We're going it down in this room and recon- struct this affair, movement by movement, ff it really was an un- foreseen and aimless business, then every single bit of evidence we have gathered wil fit into place—it it does not, then something has been tampered with!” “But who could have tampered witb it?

But if the evidence leads us to imposs!- bilities, then the nce must be wrong.” “ Lafferty gave his superior a know- ing look. “Then you have got some thing up your sleeve,” he accused. “No, I haven't, except an instine- tive feeling that we're going to run into some mighty queer things. Now, let’s have a look at Jackson's surprise package.

A home run by Hale in the fifth inning started things going in fine shape for the Tribe. This home drive followed Trosky’s triple in the same frame. Philadelphia pounded Brown for five runs in the first inning with Foxx and Miller leading the at- tack with doubles. -The St. Louis Browns, after trailing in the first three innings, reversed the order of things and piled up sixteen runs against the ; Yankees’ seven tallies, taking the “contest, The Browns turned loose with a batting attack in the fourth inning which brought them eight. Campbell knocked out a home run in the same frame. - The Washington Senators won Over the Chicago White Sox, 9 to 6.
