Skipper Blankenshlp last night announced an-nounced that he would work Emmett Munsell against the Tigers today. Mun-sell Mun-sell Is the right-hander obtained from the San Antonio club of the Texas league. He is said to have the whole repertoire of a high-class pitcher, and no doubt there will be a considerable company of fans on hand to give him the o. o. Munsell Is nicknamed "lefts'," but he is a starboard star-board fllnger. Sunday's double-header will begin at 2 o'clock. It is probable that the second game of the twin bill will be made seven Innings bv agreement unless Sunday turns out to be an exceptionally bright day. Four of Salt T.Hk's runs yesterday were scored on sacrifice riles. Billy Orr brought In two and Lynn and Hallinan the other two. To steal third base with the pitcher holding th- hall Is something of a feat. Gedeon did It yesterday on Decanniere. , Dad Meek appears to have left about ''00 pounds of his avoirdupois in Texas. Dad should make the Tigers a great pinch hitler once he gets into his stride He continued to hit .300 In the Texas league, a habit Dad has had for the last twenty years. Billy Orr had a peculiar batting record yesterday. In his five appearances at the plate Bill sent the runners along twice with; sacrifice hits and twice brought I hem home with sacrifice flies. The other time BUI skied to Kane. Thus he was legally at bat only. once, although ills hal was one of the most potent factors fac-tors In putting Salt Lake back Into third P"""' Risberg almost gol Brief's liner in the firsl but the ball was a trifle, loo high. Joe Gedeon received a vicious crack on the hand by a pitched hall In the fourth For a little while it was thought that a bone was broken, but happily that supposition proved erroneous. K When Red Held was hit on the ankle bv a foul tip and drew up lame Hannah came forth with first aid to the Injured in the shape of a plentiful supply or water. Hannah can have a lot of fun on his rare days off. . .. Ryan's hopper to Berger In the first appeared to be a sure out. but the ball took a bad hop and went over Joe's head. , Briefs fly in the second look a peculiar curve as it came down and Purteil was forced to run back for It. Risberg made a fine play when he got Ryatl'S hit In the third. He caught the ball with one hand. Doane speared Halltnan' s long fly with one mitt In the third, but Gedeon scored on the catch. Bobby Davis was doubly unfortunate Up sustaining the hurt which kept him on t he Red ( 'ross list for such a Ioiir time. But for the Injury Bobby would have been sold lo the White Sox and, instead in-stead of having all his ladders to set up again, he would not be lookinc forward to a big league career. McCredle admits all this. , According to Walter, but very little remained re-mained to he done toward fixing the deal with Comlskey. The Sox were very much interested In Davis and were willing (o part with quite a sum for the privilege privi-lege of being allowed to pay the little shortstop's salary. Then he slid Into the plate without thinking to apply the "safety first" doctrine and the deal was off as well as a large portion of Bobby's hide. No wonder Mac took Davis's injury in-jury so seriously. Carlisle Is having the worst season of his career In the Coast league. He fs not even scoring runs t Ids year, which has always been bis long suit But he is a young fellow and his luck may turn any time. Elliott is hopeful of hid club's taking a brace in the home series and putting up a fight. Also he has returned with a profound respct for Salt Lake. Rowdy (Continued on Following Page.)
