Ty Cobb has not as yet appeared in the game except as a pinch hitter and prob- ably will devote himself this season chiefly to directing the play from the bench. Sylvester Johnson, the ex- pensive right hander who has not de- livered since his purchase by the club two years ago, at last seems ready for the big show and may aid Detroit's chances.

Established in a fine new pavilion, attractively appointed, large, and right on the shore of Whitmore Lake, it offers a splendid place to spend an enjoyable evening. The Lake House Pavil- ion is the second pavilion on the highway upon reaching the lake. There Bill Watkins and his Granger Eight are furnishing their same excellent brand of music.
