PUZZLING MIR. PEPPERS
THE PITCHER WITH A HOT NAME
TOO MUCH FOR DETROIT.
He Breaks the Home Grounds Record
Allowing the Visitors but
Three Little Singles.

Peppers pitched a great game yesterday.
Had he been supported properly in the
second and third innings the Detroits
would have been shut out. They hit safe
ly but three times and Glenalvin was the
only TO secure a clean, respectable
single. The other two hits were little in
field weaklings OF the scratch order The
new pitcher was as steady as clock and
gave but two bases on balls. He hit one
man, but like the bases he gave, it cost
nothing. In short. his work was superb
throughout the game, and he cut quite
figure at the bat with a single and
triple. After the third inning his support
was without a flaw, the fielding features
being a fine stop by Gray of a fast
grounder from Manassau's bat in the
fourth, Henry's running catch of Earle's
fly i'm the sixth and MOTIFS unasssted
double play in the eighth, when he caught
Earle's hot liner and doubled DUNCAN,
who had reached first on a bunt hit.
OF the errors Henry's was partially ex-
cusable, being made on short fly after a
hard run. Murphy dropped a throw by
Mills 10 the plate and let in a run. The
throw was high and little wide. Gray
stopped a hot ball, but threw it badly to
first. These mistakes gave the Detroits
their two runs.
The men from the Michigan metropolis
set hot fielding pace for three innings.

acter. After that, however, they went
lame, to speak. and, as the home team
began to gauge Pears to good effect, fell
easy victims. Their infield had three very

There was a regular May festival audi-
ence out yesterday and the grand stand
was pretty sight. Hundreds OF ladies en-
joyed the game. which is becoming more
and more popular with the fair sex every
day. They talk about base hits and errors
almost as glibly as the dyed-in-the-wool
supporters of the sport.
