George sent Davis a fly. Mullane hit
a beauty down the lot, but was forced
out on Gillens hit to Steinfeldt. Dele
hanty sent a clean drive down the left
line, and stole second. After DUNCAN
flew out to Isbell, Dillard singled and
scored Del only to- be himself thrown
out on a magnificent double, the SEN
Sational event of the game when Hines
lined low fly we'll to Hollingsworth s
left, but the little fellow took 1t In MS
gloved hand, not the right one, either,
and spoiled it just is it neared the
ground. billiard was so far off first
that the rest of the double was easy.
After Isbelps pop-up to Hines, Dele
hanty fulnbled Spies somewhat diff
cult beunder. Hollingsworth drove a
low one at Steinfeldt that the latter
stopped, but could not field, and Frick-
ems single to right field scored Spies.
Holly went to third and after McBride's
fly to Nichol, the shortstop and Fricken
tried the double steal Fricken led off
and Thomas threw to billiard Holly
started in. Dillard threw to the plate
and there was a close decision, but
Hollingsworth got it, tearing himself
to pieces on the corner of the plate as
he slid under McCauley. Fricken mean
While was going on, and was thrown
out at third. The Detroits made a Wig
orous kick for the decision at the plate
but in vain, and, as it turned out, it
was quite material decision.
Detroit had a few strong points up
its sleeve yet. Nichol did not show
any sensational batting, Holly throw
ing him out nicely, but Steinfeldt
drove a clean two-bagger to left, and
Davis planted. one as good in right.
McCauley. still mad at HaskelPs decis-
ion on the home plate in st. PauPs
half, smote the ball with terrific force
and if Mcbride ever dreamed it would
be thrown back in time to head off
a home run, his delusion was complete.
Thomas and Delehanty failed to get
the ball out of the square grass plat,
so that the threatened tie was prevent
ed for a time, but it was then seven to
eight.
Glenalvin's pop-up TO Hines was in,
tereSting but not important, in the
words of Capt. Swift, but Georges
base on balls was reassuring. Null
lane, however, failed to meet the ball
at all, and George was thrown out try
ing to steal second on the third strike.
DUNCAN hit Hollingsworth one just a
little too warm to field, but was thrown
out at second on billiards. effort to
sacrifice. Hines hit to- Glenalvin and
a quick double ended another short
inning, although the decision at first
base was close.
Gillen, and Isbell's single put Sammy
where he could almost sniff the warm
stuff that was being cooked on the
home plate. A trial for double steal,
however, ended disastrously for Gillen,
although Isbell reached second safely.
A pair Of infield pop-ups blanked the
locals again.
Isbell took Steinfieldt's high one, but
Davis hit to Mullane, and beat Frick-
en- and the ball to the sack. Fricken
hit McCauley and then lost his head,
giving Thomas, who had not hit the
ball safely yet, four bad ones, with the
batting list coming top up. He had
just one strike and three balls on Del
ehanty and the crowd was hanging
breathless on the next one when it cut
the plate, until Del met it for a pretty
and inexpensive pop-up to Mullane.
People breathed then who had been
pent up for minutes that seemed
hours, and though Fricken sent Nfchol
fly there was new vigor in the way.
Mcbride smashed outa single to left.
Glenalvin was hit, too, and it looked as
though the lead would be heightened
a bit, but George gave Hines a fly, and
Mullane fouled one to McCauley.
Detroit needed one to tie and two to
win, and when DUNCAN started the last
half of the ninth with a two base
drive which Mcbride could not reach
people again began to suspend the
wear and tear on their respiratory ap-
paratus and exercise the perspiratory
exclusively. billiard, luckily for local
pride, instead of making a homer, gave
Gillen fly, and Hines grounder was
fielded fast by Hollingsworth, who
threw to Gillen to cut DUNCAN off Sam
held the play long enough for Hines to
get to second base, and Sammy Nfchol
still had a chance to tie it with a
good single, but could not get the thing
going right. Even then it was criti-
cal for an instant. F'ricken touched
the bali as it bounded and DETECTED it
away from Glenalvin. Horrors! But
Glen got it anyway and as the ball
nestled snugly in Mullane's glove, with
the loud-voiced Detroit coacher still
several feet from the sack, the assem-
6led multitude gasped and got out.
