Inc unexpected happened IN Detroit yes
| terday. Nothing was known In this city
| OF the game to be played in Detroit. but
Manager Manning quietly pulled his men
out of Baltimore Monday Light, with the
Oriole aggregation made the wolverine
city by 3:45 yesterday afternoon. tackled
the Tigers In their own jungle and cleverly
defeated them by the score of 8 to ).
Travel evidently is beneficial to the sena-
torial aggregation On the circuit the
Washington club is viewed with consider
able apprehension but out at the American
Park Manager Manning's players have
been the easiest of teams to defeat. On
the first trip west the Senators made
splendid showing, and from present ihdfca-
lions they are out for a repeat" perform
ance. 1t is to be hoped that the sood play
ing on the road will be continued On the
local grounds. as the Washingtors are
scheduled for something like thirty-f1ve
games at home, and a good string of vic
tories will place them up in the first
division
In yesterdays game Case Patten was the
star. his curves being a puzzle throughout
the ten innings. Last season Patten was
terror to the Detroit batsmen. and he Is
evidently as strong as ever. DUNCAN and
Clarke got mixed up in misplays. or the
victory would have been much easier. Bill
Coughlin did wonderful work around third
base. and Clingman and Quinn were not
far behind At the bat the new recruit,
Waldron was the leader. having four pref
ty singles to his credit while Sammy Dun
gan was close up with three Foster has
evidently regained his nerve as we'll as his
batting eye, his hitting yesterday was
OF the timely order and drove in runs
Captain Bill Clarke became obStrepcrous
with the umpire in the seventh inning, on
account Of "punky' ball being put IN the
game by the Detroit management, and as
result he was sent to the bench and Mich
ael Grady went behind the hat. The change
| proved beneficial. as Mr.. Grady had his
| batting eye with him and helped materially
| to demOraliZe Pitcher Cronin, who was
| the rubber for Detroit.
With the clnkers and cinders still cling
| ing to them from the long car ride. the
| Senator'S started the first inning though
| they were mad and wanted to get the con-
| test over Waldron opened up with nice
| single. but Farrelrs pop fly failed to adj
vance him. DUNCAN and Clarke followed
with singles. driving Waldron the
| to a double sacker. which cleared the
bases. Joe Quinn, not to be outdone. then
| laced beauty through the infel1 and
| Foster scored the fourth run.
| The Tigers were much wrought up and
| went right back after the Senators. but 1t
| required the errors of DUNCAN and Clarke
| to help them up alongside their opponents.
| Holmes shot a speedy one to Clingman and
| on the throw to first DUNCAN dropped the
| ball. Barrett followed with a single, but
| Holmes was held on second. Gleason then
third. Base hits then almost rained for
! short while. good drives for singles by
| Elberfeld. Nance and Crockett driving
| total of four runs across the plate and tie
| ing the score Foster made a pretty assist
| on Nance5 drive to left and two runs are
| all that should have been scored, but
| Catcher Clarke let the ball get away from
| him. and Gleason. who Logging 1t for
| home. crossed the plate with plenty of
margin to spare.
| Neither side scored In the second, but In
| the third Washington got one run and De-
troit also pulled up even with a single tai
| ~. DUNCAN started off with nice drive
| to left field and went to second on Clarkes
| clever sacrifice. Foster followed with q
| long single to right center and Sammy
| crossed the plate. In the Tigers turn at
| the bat Gleason and Elberfeld made hits
| and the former scored on Nance's long
| drive and out to center.
! 1t was case of nip and tuck then for
SIX innings. the ninth turn at the bat being
| fruitless for both teams. In the tenth
| Washington once more got going with their
| little bats, and when it was over three
| great big runs had been whipped over the
plate
| DUNCAN once more began business with a
| single and Grady'S safe one sent him to
| third Foster hit a long fly to Barrett, and
| IL must have been far out, as DUNCAN
! scored on the catch. Coughlin then forced
| Grady at second. Quinn drove a pretty
single, Coughlin going to third and on
Clingmans scorching single to deep right
field both runners scampered over the
plate The first two Tigers up flew out to
| Quinn and the third one died on long fv
| to Farrell. 1t was pretty batting exhibi-
| tfon on the part of the Senator'S and thew
| deserved to win. Score:
