the Senators was perfect. The men Held
ed cleanly and hit the ball in manner
that would win almost any game.
But in achieving this somewhat notable
victory over the Tigers, Patten should
not be left out when the bouquets are
being passed around. The work of the
south-winged twirler was of the mastery
order For six innings he kept the heavy
hitters Of the Michiganders at sea and the
best they could do was to secure two
measly singles, neither of which was
really worthy the name of a base hit. In
the seventh the visitors took the gauge
of the wind and got the range Cf the dis
tance between the home plate and the
bit of ground occupied by Pitcher Patten
and before the side was retired they had
banged out three hits, two one-b -baggers
and a triple-this latter the property of
Gleason. Casey, Gleason, and Holmes, all
rafting fine sluggers, waited their sticks
through the air without any results on
two different occasions, while the strike
out sign was hung up for Yeager, Barrett,
ard Sewer. Patten was given excellent
support behind the plate by Grady. A
very remarkable feature in connection
With the game was the fact that Detroit
made four double plays.

much TO the discontinue and disgust of
both Patten and Grady. The mistakes
came in such large chunks that Captain
Everett, who was quietly sitting on the
bench, ran up and eXpostulated with the
referee. He may have used language
that might not Ee used in such fashion,
able circles as Mr.. Haskell is in the habit
of frequenting, or he may have bluntly
declared he was unfit for the position he
occupied and would look better with a dark
lantern and mask, pursuing the profession
for which he was so evidently well quail
fed But no matter what was the subject
Of their discussion, Mr.. Haskell exercised
his prerogatiVes and chased Everett out
OF the grounds. In another inning, Left
Fielder Nance, OF the DetrOltS, told Mr..
Haskell that he ought to be working on
the dock once more, for which bit of airy
persifage Nance was soaked $40 in real
marks that were hurled at the umpire
from the bleachers and the grandstand
appeared to reach the ears Of that official
and none Of the spectators was fined or
put out of the grounds.
Right at the very start things took on
a roseate hue for the Senators. The
Tigers sent another elongated young man
in to do the hard work in the box. His
name is Sewer. Whether there are any
more gentlemen on the pay roll of the
Burns aggregation just like him is not
known, but II there is II viii be a great
favor if he will be trotted out for the
last game Of the series this afternoon.
He served up style Of bail that Just
about suited the locals and they took
cheer Immediately. Mercer was sent to
first CT balls. a passed ball sent the
Senatorial centre fielder TO second and
Clarke's s fly to Holmes advanced him to
the third sack. The first run was brought
home q moment later, when DUNCAN
drove a swift one to Gleason. who tried
to eaten the feet-foOted Mercer at the
home plate. but the throw went wide of
its mark, and Mercer not only reached
the haven Of safety all right, but DUNCAN
continued running until he arrived at
second, where they signaled him to stop
to catch his breath. Foster waited pa
tiently al the plate as he saw ball after
ball fly by his head, and when four had
failed TO come within the prescribed
limits he trOtted down TO first. Grady
did not seem to like the kind of balls
that Sewer was offering, and he, too,
took pass for the initial hassOck. With
pleasant TO contemplate, TO say the least
Quinn was up, and the second ball that
was pushed up toward him he let drive
at, and il settled down somewhere be-
tween the centre and left felders. well
out Of reach, while DUNCAN and Foster
scampered home, and the crowd gave the
first genuine yell that has been heard on
the grounds for some days. CHngmans
single to right scored Grady, but Quinn
was tagged in the effort to get across the
rubber on Coughlin's weak hit TO Sewer.
Here were four imposing and totally un-
expected runs, and II augured well for
the scheme Of sending the Senators to
bat first, a move Manager Manning yes
terday decided to do at the morning ses-
sion back of the barn.
There was no more scoring done by the
home men until the sixth, when Mike
Grady announced he would do something
that would bring cheer and comfort TO
the natives. He borrowed Gears bat
which is an amateur telegraph pole, and
reaches up 10 Grady's chin, when he
stands on the tips Of his toes. Then he
dared Pitcher Sewer to send him one di-
rectly over the plate. Sewer Is an accom-
modating sort Of a fellow, so he actually
started waist high bail that threatened
10 disscct the rubber plate Grady leaned
far back and as soon as the ball left the
pitchers box, he brought the bat into ac-
ton. There was peculiar sound as # a
giant fire cracker had been exploded and
there was a deep hole noticed TO sudden

OF white flannel was seen to start on a
wild tear around the bases. The streak
was not halted until ii had reached third
base, when il was found TO be Mike
Grady. and ne had a three-bagger secure

he anXiously queried of the coacher on
the side lines. Being assured that he had
not committed any crime. the catcher
was duly cautioned about playing too far
away from the base. Then IN a brief
space of time, Quinn banged out his sec
ond bingle of the afternoon and Grady
waaaied across the plate. The Senator's
catcher figured in another bit Of scoring
fn the ninth. DUNCAN was on second and
Foster on first, when Grady once more
came up with the same trusty club under
his arm. Again did he larrup a curve that
threatened at one time to unite his scarf,
but when the smoke cleared away the ball
was seen 70 bump into the centre field
fence and both DUNCAN and Foster
reached home on the slug. Grady was
cutting It for third for dear life, when
he and the ball were observed to be max
ing great race of It. According to repu-
table eye-witnesses, Grady had a shade
the better Of il, but Umpire Haskell with
that nne, discriminating vision of his,
called Grady out Then there was more
trouble, and Grady hurled philipics at
the gentleman who wields the Indicator,
and there was hot miXup imminent.
Detroit secured its only scores In the
seventh, when on two base hits and a
