Cincinnati - AZ rs .376
Having scalped the Beaneaters twice
on the preceding afternoon, the Detrofts
yesterday strolled out to the American
League Park. nearly an hour behind time,
where Jimmy Manning's proteges were
waiting to wallop them good and hard
The Lake Shore men rode into the
grounds in their chariot about o'clock,
having missed their train at the Monu-
mental City. They Immediately dorned
their baseball togs and in a few moments
were ready for action. But Manager
Manning had given the Senators stiff
calldown for their performance on Mon
day and told them that If they did not
boost themselves into better class of
ball tossers that there would be de-
cided slump in the size of the roll in their
envelopes on Saturday. Bill Clarke took
the hint and the tip was passed around
to all the players. SO they all went out
on the field, bright and early, so early
in fact that they were almost played
out when the belated Detroits arrived on
the battle ground.
AS il was very late when the play be-
gan the Senators knew the game could
not last very long. so they proceeded to
get together and hold a conference Bill
Clarke sent out scouts to get inside in
formation regarding the enemy's strength
in the box, and one of them returned
little later with the news that a big
hefty lad was to be sent out to the rubber.
Looking over his dope book of mis- wards
Manning found that Carrick had been
bowling them over in great style for the
last five or six games he has figured in.
and, having no other old war horse to
send in he asked Wee Willie If he did
not think II was about time for him to be
getting another floral tribute from some
of his admirers. Willie replied that he
had forgotten all about that, and If it
pleased Jimmy to pat him in, why It
fairly tickled him to death. Carrick took
his stand in the box and began to shoot
the shoots over TO the visitors in approved
style. and when the game was called the
hit column of the Michigan lads showed
that only six impressions had been made
in it. while their run alley yielded only
the figure /.
The visitors got one of their hits in the
initial inning, three in the second-the
only bad inning Carrick had, and the only
one In which the Tigers did any business
with his benders-one in the third and
as many in the fifth. They scored their
solitary run in the second when Dillon
singled to centre and Cronin came to the
front and laid his weight against a float
err and sent it soaring into left garden,
moving Dillon to the terminal, while he
skedaddled over to the third portmanteau.
But after Cronin arrived there Coughlin
pulled off an old. old stunt that has Oft
times been repeated. but 1t should be
rarely seen with two men on the coach
ing lines to advise the runner. In re-
turning the sphere to the iniield the ball
was thrown to our tricky third baseman

hand work. his hands moving faster than
coachers' eyes, and showed the pall up
under his arm and assumed ms Position
as Il there were nothing wrong Carrick
was standing in the box as If he were
about TO toss the giobule over, and Cronin
eased of the ottoman Slightly, but enough
TO get him caught. and he returned to the
bench arnids the jeers and howls of the

out. Barrett lined a long hit into centre
field. and had Cronin not been put out he
could have ambled home with run to
his credit.
