After Detroit had tied the score in the
ninth inning yesterday-and it required
four runs to bring their record CT tallies
up to ours Manager Tom LOTUS remem-
bered the tale of the man who left his
barn door open and then after his horse
was stolen securely locked the barn.
AS soon as Detroit had secured a
quartet of runs, chiefly by reason Of the
fact that the crowd was allowed to
swarm over the right field, making it
impossible for Lee to get hit or field
it properly after he once secured it,
Manager LOTUS ordered that the crowd
be sent back to the bleachers.
But by that time the damage had been
lone.
The game had been practically won by
:he Tigers. and nearly 1900 disgusted
ans INDUCED in some hammer work in
which Pitcher Al orth and Manager
LOTUS figured rather prominently.
When the visitors went to the bat in
he last inning the score was g to in
avor of Washington. The occupants OF
he right field bleachers left their seats
lnd lined Up along the foul line running
o the clubhouse. Some few dozen of the
more ventureso-le invaded the field.
The willy gentlemen from the Michigan
metropolis Immediately saw chance to
ecurc few runs. Everybody was in
tructed to hit TO right field Harley did
o, but he failed to draw his hit around
ar enough and Lee easily captured IT,
Then Gleason dropped one into the
rowd along' the lines and 9 gentleman
Tith a low forehead and q receding chin
mdeavOrod 20 stop the ball with his
oot- His intentions however honorabl
'ere not conducive to assisting the
ocals to win the game. for the ball
'ecame "biockea" and before it could
e returned TO the middle OF the diamond
;leason was around the bags with the
rst of the four runs that gave US the
ibosh.
Mcclure next singled and Yeager hit
il easy one to Orth.
Orth's Costly Error.
The Washington twirler Immediately
ave evidences of an attack Of the blind
taggors, for after making foolish ef-
orts to pick up the ball. he threw il
ride to Coughlin at second, whereas
the throw had been at all accurate.
ieGuire would have been readily re-
lred.
Barrett hit to Ely, who threw to Doyle
4 plenty of time to get Yeager. but
icGuire came home Oh the play.
Then little, stumpy Gleason planted
he bali into that crowd in the right
ED once more and the damage was
one. The ball was temporarily lost
nd both Barrett and Casey scored.
Neither Casey's no. Gleascn's hit
'ould be good for more than three
ases under ordinary circumstances
nat is. if the field had been kept
leared. But to the credit of the local
Management, it should be stated that
ne throng was made to get back to
ac bleachers-after the damage had
zen done And. too, it should also be
ientiOned that Orth was pitching
equation grammar school ball in that
inth inning
Washington was unable TO get a man
cross the plate in the ninth, although
hen Lew Drill stopped one Of Yeager's
boots with his ribs. there was a faint
ope that perhaps after all the local
ltters who boast of batting averages
lat are fairly making the men round
louldered, so imposing and weighty
re they, might be able to knock out at
ast one run and win the game. but
ly and orth hit flies that we're easily
lken care Of. and Ryan sent a bounder
own TO Yeager, who promptly fred It
yer TO first
Five Runs in the Tenth.
The Michigan contingent started the
NTH inning as though they certainly
cant business.
Holmes opened with a single. and then
'th was given another chance TO but:
10 the error column by making
ozle on McAllister's hit, which with
" sort OF good fielding to second.
ouId have caught Holmes. Harley
ached first through the kindness OF
?. Drill, and with the bases filed GIea-
banged out hit for a base that
nt Holmes and McAllister home.
"Jeems" Mcclure clinched the game
slamming the sphere over the left
nee, sending In Harley and Gleason
cad OF himself
These five runs seemed to be enough to
tisfy the insatiate greed OF the Tigers. |
Yeager and Barrett very considerate-
fled out, and after Casey secured his /
n hit OF the afternoon, Elberfeld
nt out, orth 10 Carey.
The Senators started in to accumulate
score In the tenth, but were quickly
etracked.
ack Doyle was given a base on balls
got TO second on Delehanty's hit
left. Coughiin hit TO Casey. who
