The washington club shifted quarters
yesterday from St. Louis to Detroit, ana IN
a poorly played game the Tigers defeated
the Senators by the score of IL to Z. Inc
Senators so far have made two PAD starts
in Chicago and St. Louis. In the WINDY
city it was a continuous performance out
in the mound city it was only a Jolly, the
Senators recovering quickly ana winning
the last three games. 1t is TO be hoped that
this latter program will be followed in De
troit.
On account of having so many left-hand-
ed hitters on it's roster Detroit was
thought to be easy for Case Patten, and
this clever lad was sent against them yes
terday But Patten fielded badly himself,
which demoralzed the other players. and
as result his curves were hit hard after
chances had been offered to retire the side.
Patten is undoubtedly one of the poorest
fielding pitchers in the business, and if he
is unlucky enough to have chances of field
ing the ball come his way early in the game
his work is affected at once. Give him
good start and there is no catching him
He got off badly yesterday, making an err
ror in the first inning, and thereafter the
contest was easy for the Detroits
Opposed to Patten on the rubber was
George Mullin, and he held the Senators
well in hand at all points of the game.
Mulin can field his position to perfection,
and at two different times he cut off rallies
at the bat through quick handling of the
ball.
Through good advertising and excu~Jions
run from up the state by President Postal
of the Washington club there was a great
big crowd present, and the Senators had all
the encouragement necessary the first of
the game. After the Detroits got their
good start the visitors from up state turned
their allegiance to the Tigers and there
were few cheers for the Senators there
after The Detroits put up splendid field
ing game in addition to hitting well, this
condition of affairs being no doubt brought
about by the severe treatment the Tigers
had received at the hands of the Balti-
mores. They were about due for a brace.
and of course it was Manager Lotus luck
to catch them on the turn.
The WashngtOns started off well and for
minute looked like winners. Ryan, the
first man up, hit into left for a double, and
a minute later sprinted all the way home,
as Buelow allowed a swift inshoot to slip
between his fingers and roll to the grand
stand
The Detroits got right down to work In
the first inning, the two first batters hit
ting safely, and then Patten got in his first
error, a bad throw to WolVerton filling
the bases Dillon was then given base on
balls, forcing in a run, and a minute later
Clarke cut loose with a wild throw to first
and two more runs We're hung up by De
trOit.
The second and third innings were blanks
but in the fourth Detroit made three and
in the fifth duplicated this run scoring
The sixth and seventh We're blanks once
more for the Detroits. but in the eighth
two more tallies were chalked up, making
eleven in all. In the ninth inning Coughiir
led off with a single and came all the Way
home on Carey's triple. But the bat ing
ended right
taking their last turn at the bat
Following is the score:
