Orths Work Feature.
Aside from the hitting by the Tigers
in the first and the Senatorial batting
rally in the ffth. the game presented
no feature other than Orth's pitching.
The Detroits had started after him
with vengeance, and made half dozen
hits in the opening round, several OF
these scratching, however, yet they net
ted four runs. After this Gleason hit
for two bases in the fourth, and was
out when Buelow's grourder struck him.
These were the only hits made of
Orth after the opening, his control and
skill being exceptional. The Tigers
went out in order in five of the in
nings. and they could neither hit it out
nor bunt.
Washington's pair in the third came
when Orth's hard bounder got away from
Elberfeld. Ryan hit safely, Wolverton
was out at first. and Delehanty's hard
single scored the pair.
