The scorching weather of yesterday after
noon appeared to be just what the Sena-
tors were waiting for. and in the game with
Detroits they displayed more ginger than
they have for many days, hitting the ball
viciously and running bases with such
speed as to get tie limit out OF every hit.
The result of this combination was seven
teen runs while the Tigers scored but four,
three OF which were pure gifts in the last
inning For long hitting little Robinson
carried off the palm, getting double, a
triple and a home run, while the George
town boys, Moran and Drill, led the team
in the number of safe drives. Each ham,
mered out a triple and three singles Sell
bach and Clarke we're close up. with two
singles and a home run, while Pitcher Will
son got into the batting bee with three
singles Joe Martin was the only Senator
to go without a hit. In fielding the local
boys were somewhat remfss at the start

chances. while Moran and Clarke each had
an error, the last named dropping thrown
ball that gave the Tigers the three runs in
the last inning.

Detroits were simply helpless. Howard Will
son holding the visitors down to two little
singles In eight innings, and this would
have been his record on the day with good
support. He pitched with the utmost cool
ness. taking plenty of time for each deliv-
cred ball, and in mixing up the speedy ones
with the slows fooled the opposing bats

ridiculous. Even Manager Barrows, who
sweltered on the Detroit bench, had to
laugh at his teams helplessness

the game for the Detroits, but from the
start he was hammered viciously, four sin
giles and home run being made by the

retired to the bench. Deering, who had
been knocked out of the box on Wednes-
day, relieved Mullin. and although he did
well In the second inning, eighteen hits for
a total of thrty-two bases were made by
the Senators in the remaining six innings.
Both Mullin and Deering appeared to put
forth their utmost efforts to fool the OPP
posing batsmen, their work being in Won
derful contrast to the easy swing of Will
son.

feet bunt and scored with Selbach on the
latter's home-run drive over the left-field
