The strain of that magnificent twelve inning tie game Friday afternoon told on the Black Sox yesterday and the re- action was apparent. Detroit won from them. Score to l.
 The program had been to save Sis" Hopkins for today's game, but Manager Whistler decided to put Hopkins in yes terday and let Oscar Streit pitch the last game of the series this afternoon. Sis" pitched the entire game yesterday. the first. time that one of the local pitch CTS has done that this season.
 While the Tigers hit Hopkins pretty hard the work was the best thing could have happened for the Southpaw, and he showed the fans that no matter how he is punished he never for moment loses his head.
 Harry Manners caught the entire game and did his work remarkably well, get ting three put-outs without an error.
 Jack Deering and Kissinger for the Tigers pitched possibly the best game saw the last of them yesterday. Eason and Mulin will pitch the last game of the Detroit series today.
 Of the four lonesome hits made by the locals yesterday Molesworth and Lew Whistler got two each and 1t looked like the Tigers were destined to give the To- calls the first shut-out of the series. In the locals half of the seventh, however a three-bagger by Molesworth-that by the fraction of an inch escaped being a home run-and Whistler's opportune sim gle, put Molesworth over with the run that saved the shut-out.
 That man Lew McCallister, who plays nearly every position on the Detroit team, was behind the bat, with Kissinger in the box. While Molesworth hit for a single his first time up, the Black Sox retired in their half of the first without marring the tally sheet.
 In the last half Barrett lined out the first ball, but they were also retired:
 In the second Durett was down when 1- A..Y,a Af q hit. Barrett, who was playing short, scooped up Harry Mannerss hit, got it to Smith in time to nail Stickney, and Smith fielded the ball to Charlie Carr in time to get Manners on first, con- pleting the fast double.
 In the last half hit and stolen base by Clements Gessler's sacrifice and Yea gers hit, scored Clements.
 The locals couldn't produce in the third, but in the last half coveys of those ter rible Tigers began pouring over the plate. Bunched singles by Gessler, Yeager, Mo- CaIlister and Crawford put three runs over.
 In the fourth the locals went out in one, two, three order, and in the last half, while Smith got a hit, Hopkins struck out big Carr and the others retired the side.
 The fifth was a ase of nothing doing for the locals. but in the last half there was another procession of red-legged Ti- gers over the plate. single by Yeager, a tWo-DaSger DN hlSSlnger Wltn 6dTTelt 5 base on balls put McCallister and Yeager over. The locals were blanked in the sixth, Jack Deering being in and things looked blue for the fans. In the last half Craw- ford lined out a single, Charlie Carr fol- lowing by lifting the ball over the fence for a home run. He and Crawford did the follow the man from Cooks stunt around the diamond and over the plate.
 In the seventh with one gone. Moles- worth landed on one and Gessler was chasing the ball, which hit the center field fence, Lew Whistler scoring him with a clean hit.
 Then the locals seemed to brace up and the last half was put out of business without a run.
 In the eighth nothing was done. and in the last half after Crawford had gotten him hit, Spratt Kanzler and Whistler made a fast double out of Carr's hit to third.
 Whistler got his second hit of the game in the ninth, but the run couldn't be pulled over. The Tigers of course didn't play the last half and the game wound up to in favor of Detroit.
