After putting I'D a high class game Tnurs-
day, the Senators had to run against an
other piece of bad luck yesterday In Secohu
Baseman Robinson being taken Ill ana as
q consequence the team was thrown OIL i'S
balance. The men played without SPIRIT
AL Orth pitched poorly and helded WORSE
and as a result the Detroits won by the
score OF 10 to 9. Third Baseman Coughiin'
whose hand was badly injured In Cleveland,
was pressed into the game, Joe Martin go
ing to second. Both mon fielded their po-
sitions satisfactorily. but Coughlin could not
grasp the bat firmly and in this way was
handicapped. The Senators are certainly
getting down to hard pan these days and
it is to be hoped that the sick members Will
quickly regain their health and get back
into the game.
Two games a week appear to be too
much for a high class pitcher like Orth.
and in yesterdays game he didn't appear
to have anything that would puzzle the op-
posing batsmen. fifteen hits for total OF
twenty-seven bases being the record
achieved by the Tigers against him. Pitch
er Donovan led the Wolverines at the bat
with a triple, double and two singles.
while Jimmy Barrett was close up with
triple and two singles. Gentle Jeems
Ryan did the best stick work for the Sem
while Moran. Selbach. Lee and Orth also
hit we'll 1t is not often that Bill Donovan
is hit thirteen times safely for total OF
eighteen bases and more's the pity that
the Senators were not able to take advan-
tage of this batting display
After shutting out the Detroits In the
first inning in regular order, the Wash
tngtons broke the Ice with one run. Charley
Moran laid down a perfect bunt and went
to second on Carr's poor throw to Smith.
Moran was caught off the bag by Donovan
and legged 1t to second. He was directly
in front of Smith and the ball hit him back
of the head. He was almost out for few
seconds. Selbach then sacrificed and Moran
went to third from where he scored on
Longs error of Clarke's grounder.
All or Washington's poor playing was
done in the second. and three runs resulted
for the Detroits. Carr singled into left and
went to second, as Selbach fumbled the
ball. Long then hit roller to Ortiz and
In trying to catch Carr at third Albert
Edward threw away over Coughlin's head,
Carr continuing on home and Long going
to second. After Moran and Clarke had
taken care of Yeager's grounder. Smith
was given a base on balls. Beulow kindly
fouled out to kittredge, but Mr.. Donovan
whacked one into Ryan's territory good
for three bases, and Long and Smith raced
home. Barrett ended the agony by flying
out to Martin.
The Senators got busy again in the
fourth, when Clarke walked Ryan tripled
to the club house, scoring the former. and
the latter came home on Lees long fly
to Barrett This tied the score, and the
crowd had happy look for a few brief
moments when the Tigers again forged
TO the front, getting one run in the fifth
and two in the sixth. In the latter inning
the Senators also got busy and scored two
tallies. Ryan led Off with a single to
center and went to send on Lees out at
hrst Coughlin then hit to Yeager and
reached first in safety as Carr dropped
the ball. Silent Joe Martin then straight
ened out beauty triple to the center field
fence, scoring Ryan and Coughlin
The Tigers added another tally in the
seventh, two in the eighth and one in the
ninth. and obtained such lead as not to
be overtaken. The Senators made their
last gasp in the ninth, when SeIbach sim
gled to left and Lees double sent him
home.
