that there will be several more than tho

The Detroits found the Washington team
quite an easy proposition Saturday after
noon, in Detroit, on account Of the master
ly pitching Of Donovan and the weak per-
Torrance of Al Orth, the final score being
to B. wild Bill Donovan got off well
and went the entire route without break,
holding the Senators down to four hits, all
or which resulted from bases on ball or err
rors. In addition to pitching finely, Dono-
van soaked out a home run, and big Gre
minger also hit for homer the ball going
SO far over the fence that 1t Is said to have

Orth pitched as though he had not fully
recovered from his illness, although his
companions gave him gilt-edged support
not misplay marking the work of the Sem
ators Ortiz has evidently lost heart in his
work and 1t will take some time for the
big fellow to regain his effectiveness.
The Senatorial infield worked together
nicely and put up something of a stone
wall against ground hits. but the Tigers
hit the ball so high and hard that even the
outfielders had their troubles pulling down
the speeding sphere. In the fourth inning
Moran and Stahl secured their bases on
balls and. with two out. Clarke hit a Texas
League single into right field and both
Senators scampered home. In the last in
ming. Drill hit to OLeary and reached Sec
ono as the latter threw wild to Carr, at
first. Ortiz went out. third to first, and
Drill moved up to third. Mr.. Donovan then
very obligingly sent in a wild pitch and
the Georgetown boy crossed the plate with
the Senator's third and last run.
Detroit began scoring in the first inning
getting single tally, and then added
another in the third In the fourth two
more runs went up, and in the fifth this
scoring was duplicated. In the sixth the
Tigers were content with a single run, and
hung up a cipher in the seventh. In the
eighth the Tigers scored their eighth and
last run and the labor for the day was
over with the Senators trailing in the dust.
The feature of the game was a stolen
base by Bill Clarke, who pilfered second in
such audacious manner that Bobby
Lowe stood with the ball in his hand and
allowed the Baltimore boy to slide into the
sack without being touched
