The Detroit Tigers had to leave Wash
irgton without a game, the Senators cap
turing the closing contest Of the series yes
terday by the score of to 2 With Bill
Donovan on the rubber for the Detroits it
looked like foregone conclusion that tho
locals would drop at least one game but
luck. In the shape of two disastrous throws
by Barrett and the aforesaid wild Bill -
bobbed up at the right time and the Sena-
tors quit the day with another victory to
their credit.
Barretts wild throw came to the front
In the seventh inning with the score a tie
each side having registered one run Nc
Cormick and Stahi started or with strike
outs and another whitewash seemed COM
ing the locals way, when Donovan took a
balloon ascension and sent Clarke and ia
cobsen to base On balls Moran then came
to the bat and hammered out nice single
to center. Clarke is a proverbially slow
runner and should have been thrown out
easily at the plate. but Barrett,s throw was
six feet to the left of the plate and got
sway from Buelow. the ball going to the
grand stand. Donovan and Buelow chased
the sphere. leaving the home plate I'M
guarded and Jacobsen rushed home before
Carr could get there to take the throw.
In the eighth. Cassidy In despair at not
being able to hit Donovans fast curves de-
cided to try bunt and sent slow roller
toward the Detroit pitcher. Cassidy dug
out for the initial bag and Donovan. in the
hurry 10 make the play, threw over carr
head the ball rolling through the gate
into the bleachers Under the rules the ball
was out of bounds and Cassidy continued
around the bases. registering Washington's
fourth tally. 1t aptly illustrated the old
saying of handing the game to the Senators
on silver platter
Both Donovan and Jacobsen were touched
up pretty lively in the first inning. each
side scoring run clean hitting. Bar
rett led off with single into left and Nc
1ntyre singled to right In trying to slcri-
flee, Robinson hit to Jacobsen and Nc
Intyre was forced out at SECOND. Crawford
scoring on the play. For Washington
Moran flied out to Carr and Coughlin to
Mcintyre. Setback then laced out pretty
single over second and Drills drive to left
got away from Mcintyre, going for a dou-
BILE. and Setback scored.
For the next five innings Jacobsen and
Donovan pitched gilt-edged ball and ciph-
ers were hung up in regular order. In
the seventh the Tigers made their second
run. After Buelow had flied out to Stahl
Donovan hit a beauty-bright to the left
field fence and when the ball was returned
to the infield wild Bill was perched on
third. Barrett hit a fast roller to Nc
Cormick that was trffle too speedy for
the second baseman, although he was able
to recover the ball and throw the batter
out at first. Donovan scoring on the play.
Had Mccormick held on to the ball, Dono-
van would have been an easy out at the
plate.
From the way Donovan was pitching this
lead of one run looked tremendously
large, but Barrett's wild throw followed
in the same inning and the Senators went
to the front, to remain there till the end.
Young Jacobsen deserves great credit for
his work In the box, he was performing
against one OF the star box artists of the
country. He stood the comparison well, In
fact doing better than Donovan, as he
didn't have the disastrous error charged
against him that the latter made. Jacob
sen started the eighth inning with base
on balls and Manager Donovan decided to
take no chances, as the Senators were
then one run to the good. He yanked out
Jacobsen and substituted Case Patten and
there was nothing more to 1t. as the Tigers
wflted. although Wood drove a liner
through the box that injured the south
paws working hand severely
Bill Clarke made his first appearance OF
the season with the team and when he went
to the bat for the first time was given
splendid reception by the spectators
Clarke has always been a hard worker and
he has made himself big favorite here
through that fact. He got a nice single
and accepted every one of his fourteen
chances at first.
Another new arrival was Umpire 'Silk"
O'Loughlin. and he also was given hearty
welcome. as the fans" like his nerve and
appreciate his endeavors to be correct.
