DETROIT. May 19.-Today's story will
be chapter from the t'Miserables,'' at
J least, our bold athletes feel miserable
enough as result of the severe drub-
bing they received from Killian yester-
day when he shut them out, to 0.
His actions were highly offensive; he
showed no manners whatever in dealing
with visitors. Two hits were ali he al

dissenting opinion.
Two Hits.
Hill made one in the first session and
perished in a Wild attempt TO steal sec

seventh round and faded away when
Cassidy flied out. Where Kihian rubbed

and hitting a man. For four diherent
innings ne dailied with fate by letting
two Nationals reach first without any
fault of theirs. but each time his superb
emergency ability was brought into use
and nothing eventuated.
Cassidy was the principal sufferer
from the effectiveness of the man from
this rainy town. He had all of the reel

pitching furnished by the cussed Kill
lian not a team in the league could have
done better.
Errors Helped Some.
As a chaste rebuke TO themselves for
doing so much good fielding in The past
the Nationals decided to make a few
errors Patten, Mil. Hin and Cassidy

scorers were up stump in knowing
how TO record the play. In the second
inning Detroit began to lay down

The winner. Stahi's attempt left first

Patten was IN his worst possible form.
He couldn't have buneoed even the
Chadwick bankers with the curves he
offered. They We're wide enough, they
were speedy enough. they were Wen con-
