terday afternoon went to the Tigers after a
hard struggle. by the score to to g. AS on
the day previous. the Nationals got out in
front and appeared to have the game we'll
in hand. but the Detroits used their bats
with great vigor in the last two innings
winning out In the most impressive STYLE
Manager-Captain Stahl was out of the
game on account of illness. and Third Base
man Hill was given charge of the team
He placed Anderson on first and Knoll in
right field. The Nationals as a whole put
up good game and hit the ball hard In the
first five innings. but Killian braced up
toward the end allowing but two hits in
the last four innings. and Case Patten
weakened at the same time with dire re-
suits. Patten has been going well this
spring through the use of the spit ball, and
has evidently cut 1t out, he was asked to
pitch 1t in the last two innings. but re-
fused. For seven innings the Detroits Sc
cured but two hits off Patten a single in
the first and triple in the fifth but in the
eighth and ninth five hits were made that
resulted in five runs and the game
with two left-handers working, the game
dragged Woefully, and everybody was fret
ting over the delay but there was no helm
for it. killian used speed at the start off
but he was hit so hard that he shifted to a
slow curve. that puzzled the Nationals COM
pletely.
Umpire Sheridan had another strenuous
day. the Tigers being after him from the
start on close decisions. Schaeffer didn't
like the decision over Anderson's steal of
second in the third inning and slapped down
the ball in childish fashion Get out of
the game" called Sheridan and out he
went, Lowe fixing his place at second and
Donovan gong into left geld. Manager
Armour then started into nagging Sheridan
on account of order.=s Schaeffer out of the
game, and he. too, was chased from the
field, to the glee of the spectators All the
kicking was done on very close decisions
and the Tigers had little excuse for their
action. By the time President Johnson gets
through with Messrs. Armour and Schaeffer
they will have something to think about.
In the way of fielding there was little in
the game worth recording. except a Won
derfuf stop made by Coughlin on a drive
toward left by Cassidy. The ball was hit
with a mighty swing and went toward
Coughlin like a rife shot. Bill threw up
both hands like a fighter protecting hts
face and the ball stuck in his glove, with
the result that Knoll was run down On the
line between second and third. Had the
ball gone clear of Coughlin's hands it would
assuredly have rolled to tie fence.
After shutting out Detroit in the first
inning the Nationals began doing business
with Kiliian on their initial turn at the
bat. Hill went out, second to first, but
Jones made single. Mullin followed with
a triple to the right-fieid fence, scoring

throw-in. Cooley lined a single into left,
