DETROIT. Mich. August 23.-Winding up
with an incipient riot, the first OF the
Washington series was forfeited 10y Detroit
-by the regular to score in the first half
of the eleventh inning yesterday. While no
violence done to Jack Sheridan, who
gave the decision that caused the bother,
he followed across the field to the
club house by a mob of boys and young
men, and later followed To the car. Protec-
ton was furnished him by the club officia Is
and Detroit players and an incident that
threatened TO become a regretable affair
terminated without other manifesto tons
than verbal ones.
From the home standpoint II was an ex-
asperating finish to a game brilliantly play
ii on both sides and finely pitched by both
Mu!iin and Patten. The wind-up came in
Nashtngton's half of the eleventh and re-
suited from an attempt by Hill to steal
home. The eleventh had opened with the
score to l. TWO Washington hands were out
and none bases when Hill came to the
bat and got lucky single a little fly drop
ping just where neither Crawford nor Lind
say could reach ii. Hickman followed with
u clean single to left, and Hill. taking ad-
vantage of a little juggle by Mcintyre,
went to third This brought Anderson up.
and acre were two strikes on the latter
when the bother came.
Hill took a long lead off third and started
for the plate Mullin wound up to pitch.
He almost there as Mullin let the
ball go.
Anderson stepped back from the plate as
the runner came in, making no attempt TO
H. the ball. Warner went through the box
and got the ball in front of the plate, COM
ing down to the rubber and blocking
off HILL whom he tagged. This latter
point Is not in dispute. but as the De-
troit players started for the bench the
umpire announced that Hill was safe, and
motoned Anderson to go TO first base. Both
decisions We're on interference, Sheridan
ruling that Warner had taken the pitch
before II came over the plate. preventing
the batsman from opportunity to strike
al 1t. and also asserting that Anderson had
been pushed aside by Warner in the lat
ter's haste to get the bali to put 1t on the
runner.
There was an awful and Immediate roar
from Detroit players and fans and a great
exhibition of glee by the Washington play
ers. The Detroit players. who had started

field and made lengthy kick on the turn

them, and several of the players not being
in position at the expiration of time, for
Ieited the game.
The game the best PLAYED one the
two teams have shown in this city this sea-
son and was replete with fast fielding es-
Tscially at critical points in the game. De-
t-oit punched hits on Patten but twice and
once he pulled out by fine head work Null
In for the other side, let two hits come
together but once. and one of these was a
luck hit. The Detroiter famed eight men,
