A great. big crowd was on hand yesterday
afternoon at American League Park 10
welcome the Nationals from their western
trip. and everybody was made glad as they
nosed out the Detroits in a six-inning game
the score being to o. Rain prevented fur
ther proceedings after two were out and
Cooley had made hit in the visitors half
of the seventh inning. Umpire O'Loughlln
waited the necessary thirty minutes and, as
it was stiu raining at the expiration of that
time. the game was called
Pitcher Adams, who recently was obtain
cd from the Texas League, and who acted
as a relief for several twirlers on the west
ern trip pitched his first game for the
Washingtons and worked like an expert
from beginning to end. He allowed the
Tigers but five hits, scattered in ms many
innings and had he and Hickman not
erred the Wolverines would never nave
been dangerous. Hickman and Jones col
Iided back of second in going after
O'Leary's fly in the second, the ball drop
ping from the formers hands. and Adams
hit OLeary in the back with the BAN III
TRYING to throw to Stahl, the shortstop try
ing to sacrifice Crawford to second with a
roller along the first base line. THESE were
the Nationals two errors and the Tigers
went the route without slip up,
One Run. but It Was Enough.
George Mulln did the twirling for the
Tigers. and did well, with the exception OF
the fourth inning when he allowed two
singles to be punched him, and these
brought in the run that won the game
The solitary tally was recorded in TINS way
Hill led off with a clean single into rlght
for which Schaeffer made a gallant Try
but Just missed. Hickman then played the
game by laying down neat bunt ana was
out. Mullin to Lindsay Hickman's COLL
sion had lamed him or he would nave
beaten out the bunt. Anderson then came
forward with another clean single over
second and Hill rushed home. Anderson
stole second but Huelsman and Stahl were
easy outs at first.
BriIliant plays were recorded by Mcln-
tyre. Lindsay and Sjahl. The first named
was playing deep for Hueisman III me go
ond, vet he had to run almost TO the Ieit
field fence to pull down the big fellow
long fly. Matty's good judgment shut on d
three-bag gger. In the same inning Jones
sent up a high foul that came down Just
over the railing of the right field seats
Lindsay ran over and by great stretch
managed TO get his hands on the ball ana
held on TO it. 1t was a nerVy eXmDitloh
and the. spectators showed their apprecid-
zion by loud and continued cheers.
StahIs Good Catch.
The play that brought Manager Stahl
into prominence resulted on Lew Drills
loaing on a pop fly to Hickman that
seemed so easy to be hardly worth while
leaving the batter's box Cheerful Hick
waited patiently for the ball to drop into
his waiting paws and, becoming impatient.
doubtless closed his hands too soon and
the sphere dropped to the ground. The
mishap woke Hickman up in jiffy, and
with quick recovery he threw to first.
The throw was wide and high, but Stahl
stuck out his left hand and pulled down
the ball, getting Drill by a step. Craw
ford was on third when the ball hit
and was almost seated on the Detroit bench
when Drill was put out. That tally would
have tied up the score and saved the game.
In three of the six innings the Detroits
had runners near enough to the home plate
TO have scored on single error, but
little Adams worked with great brilliancy
in these tight spots and undoubtedly saved
the game.
President Ban johnson of the American
League occupied a box close to the Ma
Ionals bench, and. for once proved that
he Is not a "hoo-doo" to the local team
