tion of unique clock entirely of
slate, and the man who made it did not
pretend to be an artist or lineal de.
scendant of Michael Angelo.
Mr.. Humphrey o. Pritchard, a gifted
quarryman of the little town of Delta,
in Pennsylvania, is the author of the
remarkable clock. It is certainly an
advertisement for Pennsylvania slate
If man can make a wonderful piece
of mechanism out of slate, why
couldn't he make watches, bicycles,

derful bit of timekeeping architecture.
The clock is four feet high and
perfect timekeeper. Railroads should
have it. With such a clock big trains
ought to climb the Altoona grade and
reach the top always exactly on time.
Dollar watches are said to kill more
people than automobiles, causing busi-
ness men to miss connections at home.
When they were to be at dinner at Z
o'clock, they often do no arrive until
three and four in the morning, and
even then were not certain that they
were in the right house.
This clock has a set of cathedral
chimes. So beautiful are their tones
that one can imagine himself in old
Strassburg, Cologne or the Notre
Dame in Paris. 1t took Mr. Pritchard
eight months to complete the wonder
full timepiece.

COUGHLIN'S TRIPLE
BEAT HIGHLANDERS

DETROIT September 26.-In sensation
al finish. in which Detroit scored two runs
off Ortiz in the ninth inning, the Tigers de-
feated the Highlanders yesterday by q
runs to 5. With two out, Killian on second
and Mcintyre on first and the Tigers one
run to the bad. Capt Bill Coughlin drove
out a three-bagger to the club house in
left field, sending home the winning runs
at a moment when it seemed certain that
Detroit was to lose. Conroy made brave
effort to catch the knockout swat. but was
unable to reach it by foot or two.
Neither killian nor Ortiz was able TO
stop the hitting which developed on both
sides, and the New Yorker had the better
of 1t right up to the finish. The batsmen
had their day, and theirs was merry lot
of smuggling.
Laporte's single to right was followed by
Moriaritys triple down the left field line.
Hoffmann's long fly scored Moriarity
Singles by Cobb and Schaefer, with
Schmidt'S sacrifice, Melted Detroit one.
In the fourth the Tigers tied the score.
Cobb singled, slow drive which Williams
could not hand to first fast enough. Cobb
stole second and tore to third on Kleinow' s
low throw. Schaefer again shot one over
the infield. scoring Cobb.
Griffith injected Mcclure into the game
to stop the Tigers from running bases.
Orth worked better with the deacon. and
the Tigers went down in order for three
innings. New York made bid for a run
in the SIXTH when Elberfeld and Conroy
singled, but failed to reach.
In the seventh. however the Highlanders
were more successful. With one out Nc
CURE was hit. Orth trip!ed to right. scor-
ing the catcher. Elberfeld brought AL
home with clean drive to right
In the eighth the Highlanders made their
margin three on COnroy's two-bagger, a
sacrifice and Laportes long fly
This left Detroit still one run to the bad.
Lindsay and O'Leary poppel little flies to
Williams when the Tigers came up in the
ninth. Kilian cracked out a single be-
tween Laporte and Elberfeld. and Nc
lntyre coaxed Ortiz for a pass. Then
Coughlin produced the wallop that put the
Highlanders in second place.

BIG "GRAFT" FOR
DETROIT TWIRLERS

DETROIT. Mich, September 26.-Every
pitcher of the Detroit club who defeats
the Yankees in their present series with the
Tigers will be presented with $3.50 That
was given out yesterday by one of the
most prominent of the local club twirlers.
Donovan, who pitched the Detroits to
victory Monday over the Yanks, is said
to have received that amount. and there
is suspiciously strong desire among other
members of the Tigers pitching staff to
get a play for the graft There is no
doubt of the money being promised. for it
was common talk in the Tigers dressing
room after Mondays game.
The identity of the party or parties CIV
ing this bonus has not bee nascertained,
but it is said to be a syndicate of Chi
cago sporting men who have wagered
thousands of dollars on the White Sox
winning the American League pennant
Another story is to the effect that the
Chicago club through an unknown agent
is offering the big inducements.
Now. while there is nothing crooked in
such a procedure, it shows to what ex-
tremes the west will go to beat the Yam
KEGS for the championship. Chicago wants
the double pennant, and the fans there are
dead set on getting that high base ball
honor.
There is no doubt money has been offered
to the Detroit pitchers to do the YankS.
Manager Griffith is of the opinion that
the Detroits in Mondays game worked
the old Philadelphia "buzzer' trick. which
gives the signs between the catcher and
pitcher to the batter.

Hess Pitched Fine Game.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. September 26.-One
lone, scratch hit. made in the ninth in
ming by Coombs, gave Cleveland a chance
to keep up their winning streak yesterday
afternoon, the Athletics being blanked for
the second consecutive time. by the score
of to 0.
Otto Hess. the big PHILIPPINE twirler. who
has been showing such remarkable form
the last few weeks of the season, had the
Athletics completely at his mercy. If ever
a man worked for a nO-hit game it was
Otto For eight innings he had the visitors
buffaloed and only two men had reached
first base. The crowd was pulling for him
to hold the visitors to no hits, and it APP
peared though he had succeeded when
the Athletics came up to the bat in the
ninth inning.
With the honor almost in his grasp. Hess
was confident. but just then, the little ele-'
ment of luck came to the rescue of the
visitors. Coombs, the first man up. sent a
short fly to right field that looked easy for
Lajoie. but Congalton coming in
fast for the ball, Larry stepped aside to
let Bunk take it. He had misjudged
the distance and could not quite reach it
and Coombs had the honor of making the
only hit of the game Neither Hartsel
Armbruster or Davis could reach first base
no
