Batting Bee IN the Ninth Told the
Story at Detroit.
By Publisher Press.

By Publisher Press.
Detroit, April 2S.-Cleveland de-.
feated Detroit today by batting bee
in the ninth inning. Eunazk, who had
relieved Wigs in the fourth, went
completely to pieces after Turner
with the bases full, had singled to left,
tieing the score. Detroit hit Rhoades
hard in the fifth, but he held them
safe at the finish. The batting of Ray
and Bemis was a feature. An error
by Payne cost Detroit chance to hold
Cleveland to tie before Turner
started the batfest. Score:

The pitchers of the American asso-

there were but eighteen batters above
the 800 mark.

criticism is heaped upon the Cabinet for
delay in laying down more warships OF

to the present programme England by

programme of The agitators to build four
Dreadnaughts to every two laid down
by Germany. In connection with the
agitation now in progress, comment has
been aroused by an expression which in
