It was grand.
Nay. We may even go further and say
it was simply gorgeous. In fact, too
utterly utter-that walloping Washing
ton gave the Detroit Tigers here yes
terday by 10 to 0.
The sting of the IS to 1 defeat by Chi
cago on Wednesday was forgotten,
which was something. for that sting
was deep. The days of gloom and rain
were forgotten. except that the fans
were specializing whether Washington
might not have trimmed the clawless
Tigers on Thursday and Friday when
the young floods transformed the ball
yard into an amateur lake.
There were so many heroes and so
many notable deeds that it would be
impossible TO recount them all He be-
ing a newcomer, a welcome arrival, we
begin with a paean in praise of Jim Del
ehanty, late Of the st. Louis Americans.
James was obtained to fill the place Of
Lave Cross, who was released outright
yesterday, and will buy a minor league
franchise.
Delehanty's Daring Deeds
This bold youth smote the ball for a
double. on which he afterward scored
by speedy and daring base running, and
a single which tailed Ganley In the
fourth. Also. he sacrificed once, and
once he drew transportation. His final
appearance at bat ended in pop fly to
second. which retired the side. His bat
ting average was .667 for the day. In
fielding he accepted his three chances
without the semblance of an error. and
had the distance to first gagged to the
width OF a sweat pore on a gnats heel.
A gala day for James and 6,444 fans.
CAPTAIN Ganley drew three singles and
q base on balls in five times up, and
scored two runs. Dave Altizer and Jack
Warner each contributed three singkrs,
while Charley Jones garnered single
and a double. John Anderson had regu-
lar clearinghouse arms when ii came
to reaching for things at first base. and
besides. although he did not get hit, he
tailed twice, on a pass and an error.
George Mil got only enc hit, but count
ed twice, and distinguished himself by
great running catch in the fourth in
ming, that ended the discussion when
Detroit had men on first and second.
Perrine got a hit, and was absolutely
reliable in his six fielding chances.
How Smith Got His.
Now for the directors of this tri-
umphal chorus. Charley Smith started
IN the box In the first inning Detroit
got one hit. in the next two none, and
in the fourth two. Then Hero Smith
was a victim of the fortunes Of war.
Coughlin opened the fourth by fouling
to Warner. Crawford drove a single
through Perrine. Cobb flied to center
Claude Rossman grabbed his trusty bat
and here Smith exited. Rossman hit
swift one full on the nose, and sent IT
like a shot at Smiths midriff. There
was no chance to dodge or sidstep. All
Smith could do was 20 drop his hands
and take his medicine. The ball struck
his wrist turned him clean around. and
nunnbed the entire arm. 1t was a single
all right. and put Crawford on second.
Despite the deafness of his wing
Smith served TO Downs. on whom Mil
made a star catch, and the inning was
ever Smith was spry enough last
night. and will not be out because Of
the injury. Graham batted for him in
the fourth and famed
Falkenberg Lasted.
FaIkenberE succeeded Smith on the
slab and made his mark in many ways
He allowed only three hits In the last
FIVE innings. He is surely a great quar-
ter pitcher. II he could always go the
distance, buff we did not have such
Because of his remarkable height, in
habitants would not be nature takers.
Because Of his remarkable height in
the NTH inning he pulled down a high
bounder from Schmidt that should have
been a safety. But the real wonder has
not vet been told-in the seventh inning
Frederick Falkenberg stole second. 'Tis

didn't throw the ball. but he stole the
base. Please bear that in mind
Concerning the opposition. Mullin was
the central figure. He had a little corn
ucopia, from which he distributed
savors right and left. Thirteen singles
and two doubles were made off him.
besides which he made two errors that
figured in four runs. and couldn't pick
up a bunt with a scoop net. Washing
ton got sociatle with his delivery in
every round but one. and three of the
innings were marked by galaxies of
three hits by the home folk. He was
as welcome as Delehanty, and thanks
are due TIughey Jennings for nominat-
ing him 10 pitch.
Details of the Slaughter.
Here is the tale of the brutal slaugh-
