The Detroit Tigers continued their snappy
play against the Nationals yesterday AFTER
noon and as a result had an easy time
winning the score being IL TO when the
curtain went down.
Another big crowd was on hard to witness
the snort. and II is the local teams mis-
fortune that the Tigers occupied the center
of the stage almost entirely in the two
hours and five minutes OF play. When 1t Is
considered that the Detroits scored twelve
runs on as many hits and the Nationals got
but four on thirteen safe drives 1t can be
seen that the Tigers were active, while the
local players apparently went to pieces and
were demoraliZed The solution of this puz-
cling run-scOring problem comes from
George Mulnn, who apparently put on steam
only when the locals had runners on the
sacks but prevented the hits that would
have scored runs.
Young Gehrng who did so well against
the ChiCagos. was on the rubber for the
Nationals and although he did well in the
first two innings the hungry Tigers simply
ate him alive in the third and fourth Man
ager Cantilon then decided that Gehring
had suffered enough and brought out Tom
Hughes. Sir Thomas did very well for two
innings, but Mr.. Jennings crew, for fear
they hadn't done enough. lambasted him in
the seventh. hanging up three more runs.

color, the latter, of course, coming Wash

at the top OF their game Midget OLeary's
work at short stood out with glazing bril-
liancy, the little fellow taking care of his
twelve chances in : way that stamps him
as being one of the best shortstops in the
country. Rossman. at first, also played a
beautiful game. while Delehauty and the
local outfeld did the best work for the
Nationals.
Nationals Begin Well.
The Nationals got a good start in the
first and second innings, tallying a run in
each turn at the bat, but they then knocked
off work for six straight innings, only to
sumo in the ninth, when the game had been
put on cold storage by the visitors. In the
first Clymer was hit by a pitched ball and
Ganley sacrificed him to second. Clymer
then started to steal third and was we'll on
his way when Delehanty drove fine double
into left field. and Otis kept on his journey
to the plate.
In the second Mullin almost knocked
George Nil out with swift inshoot on the
head. and Manager Jennings very con-
siderately allowed Case Patten to run for
the little fellow while he was collecting his
senses on the bench. Heydon then walked,
but Shipke hit a roller to Mullin, and Pat
ten was headed off at third. Gehring

don scored.
Seven Runs Scored.
The big crowd settled back in its seats
and a feeling of pleasant anticipation per-
vaded the stands, but 1t was quickly dis

third, tearing off four hits and scoring
seven runs. O'Leary Mullin and Davey
Jones made singles, filing the bases and
