" COBB A WHIRLWIND

Chicago in decisive fashion, to 3,
 Manager Jennings achieved this re- suit with n change in his lineup Downs was put on the bench and the efficient Schaefer who is at home in almost any position, was shifted from third to second base, Coughlin occupy ing the third sack. This shake-u however, cannot be said to have had any material effect in winning the game, for neither schaefer nor Cough lin got hit, while Coughln bunsled one of his two chances. Thomas was placed behind the bat in place of Schmidt, with better effect, for his double scored one run.
 Counting the worlds series of last year. today's victory was the first De .troit has scored in eight contests for the highest prize in the baseball world .Mullin. elected by Manager Jennings to pitch for Detroit, was steady throughout the game, holding Chicago to seven scattered hits and passing only one man. Pfelster's left t-handed shoots for the most part failed to puzzle the Michigan batsmen. Besides Issuing three passes he was hit safely thirteen times, two of the hits being doubles and six of them occurred in one inning It was this inning the sixth which gave the game to. Detroit.

 Tyrus Cobb idol of the Detroit en- thusiasts, whose playing was a great disappointment a year ago, came into his own. He batted like the natural hit ter he Is, and ran bases like flash His batting average for the day was 800 Out of five times lip he hit safely four times. His stinging single to right 1 In the first drove in O'Leary with the first run of the game. In the fourth he beat his slow grounder, scoring McIn- tyre. Tn the eighth, his sprintlng en- abled him to make double of a hit which with a less speedy man would have" been good for only one base. In fthe. next timing he singled, and he not only sfole second, but third also by narro@ margin. He had no opportuni- ties in the field, to the great regret of his admirers in the stand. Others whose work contributed materially to the victory were O'Leary, Crawford and Rossman, each of whom made two hits although Rossman and OLeary were, both charged with errors
 To Mullin, however, the greatest credit was awarded by the spectators Even in the fourth inning, when all three of Chcago's runs were scored, he never faitered- His work remained fsteady and his.arm strong and his con tro excellent. The only base on balls which he allowed was turned into a run by Chicago.

 Detroit was the first to score. In its half of the first inning O'Leary, with one ojit, lined out a ball to hot and awkward for Steinfeldt He went to second on Crawford's out and came home on Cobbs single to short center. Only one more hit and no runs was the best Detroit could do until the sixth, when by fine rally they caught up and, as 1t proved made the game safe Muffin, the first man up, got base on balls Mcintyre singled to left and O'Leary laid down bunt which filled the bases, for Pfester failed to catch Mullin at third. With none out the Michigan contingent cheered wildly as Crawford came to bat The sturdy centerhelder hit viriously and the re- sulting grounder was altogether too hot for Chance to hold While Chance was whtrling around frantically seek ing the ball, Mullin crossed the plate and the other runners advanced d base each, leaving every point stlll occupied by Detroit runner. The fleet Cobb beat his own slow bounder to Tinker and Mcintyre scored, the bases still being full as before with no one out Rossman singled to right, scoring O'Leary and CraYford, while Cobb made the circuit from first to third. Eofman captured Schaefers fly to cen ter and with fine throw caught Cobb at the plate. Thomas double to right scored Rossman, but the run getting was stopped when Evers threw Cough lin out at first:
