II was a perfect day for base Dali, ana
the champions took advantage of the con

the game broke for the Detroits, KING ana
Brown stopped them dead by wonderful
exhibition of brainy ball The plaSs tht,'
showed the class of the Cubs were CROWD
ed into one inning-and that the fourth.
Summers Wabbled.
Summers whose terrific speed and fast
curve had been stumbling block to the
champions. wabbled in the third inning
with two out. and two slashing drives. fol-
lowing up couple of gifts, yielded two
tallies and gave Chicago the we'll earned
lead. Brown was pitching with all the
nerve and experience of his career concen-
tratad upon putting the Tigers out of the
running His famous hook curve was
breaking cOmetlike around the plate. and
there was a jump on his fast ball that
made it look like a camel humping itself.
But the Tigers when wounded and hurt
are most dangerous, and suddenly In the
fourth they turned upon Brown 1t was
Charlie O'Leary who started it, He came
up filled with determination. and. instead
of trying to hit the ball hard. just poked
his bat against low, fast outshoot. and
the ball flashed over. Tinker's head into
left field for a hit. Wahoo Sam Crawford.
the most dangerous hitter in the American
League was next, and between him and
Brown it was a duel of wits. Brown was
trying to outguess the Nebraska barber
And Wahoo Sam, armed with his barber
pole, trimmed down to the size of bat
was trying to beat Brown at his own
game.
Brown knows Crawford simply tears the
cover off balls pitched high to him. yet his
first pitch was a fast ball. with hump on
if. right across Crawford's face. Sam per-
mitted it to flash past unnOticed, and then
Brown whipped fast straight overland
ball on the inside corner across Craw-4
ford's knee and outguessed the swatta-
torial star of the American League. who
took a fierce wallop at the ball and
fouled it to left field.
Some Guessing Here.
Then Brownie guessed that Sam would
guess that he would guess he would pitch
a low ball again, so he guessed he would
pitch high one, and Sam guessed that
same way and when Brown shot a fast
ball right across his shoulders Sam took
an awful wallop and sent the ball skip
ping along between Steinfeldt and Tinker
and out to Sheckard like a flash. There
Were men first and. second and none
out. and the Detroit crowd had its first
opportunity TO yell The yell that went
up stirred the Detroit river and echoed
clear across to Windsor, as Tyrus Cobb,
the mighty, came to bat.
The situation was exactly the same
that which confronted Pfeister in the game
at Chicago. and every one knew that the
play which was TO be attempted was pre-
cisely the same on which Pfeister gave
Detroit five runs the previous day. Yet
the situation which confronted Brown
was even worse, for the men on bases
Were faster and Cobb a better bunter.
