The Windsor race meeting, which
commenced Saturday will be the best
meeting ever given around Detroit.
While the attendance was only ABOUT
1000 il would have been much larger

biggest number that ever cut In
at Windsor.

The most consistent aggregation that

They started yesterday at Chicago,
and, in the presence OF larger crowd
than saw the worlds champion Cubs

morrow they move on 10 Cleveland

NAL July double header.
Then for the trembling, palpitating
east.
The best Of all the 10 to 8 victory
Of the Sabbath was the fact that the
Champions once more broke loose
ture OF the teams play that has been
a bit disappointing of late. The long
home series saw but few OF the bat
ting orgies for which the team be-
came noted and feared last season.
The work OF the pitchers alone kept
the team in the race. But the bat
ting sprint Is regarded as inevitable,
now that the old, regular team is in
the field and the club Is being spurred
along by the roofing OF hostile
crowds.
Yesterday they pounded Altrock
hard and derricked him In favor OF
Walsh in the second when, with the
bases full and two out. Schaefer
STROBE to the plate and picked one
TO the fence for clean homer that
drove In quartet OF runs.
No team is prone to get more runs
on goodly bunch of hits than the
doughty Tigers. With the hits whist
ling past the members OF the opposi-
tion and the speedy runners taking all
manner OF chances on the bags. the
Champions usually get their oppon-
ents well up In the air.
THE TIGERS WILL GO INTO A
SLUGGTNG MATCH WITH ANY
CLUB IN THE LEAGUE WITH THE
VIRTUAL CERTAINTY OF WIN
MING OUT.
They aren't so strong on the hitless
wonder stuff as some, but just watch
them when the bingaleeg are plenty.
Were the writer at this moment the
manager of one OF the rival clubs in
the American league, he would re-
gard the present as an opportune mo-
ment for making big, round offer OF
some seFt fer that grand pitcher,
George Mullin, OF the Tigers. The
traditional $4,000 needn't be the lin
fl. either. The offer might not be
accepted. TO be sure. but IL would be
regarded as time well spent, at any
rate. for George is In slump just
now and II hardly looks as IL Detroit
needs him. In case the inducement
could be made strong enough.

ERS MULLIN WOULD ASTONISH

sight of the sensational manner In

here on Saturday.
What a bunch OF speed and curve
Wild Bill Donovan did unload on the
opposition
Bill was out 10 show his old friends
that he is right and ready once more
and that his arm is as good as ever
In his wonderful career. To do this
he discarded the foxy methods for
which he has become noted OF late
and handed the Browns bunch Of
stun that fairly dazzled. The pecu-
liar wrist-snap which Wild Bill has
kept in reserve for emergencies up
10 date this season. was turned loose
with amazing prodigality. His trusty
wing cracked like whip and the ball
came up to the batsman like ray
OF light Ten of the Browns whitfield
the air and. although they opened sew
eral innings with lucky hits, Bill did
MT ask much OF any assistance from
his teammates in setting down those
who followed. In one inning with
man on hrst he whitfield the next three
batters and In the final period when
the Browns punched couple OF
lucky hits and had man on first and
another on third with only one out,
Bill held Wallace TO a grounder and
himself threw out the man coming
in from third.
Whereupon he returned 10 the box
and whitfield Charlie Jones for the final
out OF the game.
And only that sort Of pitching saved
the Tiges, for Graham was In fine form
and scattered the Champions hits 10
such an extent that they secured but
one run--the only score OF the day.

stated that In the second period of
the game last evening In New Haven,
there was one hundred and sixty
eight seconds of dead time that was
not taken out. He claimed that the
timer, instead of allowing fifteen
minutes of actual playing time, al
lowed but fifteen minutes all told,
with rests, delays and other intervals
added in on the forty-ive minutes.
He discovered that something was
wrong and went to the press box to
demonstrate. who the h are

ceived from the timer. Il am the

was the remark of spectator. There
was no throwing done but after the
game. it was practically admitted
that the dead time was not taken

Toward the end of the season OF
's4. when we were fighting hard for
the pennant Radbourne's arm was SO
lame that he couldn't brush his hair
except with his left hand. He was
of a silent, somewhat morose disposi-
ton, but as game as any man ! ever
saw. / used to room with him and
did my best TO keep him cheered UP
by repeating anecdotes and funny
stories. But I'll admit il was a hard
task to made Rad cut In with a
laugh. He thought about little else
but baseball and was always schem-
ing to get some small advantage over
the other team.
"For long time his arm was so
lame that be was unable to raise Il
above bis waist all the morning. But
he would 20 out to the ball field In
the afternoon and start to practice by
tossing the ball a few feet under
hand. BY degrees he would work the
soreness out and as he did so he
would back away from the plate to-
ward the outfeld. In half an nour he
would be lining the ball In from CEN
ter field to the home plate. Then he
was all right and would go in and
pitch another winning game. He
never sxerted himself until there
were men on bases and then he would
cut loose.
"Radbourne got a salary OF s2,S0O
the year Providence won the pen
nant and the worlds series. There
was no reserve rule in those days, and
New York tried to get him the fol-
lowing season with a big salary. Bet
we gave him a blank contract and
told him TO fll In the salary. He
wrote down $4,000. and be earned

CORNELL LOSES BIG GUARD.
Deficiency in Studies Compels
Thompson to Leave College.

Ithaca, Feb S.--Elmer Ives
Thompson, the big guard of the Cor
nell football team, whose home is in
Waterbury, Conn, has left the uni
versity because of deficiency in his
studies. Thompson was declared out
last week, but the faculty reopened
his case long enough to listen to =
petition to reinstate him. After
some consideration the petition was
turned down and the big fellow will
have to leave the university.
Under the Cornell rules this will
debar him from playing football for
Cornell next fall even if he does re-
enter the university, and by the OPP
Grafton of another rule he is pre-
vented from participating in Cornell
athletics at any future time. Ills
loss will be severe blow to the
Cornell football team. For the last
three years he has been a mainstay
of the eleven at left guard, and for
the last two years has had place
as an all American player, He en-
tered Cornell from Andover.
Thompson was first registered in the
college of civil engineering, but later
changed his course to law, from
which college he was dropped.
