 ready popularized himself by fast, clean fielding, swung vieiously. The ball scared high, so high that it seemed certain 1t must drop into Cobbs hands, as that fielder was playing well back as result of previous experiences with Tinker. But there was an unusual amount of energy behind the hit and it sailed high and clear into the stand in right field. Tinker, preceded by Hoffman, trotted around the circuit amidst the first real cheering of the game Horns were blown, bells rung and throats strained to increase the ova- tion. Manager Jennings sought to per- suade Umpire Klem that the hit should go for only two bases, but klem only smiled Such have always gone for home runs. The ground rules provided that hits into the overflow crowd should restrict the runner to two bases, but this cer- tainly had nothing to do with that tre- mendous wallop of Tinkers
 The application of the rule was illus trated by the next man at bat, John Kling. King drove the first ball pitched into the overflow crowd in left field and stopped running when he had reached second base. This onslaught had affected Donovan, but he still smiled, and re- tired Overall on a weak grounder. He went to pieces, however, when Sheckard, the next batsman, singled over second and scored Kling. The whole team, in fact, seemed to be stunned by the sud- denness of it all. Sheckard made a des- perate steal of second and went to third on Evers' safe bunt. Rossman, in mo- ment of absent-mindness, brought about by the general catastrophe which had happened to Detroit's aspirations, allowed Evers to flash away from first and reach second standing up while the ball remain ed in the first baseman's hands. Schulte tripled to deep left center, scoring Sheck- ard and Evers. Then, to finish matters up, Donovan threw a wild pitch and Schulte trotted across the plate with Chi cago's sixth and last run. Chance walked and stole second while Schmidt was mus ing over the ball on Detrolts sudden fall in fortune, but Steinfeldt flew out, re- tiring the side.
 Detroit substituted D. Jones for O'Leary for a final try for victory, and the sub stitute was given his base on balls. He went to second on Crawford's out and scored when Cobb singled to center. Ross man, however hit into a double play and the game was over.
 Attendance Cut Down.
 The attendance, due largely to the chilly weather, was only 17760 paid admissions, according to official figures made public after the agme. The gross receipts were $26 967.
