BURNS SHUTS OUT
THE DETROIT TIGERS

the air. turned a fiip-hop and pulled down
a slam from Cobb's bat with his Qn-
gloyed hand that robbed the f1ve-thou-
sand-dollar Tyrus Of sure safety. Shfpke
had two circus stunts. the first when he
ran in for Crawford's hunt. picked it up
with one hand and nipped his man by a
hair at the sack. and the second when he
made four jumps and dive and put his
hit-stea'er in front of singing grounder
from Payne's bat along the third-base
line. Payne's swat carried two-base
ticket. but William Bill was there with a
wonderful throw to Freeman which beat
"Yi-yfs' catcher by one jump. Besides
all this. it is we'll worth mentioning that
not one error. either of omission or COM
mission. was charged against either side.
Locals Good Start.
The Nationals got a good and as it
proved winning start in the first in
ming when the only run of the game came
chasing over the rubber. That lonesome
tally didn't look SO big at first. but as
the pitchers battle progressed. it doomed
up as large as modern fiat building.
After Milan had fouled out to Payne.
Captain Bob Ganley laced a clean single
into right center. Jeems Delehanty then
staggered to the bat. as only Dele
hanty can. and catching one of Sievers
Blenders on the end of his big stick slam
med the ball almost on a line against the
fence in center. field. 1t was a beautiful
hit and as the crack of the ball on the
bat echoed through the stands the crowd
arose to it's feet as if foretold of its des-
Cobb both set sail for the ball and there
was a seconds momentary lull. as both
are wonders in the fielding line. but when
the pair were seen to turn tail and dig
out for the fence a roar as of mighty
waterfall swept through the stands. On
m oh cod md fNyor r.fn nd
like the wind little Ganley was skimmins
around the bases and as it was observed
that he would make home the cheers
were increased. everybody jumping to
their feet and urging on the runner. BY
the time Cobb picked up the ball Ganley
had reached third and from there on 1t
was only a breeze for him.
Delehanty was all grins and smiles at
his splendid swat. but he had to remain
on the second sack while Pickering flied
out to Coughlfn and Warner to Crawford.
In the second inning Freeman started off
with base on balls. but Siever then got
down to work and headed off the remain
ing batsmen without hit. In the third
after Milan had died at first on roller
to Schaeffer. Ganley lined a beautiful
but. like Delehanty. he rested there while
Rossman retired Jim and Pickering.
In the fourth. the locals were given
base on balls and also secured a hit but
neltnef OF these fortunateS got beyond the
first sack. In their last four innings but
one man reached first and that on a gift
of base on balls to Delehanty in the
eighth inning with two out.
For the Tigers. Crawford made clean
single in the first inning to short center:
Coughlin was walked in the second by
Burns. and in the ninth Mcintyre sent
slow bounder over the pitchers head and
beat it out. These were the three and
only men to reach first base during the
nine innings and neither of them got as
far as second.

them all without a wobble or even tre-
NOR. Bill Coughlin has always been con
sidered our favorite third sacker In the
American League. but the veteran GER
tainly suffered yesterday in comparison
with Shipke. The two ringer plays py
Billum bobbed up in the seventh ana
eighth innings. In the former Sam CraW-
ford was the first man up and everybody
knows that the tall barber possesses a
world of speed getting down to first. Sam
laid down a pretty bunt toward third that
little Billum came in on like streak OF
lightning. grabbed the ball with one hand
and threw Samuel out by foot. The
fans were still talking about this play
in the next inning. when Payne slashed
one down the third base line that was full
of tacks. As the throng witnessed the
drive and saw Shipke dive for the -bali.
the greatest hope was that the little rel.
low would stop the sphere and at least
hold the batter on first. But when they
saw Billum come up with that ball and
by a great throw to Freeman head of
Payne by an eyelash every mothers son
Of them jumped to his feet with such ex-
ultant wells that the noise very nearly
parted the heavy clouds overhead ana
brought on rainstorm.
Had the ball gotten past Shipke it would
certainly have gone for double. and
there is no telling what the final outcome
would have been. Billum's other four
chances were of the regulation order. all
of which were taken care Of in the most
finished style. AS usual. Billum failed to
hit the ball yesterday. but he had lots OF
company from both teams.
Manager Jennings gave a good ilustra-
ton yes: erday of the penned up tiger out
at the Zoo. Hughey was in the box next
to the DetrOits' bench but couldn't go on
the field. as his suspension held until to-
day. AS Burns kept moving down the

same time offer suggestions to the play

tie when a runner was on first. and he
also moistened his lips for the XVI
yell. but caught himself in time. To-day
Hughey dons d uniform and will be on
the line urging on his boys to the limit.
Jim Delehanty was strutting around
the Dewey last night like a peacock. and
was naturally elated over his days work.
which had been a big factor in the Ma
tionals' victory. In the first inning he
whipped out tele double that scored the
only run of the game. and in the fourth
inning robbed Ty Cobb of two-bagger
that might have caused untold trouble
with that speedy kid on second base
Cobb caught one of Burns slow ones
sauarely on the nose and shot the ball on
line into right field directly over "Ders"
head. Jim hadn't time to think. but in

1900 fans who journeyed to the ball yard

any one of the nine sessions. But they

five other balls were batted outside the

This record however. should not detract
from the showing of Pitcher Siever, be-
cause he handed up curriers' which would
