GOTCH WAS TOO SLIPPERY.
Hackenschmidt Says His Body Was
Oiled.

CHICAGO, April 6.-George
Hackenschmidt will shake the dust
of America from his shoes within
three days. Before departing for
Wittig's farm for a day of rest this
morning he engaged passage on the
Lusitania and will sail at once.
Moreover, it is not with k1ndest
feeling toward this country that the
Russian wrestler will depart.
cover here in America they don't
even consider themselves gentle
men," he remarked sadly.
Hackenschmidt is of the convic-
ton that Gotch was oiled in some
way when he first touched him. Said
one of his party:
"He told us before starting that
the moment he placed his hands on
Gotch's wrists he felt how slippery
they were. He thinks that Gotch
was massaged with vaseline or oil
until it was worked well into the
skin and that when he started per
spring it worked out"
Gotch laughed at the idea that he
was oiled and said that he purposely
did little or no training for severa
days to develop the excessive perspt
ration he showed in the ring. This
he said, made him slippery.

!. As in the first two games, yester-
days battle was won and lost in one
great inning. This time 1t was Detroit
that gathered in a cluster of five run
in one frame. Manager Jennings
achieved this result with a change in
his lineup. Downs was relegated to
the bench and Schaefer was shifted to
his regular position It the keystone
sack, Coughlin being detailed to third
bace. Mullin, elected to pitch for De-
troit, was steady throughout the game.
He held the Chicago sluggers to seven
hits and passed only one man. Pfeis-
ter's left-hand shoots, for the most
part, failed to 2 puzzle the Michigan
batsmen. In the sixth ihhing the
Tigers slammed back his offerings for
six hits, netting five runs.
Ty Cobb, idol of the Detroit enthusi-
asts, whose playing was a great disap-
pointment in the 1907 series, came into
his W in this batting feast. His aver
age for the day was 800. Out of five
times up Tyrus hit safely four times,
including a two-bagger. He scored one
run himself an batted in three others.
In one inning the Georgian, after beat
ing out q bunt, stole second and third.
BY that time the foxy Mr.. King con-
clnded that the frisky Mr.. Cobb had
gone about far enough and a lightning
throw from the catcher to Steinfeldt
caught the Southerner off third base,
an inglorious finish to his oapers on
the base paths.

out, O'Leary stung a single past Stein
feldt. He went to second on Crawford's
out and came home on Cobb's single.
The story of Chicago's scoring is not a
long one, although it looked Inc the
fourth inning as though the worlds
champions were going to repeat their
successes of Saturday and Sunday.
After tanning Sheckard for the second
time, Mullin gave Evers his base on
balls in the fourth, and the little sec
ond baseman, being caught off first by
Mullin, raced to second and was safe on
Rossman's high heave. Schultz fouled
out, but Chance singled, scoring Evers.
Chance stole second and crossed the
plate when Coughlin made a bad throw
of Steinfeldt's grounder. Steinfeldt
scored Chicago's third and last run
when Holman tffpled on a line over
Coughlin's head.
The gray-clad Tigers, two runs be-
hind, made a determined stand In the
sixth. The crowd, with the exception
Of q minority from Detroit, which en-
joyed the proceedings hugely, pleaded

| full seventh, drew a pass. Mcintyre
| singled to left and O'Leary laid down
! a neat bunt, which filled the bases, as
| Pfeiser failed to head off Mullin at
third. With lone out, the Michigan
contingent cheered wildly as Crawford
came to bat. The sturdy centre fielder
swung viciously and the resultant
%grounder vas altogether too hot for
| Chance to hold. While Chance was
frantically whirling around, seeking the
ball, Mullin crossed the plate and the
other unner advanced a base each,
leaving every point still occupied by a
Detroit runner.
The leet-footed Cobb beat out his
own hit to Tinker and Mcintyre scored,
the bases still being full, with none
out. Rossman singled to right, scoring
OLeary n Crawford, while COBB
moved up from first to third. Hof-
man captured Schaefer's fly to centre,
and, with a perfect throw, caught Cobb
at the plate on a double play. Thomas'S
two-bagger to right scored Rossman,
but the run-getting carnival was
stopped when Evers threw Coughin
out at first.
The Tigers picked up two more run
in the eighth. Cobb hit to left for two
bases. Rossman beat out a pretty
bunt. Schaefer flied out to right and
Rossman moved up to second on
Schulte's throw to the plate, which
held Cobb at third. Thomas walked,
filling the bases. Cobb scored on
| Coughlin's sacrifice fly to Sheckard.
The last run of the game was regis
tered when Mullin hit safely past
Chance, scoring Rossman. Another
game today.
