the grounds Egan was thanked on all
sides by bowling mob, and a corps Of
policemen seemed to think it necessary
to give the little man the moral support
of their near presence.
Besides President Bans importation
from the Western Association the one
other man to stand too brightly illumined
in the glare of the calcium was George
Mcbride. Usually eating 'em up alive
right off the enemy's bats, and until yes
terday baskfng on the sunny side of a
record of eighty assists without slip
the versatile George had a bad case of
oiled digits throughout the game. In the
third inning he fooled an easy one off
McIntyre's bat. with the result that
Schaefer, who would have been an easy
out at first. was left perched on the
sack when Long Tom pinched Matty at
second. Schaefer. who would have been
the second out, moved to third on Craw-
ford's single, and both scored on Cobb's
triple. The net result of this little slam
fest would have been one run under or
binary circumstances, but Hughes was
forced to pass Rossman in the emergency
and Schmidts fly to Ganley. according to
Mr. Egan, scored Cyrus. Kahoe took up
the receiving end when Street was chased
to the clubhouse.
Street to the Rescue.
The Nationals got their first runs in
the second. Unglaub began proceedings
with hard drive at Rossman and beat
Summers to the bag. He moved up when
Clymer drew a pass, but died at third
on Freeman's attempted sacrifice. Nc
Bride fouled out to Coughlin. but Charlie
Street came to the rescue with a screamer
up on third, whence he scored a moment
at wild pitch which landed against the
grandstand. Tom chased to second on
chickering's hard bounder to Coughlin,
and both would have been safe if Egan's
eye had been as unerring as the camera
lens. Instead of having two on bases
and in the midst of a batting rally Egan's
poor decision retired the side.
Mcintyre started trouble again in the
seventh with, clean single to center.
Schaefer sacrificed him along, and he
scored on Crawford'S single into Clymer's
territory. Crawford was caught too far
off first, when Otis made quick return
to jeremiah Freeman. and Cobb ended
the inning by trying to stretch double

Tannehill batted for Hughes in the
seventh after Mcbride had singled and
Mike Kahoe had expired on three whiffs.
but the best he could do was to lay
down an easy roller to Summers. Pick
ering tied things up, however. with a
line drive which Crawford could not re-
turn in time to nip Mcbride. But Pick
suffered again at Egan's hands when he
pilfered second, only to have the umpire
fail to see Schaefer drop Schmidts throw.
Tigers Break Tie.
Detroit broke the tie In their half Of
the eighth. when Gates took Hughes
place, and Rossman. the first man up,
| slammed the first ball pitched for three
sacks. George Mcbride was charged with
| his second error on a poor relay of Pick
ering's throw, the ball bounding among
| the Detroit players and the spectators
who were lined up against the stand, so
| that Egan waved kossman home.
Schmidt, the second batter to face Gates,
drove a single into center, and then
johnson was sent to the mound. He
| struck ont Coughlin and Summers, while
| the best O'Leary could do with his deliv-
| cry was to pop out to Mcbride.
| Mcbride had his third slip in the ninth,
and II. too. cost a run. Mcintyre sin

| trying to sacrifice had gone out on a foul
| to Kahoe. Then Crawford sent one into
| Georges vicinity, but the versatile one
misjudged the bound and the ball rolled
into left, Mcintyre prancing across the
