LOSERS FIELDING
LACKS BRAIN WORK
Street Benched for Inexcusable
Lapse-Tyrus Cobb Again in
the Limelight.

The battle OF the Benedict in De-
troit yesterday failed TO throw any
light on the question which is troubling
certain Western writer's concerning the
effects OF the connubial tie on bail play
ers.
Long Tom Hughes, who recently an
neXed a bride. failed to produce the
goods for nine innings, and the Detroit
Tigers chalked up another victory over
the Nationals by 5 TO 2
But the leading argument for the pro-
cupid advocates was TyFus Cobb. who
put up a brilliant exhibition along var
ious lines. It's true. one error is charg-
ed against him, and that was on
difficult chance. which he and Downs
quibbled over until 1t was too late for
either 10 bag the fly.
The Nationals played q much better
game in the field than on the day be-
fore. as far as mechanical work was
concerned. But a series of shining ex-
amples OF poor judgment robbed them
OF much credit IN this department.
Street was taken out for making a bone
head play that cost a run.
Credit to Summers.
The real credit for the victory belongs
TO Summers. kiliian was decidedly off
form. and had he stayed in the game
the National should have come out 10
the good, But the substitution of the
Kiekapoo youngster IN the fifth was a
rare stroke Of genius and from that
time on the visitors we're held safe.
Washington gained lead Of two runs
in the first. The commandment was
opened by Ganley's scratch hit 10 right,
after Shipke drew a pass. UnblaUh
flied, but Freeman slashed out
screecher along the line OF Ganley's at
tempt far enough for three bags, and
scored both men. After that, although
Washington never scored, the bases
were filled twice. This happened for the
first time in the second. Street singled,
Mcbride and Hughes We're out, while
Mason walked. Shipke tapped out a
grounder to Schafer, who threw too late
70 force Milan. Street reached third on
the play, and thinking Milan out am
bled toward the plate. When Milan was
called safe, Street was easy out, Downs
10 Thomas. Ganley was the next man
up, and had Street held his base the Ma
fiOnals would have had a promising
chance TO pull out Of the ruCk.
Detroit by a fusillade OF bingles in the
second tied the score, and in the third
Crawford's double followed by saCrl-
fices by Cobb and ROssman, tailed an
other run.

Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison-The Wisconsin Anti-Pro-

Wisconsin, one hundred and twenty
delegates attended and about 80 ad-
ditional cities sent delegates. There

present Mayor Becker made the ad-
dress of welcome to the visiting dele
gates and was followed by an address
by William IT. Austin, who spoke on
conditions as they really exist through
out the state and country and dis.
cussod the evils of prohibition in gen
eral and said that it had not proved
successful. The convention then took
up the work on adopting a constitu.
tion and bylaws. Although no definite
plans had been made, there was q
second business session in addition To
the regular meetings. The purpose
of the new association is to fight pro
hibition in all of its forms and to put
the prohibitionistS on the defensive
instead of being in that position them
selves. as has been the case in the
past. The association worked on the
theory that prohibition does not pro
hibit, and base this conclusion on the
prohibition movement in the south.
