who batted so strenuously yesterday. came
to the bat and hunted. The ball rolled
steadily towards Brown, who rushed up on
1t and without even looking at first, shot
it on a line to third just in time to force
o'Leary out.
Crawford Goes to sleep.
Crawford. who had taken second on the
play, is known locally as the "old reliable"
1t is said Of him that he may be depended
on to do the right thing at the right time
almost invariably. Taking a lead off from
second the "old reliable" for once in his
life did the wrong thing at the wrong time.
He chose this occasion TO refresh himself
with the traditional forty winks.' This
was some five winks too many. Killing OBJ
served the runners somnolent expression
and the violent efforts of Joseph Tinker to
attract attention without making a noise.
The Chicago backstop swung his arm pow
erfully and the ball shot down to Tinker on
q line, rudely disturbing the rest of Mr..
Crawford, spelling Detroit's only chance
to score. and perceptibly depressing the
spirits Of the spectators. Crawford re-
tired to the bench very crestfallen, for
where there had been men on bases with
an excellent chance of scoring there now
were two out with only Cobb on first.
Cobb started to steal second at the same
time that Umpire Connolly called a third
strike on Rossman. Presumably Killing did
not hear what the umpire said, for he threw
to Evers and Umpire KLEIN called Cobb out.
The play. however, did not count. as Ross
man had already made the third out. In
the fifth inning Coughlin was hit by a
pitched ball, but got no further than first.
In the sixth O'Leary got his second single,
but was Immediately doubled. In the next
three innings Detroit went out one, two,
three.
Great Work by Brown.
The pitching Of Brown was clearly up to
his usual standard. His only wildness was
in hitting Coughlin. He allowed only four
hits, two of which went to O'Leary and two
to Crawford, one Of the ~latter's being a
double. He struck out four men, besides
accepting four fielding chances In perfect
style.
While the crowd today was larger than
that which turned out to view the opening
struggle, 1t was not so large as had been
expected in view of Detroit's victory yes
terday. The turnstiles registered 70, 907 paid
admissions, from which the gross receipts
were SIS, 231. The ground Immediately in
front of the grandstand was still muddy
from Saturdays play, but the diamond was
in good condition and the weather was Ideal
for spectators and players alike.
