Hughey Jennings and his band of hum

fretted through eight innings at American
League park yesterday and then hnaily
satisfied their appetites for base hits In
the ninth with a pair of singles and

came over the plate and Washington had

credit. At the start of the game II ap-
peared as though the Detroits would
surely score one or more runs. but reck-
innings, killed off what chances they had
of getting runners over the plate.
Case Patten was sent to the rubber by
Manager Cantillon. as he has frequently
been a great puzzle to the Detroits and
although he was hit for two doubles and
FIVE singles in the eight innings they were
SO scattered as to be thrown away. dou-

as luck seemed to be breaking for him.
IL was thought he would pull through, as
not run had been scored In eight IN
nings Then came the woesul ninth WIN
its cluster of hits and the downfall OF
the locals. From the way the Detrolts
went after Patten they evidently believed
the veteran hadn't anything to deceive
them. and as usual in such cases pop MES
and easy chances followed.
Tigers Wasted Hits.
On four different occasions Detroits
first batter up reached the initial corner
in safety and runs looked very promising.
but the third hand would be retired with
out results. This luck couldn't continue
forever, and when Bill Coughin led off
in the ninth with a hot one to left that
Shipke just managed to slightly impede
the prophets quickly told the result.
Payne followed with sacrifice, showing
Bill to second. Thomas was then sent In
TO bat for OLeary, and he sent roller to
Shipke The little fellow thought he could
head off Coughlin at third. but missed
him by hair. Mullin walked to the plate
instead of Summers, and this husky lad
laced clean single into left, and Cough
lin raced home with the tying run. Matty
Mcintyre had been unable to do anything
all afternoon. but, unluckily for washing
ton, this was his time and he responded
with terrific drive to left for two bases,
sending Thomas and Mullin over the rub
Der Schaeffer then hit a roller right at
Mcbride. and. the latter allowed the
ball to so between his legs. Matty walled
over the plate for the fourth and mai run.
Crawford and Cobb closed the inning with
Ilies TO Milan and Pickering
Jennings and his crew acted like a set
of maniacs during the run-scoring. and
one would have thought the world S
championship was being decided. 1t was
certainly a startling finish to a very close
battle. and. coming SO unexpectedly. the
Tigers showed their appreciation of the
victory with general demonstrations of
JOY.
Fred Summers. the celebrated knuckle-
ball pitcher, was on the rubber for De-
troit. and he clearly demonstrated that
he is twirer far above the ordinary.
-Four scattered hits were all the Nationals
could gather off his delivery, and with
proper support he would have scored a
shut-out
Locals Only Run.
In the first inning Milan led off with a
fly TO Crawford, but Ganley did better.

hanty then gave Crawford another fly.

up and doing stealing second by a good
slide Pickering followed with long fly
into left that Mcintyre should have eaten
up. but he played the catch wrongly and
the ball bounded out of his hands. Ganley
trottina over the plate. 1t was in
glorious muff but as Washington scored
on il. the throng greeted the mishap with
cheers and laughter.
From then on 10 the Noeful ninth both
teams battled for victory, but both Sum-
mers and Patten proved too mysterious
for the opposing batsmen and ciphers
went up in regular order. The only time
run looked promising for Washington
was in the sixth. when Clyde Milan
soaked triple to the clubhouse with only
one out. but Ganley and Delehanty could
d. nothing with the 'knuckle ball, the
former popping UP fiy TO Shaeffer, while
the latter gave O'Leary an easy roller
and the little center fielder remained at
third
The fielding back OF the pitchers was OF
the ordinary sort, almost all the chances
offered being easy
