burg $50 for his conduct in yesterday

Police After Cobb
The fining Of Manager Clarke, Glib
son and Leach and Camnitz for their
action in Mondays game makes SIX
fines that have been inflicted during
the last two games.
Ty Cobb, the star right fielder OF
the Detroit team, did not accompany
his teammates on the national commits
sion's special last night, because OF ms
desire to avoid Cleveland.
Manager Jennings Of Detroit re-
ceived information yesterday that the
Cleveland authorities intended to ar
rest Cobb as he passed through. Copp
had trouble with a hotel watchman
in Cleveland recently, and it was re-
ported that an indictment for feloni-
Gus assault had been brought against
him by the grand jury. COBB came
from Detroit to Pittsburg by way OF
Buffalo, and did not arrive until long
after his teammates.
Clarke's Home Run
A home run by Manager Fred
Clarke, which scored Byrne and Leach
in front of him, turned the tide of vic
tory to Pittsburg in the seventh IN
ming after Detroit had tied the score
at 8 to 8 by scoring two in the sixth.
Detroit had two home runs to its
credit, but neither came with any one
on bases. D. Jones, the first man up
in the first inning, hit the ball into
the enclosure which had been built
around the outfield for the overflow.
Sam Crawford made the other De-
Tommy Leach. Leach chased Craw-
ford's home run nearly deprived Pitts
burg Of the services of the brilliant
Tommy Leach. Leoch chased Craw-
ford's long hit, and whiel running
backward at a good clip, struck the
low fence. The impact smashed the
boards and he shot over the fence
head first A groan went up from the
crowd as it appeared impossible for
the little center fielder to escape in
jury After short delay he returned
to his ploce, apparently none the worse
for his spectacular mishap
Charles Adams of Pittsburg achieved
the distinction of being the only pitch
er to win twice in the series by an
nexing today's game. Adams clearly
outpitched Summers, who worked the
first seven innings for Detroit, but he
was lucky in having the team behind
him hitting, as he allowed the loser
four runs. Adams allowed six hits
two home runs, two two-baggers, and
two singles-while Summers was hit
safely ten times, including one home
run and a double.
Tigers Tie in Sixth
Davy Jones' home run gave Detroit
run in the first, but Pittsburg i'm
mediately tied the score because Sum-
mers gave a base on balls with the
bases full. A wild pitch by Summers
allowed the second Pittsburg run to
score in the second and another came
n
/ in Pittsburgs favor until the sixth
when Detroit punched a single and a
two-bagger, and aided by Wagner's
costly bad throw, scored two runs
Then came Clarke's home run in the
seventh and the National leaguers as
sumed a commanding lead. Each team
scored one more in the eighth inning
Wganer had a bad day in the field
making two errors in five chances
His first nisplay was a bad throw OF
Delehanty's grounder in the sixth, and
st allowed Crawford to score from sec
ond. His other error was a muff oi
Tom Jones' pop fly into short left in
the ninth. At bat, Wagner made one
hit in four times up but reached frs
three times. The first time he drew
a base on balls but was left on second
and in the third he singled to left
but was on third when the inning wa,
ended. In the fifth he was an easy out
ana III the seventh ne was nit IN tle
pack by a pitched ball. He dropped
to the ground and was evidently II
great pain but he soon re-endeavoret
and trotted to first base.
