WINS OVER LEAGUE
TRA|LERs COUNT
JUST As MUCH
For That Reason There Is No Mercy
In the Hearts of the Savage
Tigers When Facing

Railroad Man Takes Fall Out OF Can

Il Moving Down Batters.
BY PAUL n. BRUskE.

another game yesterday and today are
endeavoring TO make 1t a string OF
four straight.
There Is no mercy In the hearts OF
:, the tribe OF Jennings. It's too bad 10
see an aggregation like Washington
subjected to q daily massacre, 10 be
sure but the Tigers need those games
from the standpoint OF the percent
ages and they count just as favUraofy
as II they were victories over one OF
their ancient foes.
The game was really won before IL
ever began.
AS From the moment George Mullins
burly form was seen TO emerge from
the Tigers grotto and start warming
ND. Il was all over but the shouting.
Though the score was close for a
while In the early stages, Washington
being actually ahead for few min
utes, the fact that the undefeated
mammoth was on the slab, pitching
his hardest. and batting like a demon
whenever he got chance, had vast
moral as well as material effect.
II wasn't In that Washington crowd
to trim big George and they knew
Il as well as he.
The score can be observed In an
other column. along with the statisti'
cal record OF the doughty deeds lead
ing thereto.
Charivarl for Groom.
What happened to Mr.. Groom recalls
the singular misfortunes OF his near
relative Mr.. Younghusband. as set
forth In the comic prints. The Wash
ington sacrifice got away without be-
A. L. olox .,s.1 has
at which the Georgia Peach got in
his almost daily stunt of putting vet
eran infield up in the air.
Cobb bounced one over the lofty
bean OF Mr.. Groom and beat Dele
hanty's throw in his own copyrighted
style. Regardless OF the highly es-
teemed cunning ability OF Mr.. Street.
Tyrus promptly stole second. Work
ing according to carefully arranged
concert with Mr.. Moriarty at bat, Cobb
then tore for third. Unglaub ran over
to cover the sack. Moriarty tapped
the ball to the position left vacant by
Unglaub. In full view of the paid at
tendance, Mr.. Mcbride rushed over to
intercept Mr.. Moriarty's offering.
There was no chance for a play at
first. as he readily perceived. The idea
be happening along at that juncture.
Down the line toward second base he
cast his eager eye but saw nothing but
the blue-uniformed draperies of his
own team mates. The Peach was al
ready roosting on third Accordingly
he handed the ball TO Mr. Groom, hop
ing for better luck The first sight
that met the eyeballs OF the twirler
was Moriarty Logging 1t for second.
The ancient mariner. who found
himself between Scylla and Charybdis
was In a comfortable position, compar-
ed to that of Mr.. Groom. II he heav-
ed the ball to second. Cobb would
score. IL he hurled to the plate, Mo-
riarty would reach second in safety
and Cobb would give him the laugh.
Quite wisely he held the ball.
Mr.. Groom's sang froid was serious
ly shaken. He passed OLeary and
the sacks were full.
Appeared Herman Schaefer, the Tig.
ers' doughty field leader who smash
ed over second. Cobb scoring. Nc
Bride made nice stop and tossed TO
Delehanty. OLeary wrapped his hooks
around the ball as he slid In and paw
ed II out of Delehanty's hands. Mo-
riarty dashed across the plate

The brainstorm now became gen.
eral. Schmidt struck out, but Street
dropped the ball. With first and sec
ond occupied. the batter was out any
how. but he ran and drew throw.
the other runners advancing.
Appeared G. Mullin, who soused a
lallapalloosa into right field, Schaefer
and O'Leary tumbling across the pan.
Immediately thereafter Mullin nego
tiated a clean-cut, stand-up steal OF
second base unassisted by mechanical
8 methods or mustache to deceive.
While he was preparing to pifer third
the side was unfortunately retired.
Sundry other runs were secured at
various stages, but only one OF these
was necessary to a win.
The reinstatement OF Manager Joe
Cantilion, of the Washington club, was
the occasion Of great joy in the bleach
ers. At times sundry OF the visiting
athletes would get TO first base. Such
opportunities were embraced by the
visiting magnate to get out on the
line and deliver strident, laborious dl.
rectioIs.
Heads up" Joe would yell. BE
awake! Be alivel Come back! Lead
on Look out! Whoa Get ready
Now" These and other directions
would be handled the obfuscated run

taliation. No sooner would Joe walk

road man would cut loose.
"Come ahead" he would yell In per.

Back up! Make your coupling! Come
ahead slow Swing your light! Make
a switch, Stop Set your brakes"
Under such n stream OF parody as
this, Mr.. Cantillon was rendered sim
ply speechiess. In the closing innings
ne had absolutely nothing to say. His
favorite gun was spiked and he could
only gurgle In sad undertone.
