credit, but neither came with anyone
on base. d. Jones, the first man up

the enclosure built around the out
field for the overflow. There was nc
overflow from the permanent stands
and It appeared easy to hit the bali
over the low tense. Sam Crawford
made the other Detroit home run in
the eighth.

prived Pittsburg of the services Of a
brilliant player, Tommy Leach.

while running backward, struck the
low fence. The impact Of his body
smashed the board and he shot over
the fence head first and turned
somersault. The crowd groaned as II

peared to be hurt. After a short de-
lay he returned to mis- place, appar-
rently none the worse
