Cobb and Wagner.

Cobb has not yet eouaIed Wagner at
the bat. Each has been 70 first four
times. But Wagner has doubled, has
been hit by a pitched ball, and yester-
day twice got to first on errors, while
Cobb has singled and drawn two passes,
and once reached first base by forcing
out a man already there. This leaves
Cobb with only three legitimate arrivals
at the initial corner. Cobb has scored
twice on passes, one Of the runs being
due 10 his wonderful speed in the first
game Wagner tailed after his two
bagger in the first game. Strangely
enough, neither OF these redOubtable
sluggers has lifted a finger in the bat
ting line to help a runner ahead of him.
Cobb is all to the better in base run
ming. He stole second on Friday, and
stole home yesterday Both were dar-
ing. legitimate pliers IN which mis- head
as well as his feet cut a large figure.
Wagner has stolen once, and that was
in the ninth yesterday, when ne was
deliberately allowed to run wild ana
the Tigers played entirely for the bat
ter. Wagner leads in batting, but. all
things considered, Cobb has beer the
more useful player thus far.

Pitchers Compared.


From the time II was certain that De-
troit and Pittsburg would be the con-
tenders, the question of the outcome of
the games has revotved mostly around
the pitchers. Detroit had a good twirler
in Mullin, who was beaten on Friday 10y
Babe Adams, mere youth and little
considered Detroit had another good
pitcher I'm Bill Donovan. and nobody in
the Pirate ranks looked stronger than
Bill. He delivered the goods by winning.
Pittsburg expected TO land one game
with Camnitz, but he was entirely inef-
fective yesterday, and Willis. who sue
ceeded him, did not have IL in him to
keep the Tigers from scoring. II Dono-
van comes back and repeats. and Cam
nitZ is not in form, the Tigers may land
the flag or at least give the Pirates a
scare they will remember. Summers and
Willetts are yet TO be uncorked by De
troit, while the Pirates have up their
sleeves Maddox ana Leifield, with Dea-
con Philippe in reserve.
The Washington times., 1909-10-10
Donovan Foxy.

Another laudable display Of brains
was that by Donovan In the ninth.
Wagner reached first because Tom
Jones stopped his grOUnder with his
shins instead of his glove. Detroit was
five runs TO the good, but the Pirates
are rated as terrors as finishers. That
Wagner was going TO try to steal sec
ond was dead moral certainty, and
Schmidt. Delehanty and Bush prepared
themselves accordingly, but Donovan
had other views.
He was full Of confdenc in himself.
and deliberately motioned the short stop
and second baseman to keep still and
let Wagner run wild. He instructed
them TO field their positions 20 the best
advantage 10 get the batter, and there
by avoid all possibilities Of the hit and
run, which might put two men on bases.
II developed Just as Donovan expected.
Wagner took second without anybody
covering the bag, and took third when
Miller died via Delehanty and Tom
Jones. Absteiu famed. and Wilson flied
