injury. was forced TO dress and take
the vacant place al second.
Frerch lives in Ohio and he left for
home last night This IS the second
hard setback that Charlie has received

HUGHES TEACHING

Pitcher Saved His Game in Wash
ington Yesterday Because He
Has Learned Lot About
Fielding.
Ty Cobb, Latest Of Long Line OF
Democrats, Sustains Severe Shak-
ing of Party Loyalty.
BY PAUL Il. eRuskE.

Just because, for the last three
years. Hughie Jennings has stuck TO
1t that he could teach Edgar Whilst
to field his position and has kept
spending many weary hour out back
of Edgar as he pitched 10 the practice
hitters, instructing him in the fine arts
of his job. the Tigers broke their los
ing streak at Washington yesterday
and won an abbreviated l 10 0 game,
ended by rain at the close OF the nth,
with the Tigers just narrowly escaping
tied result.
Not that Edgar is as yet a finished
fielder OF his position, such as killian,

ans; he has still TO learn a short

1908 in the box would. in all proba-
bility, nave been a defeat.
The Usual Problem.
When Willett joined the Tigers he
was obsessed Of the usual idea of the
bush-ieague twirler that IL was his
duty to sling the ball and the duty OF
his mates TO take care OF il when the
foe happened TO connect with his deliy-
cry.
Edgar covered first base on occa-
sions. but regarded this duty as mere
" bit of gratuitous pyrotechnics.
Bunts were the province OF the third
baseman. If the second baseman
and shortstop didn't field those slow
teasing grounders OF 10 one side cf
the pitchers box. they deserved a call
down.
These views were earnestly COM
batted by Manager Jennings and the
Detroit infielders, each in his own
characteristic way. Edgar was put
on the firing line whenever the team I
was at home and taking morning prac-
tice. For weeks at time he would /

him up was an arduous one.
Tiges Hit Gray a Bit.

The Tigers gave him a run 10 work

safely, advancing on Bush's sacrifice,
and scoring on Crawfords screaming |
drive. Then Gray frightened up and, t
although the Tigers were batting with 1
pleasing regularity. there was nothing
doing in the scoring line.
II was up to Edgar TO make good by
shutting the opponents out until the
arrival of the dark clouds that had
been steadily piling up on the horizon.
