Summers tho Big Hero.

IL was game III Wnlcn, from Desln'
ming to end, the pitchers were heroes
and the batters were goats. The
Washington twirlers. Gray and Groom
were forced To divide the honors for
their side. but for Detroit. Eddie Sum-
mers hogged them all. For the entire
Is innings he stood out there in the
slab and baffied the Washington bats
men. Fresh from Mt. Clemens. where
he had been taking treatment for n
lame knee and a general lapse in con-
dition. IL was a tremendous task for
an alleged invalid but Summers was
equal to It, IL all probability he Will
never see the day when his curve ball
is breaking better or his fast one com
ing up with a more bewildering jump.
The only time he was hit at all con-
secutively was in the very first Inn
ing and he finished the game as
strong at the end as he was at any OF
the intervening periods
