Tigers out-Hatted at That.

Yesterday the Senators out-hit the
Tigers by four bases In a light-hitting
game. and yet the Champs scored
twice as many runs. The reason for
the apparent inconsistency was fair-
ly obvious. though.
The Peach was having one OF those
days on which he impresses on the
mind OF the most obtuse the fact that
there is but one Cobb and all imita-
tons are spurious.
Up in the first with men on second
and third and two runs needed TO tie
the score. he slashed into center and
on a line The needed runs prompt
ly sqnirted in and the Tiges were as
good as even again.
Up again In the seventh, Cobb
found Crawford on first and none out.
Instead of sacrificing as the enemy
figured he would surely do, the Peach
blazed away full force. A two-bagger
TO left-center was the result and Craw-
ford came tearing all the way home
with the run that broke the tie.
Cobb turned second and legged IL

Just as the Champs were beaten out
OF their league lead by the onslaughts
OF the Redsox and the Athletics, along
came the chronic tailenders. The Tig-
ers promptly took advantage OF the
idleness OF their rivals and got their
lead back. They may not hold IL In
the remaining games OF the series. 10
be sure, with the Athletics camping at
Cleveland, but they have a better
chance TO do so than with any other
team as opponents.
The Tiges have won two American
league pennants by whipping the sen
ators To a froth. At present they
are working hard to make II three in
a row.
Altogether now:
First in war; first In peace and last
