| Washington, Sept. 22.-Before the
largest crowd of the season Washing
ton and Detroit split even in yester-
days double header, the first going to
the visitors to 1, while the locals
scored a shut out in the second. to
! O.. Willett and Gray fought it out in
the first round. and the former was
much the better, as he allowed but
two hits, a bunt by Milan and a clean
| drive by Street. Gray was hit safely
! six times, one of the hits being a
! beautiful drive for three bases by
| Bush. A phenomenal catch by Cobb
! in the sixth probably saved the game.
With two on bases and two out, Lee
| livelt hit into short right. 1t appear
| ed as though the ball would surely
fall safe, but Cobb came in on a run,
dived for the ball and, although he
slid along on the side of his face, he
came up with the ball.
Washington's only run developed in
the first inning from a base on balls,
Bush's muff of OLeary's assist and a
wild throw by O'Leary. Detroit's first
run was scored in the sixth. Bush
tripled and, after Cobb had famed,
Crawford singled to left and Bush
scored.
In the ninth a single by d. Jones,
base on balls to Bush, force out by
! Cobb, a pass to Crawford and Mo-
riaritys single sent D. Jones and Cobb
over the rubber
In the second game the Champions
found Walter johnson a great puzzle
and especially when a hit would have
scored runs. Killian allowed three
hits to be punched in one inning.
Washington'S first run came in the
fourth when Milan reached second
on Tom Jones' error. A single by
Unglaub sent him over the rubber.
In the sixth Conroy singled to left
and Milan placed safe fly in right
field. Unglaub flied out to left, but
Gessler singled and Conroy scored.
