HIGH BALL PITCHING
 A THING OF THE PAST
So Says Addie Joss-Hard to for Bat
 ter to Place the Low Ones.

Addie Joss, baseball pitcher par ex- cellence in the summer time and sporting editor in the off season, is of the opinion that the day of success full high ball pitching is a thing of the past.
 There was a time" said Joss, when it was the accepted theory that one of the requisites of the first class pitch CTS was ability to keep the ball around the batter's neck.
 is trying to pull off the hit and run play. Formerly. when the twirlers kept their fast ball high, it was pie for the batter to either step back or in, as the occasion required. and push or pull in the directoin he wanted it to go. With the low ball it is differ ent, as the batter cannot gauge the ball any too well. and finds it a diffi- cult matter to place it.
 Tt is particularly hard for the bat ter to follow a low ball on a dark day, as was shaw in the second game of the worlds series between New York and the Athletics on the Polo grounds. Chief Bender. who was on the mound for Connie Mack's men, is a pitcher. who, when right, has a tremendous amount of speed. The Athletics man. aged to score few runs for Bender early in the game, and with this lead there was no chance for the Giants to catch up. Bender had the advtange of the gathering gloom, and this, coupled with his ability to keep his fast ball low, proved a stumbling block for the aggressive Giants

THAT COBB ROW.
Detroit Players Version of Trouble
 in Cleveland.

The troubles of Ty Cobb. growing out of that row in Cleveland with hotel watchman, have all been satis- factorily settled, and the attempt to make out of it sensation discredita- ble to Cobb has failed. It was wired from Cleveland on Tuesday that warrant. charging Cobb with assault. that day before Justice William Brown by J. J. Klein, attorney for George Stanfield, night watchman at the Flu cid hotel who, it was said, was as- saulted by the ball player at the ho- tel Saturday.
 Regarding his trouble with the aforesaid watchman, Cobb said:
 T attended a theater Friday night at Cleveland with some members of the Detroit team and after the show had lunch with Vaughn, Glaser and another member of the company. When I returned to the Euclid hotel I found a card asking me to call at a room on the second floor. I couldn't locate the room on the second floor and went up to the third floor and rang for the elevator. ! asked the elevator boy where room so-and-so was. Instead of replying he reversed the lever and started down. I told him then to take me up to the fifth floor, where my room was. He said he would not, and at this moment the night watchman mixed in. I said I wanted the boy to take me to my room and that he refused. The watch man became insulting and l protested that I had never deserved the kind of treatment I was being accorded. The watchman made threats and said could take care of myself at any time As I stepped toward the elevator the watchman followed and struck me in the head from behind. Then I turned around and sailed into him. I had him down on the floor and was punching him when he sunk his finger nails into my eyelids. 1 yelled to him to release his hold on my eyes, but he sank his nails deeper and be- gan clawing me. I pulled out knife and slashed it across his hand. Then he released his hold. As he backed toward the grill room entrance he drew a gun and covered me. Holding the gun in ont hand he walked up and struck me several times with his billy. He asked the clerk who I was and the clerk said he didn't know. Then I went to my room."
 Cobb did not treat the alleged threat of arrest seriously and Manager Jen- nings denounced 1t as "frameup" to keep Cobb out of the game for a time, and thus endanger the Tigers pen nant chances. The club owners. how ever. took a more serious view of the matter and exerted themselves to set tie the trouble in some way.

American Lsssu. Standing.

Philadelphia, Sept 17.-Detroit won the second game of the series with Philadelphia today by 5 to before a crowd of nearly 2S,000 people. Each team made the most of its base hits, Philadelphia scoring all it's runs by punching five safe drives in two inn ings, while Detroit profited by Krauses wildness. None of Mullins four passes did any damage, but four of Detroits %ps were started by bases on balls of a batsman being hit by a pitched ball. In the last two innings the visitors ran the bases with great cleverness and three dou- ble steals were registered by them. Two of these double steals helped to bring runner home. Ten sacrifice hits were made, four of them being of the sacrifice fly variety. Four sacri- flee bunts and three sacrifice flies were made by the Detroit players.
 One hundred policemen were again on the grounds to preserve order, but there was no semblance of rowdyism. The only play over which any objec- tion was made was when Jones of De- troit bunted down the line and threw his arm up to prevent Davis from making a throw to the plate to catch Delehanty. Umpire Perrine called Delehanty out for interference.
 Mcintyre scored for Detroit in the first inning after getting four balls, on Bush's sacrifice, lCobb's safe bunt and Crawford's grounder to Collins. Heitmuller's single. Barry's sacrifice and Bakers single tied the score in Philadelphia's half of the first inn ing. Detroit again took the lead in the third inning, Mcintyre again SCOT ing on four balls, Busf1's sacrifice, Cobb's scratch hit and Crawford's sac rifice fly With. one out in the fourth innin, Jones was hit by a pitched ball, took third on Stanage's single and scored on Mullins sacrifice fly.
 Philadelphia tied the score in the fifth inning by scoring two runs on Thomas double, Krause's safe bunt four balls to Heitmuller. Collins' sac rifice fly and Bakers single. One man was out in the eighth when Crawford got pass and Barry fumbled Dele hanty's grounder. The runners work ed a double steal and Moriarty's sin gle scored Crawford. In the ninth, Me- Intyre and Bush each singled and then worked a double steal, the former scoring on Cobb's sacrifice fly.

LEADERS WILL CLASH.
Westerly at Stoninston in Decisive
 Double Header.

This will be a decisive day in the Rhode Island Connecticut league for the two leading teams. the Stoning- ton champions and Westerly, are pit ted against eac hother for a double header at Stonington. Having the advantage of one game over Westerly Stonington has the odds all in her favor, as the game is on her own grounds and she can afford to lose one of the two games without losing the lead in the race. But Stonington has no idea of allowing Westerly anything in the clash, and will be out to take both games by safe margin, thus establishing her place at the top which shall be out of reach of the rivals in tho league.
 The other league games are also doubfs headers and will provide good sport TOT the day.
 The following is the card for the day in this territory:
 Rhode Island Connecticut League.
 Norwich C. A. c. at Wakefield (two games).
 Westerly at Stonington (two games)
 White Rock at Carolina (two games).
 Connecticut Amateur League.
 Sterling at Plainfield.
