at this stage of the game. was pounded

He was little better than Gleason in

Ritter. the box artist who delivered the

Victory.

With three large and ornate knots dec
Grating its caudal appendage, and bearing
q much chastened expression on its coun-

after one of the most sanguinary series
in the present chase for the American
League pennant, for Marse Joes boys
again administered a trouncing to the
Detroit champs yesterday to the tune of
two runs to one, and thus made it three
games out of four.
Even then the merest accident enabled
the league leaders to avoid shutout.
their one run being directly attributable
to the only passed ball Charley Street has
had charged against his account on the
home grounds this season. That wobble
came in the third round after two were
out. but 1t was sufficient to allow Bush
to amble across the pan from the third
sack. At no stage of the game thereafter
were the Tigers at all dangerous, as
Walter Johnson kept sending them over
at express-train speed. and only widely
scattered hits resulted during the re-
mainder of the game.
Detroit's one run doomed large on the
horizon until the lucky seventh, when the
locals tied things up. "Jiggs'' Donohue
opened this inning with a safe drive into
left field. was sacrificed to second by
Milan and dented the pan when Unglaub' 8
clout struck just inside the foul line back
OF third and rolled far into left field.
Willetts Weakened.
Altogether. the route mapped out by
Manager Jennings for Pitcher Willetts
seemed trife too long after the five
inning game in which the Detroit twirler
worked Monday. He was going at his
best and holding the locals safe at all
stages until the seventh inning, but this
round. in combination with the eighth in
ming, proved his undoing.
Only three safeties had been made off
his delivery prior to the seventh. but
after the locals had tied the score in
that inning it was evident that Willetts
was rapidly weakening when he permit

but the attempt to add more runs to
Washington's total came to naught when
Moriarity jumped fourteen feet in the
air. knocked down Milan's prospective
double and beat the youngster to first
base with the ball.
Crawford a Hitter.
Crawford was the only tiger who SEEM
ed able to solve Johnsons delivery with
any degree of certainty, and his second

materially toward the Tigers only run.
On his first time up Crawford put dent
in the center-field fence. and his second
hit went into deep right field behind the
bleachers. This latter drive came when
two were out and after Bush had reached
first on a scratch infield hit. Johnson
filled the sacks by passing Ty Cobb, and
then Streets passed ball got in its dead
ly work.
Cobb was on second and Crawford on
third when the former took long
lead to draw throw, and johnson turn
ed and threw the ball to Mcbride. Craw-
ford started for home, and was being
run to earth by Street when he threw
up his hand and knocked the ball into
left field and was declared out for in
reference.
There were still some anxious moments
for the fans in the ninth inning, because
the locals were only one run to the coed

drive to center field. Moriarity's effort
to sacrifice developed into a pop fly,
which Donohue corralled. Davy Jones.
