Dolly Gray, who established a record
by holding the Tigers to one lonesome
hit in the recent eighteen-inning tie in
Detroit and who more recently

From the very beginning of hoStilities

leather entirely too freely. Seven hits
Were made off Gray in five and one-third
innings. and these, with the assistance of
one base on balls and errors by Schaefet
and Milan, brought home three Detroit
runs. None was out. and one run had
been scored and runner was on second
in the sixth inning when distress signals
brought Groom from the clubhouse-and
thereafter there was nothing doing in the
way of Detroit scores. Three lonesome
and widely scattered hits We're made off
Groom. and the only chance for a run
for Hughey's nustlers was in the eighth
inning when base on balls to Crawford,
a stolen base and hit by Moriari'y

second inning, when a base on balls TO
Delehanty and intield hits by Moriarty
and Beckendorf filled the bases with only
1ne down, but fast double play off Will

smothered the chance.
More trouble for Dolly came in the
third round, when he gave free ride TO
Jones and Cobb made a ripping drive into
right garden for two sacks, sending Jones
to third. The infield was playing on the
green and the precaution should have

Street by Donohue moved down the
nimble Georgian.
Crawford opened the sixth session with
a safe rap to left and Rossman followed
:
Milan let the ball get past him as it

Hits Were Timely.
During the first three innings Willetts
seemed to have the Cantillonites at his
mercy, but in the fourth the locals ham
mered home two tallies. and Conroy was
in the act of registering a third when
Jones' perfect throw off Mian's single
