NOTES OF THE GAME.

Ty Cobb committed robbery on Clyde
Milan in the third He cut in front Of
Sam Crawford Tor a fly. took a flying
leap. grasped the bah. and rolled over.
Crawford stood just behind him and OBJ
served the circus stunt.
The only two errors were exeusable.
Bill Donovan dropped q fly from ing
laub because Bush was over excited.
The shortstop ran in and shouted for a
ball that fell in the pitching box. Dono-
van was so busy chasing Bush away
that he missed the ball In the third
Mcbride booted a grounder from Tom
Jones. Neither error figured in the soor-
ing.
A queer thing was that each Detroit
player made a hit. Jones getting three.
Gessler should have had a single in
the fourth inning. He started a ripping
liner for left field. but Bush leaped and
batted the bali down. He caught it
again before the bali hit the earth.
Cobb had little success against Refs
ling. He had but one hit In the first
inning he famed. missing the ball two
feet.
Bush stopped Lelivelt's grounder over
second in the sixth. but could not re-
cover in time to make a good throw.
Tho ball struck the ground in front of
T. Jones and he failed 10 field it. but
Lelilvelt was there ahead OF the throw,
anyhow.
Donovan's single in the sixth was on
a slow-pitched ball that Reisling used as
a starter.
Casey, who subbed for Schmidt In the
latter part Of the game, poked a two
baser over the first base sack. II was
one Of the hardest-hit balls OF the game
O'Leary stuck to second in that in
ming when Schmidt got his two-base hit
he ran only after the ball fell, and so
got as far as third. It looked certain
that Milan could make the catch. but
the ball rolled away,
A grand opportunitye went to waste in
the sixth. Lelivelt singled. Conroy fam
ned, and Gessler walked. Mcbride bunt-
ed, and was thrown out. Killifer was
hit by pitched bail. and the bases were
full The best John Henry could pro-
duce was a fly 10 Cobb. John had fine
chance TO become as famous as Pat.
Reisling was quite active In the field.

only three chances, all OF which went 10
Leliyelt.
John Henry made quite an impression
as a first baseman. He had some hard
chances. including a throw straight down

yet he stuck long enough to get the ball.

BY WILLIAM PEEr.

''Stories emanating from New York to
the effect that battery signals are being
tipped of by means of wig-wagging from
the center field fence, or by other meth
DDS. are absolutely untrue" declared Ban
johnson, president of the American
League, when seen by the writer at the
Willard last night.
The league chieftain is taking q swing
around the circuit and spent yesterday
and last night In the Capital Asked II
he had received any complaint or pro-
test from the Chicago club during the
series In New York which closed Tues
day, Mr.. Johnson replied: mo, haven't,
and. Furthermore. I don't expect TO re-
ceive any. The yarn sent out from New
York accusing Manager Stallings OF re-
sorting to signal tipping originated in
the fertile brain OF a baseball writer
with the Chicago team"
In discussing the protest last year when
the Detroit club claimed the New York
ers were tipping OF signals. the big
chief declared emphatically that a rigid
investigation had been instituted, and It
was found that Manager Jennings and
others were mistaken.
NO manager in the American League
would dare try to get away with such
tricks" asserted big Ban He would
be deposed Immediately. We are for
clean baseball first. last. and all the
time, and wish 10 go on record as say
ing that no underhand work is being at
tempted by any manager in our circuit. -
What team do you pick 20 win the
pennant?" Mr.. Johnson was asked.
That's a hard question 10 answer
Philadelphia seems TO be going at a fast
clip. but then you know they Hit up a
stiff pace last year and Detroit came
from behind and won out Both Boston
and New York look like stronger teams
this year than last, and they may have
something 70 say about the champion
ship
what about Washington
i think you've got fine club here. ]
figured they would be much higher at
this time Of the season. and stiIi predict
that they viii finish better than any
Washington club IN years"
Big Ban was in conference with Presl-
dent Tom Noyes and some OF the stock
holders OF the Nationals yesterday after
noon, but nothing for publication was
given out.
President Johnson says that Umpire
Jack Sheridan. who threw up HIS fob in
the Capital two weeks ago, will proba-
bly, never handle the Indicator again. as
bis eyes have gone back on him and
tile specialist who is treating him gives
out little hope for future work on the
diamond.
In Connie Mack's opinion. the American
League race viii develop in the old situa-
ton Of the triangle He believes that the
Athletics. the Jennings tribe. and the
Stailings regiment all have a chance to
capture the banner.
Connie declares himself as follows:
''Detroit's pitchers are going a little bad
right now, bat they'll be back. The Yam
KEGS have an excellent pitching STAFF and
a lot Of young hustlsrs. Ny team IS the
best one I've ever handled. and we're
bound to be in the race all the way"
Garry Hermann thinks Detroit will
land the flag. He figures that when the
stretch is reached the Tigers viii come
through with rush and win by a length.
Detroit every time for NINE" says
Garry.
