Specafs Dispatch to The Star
DETROIT, Mich, July 13-Although
they lost yesterday to Detroit by their
old hoodoo number of one run. the Ma
tionals played better ball against Jen-
pings' men than they have at any prev1-
Gus time this year.
IL Boston had not annexed the title OF
Speed Boys Washington would stand a
great chance to apply that nickname to
her ball team. They were speedy and
they did what few teams in this league
seem willing to do-took long chances.
Nine attempts to steal were made by
McAleer's men and six of them were
successful These base thefts were not
made against a weak catcher. but against
Stanage, the best backstop Detroit can
offer. and who is regarded as one or the
hest in the league. 1t was the first time
this year that an opposing team mas oeen
able to stack up half a dozen against dig
Oscars throwing arm.
Washington played daring base Dail.
Not for one inning or two. but they went
at the limit.
On offensive play Milan and Schaefer
starred. Clyde hit safely four out OF four
times I'D, and Herman got two hits Eacn
of them stole a pair of bases, and one
of the Nationals scored from double
steal. perfectly worked by Schaefer ana
Kilifer.
The Nationals did not have the oppor-
tunities that Detroit had. They piayeo
good ball and made the best of what was
offered They created opportunities and
got away with them. They outnelded the
Tigers and they outhit and outran them
Base ball luck played against McAleer s
team In the closing inning after they had
the game won to all appearances.
Schaefer had plenty of revenge on his
old teammates. Not alone was he pay
ing havoc with the throwing arm OF
Stanage and the Tiger infielders. but he
pulIed off the fielding feat of the game
when he made leaping catch with his
gloved hand of liner from Cobb'S bat
and thereby robbed Cobb of a perfect
batting average. IT was the only time
he stepped on the plate that Tyrus drew
an at bat credit. He walked three times
and Johnson hit him with pitched ball.
About 1900 of those who saw the game
were visiting Elks. They were pulling for
both teams, but Washington drew the
long end of the applause. The weaker
team was making the best fight, and the
cheering was it's due reward.
Cobb today cleared up the reports which
have been sent from the east charging
that the Georgian and Jennings are on
the outs and that Cobb told Jennings he
would do as he pleased after the man
ager called the player down fer alleged
Indifferent work. Tyrus did not arrive
at Shibe Park in the last Detroit-Phila-
delphia game till the fourth inning, and
this started the reports. The reason Tor
Cobb's hardness was a collection OF per-
forated teeth. He got into dentist

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Defeats such as the Nationals suffered
at Detroit yesterday are the direct re-
suit of bad luck. When a team fields
perfectly and outfits and outplays its
opponents it is pretty tough to have one
long drive cause it's undoing, as was the
case in Detroit.
No matter how brilliant a team may
play if it lacks luck it will not be a
winner The element of luck in base
ball is much greater than the average
follower Of the sport believes it to be. and
there have not been many occasions when
the local team has been blessed with
the good breaks.
1t was asking a good deal of Walter
johnson to send him in against the
Tigers again yesterday. He had pitched
the day before. and while always willing,
johnson does not differ from most pitch
ers and needs a rest between games.
Detroit has been the one team against
which Dolly Gray usually pitches good
ball, and his failure yesterday after his
team had secured a healthy lead, simply
proves that the Nationals southpaw
lacks class. He is not consistent
Improving with experience. 1t does not
seem good policy to figure On Gray as
the teams regular left lander. for In the
two seasons he has been here he has fail
co 10 90 anything ike CoHSStcHt WOIh.
The terms which Jack Johnson dictates
to SamLangford seem to indicate that
he is none too anxious to take on his
colored rival II Johnson wanted to wipe
out all doubt as to his superiority over
Langford he could offer to fight him for
that $4,000 side bet, for no one would
expect him to do the job for any less,
but he not only demands this amount to
be put UP but insists that Langford first
defeat Joe jeanette. 1t is Of course the
privilege Of the champion to name terms,
but the impression Is growing that he Is
ford. On form Johnson figures to beat
Langford, but nevertheless Langford Is
not an easy proposition and there would
be those willing to back him against the
champion and not demand a lot of ODDS
either.
That the promoters of the fight at Reno
should not be unwilling to stage a second
meeting between Jeffries and Johnson is
not to be doubted, for it is hard to figure
fight which would prove more profita-
bic. While perhaps no one should figure
that the result would be any different the
second time they meet from what 1t was
at Reno July f. no doubt 1t would be
another money maker, for the purse
would not have to be anything like as
big as. it was to bring this pair together
the first time.
But it is not at all likely that Jeffries
wants any more fight. He never took
out of it he will most likely spend the
remainder of his days in quiet en- his
farm, though no doubt he is going to De

CLUB DID NOT HAVE

Pitcher Was Released by Norfolk,
But Feels Certain He Can
Make Good Here.
HAD TRIAL WITH
PITTSBURG IN 1908
Discouraged at His Failure to Make
Good in Fast Company, His
Work Suffered.

II is not often that a PLAYER released
by a minor league club is picked up by
major league organiza ton and yet that
is the experience of Big Bill Otey, VINO
is to Join the Nationals at Detroit to-
morrow. Otey was released by Norfolk
few days ago and his plea for trial
with the Nationals was granted. Otey
did not make good for Norfolk this year
He pitched in several games. but was
taken i'll and it was while he was con-
Valescent that he was given his release
But Otey was a great pitcher few years
ago. He was then with Norfolk. Sew
eral major league clubs were after him.
Washington among them. Washington
made an agreement to purchase Otey. but
ii was found later that Pittsburg had
prior claim, having made an agreement
with the president of the club, while that
of the Washington club was with the
manager
The case went to the commission and
PittSburg won the man. He pltched
several games for Pittsburg, but his arm
was weak and he was shipped back to
Norfolk. Not satisfied with his trial in
fast company. Otey became discouraged.
and his work from that time out has not
been very attractive. He has commended
right along however, that if he was given
another chance in fast company he would
show that he could make good. McAleer
has decided TO give him that chance.
Is a. Youngster.
Otey is but twenty-three years old. He
started with Norfolk in 1906, when a mere
boy. In 1907 Otey pitched remarkable ball
for Norfolk and brought the team from
last to first place by his good work. 1t
was while he was showing so much that
the major league clubs went after him.
and Pittsburg finally got Otey. Otey did
not make good with the Pirates for
various reasons, and he was shipped back
to Norfolk after having been used in but
two games. Since then he has played
with Roanoke and Norfolk, but has not
shown his old form. He is big left
handler with considerable speed and,
while not finished fielder of his posi-
tion he manages to hold his own in this
respect.
Not wanting to overlook anything that
will help his ball team. McAleer has sent
for Otey, and will probably work him in
one of the Detroit games if he is fit to
pitch.
