QUEER DOINGS OF THE NINTH
GIVE TIGERS ONE CONTEST

SO vigorously he was fired by Umpire
PeIring. Cobb counted on the balk,
and the 9th r. runners moved, up a
base each. Manning regretted that
first base was unoccupied, so he
peopled the stations again by passing
Bush. Tom Jones walked and Craw'
ford crossed the plate. Schmidt
stopped a pitched ball with his gen.
erous person and Moriarty seeped
over the plate. This marked the re-
tirement OF Manning. and Fisher took
up the hurting burden. Willett hunted
and Bush was out at the plate. Mcln'
tyre hit TO Chase, but Sweeney
dropped his throw and Jones scored.
The Tigers secured undisputed pos
session OF third place by this victory,
and IL also served as another step In
the direction of second. which Is about
the best the Jenningses can hope for
now.
There were other details TO the
game, but what's the use? One In
ming like the ninth ought to be
enough.

President Murphy OF the Chicago
National club, will present to the
Joint schedule committee next winter
a proposition on intersectional trips
which is not without merit as well Us

iious discussion and consideration.
President Murphy's idea Is 10
schedule four intersectional trips, IN
stead of three. as heretofore, with
three games per club on three trips
and two games per club on the fourth
and last trip, The merit OF the limo,

Ledgerwood is most picturesque
