HOODOO INNING IS LUCKY
FOR STRUGGLING DETROIT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-The
troublesome times In Washington
came TO an end yesterday afternoon
with battle that lasted so long the
toiling Tigers could not catch the
train they wanted. Detroit 4. Wash
ington 2. 13 innings.
The battle was fine exhibition OF
baseball. punctuated by the retire
ment of Geo. Moriarty and another
jangle with Umpire KERN In which
all hands participated. Morry's BAN
ishment came after KERN refused TO
allow Unglaub to take first after stop
ping a pitched ball with his head, and
reversed his decision. Members of
both teams congregated and Morry
amused himself by tossing his glove
into the air.
Summers pitched grand ball In the
pinches and during much OF the game
choked on runs when a hit or two
would have created great damage.
Gray's wildness had him In trouble
on numerous occasions.
In the ninth inning. with the count
one for Washington and none FOR De-
troit. Crawford reached second base
after a forceout and rundown play
and tied the count on a double by
George Moriarty.

BOWLERS HUSTLE
FOR BIG TOURNEY

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 1S.-Although the
mercury was flirting around the 30
mark, local bowlers never gave the
heat a thought. They were hustling
hither and thither trying to raise the
$4,000 which must be raised by Sat
urday morning or else st. Louis will
lose the national bowling congress
AT noon Tuesday II was learned on
good authority that approximately
81 500 worth OF the stock was still un'
sold. with no angel in sight. Hence
all the activity on the part OF the
local alley owners.
Ohicers of the American Bowling
congress Will reach st. Louis Satur-
day morning and go into conference
with the local tournament committee.
Unless the money for the big tourna-
ment at the Coliseum is raised by Sat
urday st. Louis will lose the big show.
That there is little chance OF this
happening Is the opinion OF the bowl
ing wiseacres, however.

YOU CAN LOOK FOR BIG
SHAKEUP OF PLAYERS
in 1911 TIGER RANKS

season well up In the fight, do you
suppose that Magnate Frank Nayin
would have FIVE scouts out TWO
month securing the leagues from
Maine 10 the great Northwest? Not
much he wouldn't Two or three
would have been enough.
There 10 absolutely no occasion
for Detroit fans feeling sad over
the Tigers showing this year.
Good baseball has been played
and the games at Bennett Park
have been full Of hitting, scoring
and the other things which go to
make up interesting contests.
The favorites simply have been
outcIassed by company OF
younger, moro active men and
the Athletics have developed
while the others stood still.
There is a deal OF sadness In con
templating the decline OF a nrst-ciass
tall player. The man who has been
out there year after year bringing
success TO his club and making the
name OF the city he represents oy'
word in every town In the United
States commands a place In the al
fections Of the populace not enjoyed
by the milkman, the janitor or even
the policeman. IT'S grand thing TO
be a big league ball player. TO receive
the plaudits and the twice-a-month
salary check written In at least three
figures.
There's a whole flock Of young Eel
lows coming TO join the Detroit club.
Some will report at the close of the
leagues in which they are working;
others will not be on hand until the
training trip next spring and some
may not como at all. The magnates
have spent something like 100000
lust for a look at these men, TO say
nothing of the amounts expended for
purchasing contracts. IL enough
good fortune Is present 10 make II
possible Detroit will have a fourth
pernant In 1911.
We know and you know there Is
need of strengthening in certain
positions IL another flag is to come
here. Just what positions need new
men is for Manager Hugh Jennings
to decide. We have our opinions as
to who Is slipping and who has slip
ned. and you probably have yours
That's a big part OF the fun Of base
ball. Nj. Jennings has his ideas, ana
his VIII go.
The Tigers will be home all the
month of September The Tigers are
n good ball ciut--the Athletics are
better. The man who likes the Ma
tional pastime will see some good
stuff at Bennett Park next month.

TIL elong delayed football code has
been made public at last.
For one thing the time for play is
divided into four periods of Is min
utes' duration instead of the ira
ditional two halves OF 35 minutes
each The usual intermission OF Is
10 minutes is maintained between the
second and third periods. but an inter
mission OF three minutes only is al
lowed between the first and second
and third and fourth periods. During
this short intermission no player will
be allowed to leave the field nor will
any one be permitted TO come on
the field save only the individual who
looks after the physical condition OF
the players.
At the beginning OF the second and
fourth periods the teams change
goals, but the down, the relative spot
on the down, and possession OF the
ball and the distance to be gained re-
main as they were at the conclusion
OF the preceding period OF play.
Another radical change is that gov
erning the flying tackle. This has
been entirely eliminated by a new
ruling which provides that player
must have one foot at least on the
ground when tackling an opponent.
The new legislation governing the
forward pass, which number OF ex-
perts were inclined to abolish alto
gether. will materially alter the play
and aspect OF the game.
This years rules provide that a
player is only qualified to receive a
forward pass who is at least one yard
back Of his own line of scrimmage or
occupies the position on the end CT
said line. No man may make FOR
ward mass or kick the ball unless he
is five yards back of the line OF scTim-
mage.
