DETROIT, Mich, August 13.-Detroit
Tigers are in a bad way. After taking
that beating from the Athletics they find
themselves "Wee-ahless.'
Jennings is suspended indefinitely and
Donovan is acting manager. David
Jones, who has been playing a great
game, is out with dslocated finger.
Umpire batting has become quite the
rage with the local athletes. They do
not like KERN and are not a bit back
ward in letting Mr.. KERN know about it.
He appreciates that fact to such an ex-
tent that he chased Jennings. Mcintyre
and Schmidt. Each of them stayed over
the time limit and Ban Johnson got a
report about the length of weekly
papers petition against Joe Cannon.
What the portiy Byron Bancroft will do
about it may be known by the time the
Tigers reach Washington Monday after
noon.
Sundays game will start at ! o'clock.
Both teams leave at 3:45 for Washing
ton. The games were scheduled for the
local lot but transferred because Wash
ington came here to play for the benefit
of the EIks last month.
made for that first base job. The last
time the Nationals were in town Henry
was on the initial sack. He may not be
a phenomenal player against any other
CLUB, but he certainly takes on major
league playing airs when he hits Michi-
gan soil.
Elberfeld Is one of the few men who
can successfully stop Cobb on the bases.
The battle between these two is ever
interesting. The Kid put one over Tyrus
this afternooreright in the opening round.
The Dixie Demon hunted toward third
The ball rolled slowly, but Elberfeld
came in like fash, stopped, scooped UP
the ball and threw in the same move
ment. The throw was low and Cobb hit
the turf, but KERN waved him out.
Ainsmith slowed up just long enough in
the first round to prevent Washington
from getting a run. Delehanty booted
the catcher's Srounder and Gray smashed
over McIntyre's head for two bases. Ain
smith stopped al third to see if Mcintyre
caught the ball At that it was only a
perfect relay to the plate that caught
the runner.
Elberfeld made good running catch
of McIntyre's foul to the stands in the
third.
1t remained for Samuel Crawford to
set a new record at Bennett Park. He
is the first man to ever hit ball into
right field bleachers. Sans drive went
far over Gessler's head. took one bound
and dropped over the bleacher wall.
The Nationals missed a scoring oppor-
tunity in the first. Stroud walked Milan,
Elberfeld and Conroy in this inning
Milan stole second. but overslid the bag
and was tagged out by Bush. Kil:fer
popped to Deiehanty. Elberfeld made a
steal of second and Conroy joined

use his left arm because the left shoulder

Clyde was able to do bit IN the hitting

to the bleachers. but not high enough to
clear the wall.
| Take the Tigers word for it that Ain
smith has whip like mig" Clarke. That
is what they said after seeing the gentle
man in action. Cobb tried to steal on
Ainsmith in the sixth and he hurled him
out with ease and grace. He also show

fouls. Gray's slow wind-up was response
