ANOTHER SAD END
. WRECKS NERVES
OF THE BUGS
II This Custom of Tieing IN the
Ninth and Losing i'll the Tenth
Becomes Habitual,
Look Out!
Ralph Works Relieves Willett IN
Final Period and Fails To Close
the Gate on Maps.
BY PAUL n. sRUsKE.

II, in the next game OF this CleVe-
land series the Tigers tie The score
in the ninth and then follow the prect-
dent established in the opening ana
second combats. by allowing the Maps
10 count four ia the tenth, II Is cas-
10 predict that the netting that forms
the front OF the local stand, VIII be
full of gibbering idiots, splitting Ike
SO many demented wildcats.
This business is getting on our
nerves. Once more and yet again the
Maps have turned their apparently
copyrighted trick in that fatal tenth
inning Yesterday there vas hardly
fieeting moment betwiXt the time
Detroit took the field with the score
2 to 2, and the date when the jOvial
Maps were relieving them on the
defense, with the count 20 ?. and the
scalp of Ralph Works adjoining the
crest OF the Cleveland bat bag.
"Daddie" Link, not collie but the
former Columbus left-hander, was
largely TO blame for the defeat sus-
tanned by the Tigers. He seemed an
agile youth. with ability to field his
position to the limit and a studied
Discrimination TO give the Tigers any
thing but the corners OF the plate. His
speed was far from dazzling and no
extended eulogy will ever be merited

q sort OF left-handed Dusty Rhoades
and lived up to his name From the
stand 1t looked as If the Tigers ought
to hit him mile bur they couldn {
often get it ont OF the infield.
Willett Pleases.
Edgar Willett who tWirled the nine
innings of the game, furnished the
fans gratifying exhibition OF strength
and courage, marred only by his
chronic inability TO keep the base run
ners from getting long leads off first
He held the Maps to six hits OF which
three were the veriest scratches and
showed lots OF stuff " He received
grand support from the whole Tiger
team, particularly Tom Jones. Bush
and Cobb, but couple OF ill-timed
bases on balls allowed the Maps to
score one more run than the Tigers
H. the first eight innings.
Tom Jones started the ninth by get
ting pass and this was the Office for
Jennings to call in the reserves.
OLeary was sent in To sacrifice IN
Stanage's place and did SO with neat
ness aud dispatch. Simmons made HIS
inaugural al the bat and struck out.
amid loud means Dayy Jones limped
out to run for Brother Tom" and il
was up TO Mcintyre, who hadn gotten
symptom of a safe hit all day.
Matty delivered in grand style, how
ever, smashing nice drive To center
ION which ID. Jones forgot all about his
charlie horse and came sprintng home
just ahead OF Birmingham throw. AMI
in most approved style
Matty was out stealing and Jennings
gave the Tiges the necessary shift,
sending Davy Jones 10 center field
and Crawford 10 first base. with Works
and Schmidt the new battery.
Ralph Had Speed, But
II is only seemly that tie subse
Quent proceedings be passed over
lightly. Ralph whstled the ball in a.
terrific speed to Bradley who swung
his club in the right spot and singled
