The Red Sox tried the hit-and run
play in the fourth. but IL went TO the
bad. Hooper was on first and Speak

the next station. Mullin pitched OUT,
Speaker threw his bat at the ball and
StEnage made perfect throw that
turned Hooper back 10 feet. The play
at second wasn't even close.
Ty Cobb evidently didn't intend let
ting his rival, iris Speaker, capture
all the fielding glory. In the fourth
inning with one on base he retired the
side and saved two runs by great
catch Of Lewis liner between left and
center Cobb cut across for the ball

speed caught II Lewis already had one
home run and when this hit started It
looked like a second.
The prize play OF the day was con-
