Though there have been numerous

few years, no change is apparent IN the
system of play employed. With the Maps
it seems to be the same old story OF
every man trying to safeguard his bat
ting average regardless Of what the out
come Of the game may be. and yester-
davis game furnished perfect fllustra-
ton of why that team is down In the
race.
Not once during the nine innings did
the visitors make an effort to sacrifice,
and to this no doubt can be attributed
their defeat.
In the very opening round the first
man up hit safely, but Olson did not try
to move him up. but hit into double
play. In the third inning the first two
up hit safely. but no effort was made to
sacrifice, though the batter succeeded
in advancing the runner. In the fourth
the first man hit safely, but Stoyall.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-The Phila-

marred by a renewal of the Baker-Cobb
feud which created such a disturbance
during the 1903 season. Only the prompt
acton of the police and several Detroit
players prevented a riot with possible
injury to Tyrus after the game when
several thousand ''hoodlums'' thought 1t
very heroic TO charge the lone Tiger.
i Baker and Cobb had a quiet little
quarrel at third base during the eighth
inning Cobb came back to the sack
after a throw. there and Baker for some
reason made a vicious stab at Tvs leg
at him: They appeared to be ready to
exchange blows. But Umpire Sheridan
and several players quieted the angry
players and the game proceeded
Tyrus happened to be the Detroit
player to make the final put out. Collins

fore he reached second base the mob
had swarmed on the field and surrounded
him. The police managed to get Ty TO
the bench and then after hard night TO
the taxicab waiting for him outside the
park Again il was fortunate for the
good name of Philadelphia that nothing
serious occurred To show their dis
approval of the actions Of the mob on the
field the better class of patrons in the
grandstand applauded Cobb generously
as he walked to the bench.
There was every reason for the crowd
