n In Tuesdays pastime at Cleveland
cobb not only did this very stunt IN
more thrilling manner than ever on
ne paths, but he robbed three ei
he Napanese gentlemen Of hits. one
a them being his would-be rival
Iackson, and the other, another
&onld-be. Lajoie. Also, he got into
double play, when he caught Lar

Ty had plenty OF reason TO cnuckie

Iaokson couldn't get q hit until the

and they went for hits because the
fielders couldn't see them. But the
Mans bungled 1--WE times when trying

eame and the Jungiemen ate up
everything that came their way.
And. too, the Maps haven't any pro-
feseional demoralizer OF opposing
hasemen like Tyrus. IL would seem
that after he had the Maps chasing
him An over the field at Bennett Park
with the ball always Just behind him,

same stunt again on Tuesday, but
they did. He tied the score In the
third BY one OF those dashes that sets
everybody on edge.
He singled TO left and stole second.

he was to cover the bag on the throw

ball went bounding, bounding out to

bounding. down to third. Crawford
furnished him transportation home
with long fy to Birmingham.
The Tigers almost deserved to lose
that game I'm the ninth. After plow-
ine along well until the last regular
row, they let the Napmen slip three
fallioe over on them. tying what was
formerly g TO score. Jackson and
Iajoie had the honor OF starting the
rally. and woe 10 those Tiges had they
allowed that bunch 10 break the safe
lead and purioin that game after Jen-
nings had II all locked up tight! The
only hits the two Nap leaders got
came IN that inning, both singles. A
double by Stovall. which no doubt
helped his managerial popularity with
the bunch In the stands. and a pinch
Single by Graney, brought In the three
runs. Graney. got too anxious and
tried Oscars whip. with the usual re-
bulf that he was dashed.
~ But. spectacular as was the Nap
fireworks, the Tigers showed up bet

lance spread farther in the thirteenth.
Tho glow that was Eoticed on the late
sporting extras was but q reflection OF
the light across the lake. Cobb tripled
after Bush had flied out. "wahoo'' had

the Maps prepared to clean things up
with q double. Delehanty, however,
dropped the ball out In left field be-

Cobb trotted home with the first win
