Drive for the Circuit.

Detroit. Hay lc.-Ray isherE the brilliant
young twirler OF the New oYrk Yankees
was the man TO stop the Detroit Tigers ir
their mad career toward a pennant when
he held them 10 five hits and two runs I'm a
spirited struggle here to-day. The game
ended with the score TO . in favor OF the
New York nine.
Mullen, the hero OF many battles, who
! had a record OF six Victories and no de-
feats. was pitted against Fischer on the
mound, and received sound wallopinG
for the first time this season. the Yankees
pounding out thirteen hits off his delivery
including a triple and two home runs.
Fisher was the man or the hour. lie
brought the heavy hitting Tigers UP snort
with such a jolt that they were scarcely
able 10 conceal their surprise and chagrin.
Even the mighty Cobb and husky Craw-
ford fell down In the pinches, and neither
| got a hit during the game lie made one
Wild pitch and issued one pass. but these
with only five hits. did not afford much
nourshment. AS the game waxed the
youngster grew stronger and stronger, De-
troit going out in order in the last four
innings. The Tigers never had chance
to make a feeble attempt at a rally, and
they went down to their third defeat OF the
season after winning nine straight games.
Hal Chase was able to get one Of his
valuable invalds back in the game. with
Harry Wolter in right field. Hartzell went
back to third and Johnson TO short, the
nine being strengthened appreciably.
Wolter sgnallzed his return by making
three hits, one of these a home run, 10 the
centre field bleachers, in the third inning.
Fisher, too, was not to be outdone, and
he dropped one in the same spot in the
sixth frame. The bags were unoccupied
either time. Every man in the New York
lineup fell upon MulliDss curves for at least
one hit, Daniels and Cree being credited
with two apiece, while Johnson made his
presence felt with triple. Hal Chase
played a great defensive game at first
while Cree was q power for good In left

otherwise. and the whole appearance OF
the team was much improved
The Yankees were the first 20 score when

couple OF outs advanced him to third. and
opened the third with a home run, and
Daniels followed with a single. On Chase's
sacrifice. Bert took second, only 10 trip
across the plate on Hartzells single.
Although Cree forced HartzelI, Birdie stole
second and tailed on Gardeners single TO
left. Johnson's triple at the opening OF the
sixth, Sweeney's sacrifice and Fishers
home run answered for the other two runs.
The Tigers scored in the second frame.
Delehanty led of with an inheld hit, and
Morisrity attempted to sacrifice. lIo was
safe at first, when Fisher threw wild 20
Chase Ness struck out, and Stanage
forced Mortarlty at second. In a try for
double play Johnson threw over Chase's
head and Delehanty tailed. Schaller
