DETROIT. Mich, July 9.-Three de-
sisions defeated the Nationals in the
second battle in the jungle yesterday,
and today every mothers son of them
is prepared to do or die. They are
desperate when they see even the in
dicator gents passing the good things
to the leaders and leaving them in the
dumps. The final tally was to 5 for
the Jungaleers but it would have been
far different had three decisions gone
the other way.
After TRIPPING in the third Ty Cobb.
the rubberoid base runner, was caught
off third on a quick toss to Conroy,
but Bill Dineen allowed him to live
though he had scrambled in plain sight
of the fans back to the bag, with Con-
roy digging the ball tato his right
shoulder. He scored later on Craw-
ford's fly.
In the fourth when the Nationals
were doing things to the Tiger hurler
Dixie Walker reached third and drew
throw from Stanage. Again Dineen
decided against the struggling Nationals
and Walker was called out. though the
Tiger fans in the stands howled in
derison at the decision.
Decision Cost a Run.
Milan beat out a drive to Moriarty

scored the Alabama Beauty. That de-
Cision cost Us a run. In the eighth

Lelivelt hammered a bingle to center.
Schaefer tried to score from second,
having a good start. He hit the dirt
neatly, and slid under Joe Casey, but
Bull Perrine decided he was out
even as Casey was making the second
stab at him; that cost us a run. Two
runs stolen from US and one given to
the other side would have left the
score in favor of the Nationals So
you may imagine why they are des-
perate today. Davy Jones dashed a
single to center, in the opening ses-
sion and scored when Crawford's double
bumped into the left field bleachers.
