By WILLIAM PEET.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb, Detroit's demon
ball player, was responsible for the Ma
tionals' downfall in the concrete COLI
scum yesterday afternoon in the third
of the Tiger series.
Jennings Jungaleers snatched the big
end of a 9 to score, and utilized Tom
Hughes and Dolly Gray as stepping
stones to fatten up their batting aver
ages. Hughes retired after the sixth, as
the bombardment showed no signs of
letting up. Dolly Gray finished the game
and yielded a couple of runs.
Wild Bill Donovan did the honors for
the visiting tribe, and he, too, was
rumpled up in an emphatic manner, but
the Nationals thirteen Swats only scored
five runs. Donovan has a beastly habit
of trimming this Washington club almost
every time he goes into the box. If
the Nationals manage to hit HIS offer
ings to any great extent, the Tigers usu-
ally wallop our twirlers little bit hard
Cr such was the case yesterday.
Ty Cobb's work. both in the field
and at the bat. was sensational
Taking care of ten chances in center,
just two less than the worlds record,
Cobb alone saved more than three runs.
Ty's catch of Henrys line drive in the
third was one Of the greatest ever seen
here.
Not alone in fielding did Ty shine. At
the bat he made up for three other
hitters. Two triples and a double fell
TO the lot of the Georgia Peach, and
he scored each time. On the bases he

the Nationals were obliged to chalk up
another defeat.

Dolly Gray took up the slab duty, and
he was touched up for four hits in three
innings including TVS second triple of
the day.
Schnefer Plays Great Ball.
The one bright spot in the afternoon
from a local standpoint was the work
OF Germany Schaefer on first. The
Dutchman put up a great game, and led
the home crew with the stick, collecting
two doubles and a single. Clyde Milan
made a nice catch of Stanage's drive
in the ninth. and also slammed a triple
TO center, making the sack by some fast
sprinting around the bases.
Wild Bill Donovan took things easy
never working hard and holding the Ma
tiOnals safe all the way In only two
innings was Donovan in danger. and
then Bill came across with some pinch
stun that made the fans groan.
Donovan handed out two runs by
forcing a pair of Nationals over the
plate in the eighth inning but with
three on he made Clyde Milan hit a
dinky roller TO Bush. and the little
chance Washington had to even tie the
score went up in smoke.
