FRAGMENTS OF TIE FRaY
b AS SEN FROn "a
~ TIE PRESS BOxx

Viewed from the standpoint of the fans
who like slaughter, that was some game.
Twenty-seven hits is not bad.
Tom Hughes was rather popular with
the Detroit batters, and they hated to see
him yanked out. Dolly Gray got his,
too.
1t remained for Tyrus Cobb to furnish
most of the sensations. Ten put-outs for
the Georgian, in addition to two triples
and a two-bagger.
Cobb was close to the record for put
outs by an outf1eIder. Three more would
have broken the record for a single game.
Judging from the freely expressed emo
tions Of fans and some Of the players,
Umpire Mullen is fast replacing Tim
Hurst as a popular idol.
Donovan couldn't help laughing at
himself when Milan tapped q, fioater for
q single to left. Milan wasted no effort,
but merely held his bat out. He couldn't
have missed II.
It took just four pitched balls TO retire
the Nationals in the second.
Cobb was rendered a reception when he
came Lcross with a triple in the third.
Sam CrawfoTd showed he is still the
angel child when 1t comes to bringing
in runs.
When Milan made his second hit Of the
day. a triple, the frenzied cheers from
10000 mad-er-that is TO say, there was
considerable noise.
Dutch Schaefer seemed a happy pack
age when he reached second on his
single to right. So far as he was con-
cerned, Joy was unconfined.
Germany, in a clarion voice, instruct
ed Crawford to bunt in the fifth. Sans
best effort was an almost single to FL
berfeld.
Cobb looked like Gertrude Hoffman, in
Mendelssohn Spring Song" when he
made that fairy-like Brodie after Nj
lans fly In the fifth.
1t seemed as though Hughey Jennings
was not content with holding Tom
Hughes goat. He wrung the animals
neck. metaphorically speaking. after
each OF the extra base hits his hench-
men annexed, sby his mean, sarcastic
cracks.

NO SCHEDULE YET
FOR WORLD'SSERIES

Cincinnati, Ohio. Sept. 29.-Because of
the uncertainty Of the race for the PEN
nant in the National League, the ma
tional commission after long session
here to-day decided not to adopt

baseball fathers decided to await until
next Thursday before announcing a
schedule for the big series.
The commission will probably meet in
New York, at which time the race in
the National League will be settled. The
place for the opening game will be drawn

but if the Cubs win the National League

Many Expressions of Good Will

The amateur baseball seasons came to
a close last night, when the final meet
ing of the amateur commission was held
in Spaulding'S store in Fourteenth street
Representatives of every league under
the commission were present, and the
meet wound up IN love feast, many ex-
pressions Of the good fellowship and
fair treatment which has been exhibited
being Forthcoming. President Young, in
glowing words, made known the deep ap-
probation which he felt for the manner
in which he had been treated, and in be-
half of the commission thanked all who
had in any way contributed to the sue
cess of the season. Umpire Belts. speak
ing for the umpires, rendered the COM
mission the thanks of the corps, while
resolution was passed by the commission.
ShurtlefT! and Treasurer Thatcher, and
the members of the arbitration board for
their services.
Treasurer Thatcher's report of the f.
nances of the post-series, which have just
closed, was submitted, and adopted. Each
team which participated in games in sec
ton A received s62.47. Section B clubs
did not fare so well, as only $2.66 was
turned into their treasures, which sum
does not include the receipts from the
intersectional finals. From these games
the American Security, Cornell, and
Southland clubs each received 1855.
After the financial matters had been
adjusted the comission heard several re-
Aorts from Secretary Shurtleff, which
were approved. For some time Mr..
Shurtleff has been in communication
with the baseball authorities of Atlanta,
who are desirous Of perfecting an or
ganfzation similar to that in vogue here.
Although some information has been
forwarded to them in the matter In
order that a more complete understand
ing may be at their disposal, Mr.. VIII
lam Peet was delegated to represent the
amateur commission at meeting In
Atlanta. He will leave for the southern
city during the latter part of october.
A committee to revise the rules was ap-
pointed by President Young, consisting
of Joseph s. Jackson, Howard s. Reeside,
and S. E Beach.
In appreciation of the services rem
dered by Mrs. ShVrtleff, who did much
painstaking work keeping eligible lists
in order the commission voted to send
her to the worlds series.

If they were his, would have given a

A faint murmur Of applause stirred the
haze clouded the more or less cerulean
sky when Dolly Gray replaced Tom
Hughes in the seventh.
A booting match took place between
Mcbride and Walker on Moriarity's bin
gle through short. Owing to the strin-
gent District laws, the decision was with
held.
If anybody saw Bill Donovan shedding
tears over those three runs in the eighth,
it's safe to say he was initiating croc-
odile.
According to Col E. Lawrence Phillips,
the cheerful announcer, Senator" Null
len worked on the bases, with 'Secre-
tary' Evans at the plate.
1T isn't the shame and it isn't the
blame that stings like white-hot brand" :"
It was that combination of Cobb, Craw-

BYRD TO COACH.
Crack Quarter Back Will Handle
Gallaudet College Eleven.

Manager Anderson. OF the Gallaudet
College eleven. has secured H c. Byrd,
the former star quarter back Of the fast
1908 George Washington University team
to coach the Kendall Greeners this sea-
son. On account Of his connection with
Western High School team and other
business, Byrd can come only twice a
week to the Gallaudet field, but the ar
rangements so far made are satisfactory
to the Buff and Blue contingent, and at
the same time the high school boys are
allowed to practice at Kendall Green.
The selection OF Curly Byrd is well
received by the undergraduates and ad-
herents of the East Side college, as he is
probably the fotball star in this vicinity
best known at Gallaudet. While at Mary
land Agricultural, College and George
town University he played against the
Bun and Blue boys at quarter back, and
therefore, is conceded to be qualified for
the difficult task of coaching his by-gone
opponents When Byrd was on the ia
nous 1908 George Washington eleven, Gal
ladet did not play with that team.

the same place. Cobb again made him
self conspicuous by a dandy running
catch of ElberfeIds drive.

$1S,OO0 AUTOMOBILE
 REGISTRATION PAID
More Than 1900 Applications Re- ceived-Branch Office May Be
 Established in Birmingham

Montgomery, September 90.-(SpecaD.- Working from early morn to dewy eve officials in the automobile department Of the office of the secretary of state were able on Saturday to count in tlse neigh borhood of $1sooO, which will be added to the eoffers of the state to help re- plenish that weakening member of the state government. The amount of money is not quite one-third of the total amount which the state expects to realize from the registration of automobiles, as pro vided by the auto law recently passed ty the legislature.
 Late Saturday afternoon more than 1900 registrations had been applied for, while general estimate has it that there are in the state in the neighborhood of i500 .nc- tor vehicles which come under the pro- visions of the law. Cost of registration ranges from $7.5O to $100, in accordance with the use 10 which the automobile Is put and in accordance with whether or not the auto is for marketable purposes or for private use. Automobiles which are designed for individual use are reg
 stered in accordance with their horsepow- CT, the cost ranging rem $7.50 to $2o.
 Freight automobiles are registered at a round sum of s25, while dealers in auto mobiles, and garage owners, must pay to the state $lO0 for the privilege of operat- ing their business.
 Especial attention is called by Thomas w. Bradford, chief automobile registra- tion clerk, to that provision of the law which requires the registration of each and every automobile. Numbers, he says cannot be transferred without infracton of the law which infractions are punish able by heavy fines.
 According to the automobile law, when an automobile is sold it must be register ed before it can be operated The auto salesman is required by the statute to notify the secretary of state every time a machine is sold which furnishes one means of detecting any attempt at fraud. In ad- ditlon. the probate judges of the various counties and the sheriffs are empowered to see to enforcement of the provisions of the act.
 In all probability Secretary of State Cyrus B. Brown may open d branch reg istration office in Birmingham next week in order that orders might be filled im- mediately Definite decison has not yet been reached.
