Iftbe Detroit club had one more George

wouId surely be back at their old tricks
of winning pennants. The curly heaueu

Walter Johnson were given a positive IL
lustration of their king being pushed into
the background by a veteran. There does
not appear to be much between them III
the score. as two hits We're registered on
each side. but Mullin outshone Waiter
when it came down to the pinches. The
ages Of the two pitchers eliminates the
financial worth of either. but it looks as
though Mullin would be with us Tor quite
n while vet and also continue to pitch
winning ball. He has developed a slow
ball that played havoc with the young
sters yesterday, as his strike-out record
will show.
But one clean hit was made OH Null

by Walter Johnson in the sixth inning

Walter can pickle the ball If he meets

BY fully a step.
The two hits made off Johnson were
somewhat similar, as but one was OF the
positive sort, and the other bordered on
the scratch, although II was hit at NC
Bride like a shot and he did well to stop
it. without making the play. The otner
hit was Clean and Moriarty drove the
ball into right center on line. but Tor
only single.
In the matter of fielding johnson had It
on Mullin. as George missed an easy
grounder and threw wild to second, max
ing two errors while Walter only fum-
bed an easy grounder.
AS an advertising medium the strike
OF the Detroit players was the best ever.
There must have been over 1O.OOO people
at the park yesterday, and another pig
crowd will assuredly be on hand TINS
afternoon on account of the great battle
yesterday. There was very little demon
stration for the players, although reports
were sent out last night that the Tigers
were given great reception, good ma,

being the general method Of showing that
they were glad the players had once more

10 the home men. so that the Tigers look
ed for nothing else. Representative men
from the Capitol and up town were there
in droves, and the attendance was
record breaker for a weekday.
Ty Cobb went out to the ground early
and met the Washington players on the
local bench. All the Nationals gathered
around Tyrus, and he had to give full
account Of his troubles in New York and
Philadelphia. A glance at the shed gave
one the impression of a Sunday school
teacher surrounded by his class The
other Detroit players kept away. and
TVS remarks were not punctured with
any Interruptions. After the confab Cobb
went up into the grandstand and viewed
the game from that point. From the way
the Washington players hung on to his
words yesterday it would be a good idea
to send Cobb here in case players
union is to be formed. as he wouidn't
lose man.
II is doubtful if there is another man
in Washington as much pleased over the
settlepent of the strike as Vice President
Sherman He was at the game Monday
and when the announcement was made
that the strike had been settled he was
heard TO remark TO his friends in the pri-
vate box:
Gee. whiz. I'm glad of that. 1 wonder
il Cobb is going to play here?
The Vice President Is great admirer
Of Tyrus and while 1t wouldn't do for him
TO indorse the action taken in New York
by the fiery Georgian, it is more thar
possible that il wouldn't be hard to sc.
cure his forgiveness.
After the strike had been settled in
Philadelphia President Navin of the De-
troit club went TO Cobb and said that
he knew he was under a heavy strain
and that he should go home to his fam
lily and rest up until the suspension was
lifted. When Ty read the news OF the
action Of the magnates at the Phila
delphia meeting in last evenings Star he
Immediately packed his belongings and
started for home. Before leaving he
said:
II guess I will be tied up for some
time vet and my wife and kiddies lool
good TO me Just now, so L am OF foi
Michigan. ! am not the least afraid but
that Johnson will restore me to goOC

papers in the case. He liz a stickler fol

Goodbye. everybody. I'll see. you or
