YANKEES AGAIN LIMP
THEIR WAY TO DEFEAT
Go Down Before the Detroit
Tigers, but Not Without a
Hard Struggle.
CHEERS, NOT JEERS, FOR TY
Dowd and Sterrett the Only Rays
of Hope in Wolverton's
Heavy Cloud of
Gloom.

With an ambulance in the of1ng ready
for any emergency, Dynamite Harry
Wolverton trotted ont the halt and the
manned to meet the Detroit Tigers at
American League Park yesterday. The
arnica-ed and Omega oiled crew, which is
Haunting the fair Farrell orihamme, quaffed
deeply once more of the cup OF defeat,
which is served almost daily, and repaired
10 the hospital, where they were said TO be
resting easily last night
Although the Yankees lost by score Of
6 to 2 Wolverton was congratulated on all
sides. The nine men that started the game
stayed to the finish. Not one broke his
neck, vas stricken with spinal meningitis
or came down with the cholera during the
fray, although the roll will be called again
early this morning. Daniels, Simmons,
Hartzell and Sweeney, of the regular team,
all lasted. Roy returned after a lay-Oif.
Gradually Wolverton is getting his f'lll
strength in line, preparing TO slip sone-
thing over on Old Hard Luck one of these
days and put all the veterans on the field.
Ty Cobb was neither hanged, drawn por
CHARTERED, lynched, burned at the stake,
nor did he become the target for gang
of Bewery gunfghters, although printed re-
ports had il that the reserves were to he
called out, plainelothes men were TO flood
the stand and shaTpshOOters were to be
rieketed at every eoign of vantage. Ty, 1t
will be remembered, started something'
on his last appearance here, and was sub
sequently warned to give New York wide
berth. He was back at the old stand again,
however, raPping out his daily quote of Two
hits ana raising Old Ned on the paths. on
his first time at bat he was cordially ap-
plaudsd by the fans who took pains 10
repeat the applause when he came up the
next three times as well as when he crossed
the plate with a run. 1t was tribute from
the cleaner sort Of baseball lovers to one
Of the greatest players In the world,

fans" looked almost as natural as they
do on a magazine cover After three
innings of work George Muilin found it
too warm for fat man to pitch. and re-
tired in favor OF Works. d man OF leaner
proportions. Wolyerton rejoiced to let Nc
Cornell pitch the whole gamee and make
record with an intact lineup
The Tigers pulled the wool over the eyes
of the verdant New York youngsters on
several occasions Bush caught sterrett
with his foot off the bag for a double play

single in the fifth but the willy Ty fooled
around third, fOxing 'Hartzell into holding
the ball until Crawford reached second
safely. Both crossed the plate later. On
two occasions was the double steal sue
cessfully attempted.
There are many fine shOrtstops around
the big pastures. but when owen Bush

ON his work he can show them all some
thing Yesterday he was in his element,
and the plays and near plays that he made
were of lustre unsurpassed. The eleven
chances that he handled were marvels OF
perfection. while he added few hard stops
that went for hits which no other player
would have touched. But Bush will have
to look TO his laurels if Young Dowd keeps
up fielding the way he did yesterday His
work was nothing short of sensational. and
vithsl he has more ginger in his makeup
than all the rest Of the team put together
Even though he did try TO score from sec
ond when Mcconnell lifted TO Crawford in
the second frame and was doubled up, he is
one of the brightest rays penetrating
through the New York mists. Sterrett, as
we'll, PLAYED a remarkable game at first
handling sixteen put outs without an error
and many bad throws came his way. While
he has not the finish or dash of Hal Chase
he is rapidly developing into a wonderful
first baseman The fans were quick 10
recognize his ability with applause yester-
day
A pass to Wit and singles by Crawford
and Jones gave the Tigers two runs In the

triple In the second. while Louden singled,
took second on an out, stole third and
