Detroit. June 4-One more hope" Of the
New York Yankees went wrong here to-day.
Ray Fisher, the Vermont school teacher,
Joined the team, since his class was dis
banded for the summer, and WolVerton
thought that he was the man for whom he
has been looking. Wolverton, however. was
disahused of all such fond hopes when he
sent Fisher forth to do battle with the
hungry band of Detroit Tigers on Navin
| Field. For six somewhat long drawn out
and certainly painful innings the youthful
padagogue labored I'm the box. Then he
withdrew. The Tigers had only belted his
| choicest offerings to the extreme and other
corners of the lot and made eleven hits
count for six runs. That wasn't all. Shears,
! from the South, was then placed on exhibit
ton and the Tigers whaled him around for
eight runs, made on some good hard hitting
and aided by some mighty weak efforts at
| fielding The final score was il to /.
Works, the hero of that great battle
against Ed Walsh and Lange. fought, or I'm
reality played. In Chicago recently, was on
! the mound for the home team, and for all
| practical purposes the New York men might
! just as well have used toothpicks when an
occasion arose which needed the Detroit
mans immediate attention Eight hits in
| all they made, hut with the exception of
the second inning. when two hits produced
| the one lone tally the visitors could do little
or nothing with his delivery. From time to
! time they got men on bases, and I'm the
| eighth inning threatened the plate by bunch
! ing two hits. Only one man was out al the
time but Works coaXed Hartzell into rails
ing an inhed fly and Cree forced Daniels
at second base
Tho Detroit defence WAS up TO the stand
ard Of the remarkable pitching. and an
error by Bauman. who replaced Delehanty
at second base, alone married the perfect
card. Ty Cobb was in his element, and
| pulled off three catches that were above
the ordinary. Del Gainor played slashlng
game at first base. The New York men
PLAYED lstless. don't-care sort Of game
and had four errors charged against them
before the game was over.
Every man on the Detroit team with the
exception Of Gainor and Bauman made a
hit. Davy Jones played havoc with the
New York pitching, and laced out three
ringing safeties Ty cobb and Sam Craw-
ford each made brace OF hits. while
Delehanty and Morarty did equally Wei.
Cree and Daniels alone made more than
one hit for the Yankees.
Detroit went off in the lead and got a "un
over in the first inning on singles by Jones
and Crawford and a stolen base by Jones.
The Yankees tied the score in the second
inrxug. Xinns infcld roller was not helded
fast enough to beat him 10 tho bag. and
Gardner sent one singing 10 right for a
base that put linn on third. lie soon
scored, for Chase hunted along the first
base line and Zinn slid into the plate. while
Hal was retired by Gainor unassisted.
Then the fun started. The Tigers grum-
lied along for two innings, but In the
fourth they pushed one run over and in the
lead once they never stopped. They bat
ted Fisher out Of the box In the nth Inn
ing and pounded Shears until they wearied.
although 1t must be said in fairness 10 the
latter that his support was none the best.
The score follows.
