said that he had hopes that eventually
the horse would recover and be able 70

The extent of the breakdown will not
be known for several days. according to
James Rowe, the trainer. 1t is practical-
ly certain, however, that the great horse
will not be started in any of the sara

Arrivals of horses continued to be
heavy all day in preparation for the

Cobb gained considerably on his rival
for batting honors, Joe Jackson. yester-

race between this pair of remarkable hit
tiers Is very close. and the race has
reached that stage where they are watch

A questionable hit by Moeller to Mort
arty was the only safe blow charged
against Hall during the first five innings
yesterday. In the meantime the Tigers
were connecting with Boehling's delivery
every now and then but good support
prevented them from scoring until the
first half OF the fifth, when they scored
enough runs to cinch the game. Stan
age opened this round with a hit and
Moriarty was hit by a pitched ball. Hall
sacrificed them along and Bush came
through with a clean three-base hit to
right center, which scored both men. He
came home himself when Bauman sent
a long sacrifice fly to Milan, but Craw-
ford ended the round with a grounder to
Gandil.
Another run came to the Tigers in the
eighth, when Bauman singled and Craw-
ford drove him to third with a double.
He scored when Cobb sent a bounder to

ager Griffith is handling his star twirler
with great care. taking every precaution
not to work him too hard.
Griffith figures that a pitcher of john

the chances for winning this year are all

mar Johnsons future by giving him too
much work in the present race, in which

This is his reason for not working him

Is it possible that Eddie Plank has
gone back? The veteran southpaw has
lost his last two games and he has been
hit hard in both of them. Plank has been
ineffective in these two games and there
is fear expressed by the admirers of the
Athletics that the old fellow has started
on the down grade. If this be true 1t will
not necessarily make any difference in
the chances OF the Mackmen. They have
so comfortable lead and are getting
such good work from their young pitch
ers that it is not likely they will be
pushed seriously at the finish, but the
falling off of Flank might have an effect
on the team at that.
