part of Long Tom Hughes and lively
rattle. of timely hits in the first inning

series here this afternoon, 4 to 2, and
that the Climbers still retain third place
is due to- the fact that tie down-trodden
New Yorks upset the Chicago White Sox.
Mark Hall. who last summer pastimed
in Omaha, Neb,, did the pitching for the
Jungaleers and made ten of our side take
the short route to the bench. The eight
hits obtained on Halls delivery were
wasted except in two innings, all Of which
shows that Mr.. Hall Is considerable of
a pitcher.
Danny Moeller, who injured his left
ankle while sliding yesterday. was re-
lieved from duty this afternoon and his
place filed by Jacinto Calvo. the Cuban.
hit safely to center the first time up. so
Griff is not worrying a whole lot about
Moeller's twisted ankle.
Gnndil Falls Down.
Tie boys who usually come through
with the pinch hit stun for the Nationals
were completely at Halls mercy today.
Chick Gandil had three glowing oppor-
tunities to wreck things but failed. The
Outside of Hughes wildness, the vet
eran displayed better form than at any
time this year. OF the six passes he
issued three were converted into runs
by Detroit. The Tigers only reached
Long Tom safely five times.
The first basing of Chick Gandf and
a couple of fancy catches in center by
High proved the noteworthy features.
Ty Cobb, who has been out of the game

spike wound, came up to bat for Hen
messy in the eighth and drew a base on
balls. Cobb still limped a trihe, and
while he did not ask for a base rum
ner was not allowed to resume his old
place in center field.
Ray Morgan opened the game by
crashing to the left field fence for a
double ard stealing third. Foster struck
out. and Milan forced Ray at the plate.
Gandil famed.
The Tigers won the game in the other
half Of this inning, when Witt walked
after Bush had gone and Crawford
slammed to right center for a triple.
Neach was also passed. Gamer singled,
scoring Crawford, and when Mckee
slashed through Morgan, Veach counted.
Calvo BinsIes.

Crawford on the hit and run signal The
Tigers worked that time-worn trick on
the Cuban, making him look foolish.
Calvo started for second and Bush ran
over to the bag as If to take the throw.
Calvo, of course, kept on running, and
when he finally looked up to see what
had become of the ball he discovered it
in Gamers hands at first base where
Crawford had thrown II after making the
catch.
The Climbers scored in the fourth when
Foster started the inning with a double
and went to third on Milan's grounder to
Gamer. Gandil walked, and Calvo shot
the ball to right field, scoring Foster
Howard Shanks forced Gandil at third,
and Mcbride famed for the third out.
After Henry and Hughes had gone in
the Nationals fifth, Morgan doubled 10

the sixth Milan singled, reached second
on a wild pitch, and came home on
Shanks' safe drive to center. During the
three remaining innings Hall allowed but
one hit, single by Mcbride in the ninth
after two had gone.
Tom Hughes, after the disastrous first
round, was hit safely but once until the
eighth, when Gamer opened that inning
with single, then followed an error by
Mcbride, a base on balls, and a sacrifice
fly, which gave the Tigers tally which
they did not need.
