The Yankees may employ cunning.
* II or guile 10 capture the rest OF
tf cir games this season. but they VIII
l.ye 10 win without Kraft. Clarence,
Il, bore Of contention in the recent
I :ehau war, remains in Newark, y. j:
tue has triumphed again. ana
G. srlie Mullen will continue at hrst
lie indefinitely. Official announce
r nj said that Kraft had demanded
too large a salary, but there Is a well
FUNDED theory that the almost unanl-
mus protest of the newspapers mad
something to do with the collapse oil
the deal.
Certain il is that the fans watched
NIvllen Yesterday with "ravish'd, ach-
IN. vassal eyes" and cheered him each
tee he came TO bat. Unfortunately
q. the sake Of dramatic values, ne
{, ed 10 make q hit. but twice he lald
a.. IN sacrifices The final game be-
fy ,en the Tigers and the Yankees was
,r 'ecisive. Tor rain came down IN the
Las half Of the ninth, when the score
stood to 1.
Eraft showed. or, rather, almost
.howed, that publicity will 90 greaI
dol for a man, but Doc Cook illustrated
tho fact Yesterday that there also Is
a csrtain value in secretiveness. Among
n, Yankees the doctor is second only
10 Birdie Cree in batting. and he has
Loon throwing out men at the plate
and doing many other things OF late
Y. ich should bring him fame among
II, fans. Yet nobody ever notices him
S-'dorn does he get into the headlines
"a never has he been burning issue
a. baseball. When he comes 10 pat
20, fans ask "Who is that gawky Eel
~, anyway? ?" In fact, he IS the Ugly
y-ckling OF the Yankees.
In the fifth inning yesterday, when
Detroit led by a score OF / to U, CooH
Iooped lazy safety to centre neld;
: ,eeney was hit. and Cook walked
down TO second. Maisel bounced lhS
bail against the plate, and so hlgh uiG
the sphere bound that 1t seemed as II
the little comet might win his way TO
first. Dauss. pitchsr for the Tigers,
leaned high in the air for the ball ana
tossed out Maisel at first.
Now. where is Cook? Following the
c~ample of the fans, the Tigers had
raid not bit OF attention TO INN, ana
yhen Burns looked leisurely about ne
beheld the Doctor, not at third base
v1ere he belonged, but halfway home
49, tbe stretch to the plate. Burns
row. but Cook came into the plate
y TN a wrigcle and slide which car
r cd him out of the reach OF the eaten
G. He had scored from second on an
i-feld out.
In the very next inning George MORT
q ~ tried his hand at the gumshoe
r,me. but he was discovered IN mid
E ,reer and nailed from Heating TO
$ Feeney.
Heating and Dauss were the oppos-
20 pitchers. and what with clouds
vbich kept turning the light lower and
lower and the speed of the two twlrl-
crs. the batters had little chance.
Detroit scored in the second inning.
am Crawford drove the bail 20 deep
light centre for three bases, and came
lone when Lutte Boone made poor
relay to the plate. The Tigers almost
scored in the fourth, but good throw
rom Mullen to Sweeney caught Hlgh
y.hen he tried to score on low peg to
frst. Hits were few for the Yankees,
md after scoring in the htth they dld
little until the ninth.
In that inning Cree was safe on a
tumble By Kavanaugh. Mullen sacrl-
iced from Dauss 10 Burns. Cloud was
riling on cloud. and II was getting
darker and darker all the time. Dauss
tailed around bit, tossing the ball
10 the umpire for inspection and do
ing the other stock stunts. and before
ne was obliged to pitch to Cook the
rain came down hard and the game
was called. The Yankees start for the
West to-day.
The score follows:
