Sam Crawford bludgeoned the New
forks to a drubbing In the first game Of
n double header at the Polo Grounds yes
terday and that after the home brigade
had built up long lead. When the New
Works got through scoring Crawford
started in and the Detroits laughed last.
The New Yorks led to o. at one stage.
but at the finish the Tigers led. to 8.
The latter tied the score in the seventh
and made hurrah finish with three
talles in the thirteenth. which was the
overtime length to which the first feud
went.
on account OF darkness the second clash
was cut down to seven innings and the
New Yorks won II, 3 to =. This conflict,
like Its bigger brother battle, had a last
inning climax In which a tie was broken
and victory set up then and there. Hart

Yorks, cleaving the dusk with a parabola

TO see the ball Umpire IIildebrand kept
the teams at IL longer than there was any
reasonable need for doing. As II was. the
teams locked horns from midday until
twilight The second game terminated
after seven innings, and In the seventh
only those with the best OF eyesight could
keep up with tho doings in the trans
iucence. The only way the others knew

The first game was loose and contained
plays and tactics OF all sorts Dauss,
after being handled roughly by the New
Yorks, rallied in style and went through
the extra innings strong. Even after their
big lead had been torn away the New
Yorks had nice chances to win. but re-

A rush of base hits give the New Yorks
four runs In the first inning. Hartzell,
Cree, Mullen. Peck and Sweeney did the
stabbing and Doc Cook inserted a sacri-
fee which was fumbled by Dauss with
four runs In there still were three men
on bases and none out. The rally ended
lamely in a couple of s;r!keouts and a
tap to the pitcher. and the failure to
keep striking while the iron was hot
brought its penalty later on.
More hitting and slack fielding by the
Tigers fattened the New York 'otal TO
SIX but the Michigan providers got four
OF these back In the sixth, when they
knocked Brown out OF the box. Cobb
singled. as did Veach, Burns and Mo-
riarty. which entilading of the Brown de-
livery was topped off by a double by
Dauss. There was a double steal in this
inning, too. to give X complexlty, success
full because sweeney was slow in getting
the ball away.
