Forced to Quit.
By WILLIAM PEET.

After shifting at a four-run lead, Jen-
nings' Tigers got busy yesterday and
started to whale the daylights out of a
couple of Grif's pitchers. tossing a half
dozen runs into the third and fourth
frames and winning the third combat of
the series by to5.
Joe Boehling was again the goat,
failing to stick through to the finish after
a good start. Joe was .yanked. in the
fourth and Dumont substituted.
Harry Coveleski. who failed to sur
vive the second inning in the opening
clash. was on the mound throughout for
Detroit and after that first inning bonn
bardment pitched great ball. thereby
gaining sweet revenge.
While more than half of the eight hits
obtained by the Tigers while Boehling
was in the box were scratch singles,
yet there is no denying the fact that
those Tigers sure can bust the old
agate" Fluke hits or not, they all
counted. and they all helped swell the
run total.
Eddie Foster, with three singles out of
five times up, led the Nationals with the
stick.
Cobb Is "Canned.r
Two important features can be chron-
icled. Ty Cobb was fired out of the
game for disputing an umpire's decision
and George Mcbride was spiked, being
forced to quit in the third inning. Ray

After Boehling had blanked the en-
emy in the first inning. the Griffmen
came along in the other half. and put
over enough runs to win any ordinary
game of ball.

for a pass. Foster singled to left put
ting Jameson on third base. Milan
poked the ball to center, scoring jamie
son. Gandil hunted, and when Cove
leski slammed to Witt in an attempt to
force Foster at third Witt dropped the
ball and it rolled half way to the
stands. Foster scored on the error and
Milan went to third. Barber slammed
to Witt and Milan was run to earth.
Shanks walked, filling the bases. Ain
smith flied to Crawford, scoring Gan
dill, and on the relay, Crawford to Bush
to Witt, in an attempt to catch Barber
at the far corner, Bush's peg was wild,
Barber counting with Washinetpn' s
fourth run.
Detroit could do nothing with Boehling
until the third. when five hits. most of
them infield scratches. put over three
runs Ty Cobb was caught flat-flooted
on the base paths in this chap and
kicked so loudly to Umpire Wallace that
he was ordered out OF the game
BoehlinE Taken Out.
The Tigers started after Boehling
again in the fourth chapter. when
Young and Stanage singled Joe fan
ned Coveleski, but Bush singled to
right. and when Barber fumbled. Young
scored. 1t was at this stage that Du-
mont was substituted. Witt responded
with a drive at the young pitcher.

fifth with a triple over Jamieson's
head. and crossed the plate on Craw-
