Although the men on the field erred
grievously. much of the blame for the
defeat belongs TO Bill Donovan. He
allowed Jack Warhop to remain in the
box long after it was apparent that he
could not hold the Tigers, and, worst
Of all, the manager permitted his team
10 90 half through the last inning be-
fore he sent q coacher to the lines.
The pity Of It all was that the
Yankees showed splendid power and
made the most courageous sort OF a
rally in the eighth, which went for
nothing on account of sheer stupidity.
Defeats due 10 errors above the neck
are always annoying.
Two members Of the blunderbund
are newcomers. Donovan sent Layden,
a recruit from the South Atlantic
League, in 10 run for Pipp in the
eighth. and he was caught mapping oil
second on a throw from the catcher.
Later in the inning Barney ran Cook
of third in attempting to take too
much ground on Bauman's single. Five
singles and two bases on balls were
punched in this eighth inning, and II
Detroit had not been presented with
two outs there is no telling how far the
rally might have gone.
Contrast was not lacking to heighten
the euormity Of the offences com
mitted by Donovan's men. There was
Ty. recruit had q chance to learn
what to do and what not TO do, both
by example. Still, Ty is q dangerous
model. He often does the wrong
thing, but he always does it at the
right time. After stretching a double
into a triple in the eighth inning, Cobb
came home from third on q passed ball
which rolled not more than fo n feet
away from Nunamaker Ty had taken
one Of his usual leads Of fifty feet or
more, and it was only step to the
plate from where he stood.
The Yankees led in the early innings,
but in the sixth WARRIOR made the mis-
take of allowing Ty to come up while
the bases were full. Cobb promptly
smashed q single over second, and De-
troit had four runs when the inning
ended.
A triple BY Cobb, closely followed with
longer hit Of Crawford's, which
dropped into the upper stand, gave the
Tigers q lead in the eighth which
seemed 10 put them beyond worry.
Then came the heart making and
breaking rally Of the Yankees.
A single by Witt, Pep Young's
sacrifice and Crawford's single to cen
tire gave the Tigers their run in the
first inning. The Yankees retaliated
Immediately, when High doubled, took
second on Boone's sacrifice and scored
on Maisel's fly 10 centre.
This play showed that in one respect
Tv is only inditferently proficient. II
he may be judged by his throw Of yes
terday he is hardly the equal OF men
like Speaker, Murray, Burns or Wilson
in long distance defence of the plate:
A triple by Cook which Crawford
played awkwardly off the right held
wall and Barney's inheld out gave the
Yankees one run and the lead IN the
second inning Boland, Witt, Young,
Cobb and Crawford singled in success
sion in the sixth, and these hits
coupled with an infield out and a sac
rifce fy from Burns 10 High, gave
Detroit four runs. Donovan stood pat
with WARRIOR, and in the eighth Cobb
tr.pled. and scored on a short passed
ball. and Crawford hit a home run.
The score al this point was TO 2
Then came the horror High began the
second half of the eighth with a sin
gle. a clean smash 10 centre Boone
walked and Maisel hit solidly to left
filing the bases. Pipp drove a long
single 20 left centre and scored High
and Boone Maisel reached third.
The big first baseman might have
made second on his hit, but he pulled
up a little lame, and Donovan sent
Layden in 10 run for him. 1t was the
first time the recruit had ever played
in the presence of more than a thou
sand persons, and he was probably a
little nervous. At any rate when Cook
singled TO left, scoring Maisel, Layden
ran down 20 second faultlessly. AT
this point Jennings awoke to the fact
that Boland was being hit hard and
benched him IN favor of Steen.
The newcomer was wild, but Barney
was sent up 20 bunt. After Steen had
pitched twice Baker made fast throw
TO Bush and caught Layden before he
could get back to the bag Barney, un-
fortunately for New York, received a
pass. If Layden had not been caught
the bases would have been filled, with
no one out As il was there still
seemed an excellent chance to tie the
score. Bauman singled to centre, and
Barney came tearing past second and
forced Cook off third. Doc managed
to get home, but Barney was caught
in a run-up between second and third
Without a coacher on either line, the
Yankees began the ninth one run be
hind. Hartzell batted for WARRIOR and
singled to left High tried 20 sacri-
fee. but forced his team mate at sec
ond Boones single to right put High
