RED SOX AFTER
A LONG BATTLE
Muffs by Burns and Cobb
Enable Boston to Gain
Lead in Ninth.
By BRIGGS

Detroit, Aug. 26.-Detroit and Bos-
ton to-day played the third hair-rais-
ing ball game Of their crucial series,
and the Tigers won it in the twelfth
inning by a score OF 7 to 6.
Mufs by Burns and Cobb in the
ninth enabled the league leaders to
score four tallies and gain a one-run
lead. Leonard passed Kavanagh in the
Detroit half. Two infeld outs put the
pinch hitter on third, and Crawford
sent a single whistling past Wagner to
tie the score.
Cobb opened the twelfth with a
single to left, took second on Craw-
ford's sacrifice, and walked home when
Veach hit to the left field wall
The Tigers punched five hits for four
runs off Foster in the fourth inning.
Extra base hits gave Boston a run IN
the sixth and another in the seventh.
After Cobb was called out trying TO
steal second in the fifth inning he
twice caught O'Loughlin, the umpire,
by the arm, but was allowed to remain
in the game. President Johnson OF
the American League saw the incident.
Cobb celebrated his tenth anniver-
sary as a Detroit player, and was pre-
scented with a bouquet Of roses.

Douglas turned in a perfect card at

leading tourist of the major leagues,
three times and poled out two singles
and a double, which drove home two

defeat the Baltimore Terrapins after

twelfth. when the visitors pounded out
three runs.
George Walker held the Baltimore
batters in hand until the eighth, when
he was driven from the mound, BIZ

rors gave Baltimore a chance TO score
three runs and tie the score. Frank
Smith held the Terrapins scoreless for
two innings, easing up in the last frame
and allowing them a run. Eleven Bal

MARQUARD SAYS
HE WILL NOT
GO TO TORONTO
Giants, However, Refuse
to Release RUDE, So
Both Sit Tight.

GRube Marquard. released by the
Giants to the Toronto international
League club. positively will not report
to that team. And he has no though
of joining the Federal League, even il
the Giants make it possible by giving
him the unconditional release that hC
asks.
These statements were made in Ger
tain tones by the former pitcher OF
the Giants last night.
On the other hand. the New York
club says it Will not release Marquard
outright and that if he wants to draw
that salary, said TO be $4,000, they have
contracted to pay him he had better
get on the first train for Toronto.
Marquard believes that if he is re-
leased he can sign with the Braves
or the Phillies Neither of these clubs
wants him at the waiver price Of 500,
but either would be willing to give
him chance if they could get him
for nothing.
So the two parties are deadlocked
Marquard cannot jump to the Federal
League, bound as he is by ms present
contract. He tried it last winter. but
after he was signed with the Feds,
Robert B. Ward, president of the
Brooklyn Feds, had Marquard's con-
tract with the Giants examined and
turned him back to New York, ad-
hitting that the contract held Mar
Guard to organized baseball.
Marquard is the property Of the
Giants and must play where they send
him, if he i to draw the salary they
contracted to pay him. Unless ne gets
his unconditional release-which the
New York club refuses to do-he must
remain out Of baseball or 20 where
the Giants send him.
The Giants and Marquard are sitting
tight, each waiting for the other to
make move. RUDE was at the Polo
Grounds Yesterday afternoon. but not
in uniform. He conferred with officials
Of the Giants and left before the game
started.
Asked what he was going to do about
MarquarG, McGraw said last night:
"Not thing I'm through with him.
! have given him his orders and
have nothing further to do about it.
! have too many other troubles to
worry about Marquard."
