 Boston. September 1S-The Boston Red Sox today strengthened their claim to American league leadership by win ming from the Detroit Tigers a sensa- tional game of 12 innings. Although a contest of only one run, 1t was replete with situations that called out the best tactics. offensive and defensive of both teams, and included some remarkable fielding. With It's setting In a crowd of 37.52s persons, the game was con sidered one of the most memorable ever played here.
 In their effort to pull down the lead ing Red Sox team, the Tigers carried a powerful offensive almost around the bases; but time after time its threats were thwarted by a phenomentl de- fense. During the early part of the game the play was for the most part In the inner field. but later the balls " "SiC ScDt cpcColu6 uP tO tHS crowds. making 1t necessary for Speak or on one occasion to shoulder his way through the thong to catch Cobbs hard hit ball. Hooper was almost on the toes of the crowd in the next inning the tenth, when he pulled down Crawford's s drive.
 Two double plays. brilliantly exc cuted. were features. One. by the Detroit infleld, removed tn advantage gained by Boston when Barry doubled into the crowd. Another came shortly after De- troit had placed a man on every base without an out. Cobb was removed on a force play at the plate. Then Young hit to Gainer. and while the Detroit base runners foundered about. literally in one another's way, veach was caught at home and Crawford at third. For a time the Boston fielders had been at a loss apparently to know what to do with the ball. but a word from Captain Barry brought Gardner to third base to force out Crawford, who had been caught between second and third with the first two bases occupied By hits and an intended pass, Boston also filled the bases In the twelfth, and Manager Carrigan. taking the pinch hitter's burden upon himself, rapped to Bash. With one already out, the little shirtstop tried to start another killing double play, but Young failed him when he dropped the ball, and Lewis reache home with the longsought run. The pitching by Shore and Coveleskie, was of finished order, and both ap- peared to Improve as the contest length | ended.
