MILAN HITS HOME RUN,

Tigers Threaten But Once, When

the Fifth.
By ]. ED aRu.Lo.

The Tigers did not cut much figure
in the final game Of the series with the
Griffmen yesterday. because they were
up against pitching such as would have
beaten any team.
Walter johnson was on the mound
and he was at his best, as the fact that
the Tigers got no runs. three scat.
tered hits and ten Of them struck out
in the first Ave innings will attest. The
score was to 0.
Just how many would have been sent
to the bench by this route had Walter
found 1t necessary to go through the
game at top speed no one can tell. but
for five innings he was forced to &c
the limit because his team could
not get him run. In the last halt
came through with a couple Of tallies
and from that on Walter took matters
comparatively easy and the striking
out of the Tigers ceased. not one OF
them tanning during the last four
innings. Nor did they threaten much
during this period. for but two men
reached the sacks and they never got
farther than first base. Oldham started
to do the pitching. but after he had
filled the bases in the fourth he was
relieved by Dubuc.
Dubuc, though shouldering big
handicap, got out of the inning without
being scored on. But his undoing came
in the fifth, when the Grifmen scored
a couple of runs.
This is how 1t happened: With one
down, Morgan singled to center. John
son hit a line drive to right, which
Crawford caught, but Jamison was
walked: Eddie Foster then came
through with double to left. Kava,
this drive that he was never intended
for the outheld. Morgan and Jamison
both scored, and from that out John
son took things easy.
Milan Makes Home Run.
Assurance Of his victory was
strengthened when. in the eighth in
which hoped over Cobb's head and
went for a home run. to the delight OF
the Nationals center6elder.
The Tigers really threatened but once.
Stanage and Dubuc. Bush fell on the
first ball pitched. on which johnson had
put but little. for triple into right;
Johnson then walked Witt and Cobb
and struck out Kavanaugh for the
third consecutive time.
On two occasions the Grfffmen threat
ened. but failed to score principally be-
cause their base work lacked judg-
ment. In the third. for instance Ain
smith started of with a single, only to

later. Morgan then walked and john
son followed with a double to center
which would easily have scored Ain
smith had he remained on first. Nor
gan went to :hird on the hit. while
Jamison grounded to Young. who.
throwing home. got Morgan between
home and third. and after retiring him
johnson, who had run up to third. got
hfs dates mixed and was doubled up.
In the fourth there was another
chance for runs. Foster started this
by singing and stealing second. Milan
was hit by a pitched ball and then
Gandil singled to center and the bases
were full when Oldham was taken out
and Dubuc substituted. Williams was
sent to bat for Barber. He hit
grounder to third and Witt threw out
Foster at the plate. Shanks followed
with a bounder to Dubuc and the lat
ter whipped the ball home in time to
head off Milan. and Stanage got 1t to
first in time to double up Shanks. The
score:
