Special Dispatch to Tho Star.

DETROIT, Mich, September
9.-The mangled oorpses of three
St. Louis pitchers attest the fury
of the Tigers attack today, and
the score of IL to 8 shows that
the Browns died game. They
went the full nine innings and
were apparently willing to con-
tinue the battle indefinitely, only
the Jungaleers refused to accom-
modate them with any more pun
ishment.
One might gather from the to-
tails that Detroit had hard work
winning, but such was not the
case. The Tigers got their dozen
runs in the first six innings and
the Browns made their eight in
the last three, so Jennings men
had the victory all slowed away
before the enemy even got start
ed. With lead of just an even
II to work on and only three in
nings to go, Harry Coveleskie
naturally and sensibly eased up
and let Jones players amuse
themselves.

Wicked batting was the main factor
in the. compilation of the jungaleers'
regiment of tallies. Jennings assas-
sins got fourteen hits for twenty-four
bases, making four triples and two
doubles. There have been few games
played here this season in which the
ball has been thumped more vigorously.
ST. Louis helped some by rickety field
ing, but even without the six errors
i,ionated by the foe the Tigers would
have been able to hew their way to
victory.
