Final Out.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BOSTON, August 2o.-Detroit
defeated the Red Sox today by
the same score as the Tigers vic
tory yesterday, to 1. All the
scoring was in the last two in
nings and was marked by des-
perate shifting of players by Bill
Carrigan as if he were playing
chess, a ninth-inning rally result
ing in one run for the Sox and
Cady striking out with two men
on bases for the end of the game.
Carl Mays, the underhanded
star, who is more or less of jinx
for Detroit, and Bill James had a
close battle up to the eighth in
ming, during which hits were as
scarce as Bostonians who don't
believe that the world series will
be an all-Boston affair.
In the eighth Sam Crawford
led off for the Tigers with a pass
and by the first break of the game
got to third. Mays had caught
him mile off first, as he had
caught two Tigers previously, but
Hoblitzell dropped the ball, and
Wahoo made third. He was held
there as Burns rolled out, but
Young, dangerous man in a
pinch, hit a timely single that
produced a run looking like a
million dollars.

Carrigan Immediately began his game
of chess. Henriksen batted for Scott
and died easily. Thomas worked James
for a pass and Janvrin ran for him.
Shorten, batting for Mays, forced
Janvrin, but made second when Young
missed an easy double play by poor
throw to first.
Witt greeted Wyckoff, who succeeded
Mays in the Boston box. with triple
to the bleachers and scored on a sacri-
flee fly by Bush that nearly went to the
same hole, but was grabbed by Hooper
in circus stunt.
The Sox made a game try il their
ninth. With one strike on Duffy
Lewis, Babe Ruth, the slugging pitcher,
went in to bat for him and banged
mighty double to the center field fence
He made third when Burns could not
locate the ball behind him on an over
throw to second from center field.
Hoblitzell cracked out single by third
that scored Ruth. Walker flied hard to
left and Gardner worked James for
pass, aided by CarrEan, who claimed
that James was using emery ball
Cady fouled off four, then swung wide
at the third one.
Great fielding helped both James and
Nays up to the eighth. Mays caught
Bush and Cobb in succession off first in
the first inning after each had poled
healthy single. Lewis caught a liner
from Cobb the left-field bank and
Bush did startling work at short.
Neither team got a man to second till
the eighth inning. only two Red Sox
hits and three Oigers bineles were
made up to the = 9TH. The attendance
