Yankees Beaten
BY Tigers after
a Hard Struggle

Detroit, Sept. 15.-Hughie Jennings
and his Tigers kept right up in the
dizzy fight for an American League
championship with the Red and the
White Sox By taking the farewell
game of the season from the Yankees.
The score was 10 2. In spite OF
dropping two of their three games
here, the Donovan clan maintained
their grip on the last round of the first
division. The st. Louis Browns were
victims of the pacemakers.
Mogridge. who pitched for New
York, was the equal Of Dauss, although
not quite so effective in the pinches.
An error by Gedeon led up 70 De
troit's first run. A pass 70 Witt
started the second that tied the score.
Once the Tigers were on even terms
there was no holding them. Ty Cobb
came out of his batting slump and
rolled up three hits as part of an
afternoons work.
For few moments in the opening
inning it looked as if Dauss was in
for trimming. This fellow tossed out
Msgec. Then the fireworks opened.
High singled to left and Peck singled
to right. Pipp singled over first and
High, rather foolshly, attempted 10
score from second. Heilman had re-
covered the ball by the time Hughie
rounded third, and had the easiest
kind of a play at the plate. Il was
mighty bad base running, especially
with a hitter of Frank Bakers well
known worth in the slot.
Jennings told Dauss not 20 let the
home run boy look at anything good,
so j. Franklin was purposely passed,
filling the bases. Miller, however,
came through with a long single 70
centre that scored Peckinpaugh and
Pipp. Stsnage outguessed an at
tempted hit and run play and Baker
was trapped stealing third.
Bush and Cobb singled, with only
one out, in Detroit's half, but Veach
and Crawford both hit into force-outs.
In the second, with one down, Alex
ander was hit by pitched ball.
Modridge hit into double play.
The Tigers got run back in their
half. Heilman beat a tap to Gedeon
and got an extra base when the latter
threw wildly. Two infield outs scored
him. Magee doubled TO start New
York's third, but was left at the mid
way.
Witt walked to begin Detroit's half
and Bush brought the run In with a
triple. Peck held Bush at third, while
he threw out Cobb. Veach famed
and Crawford flied to Baumsnn. who
had supplanted High.
Baker opened the fourth with a sin
gle and Miller sacrificed. But Gedeon
fouled to Stanage, while Alexander
famed.
A second triple by Bush, this time
with one out. broke up the game on
Mogridge in the fifth. Cobb followed
with a double. Ty stole third. but
there he roasted. while Veach whitfield
and Crawford grounded to Pipp.
Joe Gedeon had a chance TO break
Up the game in the sixth. but the
best he had was a pop to Young. In
this inning, with two out, Baker sin
gled He raced to third on Miller's
single. Then Miller stole second
Gedeon was not able to deliver.
Another golden opportunity was
thrown away when Alexander was
caught trying 70 stretch his double
that opened the seventh. In the sec
ond half of this same inning the Ii
gers sewed it up. Witt led Off with
jolt through Peckinpaugh. Bush flied
cut, but Cobb's single put Witt on
third. Neach's fly to Magee account
ed for the last run.
New York made dying gasp in the
eighth. Peck doubled with only one
out. but Pipp famed and Baker hit
to Bush.
The score follows:
