SCORE NINE IN FIRST INNING
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Never before in the history or the
regime of Hughey Jennings with the
Detroit team has that aggregation
suffered so severe and humiliating
defeat as the Griffmen inflicted upon
them yesterday, when they beat the
Tigers IS to 3. The game virtually
was over before the first inning was
finished. this round netting nine runs
on a hit batsman, three walks and six
safe drives. 1t has been many day
since trio of pitchers were SO severely
punished as the three whom Jennings
sent to the mound yesterday.
Boehler was the opener and he last
ed but few minutes. The very first
ball he pitched hit Morgan and he took
first. Foster singled and then Milan and
Rondeau were walked, forcing in a
run. That ended Boehler and Bolan
was brought to the slaughter Judge
greeted him with a hit. Shanks struck
out and Henry walked. Mcbride
singled and SO did Gallia. Morgan
forced Henry at the plate, and then
Foster cleaned up with q three base
hit. scoring himself, when Milan
singled. That was the end of the first.
Erickson started the second. Judge
greeted him with three-baSe hit
against the right field wall. Shanks
popped UP, but Henry scored Judge
with a single Mcbride walked and
then he and Henry pulled double
steal Galia famed, but Morgan
brought Henry home with a single.
A double by Rondeau, Shanks' single
and a sacrifice fly gave the locals two
more runs in the sixth. and a walk
to Foster, Milan's double and Rondeaus

The Tigers scored in the fourth when

That there is going to be an inter

be eliminated from the pennant race
goes without saying. Stallings has the

repeat. There is no team in the league

As was predicted in these columns
yesterday, Hughey Jennings exhausted
his pitching staff in the first two
games of the series. both Of which
went to the Nationals. and there was
no pitching strength remaining on the
Tigers bench which would prove trou-
oiesome to the Griffmen.
The game today is to wind up the Sc
ries. and Manager Jennings previous

how to find a pitcher who might stop
the onrush of the locals. 1t was
auestionabl BILE whether Dauss was able
TO 60 on the mound. James. it was be-

fourth straight win.
Jennings does not want to overwork
