American League Park, ~ Hughey
Jennings Dstroit Tigers captured the
second game Of the series from the
Nationals, 9 TO {
Mex" u charged with the defeat.
As the Jungaleers went to his de-
livery like a lot OF hungry wolves,
and rang up i've base blows for as
many runs. in the last three innings.
Doc Ayers. who has at all times prov
en- to be a jinx one way or the other
to ths Tigers, went six sessions
against the visitors, and when he
retired at the end OF that frame,
the Nationals were leading by one
run
This one-run margin was short-liv-
ed. as Jennings peppery crowd took
to the liking Of the slants served
up by the curyed-ban hurler from
the Lone Star State and placed the
old ball game on ice and beyond
the reach OF the Grifmen, in the sew
enth. eighth and ninth innings.
The Nationals grabbed an early lead
OF the heaving OF George Dauss. who
threw up the sponge in the fourth.
G. Jones and Boland, who followed
Dauss on the firing hill, were pretty
liberal with base blows. but the Griff-
men never threatened very hard to
dent the pan while these hurlers were
in the center Of the diamond
Judges single and Fosters base
on balls coupled with Sammy Rice's
two-base wallop to left field, paved
the way for the Nationals first two
tallies in the opening frame. The
TigeFs evened the count in the next
session. when Young and Stanage hit
safely and DausS drew a free pass
With two down, Donnie Bush hit a
pop ny back OF second base which
Eddie Foster dropped, and Young and
Stanagk romped across the pan.
In the fourth the Nationals added
their 1pal two markers. Leonard was
isued tree transportation and went
to third when Cobb booted Menos-
keys fly ball. Mcbride then poled
q long clout to the Georgian peach
which scored Leonard. Cobb threw
10 third to head OF Menoskey.
Bobby Witt believed that he had the
local outhelder OF the sack and pro-
tested strongly. Umpire Tommy Con-
nelly ruled otherwise. but Witt was
so much up in the air that he threw
the ball to Uncle Nick AItrock, who
was coaching at the far corner. when
Nick asked him to allow him to
look It over. As the umpires had
failed to call time. Nick jumped QUITO
OF the way Of the ball and Mike
crossed the dish.
One run was gathered by the Tigers
in the sixth when Harper was
smacked in the ribs. Young forced
Harper at the keystone sack, but
Mcbride threw into the dug out in
his attempt to head OF Pep at
the initial sack. Stanage followed
with a base knock and Pep" raced
across the plate.
GaIlia took up the burden In the
seventh, and after two had been re-
tired. he busted Veach on the leg
with one Of his fast ones. Hielman
then hit a sharp grounder to center
field. which Milan booted around, and
Veach crossed over the pan.
Three runs were rung up by the
Tigers in the next session. Young
walked and went to second on Gal
las wild pitch Judge then muffed
Leonard's throw OF Yelles' grounder
and Young moved to third. Young
was thrown out at third on Jones'
attempt to sacrifice, but Bush filled
the sacks by beating out an infield
hit Witt then lined to center field
and Young and Jones registered.
Cobb fouled out. but Bush counted
when Heilman hit to left field. The
srore.
