champion Indians in most approved
Mike, the McNaliy, was almost the
entire show in Brush Stadium ycster-
day, and SO if a faithful record is
given of his achievements the story
Of the ball game which Ty Cobb's
Tigers lost by count of to 2 will
have been told.
The Mick from Erin deceived every
body as to what big afternoon it was
going to be for him by allowing Dutch
Leonard to fan him on his first ap-
pearance at the plate in the second
inning, but in the fourth, with the
Tigers leading at to and two men
on base, Mike singled to right, bring
ing in the tying run.
Mike Takes Brief Rest
Mike rested on these little laurels
until his next chance came in the
sixth, when with one out he smashed
the ball into the left field bleachers
for homer. 1t was Mikes first cir
cult crash of the season and the SUBJ
third baseman was just as happy over
mis- feat as were the $4,000 cheering
maniacs who surrounded the diamond.
But Mike the Mick was not content
and after Ty Cobb himself had undone
the Son of Erin by carrying over the
tally which once more tied the score
the third time and bunted so neatly
that the run which eventually won the
game was put on second base within
easy scoring distance. This climax Of
Mikes celebration" came in the
eighth.
Aside from Mike. Tyrus Raymond
Cobb and George Herman Ruth af-
forded all the color for the festive
gathering. The strategy of Tyrus, or
lack of it. when he removed Dutch
Leonard, who had been doing very
nicely, from the game in the seventh
caused considerable chatter in stands
and bleachers. And the way in which
Tyrus vainiy chased Ruth's triple in
Memorial In deepest center was the
biggest fun-maker of the day.
Kid Waite Hoyt, of Flatbush, de-
serves a few flowers himself for the
excellent manner in which he con-
Quoted the Yankee pitching. The en-
tire Detroit team led by the Teasing
Tyrus were "after' the Kid all through
the proceedings, but Hoyt was as
steady as several rocks all the way.
Tigers Tally First
The Tigers collected the first run of
the game in the second, two of the
scratchiest sort of hits being respon-
sible. The slugger Heilman popped a
Texas leaguer over first. Meusel,
Ward and Pipp all making futile eff
forts to grab the ball. Blue flied to
Peckinpaugh, but Merritt shot an
other "Texas fly" to right and Heilman
ploughed into second from where he
scored on the only real hit of the inn
ing, a clean-cut single to right from
the bat of Bassler.
The Yanks got this run back in the
fourth despite the fact that Babe Ruth,
as first batter, succumbed to three
strikes. Meusel singled to left and then
stole second. Pipp fouled to Bobby
Jones and next the Mike, previously
mentioned, came through with single
to right which scored Meusel.
In the sixth the busy Mike put his
side one run to the good by his homer,
but in the Tiger eighth Tyrus Cobb
caused another deadlock. He singled
past third and went to second on He'll
mans out, McNally to Pipp. Cobb
danced about around second so fever
;shly that Kid Hoyt made a balk ac-
ccrding to Umpire Chill. and Tyrus
waltzed on to third, whence he counted
on Blues single to center.
Middleton, the successor of Leonard
as the Detroit pitcher, had no trouble
with the Yanks in his first inning, the
seventh, but in the eighth the Hugrnen
pounded the aforesaid Middleton sufti-
ciently to win the ball game.
Ward walked and was sacrificed to
second by the Mike. A rip-snorting
double to left by Wally Schang brought
Ward over the plate and single to
left by Kid Hoyt. Tailed Sehang. The
Tigers were helpless in their ninth in
ming stand, although Pep Young tried
to start something after two men were
out by beating bunt.
The same teams will entertain this
afternoon at the same place, Harry
Hackensack Harper and the elongated
Ehmke looming as the probable hurlers.
Elmer Miller made two great catches,
che in the third of Heilman's bid for a
triple and the other in the eighth off
Bobby Veach.
Although no home run fell to his lot
Babe Ruth compiled 500 batting
average for the afternoon with triple
and single in four times up.
Oddly enough Tyrus Cobb failed to
make put-out in center, but he Sc
cured sufficient exercise in chasing
Ruth's cripple. At the bat Cobb Sc
cured only one hit but he made it
count heavily in the returns.
