DETROIT. Mich. July ia five run
lead by the Tigers evaporated quickly
before a Yankee attack in force in the
fifth inning to-day. The Yankees made
seven runs in that inning and won the
game to 5. 1t made them fight all
the harder when they saw the score
board show nine runs for Washington
in Cleveland and they had high time
euying a ring Of fans who had been
guy,nF them. The fans had no repartee
left when the laugh was turned on
them.
The victory put the Yankees within
game of the Indians. and was prob
ably the seasons record for length. AL
though only nine innings. it went two
hours and forty-fve minutes. 1t was
a scrapping, wrangling affair, poorly
played by the Yankees in the early
innings. and with much changing of
pitchers and snaring at umpires.
In the latter par, the Yankees
travelled fast and sure. Jack Quinn
pitched a superfine game after Collins
had faltered and failed. Quinn pitched
with a stout heart, quelled the Wolverine
sluggers when mer were en- bases and
worked smoothly and with serene
nerve. He swung a potent mace too.
He batted in two runs and 1t was moth
ing but lean innings for the Striped
Cobbian providers after Jack. the moist
ball virtuoso. mounted the ridge.
wild throw by Schang let the
Tigers through with run in the first
inning. 1t was made in conjunction
with double steal. Schang knew the
ba
pitchout then threw to centre field
Collins was wild and time wasting in
his pitching. Two men he walked, Veach
and Heilman,n scored on ground hits
coupled with low throw by Peck
Collins pitched to all nine men before
tie side was retired. On New Yorks
part it was a very messy first inning.
Yankees Do Better.
The Yankees In the next assault recov-
cred a run on a double by Pipp into
the centre field crowd and a single by
Ward. Pipp has been hitting splendidly
On this trip. After Wards single
Schang hit into a double play. That Is
another thing the Yankees have been
doing expertly on this trip.
The YanXs in the home second had a
double steal stopped dead until Schang
Peck played his part of it with poor
judgment. for he could have tagged the
man coming 20 second before the other
Tiger was half way home. 1t was poor
thinking by Peck and let in Il run. The
first four rms by Detroit were made
with two out and largely by faulty plays
on the double steal.
Meusers error let Detroit run
through in the third. He fumbled hit
and let a runner go to third who had
pulled up ut second. Bushs fly to Ruth
brought that runner home and with the
fifth run 70 De made with two out. AS
a pinch hitter In the fourth and after
Ward and Schang had singled. Hawks
struck out on a curve inside the plate.
Quinn took the pitching billet and
Biff-o Shorten and veach spanked him
for singles But he struck out Heilman
and was entitled to double play when
Ward threw Shorten out at the plate
and Schang tossed to Baker in time to
nip a runner. But Connolly made
fright of a decision and called the rum
ner safe. Next Chill lost count of the
count on Blue and walked him. when In
reality Quinn had thrown three balls
and one strike. He got one count from
The press stand. but also got another
one from there and let the incorrect and
original computation stand. No dam
age resulted as Jones grounded to Pipp.
The winning Rally.
In the itch Parks went the way of
Collins. Fewster doubled. Peck and
Ruth walked and Baker singled. Two
runs. Meusel walked and Middleton, ex-
Giant. relieved Parks. Pipp singled.
Two more runs. Score tied, nobody out,
two on. Ward popped to Jones. Schang
walked: Quinn's single rounded up two
more runs. They we're coming In twos.
Fewster walked. Peck up. He struck
out on a curve. Ruth up. Missed
curve. Scnaag scored on a passed ball
by fine running. Ruth popped to Shor-
ten. Ten conservatives times at bat for
him without a hit, though including two
walks.
The YanSs caught a tough bird in
Oldham. he southpaw Of the flaming
thatch. but had downright tough luck
in the seventh. Ward singled and was
forced when Bush collared Schang's
blistering hit for a corking double play.
Quinn doubled into the right field crowd
and was left when Fewster let a third
strike shoot over. Fewster growled. but
the Jump. vas quite right.
Rath popped an Insignificant fly In
the eighth after two wild and hectic
swings. His vision seemed to be blurred.
Baker and Meusel. who had walked
worked a double steal while Oldham
held the oall. but Pipp's worthy effort
was shared in deep centre by Shorten.
Ward made a play fast as light on
veach's slow grasser In the eighth, and
4. helped nightly. for two singles fol-
lowed 1t. Quinn was steady In the
pinches. One was cut and men were on
second and third. but he hung them up.
Guess who batted for Oldham In the
ninth. Tyrus himself. Ward threw
him out. The score:
