to bat In the second inning It was

handler who was in the box.
Cobb had intended TO pitch Cole
right along, but used Ehmke as a
blind so that Milan would use up
the left.handed batsmen right off
the reel. Cole had been warming up
behind the grandstand, secretly.
The scheme might have worked

control yesterday afternoon and
how far control VIII take q pitcher
was well shown by Mr.. Zachary.
Cole was also good. They scored
two runs off him the fourth az the

other in the fifth because Sammy
Rice did some exceptional base.

over second base.
The average ball player would
have considered himself lucky to get
a single on a soft roller like that
but Rice streaked for second and
what is more, he reached the bag
safely and he scored on Judges hit
to short center.
That Washington has a punch was
shown in the eighth inning. When

Up came Zachary. He had twice
struck out. This time he landed q
terrific blow. He drove the ball

This hit by o left.handed batsman,
put the final touches TO Cole.
Rice, Harris, Judge and Goslin
singled in succession and these four
hits, combined with q wide throw
by Heilman, added four more runs
to the two that Zachary drove In,
making six for the inning.
This right and left-handed bat

handed pitchers, took an awful jolt
yesterday. Joe Judge, who bats
left-handed, made four hits In five
times at bat.
A better illustration was furnished
by Lu Blue. Detroit first baseman.
Blue Is a turn-around batsman' al
ways taking a position at the plate
that is the reverse Of the method of
pitching.
He faced Zachary the first three
times yesterday as q right-handed
batsman and failed to reach first.
He came to bat again irp the ninth
and this time he batted left-handed
and smashed the ball against center
field bleachers. His two-bagger was
the only extra base hit among the
four hits that represents the Detroit
hit total off Zachary.
Among Detroit's heavy batsmen
Cobb was the only one that hit
safely. He singled In the ninth. his
lone safety Of the afternoon. Cobb
switched Veash and Heilmann In
the batting order, having Heilmann
hat fourth and Veach fifth, but that
did not get either Of them hit, and
In the seventh he had Flagstead,
right handed batter, substitute for
Veach. Flagstead also failed.
