In face of prospective calamity, the
spirit of the Browns was most com
mendable, and in their last two innings
at bat they amassed total Of five
.-uns to turn apparent defeat into VIC
aory. Each side scored in the second;
Detroit on Shorten's fly, following sim
giles by Fothergill and Cutshaw. Sew

lucky seventh the Browns made it all
square again after blanking the Tigers

Veach accounted for the tying run.
Three more in the eighth clinched the
argument for the pennant chasers. Van

plainly had Van Glider on the run now,
for he failed to locate the plate in
three pitches to Cobb. With one run in,

struck out the hard-hitting Veach.
Fothergill lined out and the Sislerless
Browns were still in the hunt.
