Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
DETROIT. Aug. S.-After winning six
straight games from Cleveland and De-
troit the Yankees finally came cropper
this afternoon In the third game OF their
series with the Tigers and were beaten
to l. Carl Mays. who has lost more
well pitched games this season than any
other pitcher on the slab, let the Tigers
down with nine hits scattered over seven
innings but the Yankees could not hit
George Dauss when a hit might have
scored run and so another heart-break-
ing defeat was registered against the
submarine hurler
George Dauss pitched in opposition to
the big blond Missourian and owed his
victory to the brilliant support he re-
ceived from various members of the
Tiger infield. Cobb, Veach and He'll
mann the Detroit outfielders, made only
two put outs among them. but the in
field turned In all sorts of fancy plays
at the Yankees expense including two
double killings.
The Yanks had numerous chances to
score in the first six rounds but couldn't
do thing until the seventh when they
finally managed to break through and
cancel the one run lead acquired by
the Tigers in the opening round. In the
second half of this inning the Tigers
filled the bases with none out and failed
to score but in the following frame they
collected the winning run on singles by
Cobb and Heilmann.

1t dropped into Cobb's waiting clutches
as he leaned against the bleacher wall.

the ball to first in time to double Pipp.
While falling away from an inshoot
