Dispute
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.


is expected to tackle the Tigers in
today's final game here, with George
Dauss opposing him.
Ty Cobb, manager of the Junga-
leers, may not take part in todays
final combat with the world cham
pions as a result of heated argu-
ment he had in the tenth inning
of yesterdays game. For moment
1t looked as though the fiery Geor-
gian would take a punch at Umpire
Rowland after being ordered from
the field. He refused to go, con-
tinuing his TRADE. Finally Umpire
Moriarty led Cobb away.
The Detroit manager took his
place in the third base coaching
box, keeping his back to Rowland
and it looked for a moment as II
he might get away with 1t, How.
enough to halt proceedings and
wave the Tiger chifetain to the Dug
out.
Dutch Ruether was suspended by
Ban johnson for three days for
doing less than half what Cobb
did yesterday to Umpire Rowland.
The crowd was in an uproar. The
game was delayed fully ten minutes
while Cobb bawled out the umpire
for calling a strike on Larry Wood
all. The ball cut the plate but
Cobb. from the Detroit dugout,
claimed it was outside a foot,
though the batsman was between
him and the ball. If Cobb does
not play today, Heinie Manush will
take his place in midfield.
Walter johnson has donated q
silver cup to the school extension
baseball league of Detroit, to be
awarded to the school boy pitcher
winning the most games during
the season on the Fairgrounds.
: He win present the cup personally
to the youthful winner when he
comes to this city late next
month.
Making but two runs in ten.
innings on ten hits and a walk re-
quires an explanation. That is
what the world champions did yes
terday in defeating the Tigers, to 1.
They simply ran wild on the bases,
adding life to the game and threat
ening apoplexy to the fans.
Manager Harris is tired Of the
lethargic performance Of his team
and decided to shake things up.

run wild, pulling for inaccurate
result, several fine chances were
thrown away. The Tigers refusing
to make bad throws.
\ AS soon as the Griffmen got
lead they began racing on the bases.
In the sixth Rice died at second
stretching an ordinary single to
right. Heilman's peg was perfect
and Tavener was waiting fer the
Griffman. A few moments later
Goslin stole second and tried to
steal third while Whitehill held the
ball. He failed.
In the eighth, Bucky Harris tried
to score from first when Rice
doubled to right center, O'Rourke
relaying Cobbs peg to Bassler in
plenty of time to head him off.
This apparently reckless running
put an added burden upon Stanley
life into the Griffs, something they
had not shown for a week or so.
When the Griffs are in a winning
stride, they are unusually daring on
the bases, McNeely, Harris, Rice,
Goslin, Judge and Bluege keep all
opposing batteries anxiously watch
ing them. once they reach first base.
For a week, however, they have
been sleeping, waiting for hits that
never came. Now. they are to keep
moving.
''We're going to get out of this
slump by hook or crook" says
Bucky Harris. 1--WE haven't been
playing our best ball, know, but
lust watch us from now on. We're
on our way. Even if we lose to-
day, we're going to show some pep
out there"
The world champions have now
won four and lost six games in the
West on this trip. They have four
more to play before going to New
York for three, ending their months
roaming on foreign fields.
"In a sense, I'll be satisfied with
an even break on such a long trip"
says Bucky Harris. Especially with
our pitchers going badly and ouF
best batsmen in a slump. We're co.
ing to keep trying, anyway, you can
gamble on that"
