a speed of 96.4 miles an hour.

“I don't know." was the flrst-sack

plate to bat Schaefer said Hit the flrrft
one a mile* and that looked like a good
Idea, as Schlltzer might be trying to
sneak over a straight one on me.
Whether he tried that or not. I dou't
know. It might have been a spit ball
or n curve. I Just saw It coming and
hit It as hard as I could.” <

THE DETROIT TIMES: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER a6, 1908.
l'he fun, however, of tearing through
he water at such a clip can only be
;uuged by comparison.
The average pleasure launch round
Detroit can be relied on at somewhere
ouud eight mtles an hour. Admiral
surpasses this by as wide a margin
>s Dan Patch would possess in a race
vith the average draught horse. She
;ovs past the average river steamer at
a rate of two feet to one. Seldom In
deed is it that nny automobiilst on the
Belle isle side will risk a chance cf
complaint by the park police in at
tempting to keep pace with the flying
Admiral in the river.
To see the champion of the river
when her pilot puts her helm over
hard at speed is a sight not easily for
gotten. She is surprisingly handy and
whirls around without materially
slat kenlng speed, leaving In her wuke
u wall of white water fully four feet
in height in the wave thrown off by
the outward-turulng side.
With no further opponents left round
Detroit to conquor. Admirals’ owners
will send her to the Palm Beach re
gatta this winter and, with n fair al
Ansvers to Queries.
FAN —Yea, Mr Rossman's
home run was the longest ever
made. It took exactly two and
oue-half minutes and seemed
two and one-half hours.
CONSTANT ATTENDANT—
There can be no doubt of the
batter having been Rosaman.
The crowd got on the field to
verify the fact and all reports
are to the effect that no mis
take was made.
LOCAL BALL PLAYER —
Yes. Mr. Roasman used a regula
tion bat.
ROOTER—We do not now re
call the name of the pitcher. It
begins with a pretzel.
MISS M. B—Yes, Mr. Ross
man is younger than Mr.
Schmidt.
MISS G. E.—Yea, Mr. Rosa
man is single.
MISS E. H.—You will have
to ask Mr. Rosaman.
MISS F. F. —There la a bare
possibility.
MISS H. K —That is a rather
personal matter for Mr. Ross
man to decide himself.
ADMIRER. Grand Haven,
Mich.—No, the ball you found
was not the one. The one Ross
man hit was found here in De
troit later by a Philadelphia
fielder.
MISS A. C.—You might make
your proposition to both Mr.
Rossman and Mr. Schmidt.
MISS L. M. —We understand
Mr. Rosaman is of a home-lov
ing disposition.
How to Get Strong.
P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress at
Chicago, tells of a way to become
strong: He says: "My mother, who
Is old and was very feeble, la deriv
ing ao much benefit from Electric Bit
tera. that I feel it's my duty to tell
those who need a tonic and strength
enlng medicine about It. In my moth
er's case a marked gain in flesh has
resulted. Insomnia has been overcome,
and she is steadily growing strong
er.” Electric Bitters quickly remedy
stomach, liver and kidney complaints.

bring back even more trophies than
fell to the lot of the victorious Gen
eral last year—the craft sent down
by the same gentlemen and which
beat the champion Dixie two races
out of three, though only to have her
colors lowered here this summer by
her successor, after she had passed
into other hands.
It is barely possible that a race may
be arranged for Admiral this fall, her
opponent being the steam yacht Hor-
I net, owned by Dodge Bros. The Ad-
I rairal's owners are anxious to test the
speed of their boat alongside the

round Belle Isle. The Hornet claims
a speed of 33 miles an hour for a
burst of a mile, but a longer distance
would, it is believed, put the gasoline
driven craft on equal terms.
The Admiral will be taken out of her
slip today and loaded on a freighter,
bound for Buffalo, where she will bo

Thomas trophy, emblematic of the
championship of the great lakes, to be
raced for Oct. 3.
BUSH OUT IF
TIGESJIN FLAG
If the Tigers should come through
with a continuation of the spurt that
has put them back Into the American
league race, nnd eventually cop the
flag, the post-season series would see
anew shortstop in line for there is
no chance of little Bush’s appearance
in the big show.
President Navtn was inclined to
think at first that Bush would be
eligible, but lias received a ruling
from Ban Johnson in the matter w hich

TIGERS SERVE NOTICE ON
THEIR PENNANT RIVALS
By PAUL H. BRUBKE.
With the favorite son of Ladoga.
Ind., pitching invincible hall for
19 consecutive innings and the
favorite eon of Phllmont, N. Y.,
topping off the day by a mighty
homes for the only score of the
final combat, the Detroit Tigers
took two games from the Ath
letics yesterday and formally
served notice on the Cleveland
Naps and Chicago So* that they
are atilt to be reckoned with in
the disposal of that American
league pennant.
Two points behind Cleveland, back
' in second place ahead of Chicago, th»*
Tigers today face Eddie Plank and
either Will Hill Donovan or Oeorgle
Winter will do the heuv mg. Clave

with those Washington lerrors and.
if the result Is as we all hope, by the
time Cantillon and his men embark
on the glassy surface of latke Erie
to play their opening game in De
troit. the Tlgee will be back in first
place, play lug at a clip w hich is likely
to keep them there until the fateful
date. Oct. 6 has been passed.
The news of the double victory of
I yesterday struck terror to the breasts
of the Cleveland and Chicago rooters.
IF THERE IS ONE THING WHICH
THE ROOTERS IN THE OTHER
CONTENDrNO CITIES FEAR. FT IS
THE RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS
TO THEIR OLD FORM AND THERE
WAS NO MISTAKING THE INDICA
TIONS OF YESTERDAY.
The Tigers played two great games
of ball and played them as they al
ways play at their best, making their
hits count, speeding round the sacks
with the daring that has made them
the most dangerous team in the league
on the sacks, and, when finesse and
speed failed, slugging their way to a
victory for one long clout.
As for Summers' great pitching. It
can only be said that Eddie was good
at the start and got better In every
Inning he pitched, here was no signs
of weakening at the close and the
great Hoosier looked and acted as if
he could have gone in and pitched an
other game right off the reel.
His appointment to toll in the sec
ond contest was nor the result of any
sporadic request on his part after ho
had won the first. It was a measure
on which Hughle Jennings had deter
mined In the forenoon, provided Ed
die won his expected success in the
first contest. Though he had said
nothing to Summers about his plan,
Hughle watched the way the Athletics
floundered round at the bat and
smiled. Wben the first game was
over Hughle asked Summers if he felt

FOOTBALL SfILONS
HEED TO CAMP
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Representa
tives of all the New England and eaat
ern colleges met laat night at the
Murray Hill hotel to discuss the rules
obtaining In the football game.
Walter Camp, of Yale, presided In the
absence of L. M. Dennis, of Cornell,
chairman of the football rules com
mittee, and the meeting was held un
der the auspices of the central board
of officials of the American Intercol
legiate football rules committee. Dr.
Dennis was unable to be present, but
Dr. J. A. Babbitt, of Hartford, was
there.
Probably no meeting of similar
character has been conducted with so
little dissension; the decisions of Mr.
Camp seemed to hold good with
everybody, and when he was In doubt
they made a memorandum, putting It
up to the rules committee.
The forward pass was discussed In
all its phases, but no change was sug
gested or made In the rules. This is
the pertinent point of the whole seg
slon, and the rules will stand as they
were last year. Various college men
who have acted as umpires In football
games questioned the new rules and
asked for an Interpretation of some of
the rules which seemed to them cap
able of two different Interpretations.
Two Great Kickers Psss.
Os last year's great kickers. Hollen

too much for the nerve of Mr. Kellogg,

era to whale round a few extra runs
an<l enhance their batting averages.
Never before had said Kellogg
•een *uch base running like that
and It was no wonder he came to
the conclusion that there was no
use trying to beat a team that
scored rune on such scant excuse.
Came the second game and dapper
Mr. Schlltzer walked out on the
mound for the Connie Macks, held the
ball up to his face and murmured bis
name at it, the result beluga ooplous
shower of saliva, annotated with
which the ball took all sorts of mys
terious and unexpected shoots on Its
path to the plate.
For nine long innings the Tigers
popped the spltters up into the air
und the Athletics could do no better.
Three scattered hits fell to the lot
of the home crew In the regulation
period and they couldn’t work their
favorite gume because they failed to
get a man to second at a time when
the following Infield out would not
retire the side Schlltzer himself got
tO only lilt ofT Summers in the regu
lar length of game, and, though two
other Athletics got to first, but one
of them got as far as second and
there he perished miserably, his mates
unable to help him.
The scoreboard blazed out the good

Claud swung at the first ball pitched

out in the suburbs Strunk and Mur

fence and started to run. The hall

by a narrow margin and kept going.
Strunk finally caught up with It and
heaved to Barr away out back of sec-'

The Philmont giant was well past
second base when the ball was re

He faltered a bit as he rounded third,

Claud’s progress from third

Tigers In a body. When he com

ing for breath, his team mates
set upon him like so many wolves.
They started to hoist him to their
shoulders and poor Claud had no
strength left to fight them off.
The crowd swarmed down on th#
field and helped. To the club
