HE|3hy when tbe Chicago While So* set atxmt the i*~k of p» ->te! ng it
P jTtogtrolt asm had a Chance to win that ball game Our a’hlete* dashed
and yipped to high heaven, but they just butted tbelr be*d»
atael bnra. Finally they discovered that thev were up against a
amntnt and while they wanted to win badly -nough and tried
they began to lunge at bad ball* ar and m «** v * ra! * " > * rev eal* u
EEttffEywefe caged by an unpenetrable defense and knew it.
E jrhttje affair very diatreaslng. In the second toning Hap

i More Misfortune
MV* the fourth canto. Weaver was safe on the welrdeat blow that ever sue-
Is ceeded on a grass diamond The ball bounded so high that Jones
- but too late for a
r £|ny Stehalk successfully worked the hit and run, and another tally
HttMi when Scott hit to right field so strangely that Rlghifielder Cobh
E»t jlMBy at firat bane by an easy margin -another play that Isn’t
Sm a UMoa. In the fifth Joe Jackson mighty swatster for whom

moll Young That hit was manufactured Into a run. Then k illle

f. might and the more soundly thumped pill* were easily gobbled
M loml * dnfnnst
ta while the Tigers hit Jim Hcott with robust swing*, and the harder
, tbs ball, tbs deeper they got into trouble Nothing that amounted
llgg |a a scoring way went safe, except some pink tes rollers, ala
|bat Cobb sorvsd up in disgust, best out snd turned into a pair of
mm •
Em only one real pleaatng incident during the whole contest
Ipsnrnr first went to bat. some Chicago-tainted fan In million
ily and sarcastically sneered st him with this remark. And
’ n y*r corns hack" No sooner had the rooting morsel been
I Hack crashed the ball imo the centerfl-id bleacher wa!: for
triple. That ball very nearly didn't come back Never was
ora tboroiy rebuked
The L«ek of Cieotte
B the freeholder* of Detroit are compelled to view the White
I m i whole with suspicion snd alarm, thev all are rejoicing
tb their fellow townsman. Eddie Clcoite. at the good fortune
defc has befallen him At the' venerable age of at least S3 years.
1 bis tout no-hit. no ryn game of baseball Saturday. The St
l wore his victims and w e are told that th* performance was
rtfllaat In every respect The Frenchman ha* been threaten
milling like this for several year* Last season he got sway
t game against the Yankee* and a three-blow churkfest with
{Soday tn I*ls be held New York to a pair of safeties.
gt Always lucky when twirling in his home town, but he is
graat pitchers of the day Eddie started out In the Copper
■Cw || lfi#4 *■** for JLWO seasons he was Tiger property, drifting about
'dm* minora without making much of a record for himself In 1907 he was
K« f br*“ Neb He shewed class there and in 19"* he was claimed by
iIE2. While Eddie pitched fine ball for the Red Sox. he never had
IwfiE labk winning games and tn 1912. the White Sox got him for the
jjjm&var price. In lfill he was a big winner In 1914 he ranked high from
unmed run standpoint, but wasn't a game winner. In 1915 he appeared
P*' * a ywmr ago last March. Cieotte went to camp witb the public promise
was gi**«g to get into such condition that he would make the
|%lNln league play dead At the age of 32 year*. Eddie came back so
MitaWgfr that last season he won 17 games and lost only seven, and turned
|km earned rnn average that ranked him second only to Ruth among the
ML,gf tbs league. Cieotte has earned a place in the hall of fame Thai
KgMeket thereto should come on the occasion of bia 1917 debut makes the
■Slpvement doubly gratifying and significant
A gu—pee of BUI Donovan when he discovered that Cieotte is pitching
'WAHA games this year would have been worth several shekels. Eddie
urallnped the Yanks only seven time* last season- the most complete
S|aiUt7 ovar one club any pitcher In the league could boast.
A Quaker Tally-fwt
V*I|AfiEBALJ fans in Philadelphia—ls any sucb there are these lean
ml gays will cherish the memory of April 14. 1915. That day gave
m m the Quaker* the first baseball thriller they haw enjoyed *mre
!- ■ October I, 1916. when Grover Alexander sheared the Red Sox with
•Ito 1 victory in the first gam* of a world series Th* Phillies and
between them Saturday coined 37 base htts worth 49 bases and
,gWMI strolls Into 37 tallies Between them in the eighth and ninth innings
> sis their games, they manufactured 19 runs
B During these hectic moments one Roy Hates, late of the Coast league,
tffgfi now Frank Baker's successor at Mack's torrid turn, horned into the
ihfildf fame with a stunt that was super Baker**W e. Bates smote four hits
|U five times at hat. Three were triples and one was a double These
fiMMs ehasetrhuaoe seven runs, and five of them were achieved In tbe
nsvsath frame, when the rookie bumped the bead pin for a triple and a
Mdlv significant thing about this tally not at Philadelphia was
hat the victim tn-chlef wa* pred Jann* n TM* fellow wen*
cion from Buffalo la.*', ve.a < • n <. :-n. ! Alk i' the
Nationals signed a pitcher named Ram Rice Clark Griffith
that he was going to make a pitcher of Jamieson and an out

That Busy Yank Jinx
finratloe of the fart that Cappy Huston of the Yankee* is th<
Ura4 lad who induced tbe American league to take up prepared
la spectacular fashion, f’nrle Sim should at once assign a Red
viw. division to Bill Donovan •» brigade Before the season was a
nßfinfc old, tbe Yanks cruised back Into tbe jinx mine field, and Prank
riser's left thumb was blasted Into two parts Baker will be out for a
fltth s- the result of s pitched hail that nicked bis band snd Bill's Infield
40 fitreedy shot to little bits. •
This accident to Baker may put the Donovanite* out of the pennant
P fifigfi. That th« home run king will be missing from the battle line during
. a Month when the Yankees expected to ge* a flying start la important tn

DETROIT TIMES
The Greatest Play.
\*ou hay* all heard of the great
est play, perhaps Hooper's rate! e*
in the world's series, for instance.
W’ell. this la about a gnater plsy
than any you ever heard of. It Is
a bit of baseball as they play ft in
Euro;*-- the no * -;»* <Ut lar and
dingerous catch of a ball possible,
lo err is to die.
A bit of explanation first: Hand
gienades, the most effective weanon
in trench warfare, are vicious aud
deadly little bombs, usually resem
bling a baceball In i-hap* and site.
They explode by a time fuse which
is Ignited by pullirz a string Just
before they are hurled over into the
en»my's trench The time before
the explosion after the fuse is light
ed Is four seconds The explosion
is tremendous snd the grenade i«
deadly thruout a radius of 20 or 40
fret.
BRICKLAYERS AND
PACKARDS MUST
PLAY GAME OVER
The Michigan cup competition
e.ti.ong the soccer folks is as iar
f “oni a decision as 1/ there had be»rt
no gam* Sunday. The Bricklayers
snd the Packards met on the Pa'V
aid field yesterday and played a 1
to 1 contest. The Packards held a
lead at the end of the first half
thanks to the work of Mercer, b;t
Kay tied the count In the second
ression by a fine bit of scoring play
Efforts are being made to organ
