10 The Bronchos and Detroit Tigers Are In the Game For Blood Today I THE TIGERS WERE BEATEN BE OWN MEN Detroit Backstop Schmidt Scores the Only Run That Was Made In Game. * ISAPRETTY EXHIBITION The Indians Played Without a Bungle and They Clouted Ball Hard and Often. — When the Tigers and the Indians took their places on the ball field at Electric park yesterday afternoon the fans set tled back into their seats expecting to tee a real classy article of the national ' game. And they were not disappointed. The game was there with all the trim taings. But one thing some of the fans pould not understand is how the In- Ci an* happened to win. The easiest explanation for this is that the American associationers hit the ball and put up a gilt-edged game in the field, while the leaguers were pitifully helpless at the bat and Hungled awfully when they got their tinds on the ball, especially Ownie ush, who is chalked up with three knisenee. Oh, yes. things like this will happen, ■ven for champions, and yesterday fchey happened to the Tigers. While the Indians scored the lone tally in the game, it could not by any means be called an American tion victory, for sprinkled in the In ctianapolis line up were several Detroit players, namely Schmidt, Drake and Lister, and it was Schmidt who scored the run for the Indians. It was not until the ninth inning that the run was scored. With one down Bchmidt drove the ball to Bush, which got away from the little shortstop, Schmidt going to second. After March had popped to O'Leary. Williams met the ball on the nose and drove it to left field for a hit, Schmidt Coming in on the hit and ending the game. The score: Detroit— A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

And if all goes well with Mr. Jones and the comet, there will be a double celebration at 1834 Prairie avenue on the 26th of next May. One part of tho celebration will be in honor of the ninetieth anniversary of Mr. Junes' birth and the other in honor of tho first recurrence of his views of the long-awaited comet. “Yes, I remember Halley's eomot," said Mr. Jones last night. “As 1 re member, it was visible in Chicago for about two weeks. It- did not create much excitement among the white popu lation, but the Indians wore greatly affected by the phenomenon. All the I tribes in the northcrit part of Illinois wore called together and special cere 'monies in preparation for the heavenly | visitor were indulged in by the red i men. “I was fifteen years old at the time crowd remained remarkr.bly quiet.

Today's game between the Bron chos and tho Tigers promises to be one of the most exciting contests wit nessed on a local diamond in a long, long time. Since the Bronchos waltzed away with the Tigers last Sunday by a score of 4 to 3 the fans have become quite chesty, and good reason had they for feeling so proud. The Tigers have been a little sore over the beating they got aud they are not over it yet. And they won’t be until they are able to show tho Bronchos how much they lack of be ing world-beaters. It is with this ob ject in view that the Tigers will take the field against tho Bronchos this afternoon. That the Bronchos will put forth their supreme r/Torts to show that last Sunday’s victory was not an ac cident goes without saying, and with tho Tigers in the game to beat the Texas leaguers to frazzle it’s a cinch there will be something doing. While the kindliest feelings exist between fhe players on both sides when off tho field, a complete trans formation comes over them when they slip into their baseball togs and do battle on the diamond. It’s to win they will play for, and anything -o get the runs will be the slogan today.; At the same time the game will be played according to the rules. WITH THE FIGHTERS.
