Then he would back me around toward them and may: ‘I'll knock him down on you fellows in the next round,’ “Jimmy Clabby and I fought twice,” continued Smith, ‘and each time it rained, Twenty thousand people sat out in the open and were soaked the first time.

Lila -Anivie at Park, Officially Declared Out of Game When Ons- low Goes Up to Bat for Him. —— BY BOZEMAN BULGER. AN the well-informed fan recon- C cile the idea of the greatest baseball player in the world auto- matically putting himself out of a game through ignorance of the rules? Ball players always have been notor- fous for their lack of knowledge of the rule book, tut the fan might be ‘amazed to know that the gutlty person this time is none other than Tyrus Cobb, the fleetfooted citizen of Roys- ton, Ga, Yes, alr, Tyrus didn’t know the rules, and to make mattors worse he forget there was a double-header on the Hill. For a few minutes after the first game of the double-header began with De- trolt old-timers were puzzled at the pecullar moves made by Hughey Jen- nings, When it came time for Cobb to bat in the first inning the young Georgian had not shown up. He was hurriedly getting Into his spangles, and the is not the fastest little dresser in the world, at that. Jennings hesitated for a minute or two and then sent On- slow to bat in Ty's place, After one dall had been pitched Ty was seen hustling across the field. Onslow was immediately withdrawn and Ty was in the act of grabbing a bat when the umpire waved at him to back up, He couldn't get in the game, As long as Onslow had been withdrawn Jennings had to substitute still another batter. This time he sent Zitt to swing for the Georgian. That young gentleman stayed in the game until tt was over, It was finally explained to Cobb and Jennings that as Cobb's name had been sent to the umpire as centrefielder he was officially in the game at the start. ‘Therefore, when Onslow went to bat md ling the Georgian was officially out he game and could not returi When Onslow was taken away he w: also out and the third man had to go through with it. Another reason for this switch was that Onslow is not ap outfielder and some one was needed to play for Cobb in the fleld as well at the bat. Luckily for Tyrus, the game was won through the heavy hitting of George Mullin and Sam Crawford, and he was not needed, Otherwise there would have been a noise on the Tiger bench like the scream of a wounded wolf CRAWFORD’S DRIVE LONGEST OF THE YEAR. Speaking of heavy hitting, it might be of interest to know that Sam Crawford hit the longest drive of the year at the Hilltop when he drove a ball on the ay into the far end of the centre fleld bleachers, Many have bounced {nto that stand during the season's warfare, but this was the first one to tear into the lower end of that stand on the fly, While the hitting of Crawford and Mullin brought home the bacon for the Tigers, a certain New Yorker should b: tossed a laurel wreath or two, Bert Daniels had a field day with the stick, and {f one other clouter had backed aim up the Highlanders might have won hands down, To give everybody a good taste in their mouths at the finish, Rus: went in for the second struggle pitched his ve Ford and y best game of the year, beating the former champs by @ narrow margin.

If the Glants still hold as good a lead when they leave as when they arrived here then thelr chances of winning the pennant are very good indeed, but if the locals sweep the series, then it will look lke @ different proposition entirely. When the New Yorks last visited this city they were some fifteen or sixteen games to the good, and it looked like a sure thing for them to capture the pen- nant. But, like the Tigers of the Amert- *lcan League last year, who got off to a huge lead only to be overtaken early in the race, they have taken an awful slump, and now only a scant six games wall them off from the Cubs, Manager McGraw is confident that his boys will brace and give the fans of this city a sample of the brand of ball they played here on their first visit. The worst they t at that time was a tle game, Itw on their first swing around the cult that the Giants not only throttled the Cubs, but whipped every club for fair, with the exception of the Reds, who defeated them tn the first cwo games of the series, only to dvop the next three and lose first place, which they temporarily held, The Giants have been putting up a listless game of late and uness they d that t 6 e 1 ¢ 0 e Hogan Ill, Bout (Special to The Evening World.)
