SOME OF THE INCIDENTS IN CONTEST OF FRIDAY

The third place is approaching,
Sam, 'tis C, you're doing fine

McIntyre drove home one run. Moriarty made two.
Every man on the Detroit club had at least one hit, with Bush and T. Jones making two.
If Donovan won't have to make a hit for a month to preserve his average he got one yesterday.
Another hoodoo, meaning Ford, disposed of successfully. The Tigers are in line to be the regular hoodoo killers.
Fisher, who succeeded Ford after the active fourth, pitched well. He is a college man who winds up an eight-day clock.

Sommers made a tall throw to the plate by in the second inning, giving them their first run. The ball went to the stands after Morry had hit it into third.

The fielding play of the day was by Daniels in the third. He plucked McIntyre's up-over line left field fence after a hard go. It should have eaten up Fosdick.

Donovan in the ninth, but the wabbly and because Bush did catch it, the scorers counted it a double.

It was a terrible inning for Detroit doing about all the bad things possible in one round. It was forgotten in rush of events in the busy fourth, and all the mistakes were forgiven. After all, the ultimate object of each contest is to win.

A hit-and-run play started the fireworks in the glad fourth portion. Moriarty had singled and started for second on the second ball pitched to Bush. The Rabbit rolled one into right field putting Morry on third, and after that the rest was easy.

Sam Crawford tore around the bases like an express train on his home run in the fourth. He was just passing third when the ball was relayed to the infield but beat the wide throw to the plate. Even had the chuck been straight it is doubtful if he would have perished.

D. Jones revived the old "Baltimore chop" in the sixth inning. He had been having a lot of trouble with Fisher's offerings and fouled four. Then he bounced a high one in front of the plate, and by the time the ball came down, he was so far past first base that Austin made no throw.

Fast work by Tom Jones saved Bill Donovan an error in the eighth inning. Mitchell rolled an easy grounder to the pitcher. He picked it up and smiled in glee to think how easy Mitchell was. Then he made a terribly wild throw to first. T. Jones grasped the ball with his gloved hand and by dint of much stretching, got his foot on the bag ahead of Mitchell.
