Special Dispatch to The Star.PKTROIT, Mlnh.. August 27..An extremelywell-timed tiu of the derrick by

Mr. CantlUon a'.l but prevented Detroit fromsliding Into first place yesterday, when Itdowned Washington In their third game, 7to 4. For a few minutes In the fifth Inningthe Nationals had tha lead, only to see itget away from them for the rest of thegame, as a result of a batting rally that

entirely unexpected, coming with twoout in the fifth inning, and lasting untilthree runs were over.According to Manager Joe. it was all a

mistake, and will be rectified this afternoonIf tha teams can get on the park. Thislatter is far from a certainty, rain that fellail night making it look as if the finalgame of the series will have to be calledoff.The Nationals played a snappy game, and

a more correct game than Detroit. All ofthe feature stuff that there was. wasshown by Ganiey and Milan. O'l^eary hada very had day. and threatened at varioustimes to toss it off. Oddly eonugh. thoughhe m;«le three glaring mispiays. not onecounted In the runmaking. Detroit used ayoung catcher named Erwin. from Texas,who was south with the cluh this spring.He had been farmed, but was recal.edwhen all of the three backstops of the teamhart their throwing hands put out of commissionlast week

Scared the Tigers.Though Detroit had a good leid at the

finish. Mr. Cantlilon furrowed with carethe brow of many fans along in the waistof the doing. Kxtremely prodigal withpitchi-rs is the leader of the Nationals. He Ihas so many of them with him that mostof th«m would never get a chance if hedidn't use the derrick every other game orbo. That was where he started sadnessyesterday. He opened the game with CharlieSmith In the box. and he yanked thatgent In a hurry at the end of the third,when he thought he saw signs that SieverVia.s becoming hlttab'e, and when there wasBo dou.t>t at all that this condition was trueOf his own flinger.Walter Johnson, the 1OT7 precocious prodigyof tho western wilds, was the person

Who succeeded Mr. Smith, and whose adventfor a time caused grave doubts thatthe Tigers would climb to the top. Mr.Johnson is from Idaho, where he has pitchedan astonishing number of consecutivehut-outs and has gone an un-bellevablonumber of const'cutive hitless innings. Helooked good to Detroit rooters for a coupleOf innings, then he bumped into Wahoo8am Crawford. After that person had puton exhibition the big Ieagu« variety of along distance clout. Mr. Johnson lost hiscomposure for a minute or two. Before heregained It he had been tapped for fourconai-cutlve blngles which netted a total oflght bases. The Tigers had a lead which

they never relinquished.First to Score.

Before Detroit got Into the game the Nationalshad a run. They were set down Inorder In the first, but C. Jones, with one

s out. hit past Cpughlln In the next Inning.Erwln let a pitched ball go through him,and Jones nestled on third when it was reOovered.Altleer made a mighty swing in

~an effort to three-baae It. and chopped theball In front of th« plate. Krwln couldhave thrown him out. but had to guard th.erubber. Jones having started home. Slevertried to scoop the ball up to get Jones, but ICOUldnt makte It. The tally scored. AltizerWas left, the next two being easy.Cobb started the second for Detroit and

took a stroll. He stole second, but the effortwasn't necessary, as Rossman hit sotar Into right that he made three sackseasily. Ty naturally registering. Downs

to be much chance that any one will over- e

tion of Honus in everything but blood, continueshis fast gam« for Jim McGulre as jshortstop of the Pilgrims. In a game of Jthe Detroit series he made two home runs, '

the same being the season's record.

Davis, Crawford. Flick and Cobb are the 'sluggers of the American League. Crawfordleads in triples and Davis in homeruns, while these two. with Unglaub, Cobb Jand Lajoie, are about tied In the numberOf two-foase hits.

It is very probable that by next seasonBresnahan's head will no longer be regarded

1 as a Joke. The humorous tinge about fasthigh inahoots Is fading rapidly. Bowermanhad a close call Friday, and yesterday a ,young man. was killed out on Long Islandby the same kind of a ball.

Charlie Plttlnger, the old Boston pitcher,is a sick man, and it is douht(ul if he evertwfrla another game of ball in the National "

League. He has been paid off In full by '

the Philadelphia club and has retired to tCarlisle, where he has opened a erocerr and ,

restaurant.

Pittsburg has not won a game from PatFlaherty since his return to the "big

p league. They say that Fred Clarke turnshis stockings inside out for luck everytime that Pat goes into the box against hi'steam now. But that charm even has failedto work.

L .

As Bill Kirk rhythmically remarks. It Is acinch to manage a foall clirb from the Vrandstand,but at the same time we would like

: to have somebody make clear to us justwhy, when he has been trying to strengthenthird base all season, Griffith keeps Conroy,a very good thlrd-sacker, In the outHeld.There are a number of fine openings for

' good third taasemen in the National LeagueJust now. The Cubs and the Olants arethe only teams with high-class thi'rd-sackers,(hough St. Louis critics believe that inanother season Bobtoy Byrne will "be acceptedas champion of the last cushion.

1Though we have nothing against htm per- 5sonally, we can't help hoping that Jack jThoney will fall to make good When ha jcomes back Into fast company next season, lWe don't want to add another name to the 1long list of those players wnom Grift \should not have released. (

The IXetroit scorers are accusing their St. .

Louis brothers of fudging on them in the <]matter of base hits for NUes, who Is therival of Cobb and Crawford for batting thonors. From what we have heard atf De- fatrolt, that old saying about the chap who ohas not "done nothin' " himself having the Jright to first shot, applies here. J

a.

What a wonderful pair of ball players De- jtrolt has In Crawford and Cobb. When- jever this pair is not hitting the ball theTigers are out of it. No two players in theAmerican League have won as many games pfor their teams as have these two stars.Most every day one or the other Is drivingIn the winning run or making some sensationalplay In the field. There are othergood players on the I>etrolt team, but the/stand little chance of getting in the tfmeilghtwith Crawford and Cobb doing suchstunts as they have all this season. t
