Leach's lip contest came in the first game, In rivaling that of Frank Baker in the id admissions, the Tigers and Pirates ore a wildly enthusiastic crowd of Babe Adams, the pitching hero of the championship, had settled down In a slab duel with George Mullin of the Tigers. The Pirates had tied the score in the fourth inning amid a great demonstration. Tiger hope's be gan to fade in the fifth Inning when Abstein drove a hard grounder through Delahanty and Cobb and landed at third base. Detroit hopes Bank still lower when Gibson drove the ball to right center, scoring Ab stein. Bush fumbled Adams' grouhd er and Byrne was given a terrific blow on the head, filling the basis. Leach lifted a long fly to Jones and Gibson scored. That put the Pirates In the lead 3 to 1. Then came the grand opening for the Tigers to win the game. With two out Jones singled and Bush worked Adams for a pass. Ty Cobb came up with the fate of the series lurking In his trusty bat. Jennings yelled "Come on Ty!" and Cobb dug his spikes Into the earth Impatiently waiting for Adams' worst. The Georgian took two healthy swings at vacancy and then ensued a it the victor.

Many of these catches figured as pennant-winning plays of the Giants in 1911. Speed is Devore's greatest asset. He is one of the few ten-second men in the big leagues. His native ability is a ground coverer caught the eye Df John J. M.:Graw, a follower of the speed theory in baseball. Young Josh was a speed boy when he was at high school, where he won laurels on a track team. He was just as speedy when he played in the Cotton States lirftilt in 1906 and 1907.

Catcher Washington Team, Whose Work This Season Has Stamped Him as One of the Great Com Ing Catchers of Baseball. The worst bone-headed play I ever made didn't count against me at all and ronllv won a eame for me. It wasn't the fault of my head that caused us to win, but the fact that in those days I could throw a bit. The thing was as lucky a bit of baseball as I ever saw and it taught one wily old ball player that sometimes It doesn't pay to pull off too many tricks on young ball players. 1 was some what younger than I am now and was working one of my first professional games. I had caught a lot at school, but coming into professional ball made it different. For fear someone will recognize the old player I will not name the club he was with. He saw I was young and a bit nervous, and he commenced as soon as the game Btarted to try to get me -going, hoping I would throw the game aw^y, and how near he came to making me do It only he and I knew until long afterward. By the fifth inning he had me all in the air and be did not stop at anything to keep me there. Luckily our pitcher was going so well that few of their men got on the bases, and I didn't have many chances to throw. I'm certain that if they had started running the bases cm me I would have I Jack Henry. thrown on the line to the outfielders, for he had me bo nervous and angry that I was wild. We were leading them by one run In the ninth inning when, with one out, they got runners on first and third bases and he was noisier and more abusive than ever. He would run up and down in the third base coacher's position, clear In to th? hARe lines and veil at me. I was looking for them to try a double steal and I decided that If they did I'd throw anyhow and to third base, which looked bad as a play. The ball was pitched and the runner started down from first. I guess I shut my eyes and cut loose the ball as hard as I could throw toward third base. That throw was five feet wide and it wouldn't have stopped short of the left field seats, but that monkey of a coacher who had been at me all after noon had run in toward the base line to yell something at me. He dodged, but he couldn't dodge quickly enough. Tlje ball struck him in the middle of the back and rolled away. I thought it was all over and felt pretty sure, until the umpire called out the runner who had scored from third because of the interference of the coacher, and sent the other runner back to first base. The next batter struck out? and I walked down and told that coacher what I thought of him. I also will mm i mux mruwn on purpose lu hit him and that I knew the umpire j would call the runner out. He must have believed me, for never again did he start after me in a game. (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.) Lajole's Defl to Works. When Lajoie saw a statement In one of the Detroit papers that Ralph Works had said that he simply reveled in pitching to hatters like Lajoie, the latter remarked: "I would like to bet eome one that Works cannot get a ball past me into the catcher's mit." j Knight Again Traded.
