Detroit Manager Gets Undeserved Panning From fans
and Then Socks Home Rim in Tenth Inning Which
Brings Victory to His Side
By ROlircnT V. MAXWEM,
Pnortu Editor Ermine rublln Lrilsfr
FVX COBB put over a revonge act at
the rolilcUng rawgucrry trom tne inni, (longing n vnconi duuid inncrnrnieij
rown by a person who meant no koo1 nml clinllonRlnjr tbo cnUre center Held
Watchers to come out and fight, tlio Detroit manager went out and won the
kail kunw Tor Li Ride in the tenth inning of n terrible ball game.
For omc reason or other Tyrun was a nelromp ns poison iry yesterday.
Xfa was razzed from the start, and from what we could observe, ho didn't dp
Mrre it. However, Cobb took every thine except the Hying hottlc, and beforn
the game was over h won the most popular player on the field. Even in the
nth Jnulng, when he won the Ktimo, be aB banded cheers when bo slid acrovs
tha home plate
Tjrui stepped up In the tenth with two out and Bush on haso. Hasty
was pitching in his uual form nnd slipped one in tbo groovo. Cobb pasted
It on n lino to oentflr field and Welsh heliled it as he usually fields lino drives
i to center. The rrsutt was n home run, for the ball snllrd between his legs
tad did not come to a htop until it reached the ncoreboard
It was a fitting ondlnjj to the game, which had all the earmarks of a
and-lot contest between u pair of once-a-woek ball tennis Tho A's got off
to a good lead, but couldn't stand proprity. Ther did their best to lose nnd
Anally succeeded
Two runs were scored in the firt fire inning", and then catno tbo bloole
fcJoole stuff One wa out in tht Uth. Brawler on second and Bluo knocked
a fly Into left Wnlker nnd Gallows went nftrr It nnd It fell safe Brnssler
tried to score and Galloway made a perfect throw to the plate Perkins could
kava tagged tho catcher ! hcveral feet, but Kccfe wandered Into tho picture.
and tried to intercept tho throw ISic ball squirted out of his hands nnd
lowed into ihe dugout, allowing both runoera to dent the saucer
In the seventh, three errors in a row gave tbo Tigers their third run.
The visitors couldn't help scoring
Tlit Athletics plaved n raiornb!o gnme nnd dtd everything they shouldn't.
TFild throws, poor head work, bum hitting in tbo plnchfts and Moppy running
Contributed to their defeat.
THEY noted as if thep had atone frtght and plaited hul hiih ichool
baseball Outride nf that nothing can hi sau.
Giants Probably Will Buy Groh
THE) time has come for the New York Giants to make their finai dwe for
the lintlonnl Lenguo pennant Tn a couple of weeks the team will h
atrengthened mntcriallv nnd Pittsburgh will have n fight on It hands.
l'esttrdnv it was announced that Helnlo Groh had signed a contract with
Cincinnati but declared emphatically h would not play with tho Ited". no
signed at the figures submitted by tbo club meaning $10 000 per season.
Heinle wanted 12.000
The understanding Is that Groh will be traded to another club ns soon as
has been reinstated by Judge Landls. Thn Judge Is considering his cao
Sow and probabl will 'render u decision In n couplo of dnvs. Afttr this tho
trading -v 111 be fast and furious nnd the Glnnta will get the star third -sackcr
Last week it became known that Groh was on the market Now York
sjilters boldly predicted he would be with thp Giants, nnd it looks now as if
they were right. The Beds need n few players nnd money principallv th
latter. Tho club is not going good. Is hovering around Inst place and tho gate
receipts have fallen off alarmingly
One magnate is nid to have offered Garry Herrmann J50.000 cash money
far Heinle and no plajers Garry smiled and bhook his head. He wants more
aoagh than that nnd will get it. That brings New York into the ptctirre.
The Giants have tho money and some players which might be needed.
Xiee King and Bentn Knuff and a couple of pitchers might bo ncd In addition
to a blc bale of legal tender. The Chicago Cubs could ue Heinle, and so
eould the Phils and Boston, for that matter However, they cannot compote
with John McGrnw's bankroll, so overvthing Is washed up.
With Heinle nn the hot corner, Buncroft at short, Trisch at second nnd
Kelly at first, New York will have a classy infield Everv man can field and
aockithe pill, which is all that could bo desired. The outfield Is good, nnd the
' same goes for the catching staff McGrnw'b pitchers are not in tho be&t of
shape, but they won't have to be good with that gang of fenee-buMcrs bust
lag the bulb.
McGraw Is likely to be panned and neeuspd of buyiug another pennant.
Villa will be unfair. Tbo manager of the Giants Is willing to spend monoy to
gtt a ball club together and never balks at the amount. Therefore, if ho can
purchase Heinle in the open market against tho bids of the seven other cJube,
saore power to him.
' niTTRBURGH will have some stiff oppatition from tiotc on. The
r Pirates are going good, fiut thep piJ haie to go better than thai
. if Groh dons a Giant uniform.
Stars in Legion Games Tomorrow

CALIFORNIA READY
FOR TIGER EIGHT!
Coach Ben Wallb Says' There
Will Bo No Alibis if Prince
ton Wins
HARDEST WORK IS OVER
Prineelon, N. J., June 3. "My men
are ih the finest possible condition, nnd I
if we lose tomorrow It will simply be
because Princeton is tho better crew." ,
declared TJcn AVnllis. coach of the Cali
fornia eight today. He continued : "We
will hnre no nlibls, and, nltlioimli the
water Is different here from that on the
const, 1t will be just the same for
Princeton as it is for us."
Tho visitors spent their time yester
day practicing on racing stnrts, and
Ynllls said that the hard work of prep
aration is over. Uo nlso divulged tlie
time of their -Ihree-mile trial this week
ns 10:32, which Is considered excel
lent under the wntcr conditions, but
snid'tbat it was at least a minute slower
thnn their regular time in California,
due to tho fresh water of Lako Car
negie. Dr. Duncan Spaeth sent the Prince
ton varsity through only tho lightest of
workouts, fearing tint too much effort
would tiro tho men. Exams and scholas
tic pursuits apparently have been tir
ing the eight, nnd there Is n pronounced
fear on the campus nt Old Nassau that
it may becomo stale.
An evidence of the perfect good feel
ing existing between the two crews was
seen In AVnllls' announcement that to
dav he intends to take Dr. Spneth out
with him to look the "Western giants
over from tho coaching lino launch and
get a lino on them.
