FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»September 25, 1908: Detroit's Ed Summers pitches two complete-game wins over the A's, winning the opener 7-2 The 2nd game is a 10-inning battle with another rookie Biff Schlitzer that ends 1-0 on a Claude Rossman drive for an inside-the-park home run. Summers allows just two hits. With the White Sox idle, the Tigers move to a half-game out of first.
»June 5, 1909:
The Red Sox ship off pitcher Cy Morgan one day after he turns gun shy on a tag at the plate on Ty Cobb. The Sox get pitcher Biff Schlitzer in exchange. Cobb, on 2B when Morgan tossed a wild pitch, never slowed rounding 3B and headed home. Morgan had the ball in plenty of time for the tag at home, but preferred to stand aside and execute a Veronica instead of blocking the plate. Cobb easily avoided the tag.
