PIRATES WIN BY
SHUT-OUT SCORE
Continued from PAGE ono.

The Pirates won their game right
in the box. No pitcher ever dis
played better form than Adams did
in to-day's game. He was never
in trouble.
Manager Jennings set aside all
precedent when he sent in wild
Bill Donovan to pitch the final
game. Donovan is a hot weather
pitcher. He thrives when the sun
blazes down on the diamond, but
fades and blows away when a cold
wind is on tap.
Jennings took a chance and LOST.
He would have lost if Mullin had
pitched, so he cannot be accused
OF throwing the game away. No
pitching could have beaten the Pr
rates to-day, for Adams was 50
strong that only one run, instead of
eight, would have been needed to
win the game.
Donovan on Color.
Donovan worked Ike the veriest minor
league pitcher in the :hree innings he
was permitted TO occupy the center OF the
stage. He passed six men. four Of them
in the second inning. hit one man. and
allowed two hits. the whole being good
for two runs
Mullin succeeded Hm in the fourth and
did little better. He. was steadier. but
the Pirates found his delivery easy 70
solve. and six moro runs were garnered
by Clarke's lusty club swingers.
Fred Clarke achieved the ambition OF
his life when his team defeated the De-
troit club.
Hughey Jennings is the saddest man in
Detroit The game little manager felt
certain his team would win the series
after its splendid showing IN the early
games. TO-days defeat was the third
successive one sustained by the Tigers
in the worlds series clashes.
They lost TO the Cubs in 1907 and 1905.
Jennings figured the Pirates we're not as
strong as the Cubs and was right. but
they proved to be just strong enough TO
win from his doughty crew.
Cobb and Crawford had failed to hit the
ball safely all day. and Bush had done no
better Deiehanty alone had kept up the
remarkable batting record he had made
all through the series. The Others were
batting weakly and inemectively, their
few hits coming at a time when no in
jury could be done TO the row OF ciphers
which Adams kept compelling them 10

field
Miller Real Batter.
Miller the Pirates second sacker. was
the real batting star OF the day. He OBJ
tanned two hits. the second OF which
came with men on bases. and at a time
that was most appropriate. sending as It
did two Pittsburg runners across the
plate and making the game virtually safe
Tor the Pirates.
The game contained little OF the fielding
features which marked several prior con-
tests OF the series. Wagner made a SEN
satiOnal stop or two and whacked out the
only three-base hit OF the whole series. a
| drive responsible for three OF the Pirates
runs, scored. however, after the game
had been won by his team beyond. ap-
parcntly, the peradventure OF doubt.
The first inning was marked by q
collision at third base. In which Byrne.
sliding into Moriarity, sPrained an ankle
and gave Moriarity such a bump that he
was in no shape TO play, and though he
attempted TO remain, was taken on the
| Geld IN the following inning, OLeary
playing at third through the remainder OF
the game.
! Manager Clarke had intended TO start
| Hyatt at first base IN place Of Abstein. on
account OF the latter's bone-head plays
on the sack. but changed his batting
order after the Injury, sending Hyatt to
| center field. Leach to third. and Absteiu
