 the Betting.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 12--Detroit defeated Pittsburg to today and evened up the count in the worlds championship series, each now hav- ing two victories to its credit.
 The game was played with the mercury at 34 degrees above zero. but 17Os 6persons braved the chill ing temperature and freezing blasts and the great majority of them .elt well repaid for their polar expedition because they were with Detroit.
 The American League champions outclassed their rivals in every de. partment of the game, and the pitch. ing of George Mulin will make one of the brightest hits in the baseball history of Detroit
 It is hard to conceive of any pite-.. CT having his opponents more at his mercy than Mullin had Pittsburg to- day. There was never moment when he was not the absolute master of the situation and he was at his best with men on the bags, Four hits represented the ability of the visitors and no two of these were made In the same inning
 Mullin performed a feat In the third that will live long in the an nals of baseball and was frozen on the minds of those who saw it. In the third he struck out the mighty Wagner with two out and men on second and third.
 That was a mighty feat, but just previously he had struck out Man nger Clark, hard hitter, with men on first and second. A double steal on Clarke's third strike moved the men to second and third, where they were when Wagner came to bat Leifield was also a victim on strikes in the same inning. giving MuGlin three strike-outs in one inning. All told he struck out the visitors ten times.
 Detroit scored because it w9s able to hit when hits meant runs. Stan. age distinguished himself in the sec. ond inning by sending Detroit's first two runs across the plate with a drive out of Miller's reach. In the fourth inning Bush's ringing double into the overflow crowd in left field scored another run and it was imme- diately followed by another two bagger in the same place by Cobb.
 The onslaughts by Detroit in the second and fourth innings drove Lelfeld. Pittsburg's stas left handler, from the slab and he was succeeded by the veteIhn Philippe, who was able to stem the Detroit tide. al. though they pressed him hard in the eighth inning. Eight hits were made by Detroit and six of those came in the two innings when the scores were made. only two being wasted.
 Outside of MulEn there were no stars in ahe Detroit team, but their ensemble work was brilliant and on ly one fielding slip marred an other. wise perfect performance.
 The cold apparently affected Pitts bafss fielding far more than il did Detroits. Six errors we're charged to the Pittsburg inheld, Abstein. Miller and Philippe each getting two. Only one of these errors, however, figured in the scoring of Detroit.
 The victory of Detroit has top pied Pittsburg from its position as favorite in the betting and ever money is now being offered as a more equitable indication of the re lative merits of the two major league champions.
 The teams left for Plttsburs to night and the fifth game will b. played at Forbes .eld tomorrow
