Home Run Won Game.
A home run by Manager Clarke
when Scored Byrne und Leach ahead
OF him, turned the tide of victory to
Pittsburg in the seventh, after De-
troit had tied the score 8 to ), by
scoring two in the sixth.
Ietroit had two home runs to its
credit, but neither came with anyone
on base D, Jones, the first man up
in the first inning, nit the ball into
the enclosure built around the out
field for the overflow. There was no
overflow from the permanent stands
and it appeared easy to hit the ball
over the low fence. Sam Crawford
made the other Detroit home run in
the eighth.
Crawfords home run nearly de-

a brilliant player, Tommy Leach.
Leach chased Crawford's long hit and
while running backward, struck the
low fence The impact of his body
smashed the board ne shot over the
fence head first and turned somer
sault. The crowd groaned as it ap-
peared impossible for the little cen
terfielder to escape injury, as he ap-
peared to be hurt. After a short de-
lay he returned to his place, ap-
parently none the worse.
Charles Adams. the phenomenal
youngster of the Pittsburg team,
achieved the distinction of being the
only pitcher to win twice in the
series by annexing today's game.
Adams clearly outpitched Summers,
who worked the first seven innings
for Detroit, but he was lucky in hav-
ing q behind him hitting, as he al.
lowed the losers four runs, a two
Dagger and two singles, while Sum
mers was hit safely ten times includ-
ing one home run and one double.
Davy Jones' home run gave Detroit
a run in the first inning but Pittsburg
Immediately tied the score because
Summers gave a base on balls with
the bases full. A wild pitch by Sum
mers allowed the second Pttsburg
run to score in the second inning
and another came in the third. The
score remained TO l in ltoittsburg {
favor until the sixth, when Detroit
punched single ard two-baggel
and aided by Wagner's costly bat
throw scored two rals. Then came
Clarkes home run in the seventh anC
the National leaguers assumed a com
manding lead Each team scored one
more run in the eighth inning.
