Detroit, Mich, Oct. 11-Pittsburg
defeated Detroit, s to 6, here today
in one of the most spectacular and
fiercely contested games ever played
in a worlds championship series,
This gives Pittsburg the margin of
two games to one, and the National
league champions are cOTespondingly
happy.
Detroit, however showed in the final
innings of the battle that it is far from
hopelessly beaten. Weather conditions
were frightful Rain fell frequently dur
ing the nine innings, several times in hard
showers of several minutes duration. The
sky was threatening all day and 1t was
so dark during the last two innings that
il was hard for both players and spec
tatOrs to follow the ball. A sharp north
west wind added to the discomfort of the
players and the spectators. Despite
wretched weather the attendance, 1927,
broke all local records for the worlds
series.
Pittsburg Takes Lead.
Pittsburg jumped into the lead imme-
diately by scoring five runs in the first
inning. They batted Summers out of the
box, aided by some poor fielding. Anoth-
er run in the second inning gave Pitts
burg a lead of to o, and the game then
appeared to be safe for the visitors.
Detroit, however, came to the fore with
one of the gamest rallies ever made, and
scored four runs in the seventh inning,
batting Maddox hard and playing like
fiends. With the score to 4, PittsbuTg
connected with some of Works curves in
the ninth for two runs.
With the score to 4 against it, the De
troit team smashed out two more runs in
the last inning. Had Sam Crawford been
able to hit up to his usual mark this
afternoon, there would have been a diff
ferent story to tell.
Detroit Outbatted Pittsburg by a margin
of one hit, getting y TO the winners II.
Summers started for the locals. but was
removed at the end of the first inning.
M1iieIL succeeded MN ana UlU Well ulLll
he was taken out to allow Mcintyre to
bat for him in the seventh. Mcintyre
struck out. Works. who went then, was
lucky in the eighth, after Abstein had
made a two-base hit with but one out.
The next two were easy outs.
Jennings Makes Mistake.
In the ninth, Pittsburg landed on him
for three hits and that Clinched the
game. Had Jennings sent IN a more eX-
perienced pitcher in such a situation, he
might have secured at least q tie.
Maddox was on the rubber for Pitts
burg and was hit hard in the closing inn
ings although Detroit could do nothing
with him i'm the early sessions. When the
American leagUers did start 10 hit him
they landed hard and often, but Manager
Clark left Maddox in because of the lead
his team had.
The mighty Hans Wagner was the star
of the game, but he was forced to share
some of the stellar hOnors with Bush and
Delehanty OF the locals. Wagner made
four hits and stole four bases, although
