E. PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 13.--
The Pirates are again In the
ascendancy in their race with the
Detroit Tigers for the baseball
championship of the world. BY
winning today's game by score
of to 4, the series now stands
3 to 2 in favor of the aggregation
representing the National league.
The game was replete with sem
sational happenings from begin
ming to end. In the initial session
Davy Jones, the stocky outflelder
of the Tigers, set the Detroit con-
tingent wild by pounding the ball
into the center field bleachers for
a home run. Diminutive Tommy
Leach did his best to break up
the four-bagger by making cir
Gus jump for the pellet, but 1t was
beyond his reach. and Davy Trot-
ted safely over the pan.
Not to be outdone by a Tiger,
Manager Clarke stepped to the
plate in the seventh inning after
Byrne and Leach had singled.
Grabbing his trusty willow the Pr
rate chieftain squared himself and
when Summers threw one over to
his liking his big stick met the
pellet squarely. There was a pop
like the report of rifle and the
ball went sailing into the center
field bleachers. Before Crawford
had recovered 1t Clarke had scam
pered over the pan with Bylne
and Leach ahead of him.
Fans Let Out Great Roar
The Pittsburg fans arose as one
man and let out roar that could
be heard away into the Soho dis
trict.
