Every available inch Of seating
space at the immense ampitheatre
was filled, and when Umpire Johnson
called "Play. Ball" there did not ap-
pear to be room for one more. The
great majority Of spectators were
Pittsburg supporters, abut a large dele

Il Manager Fred Clarke and Tommy
Leach were the tars Of the Pittsburg
aggregation. It was Clarke that broke
the apparently impregnable wall OF
Mullins pitching with a sf' smashing
home run in to the right field bleach
ers III the fourth inning and tied the
score. This smash appeared to take
all thesheart out of the Detroit team
and the scoring was comparatively
easy for Pittsburg after that.
s:sS Leache's sensational catch of a
terrific drive from "Ty'' Cobb's trusty
bat with two. Detroit men ON bases
insthe seventh inning, saved the game.
Leach was playing deep for Cobb but
this drive went almost to the center
field stand and 1t was only after a
hard back run the star was able to
make the thrilling catch. - .sre g.,
Both George Bullin and Charles
Adams pitched admirably and Mullin
allowed only five hits, while the Pitts
burg youngster was hit safely six
times. Adams was unsteady in THE
opening round when he gave two ,bas--'

T. sMullin was a complete enigma to
the locals during the first three In
nings, when he did not allow a hit
and gave but one base on balls.
He had retired two Pittsburg men
In the fourth when Clarke made his
{ corking home run. Delehanty made
:. a ridiculous error at the beginning OF
the fifth inning and Abestine made
three bases on it. This was followed
by a. two Dagger by Gibson and an
other error by Bush, giving Pittsburg
two runs and the game. 1t was not
i Mullins fault, however, as he pitched
a remarkable game throughout.
In the Fifth inning Mullin hit Byrn

his head could be plainly heard, and

After few minutes he was able to
4 get up and trotted to first. + :91l5 4 /.
