DETROIT, Mich. October 13-Base ball
framed was on the Detroit bill of fare
YESTERDAY, and the Michiganders managed
to plow home through the snow winner.
1t wasn't a plain victory. either; II was
shutout for the Pittsburg champions, the
final tally being : to o. Matters are now
even in games won between the TWO
champion teams, and Pittsburg Will be
forced to return to Detroit tonight after
the game at Pittsburg.
Things look different from Monday night
very much different. In fact, 1t Is not al
all hard TO get bets that Detroit will win
the championship. and the Detroit people
are picking I'D courage enough to wager
even money at least, and some are giving
q shade the best of the betting to the
other fellow
There Is, perhaps. no better cOld-Weatler
pitcher in either league than George Null
Iin and yesterday he had the Pittsburgers
at his mercy in the snow. 1t was not get
ting any warmer in Detroit last night. and
the weather person says II will be much
colder when the Pittsburgs return Thurs
day morning, and that means Mr. Cold
weather Mullin once again against Pitts
burg Thursday. He began to groom last
night for the game of Thursday, Jennings
ordering him to remain at home and keep

Pirates Not in Arctic League.
With one game to the good and with
Leifield. who was supposed to 60 some
himself in a snowstorm, Pirate rooters
thought 1t a shame to take any more
Detroit money. True, the air was filled
wit Ia Kos h1lt ura
double uniforms that the Pittsburg play
ers could keep warm enough to drag out
another victory yesterday. and 1t was
further figured that the knockout punch
would be handed the Tigers by Adams
today in Pittsburg. Things didn't break
just right. however, and as the weather
got colder the hopes of PittsburE went
down I'm proportion. for while the Pirites
are good mud horses. they never did ask
entry TO the Arctic League.
After a great rush on the heavy-under-
wear department OF the clothing stores
of Detroit about $4,000 bugs skated
through a snowstorm to Bennett Park

fray by Clarke and in he went. while the
rest of the team shivered. Mullin was or
dered by Jennings to go In. and ne uid'
he staid there. too, and didn't allow PFts-
burg to ever get dangerous. On the other
hand I-eifield was chased after four IN

and there you are. The game ended with

Trouble Begins in Second.
Leifeld began his bad work in the first
inning by hitting Cobb with pitched
ball. and then made nice effort to re-
trieve his own error by getting tn"
Georgia peach off first He had Ty by
ten feet. but Abstein, who was bad medi-
cine yesterday for Pittsburg. made an
other blunder. dropped the throw and
the feet Cobb slid into second.
II was in the second inning that the
Detroits did their first damage. Leif1eld
was still wild and hit Delehanty. the
first man up Moriarity now lifted
Texas Lacquer into left. for which every
body ran. but no one got. In the mean
time Delehanty was blowing to third.
Tom Jones forced Delehanty at the plate,
but the second basemar managed to stall
long enough to pull Moriarity to third and
Tom Jones to second. Stanage who was
making his first appearance in the world s
series. got a great hand when he came
to the plate. Few times has ball been
hit harder than Stanage snote 1t. Miller

ball spun him clean around and he land

on into the field. The thousands of half
frozen Detroit rooters went mad as both
Moriarity and Tom Jones came tearing
over the plate. No more damage was
done in this inning.
Wagner Whiffs Circumambient.
In the third Mullin earned his right
TO have his picture in the Hall of
Fame by striking out both Wagner and
Clarke. He also struck Leifield out.
The inning was somewhat tempestuous.
