run home, and Adams tried to make him
go after bad ones Tyrus the Swift
had his wits with him and refused to
be tempted. In consequence. he too
walked. Sam Crawford's part was TO
cut in with the heavy artillery. and
Samuel did land on the ball viciously.
Adams. however. made good stop and
threw 70 Byrne FOR a force OF Jones.
Delehanty shot a clean single TO center
and IL was nuts for Cobb 20 score on the
hit Clarke threw home to catch him,
which was a bad play. for there was
no chance TO get Cobb. and the throw
home allowed Delehanty TO go TO sec
ond. Moriarity hit straight to Wagner,
and would have been thrown out IL the
ball had not struck Delehanty.
First Pirate 10 Reach Bag.
Abstein was the only Pirate who
reached first in the first three innings
A base on balls was the medium OF his
progress. He took big lead OF the bag
and was caught by a lightning throw
from the hawk-eyed 8Iullin.
After the first inning the Detroits could
not prod out more than one safety an
inning. and in addition they ran into
sharp fielding. Byrne squelched Tom
Jones and Schmidt with two slam-bang
scoops in the second inning.
Crawford all but broke the ball in the
third. there being two out at the time
and a great stop by Miller nearly resulted
IN his being thrown out at first base
Byrne enaced Moriarity with another
bizarre pickup IN the fourth, and after
Schmidt had been passed, he was forced
when Miller lurched far forward, but
kept one foot on the bag and held
Wagner's wide throw. Clarke's energetic
rap for the circuit in the fourth was
made with two out, and was the first
time the ball ever has been batted into
the right field seats. The suddenness Of
1t took everybody's breath away momen-
tarily and then came the explosion.
Niagara OF exultant shouting that tried
the strength Of the steel and concrete
stands.
Once in the scoring humor. the Pirates
did not allow the humor 10 pass until
they were comfortably in the lead One
hit and couple OF erratic plays by the
Tigers conspired for two more runs for
them N the fifth.
Goes Through DeIehanty.
Abstein hit TO Delehanty. who was in
front OF the ball. but let Il whistle
through him 70 right center Abstein
scamPered 10 third before Cobb could
lay hands on the pellet. and after VIII
son had been benched on three strikes,
Gibson doubled to center and brought
Abstein home. Adams slid q grounder
70 Bush. who fumbled. and when Byrne
was foored by a pitched ball. which
glanced of his head, the bases were
filed Leach's long fly TO D. Jones
brought Gibson to the plate
The only kick OF the game came in
Detroits half OF the fifth. Cobb reached
first on a force and stole second. Glib
son had to pull down a high pitch be-
fore making his throw and he threw into
the ground. Wagner made a wonderful
one-handed gather Of the ball on the first
bound and hooked It into Cobb. who was
sliding. II looked as ~ the Dutchmnn
had Cobb, but OLoughlin said safe.
Wagner and Clarke kicked for few min
utes. Cobb's steal was useless. Crawford
ending the Inning with foul to Gibson.
Leach dashed in in the sixth and robbed
7. Jones OF a hit with a close-to-the-
ground catch. Wagner doubled into the
left field corner In the second instaIlment
OF the sixth. He was the first man up
He tarried at the second junction while
Miller fouled to Schmidt, but on a bad
throw by Schmidt 10 catch him of the
bag he beat It ponderously but rapidly
10 third. He came in when Absteln hit
in front Of the plate and was thrown
out at first by Schmidt.
