 A homes run by Manager Clark. whichl se6reiis Byrne, and Leacht in sfronta Of hfnis turned the tide of Victory to Pittsburg in the seventh inning after Detroit had tied the
 score at to by scoring two in the sixth. Detroit had two home runs. to its credit but neither came with
 any one on bases. J. D. Jones, the
 first man up in the first inning, hit the ball into the enclosure which had been built around the outfield for
 the overflow. sam Crawford made , the other Detroit home run in the eighth Crawford's home run nearly deprived Pittsburg of the services of the brilliant Tommy Leach. Leach chased Crawford's long hit and while running backwards at a good clip struck the low fence. The impact
 smashed the boards and he shot over the fence head first A groan went up from the crowd as it appeared impossible for the little center fielder to escape injury. After short de- lay he returned to his place appar- ently none the worse for his mishap. Adams of Pittsburg achieved the | distinction of being the only pitcher
 to win twice in the series by annex | ing tOdays game. Adams clearly
 outpitched Summers, who twirled the | first seven innings for Detroit, but he was lucky in having a good team behind him hitting as he allowed to | lose only four runs. Adams allowed | six hits. two home runs, two two baggers. and two singles. while Sum | mers was hit safely ten times in-
 cluding one homerun and double. | Davy Jones' home run gave De- | troit a run in the first but Pitts burg immediately tied the score be- | cause Summers gave a base on balls | with the bases full. A wild pitch by ! Summers allowed the second Pitts burg run to score in the second and another run in the third. The score remained 3 to 1 in Pittsburg's favor until the sixth when Detroit punched a single and a two bagger and aided j by Wagner's costly bad throw, scored | two runs Then came Ciark's home run in the seventh and the National iLeaguers assumed a commanding lead. Each team scored one more in the , eighth inning.
 Wagner had a bad day in the field making two errors in five chances. His first misplay was a bad throw of
 Delehantys grounder in the sixth and it allowed Crawford to score from second. His other error was huff of Tom Jones' pop fly into short left in the ninth.
 | At bat, Wagner mat1e one hit Tn four times up but reached first three times. The first time he drew a base on balls but was left on sec ond. and in the third he singled to
 left but was on third when the in T ming ended. In the fifth he was an easy out and in the seventh he was hit in the back by a pitched ball He dropped to the ground and was
 evidently in great pain but he soon
 recovered and trotted to first base Cobb made only one hit, single tc left ins the sixth.
