pions in the worlds series and conse-
uuentIy the third straight victory ior

having defeated Detroit in 1907 ana
1905.
| To Charles Adams, the phenomenal
young pitcher from the LoulsVlile
American association team, belongs
| the lions share Of the credit for the
victory, and his wonderful ptchlhe
| has crowded Wagner, Leach, Clarke
and the other Pittsburg stars into tne
background. Today's victory was ms
third of the series. and he held De
troit safely through the entire game
| He allowed but six hits ana in onlS
| one inning--the fourth--did Detroll
get more than one safety. Adams al
! lowed only one base on balls ana IN
four innings he retired the hard hit
| ting American leaSuers in one, two,
| three. order.
The crowd was distinctly disap-
pointing. as there were only lh962
paid admissions. 1t was expected that
| the game would break all local at
| tendance records because of its inn
portance. The receipts We're 81 80
and this was divided $1,967.10 10 the
| National commission and $S,S5A.65 to
each club owner.

/ The weather was fa.. from ideas but
was better than that which prevailed
| for the other three games played
| here, The thermometer was close TO
| SO degrees above zero and neither too
cold for the spectators nor for the
players.
The two twirers upon whom De
troit had pinned its faith in winning
the game were lacking when the cru
cial time came wild Bill" Dono-
van lived up to his nickname by
| passing six batters and hitting another
! in the first two innings. while this
lack of control allowed Pittsburg to
score only two runs, it had bad ef-
| feet on the Detroit defense and Pitts
burg scored often after that. Dono-
| van allowed a two-baggcr and a single
| in the third. but a snappy double play
stopped the Pittsburg team from scor-
| ing.
George Muin was sent in TO hat
| for Donovan in the third inning ana
took up the pitching after that. The
| Detroit man was unequal to the task
of pitching four games of the seven
and was easy for the Pittsburs bat
| ters. as Donovan had given them
| their start. Mullin was hit hard in
| the fourth and sixth and Pittsburg
soon piled up commanding lead.
The play was fierce in the early in
| nings but Detroit grew discouraged as
| inning after inning went by and ii
| could not score on Adams while Null
| lin was helpless in holding the Ma
| ti0nal league champions.
Robert Byrne and George Moriarity
were injured in "A collision at first
| base in the first inning and both were
| forced to leave the game although
