Pittsburg. Oct 1S-Smoky City fans

reversal of form and slew the Tigers by
s 70 in the fifth game of the series for
the worlds championship. The Corsairs'
victory was their third OF the set. and
II they win in Detroit tomorrow the
series viii end
The result Of the contest was a sad
disappointment TO the followers OF the
Jungleites, who for the second time were
laid low by Babe" Adams. The recruit
from the American Association was hit
harder by the Bengals than in the first
game. but he nevertheless pitched a classy

Two Of Detroit's hits were FOR the cir
cult. Davy Jones inaugurating the game
by polling a drive good for all four
bases. sam Crawford started for the
grand tour in the eighth inning, both
loop-the-loop smashes being made when

mers in against the Pirates. The Medi-
cine Man lasted longer than he did in
Detroit on Monday. not being derricked

Angry at Jennings.
Detroit rooters who saw the game are
panning Jennings tonight for using
Summers.
He troubled the Corsairs only In part
Of the game. At the start he was wild
and his inaccuracy was responsible for
the first two of the Pittsburg's runs. In
the opening session Summers forced
Byrne over the plate by issuing pass
to Absteln and in the second round Glib
son was wild pitched home.
In the third inning Clarke reached the
getaway sack on a complimentary ticket,
while in the seventh Wagner. who scored
the fourth run of that inning. got on the
paths through being hit by pitched ball.

Adams pitched a clever game for the
Pirates. His command was better than
Summers ard he did not exhibit alarm
when Davy Jones and Sam Crawford hit
him for home runs. Only one Tiger re-
ceived transportation from the youthful

Wagner had batting average for tht
