MIGHTY HANS AWGNER IS PIT TED AGAINST TYRus COBB AS
 CENTER OF INTEREST.
MuIin and Adams In Splendid Mound Duel and Pirates Only Won Through Their Superior Team
 Work.

Pittsburg, Oct S.-Pittsburg, the National League champions, won the i first game of the worlds champion ship series by the score of to 1 at Forbes Field today.
 l After the early innings Detroit was outclassed in every department of the game, although in the first three ses- sions, the American Leaguers out played their opponents.
 An immense crowd-29, ,265 paid ad- missions-a new record for attend ance in world series game, witness ed the exciting battle. Every avail able inch of seating space at the i'm mense amphitheater was filled and when Umpire Johnstone called "Play Ball" there did not appear to be room for one more.
 The great majority of the spectators were Pitsburg supporters but large delegation of Detroit enthusiasts made a creditable showing with plenty of noise in the early innings. i Manager Fred Clarke and Tommy Leach were the stars of the Pittsburg aggregation It was Clarke who broke the apparently impregnable wall of Mullins wonderful pitching with Q smashing homerun into the right field bleachers in the fourth inning and tied the score. This smash appeared to take all the heart out of the Detroit team and scoring was comparatively easy fer Pittsburg after that. Leach's sensational catch of ter rife drive from Ty Cobbs trusty bat, with two Detroit men on bases in the seventh inning saved the game. Leach was playing deep for Cobb, but this drive went almost to the center field stand and 1t was only after a hard backward run that the diminutive star was able to make the thrilling catch. Both George Mullin and Charles Adams pitched admirable ball and Muilin allowed only five hits while the Pittsburg youngster was hit safely six times.
 Adams was unsteady in the opening round when he gave two bases on balls and allowed two hits. After that he s.eadied and Detroit was not able to get more than one hit in an inn ing.
 ] Mullin was a complete enigma to the locals during the first three inn ings, when he did not allow hit and gave but one base on balls. He had retired two Pittsburg men in the fourth when Clarke made his corldng home run. Delehanty made ridieu- lous error at the beginning of the fifth inning and Abstein made three bases on it. This was followed by two bagger by Gibson and another error by Bush gave Pittsburg two runs and the game.
 i, It was not Mullins fault, however. as he pitched a remarkable game throughout.
 In the fifth. inning, Mullin hit Byrne in the head with a pitched ball and 1t looked for an instant as though he had knocked out the little third base man. The crack of the ball against Byrne's head could be plainly heard and as he sank to the ground mar mur of sympathy arose from the crowd. After few minutes he was able to get up and trotted to first ] Pittsburg played with machine like precision all the way and never ap- peared at loss to know what to do. In the field the work of the winners fairly shone at times.
