WITH TWO ON BASES FANS
CLARKE AND WAGNER.
Detroit Hit when They Counted and
Outplaycd Pirates at Every
Stage.
THE ODDS NOW ARE EVEN.


The temperature was at "a degrees
but 1906 persons braved the freez.
ling blasts and the Detroiters COM
prising the great majority of the
spectators felt well repaid.
The American League champions
outclassed their rivals in every de-
partment of the game and. the pitch
ing of George Mullin was one OF the
brightest hits in the baseball history
Iof Detroit There never was a mo.
ment when Mullin was not absolute
master of the situation and was at
his best with the men on bases. Four
hits represented the ability of the
visitors and no two of these we're
made In the same inning.
Ia Great Feat.
Mullin performed a feat in the
third inning that will live long in the
annals OF baseball. In the third in
ming he struck out the mighty wag-
ner, with two men out and men on
second and third. That was q mighty
feat, but just previously be had
struck out Manager Clarke, a hard
hitter, with men on first and second
A double steal on clark's third
strike moved the men to second and
third, where they were when wag-
lner came TO bat. Lelield was also
victim on strikes in this inning, Civ
ing Mullin three strikeouts in one
session. All told he struck out the
Visitors ten times.
Detroit scored because II was able
to hit when hits spelled runs. Stan
lage, Jennings oungest catcher, dis
tinguished himself in the second in
lining by sending Detroit's first two
runs across the plate with a drive out
of Miller's reach. In the fourth in
ming Bush's ringing double into the
overflow of the crowd in left field
scored another run, and IL was i'm
mediately followed by another two
Dagger into the same place by Cobb
The onslaughts by Detroit In the
second and fourth innings drove Lei
field, the Pittsburg star left handler
from the slab. He was succeeded by
the veteran Phillippi who was able
TO stem the Detroit tide, although
they pressed him hard in the eighth
inning. Eight hits were made by the
Detroits and six Of those came in
two innings when scores were made
Only two were wasted.
Mullin Only Star.
Beside Mullin there was no stars
on the Detroit team, but their en-
semble work was brilliant Every
man did the right thing at the right
time. Only one fielding marred an
otherwise perfect performance
. The cold apparently affected the
Pittsburg fielding far more than It
did Detroit, as the National League
champions put up a miserable exhi-
bition in that department Six err
rors were charged to the lnfield, Alb
stein, Miller and Phillippi each get
ting two. The errors detraet little
credit from Dotroit's performance as
only one of them figured In the scor-
ing.
The conclusive victory OF Detroit
toppled Pittsburg from the position
as favorite In the betting. Even
money is now offered.
The teams left for Pittsburg last
night where the fifth game will be
played today. The sixth game Is
scheduled here Thursday.
Wagner Was Helpless.
Hans Wagner failed to star. At
the bat he was helpless before Null
lin. The first time up he drew a
base on balls, but was forced out at
third. the third inning saw his
memorable strike out, in the sixth
he sent hot liner to Tom Jones In
the field, he had two put outs, and
four assists, but most of them were
easy. His best play came in the
fourth inning, when he fumbled a
grounder by Stanage for a fraction
of a second, recovering quickly and
touched second, forcing Tom Jones
then threw to first in time to double
up Stanage If he had fumbled the
grounder for an appreciate time
longer, Detroit might have had many
more runs as three runs came after
the double play.
Cobb Made One Hit.
Cobb made one hlt-a twobagger
and reached first once when he was
lift by Leifield. The other two times
the Georgia star tried TO beat out
hunts in front of the plate, but Glib
son threw him out both times. In
the field he had only one chance and
accounted IN n oracefuuv
so thoroughly did Mullin do his
work that only six balls were hit to
the outfield. Three OF these were safe
hits, and the other three divided, two
flies TO Crawford and one to Cobb.
After Pittsburg was retired one
two, three in the first session, Wag-
ner drew a base on balls In the sec
ond, Miller struck out. Delehanty
then made the only error for Detroit
when he fumbled Abstein's grounder
and Wagner moved to second. VIII
son hit to Mullin, Wagner was forced
out at third, Mullin TO Moriarity, Glib
son was easy. Mullin TO Tom Jones
