PITTsBURG, oct. 14.-The Pirates once
more clashed with the Detroit Tigers on
Forbes Field yesterday and the final tally
was to in favor OF the home team.
The weather was cold enough TO chill the
enthusiasm of all but the real fans. and
as result there were not a few empty
seats IN the park. the crowd not being
more than 5000. The game is the last
that viii be seen In Pittsburg for should
the Tigers beat Pittsburg in Detroit to-
day the series will be again tied up. and
the National Commission decided by lot
that Detroit shall get the odd game II
one is necessary and that It be played
next Saturday.
The fans Of Pittsburg hesitate in their
love to-day. II lies between Clarke and
Adams. The pitching OF Adams was again
superb, he giving Detroit but six hits
and keeping them scattered. It was
Clarke. however. who burst into the lime
light with his bat at the moment when
things looked rather black for the home
team. This was in the seventh inning De-
troit by burst OF speed had just tied the
score and II looked as II tho team had
once more got its batting eye. When
Clarke came to bat he found two runners
ahead and when he got through there
wasn't any one on bases not even him
self. He had scored Byrne and Leach with
a home run drive which landed back Of
Sam Crawford and hoped merrily over
the small fence. After that Detroit had
no chance.

the mighty German had deceived their
players. Wagner was hft in the ribs by
Summers 6nce and fell to the ground
screaming In what afterward proved to
he mock agony. Every player on the
Pittsburg team came rushing up and took
a hand rubbing that sore spot Finally,
leaning on at least four fearful fellow
players. the Dutchman was helped tc
