The weather was far from ideal for
baseball. but was better than that
which prevailed for the other three
games played here. The thermometer
was close 70 90 degrees above zero, and
neither too cold for the spectators nor
for the players.
"WiId Bill" Was Wild.
The two twirlers upon whom Detroit
had pinned its faith in winning the
great series were lacking when the
critical time camc. wild Biz Donovan
lived up 10 his nickname by passing
six batters and hitting another in the
first two innings. While this lack of
control allowed P:ttsburg to score only
two runs, it had bad effect on the De
trOit defense and Pittsburg scored
often after that.
Donovan allowed a two-bagger and
single in the third, but snappy double
play stopped Pittsburg from scoring
George Mullin was sent in to bat for
Donovan in the third inning and took
up the pitching after that. The Detroit
man NCH uliCQuot W tllC Ndis>iA VI PASS4A
ing four games of the seven and was
easy for the Pittsburg batters after
Donovan had given them their start
Mullin was hit hard in the fourth and
sixth, and Pjttsburg soon piled up 8
commanding lead.
Fierce in Early Innings.
The play was fierce in the early in
nings, but Detroit grew discouraged as
I of
could not score on Adams, while Mullin
was helpless in holding the National
league champions.
Robert Byrne and George MOriarity
were injured in a collision at third base
in the first inning, and both were forced
to leave the game, although Morlarlty
remained until after he had hit two
Dagger In the second.
With Byrne on second and Clarke at bat
in the first, the Pittsburg manager passed
a hit and run signal to Byrne. The third
baseman started for third on the signal
but Clarke missed the ball. Byrne made
a desperate slide for third and his spikes
hit MOriarity in the leg. He was called
out but both men fell to the ground after
the play. 1t was found that Byrne had
spraned ankle and he was carried from
the field. This necessitated a shift in the
Pttsburg team and Leach was shifted o
third base and HYATT went TO center field
Leach played a brilliant game at third,
while Hyatt also did well.
Moriarity's Two-5agger.
Moriaritys leg bothered him. but he re
manned in the game until the next inning
and when he went to bat in the second
he hit d twO-bagger into the right field
crowd, but could hardly limp to second
base. OLeary was sent in to run for MIN
and finished the game at third base.
The WildncSS of the Detroit pltcnerS IS
shown by the record of Fred Clarke. He
had four bases on balls and sacrifice hit
in five times up.
The outlook for Detroit was decidedly
dark from the first ball pitched. 1t could
be seen that Donovan was wild as he
pitched q couple OF balls to Byrne and
then hit him. Leach sacrificed, Donovan
TO Tom Jones, and then came the play at
third which resulted in the injuries TO
Byrne and Moriarity. Clarke drew base
on balls and stole second wagner also
drew a base on balls and Miller forced
Wagner at second. Bush to Delehanty,
ending the inning. The poor work of Don
OVan was even more pronounced in the
second and PittsbuTg was presented with
two runs. Abstein opened by drawing
base on balls and stole second. Wilson
hunted in front if the plate and Abstein
beat the throw to third, while Wilson was
safe on first. Gibson popped to Bush. but
Adams was given another pass and the
bases were full. Hyatt sent q sacrifice
fly to Crawford and Abstein scored.
Leach received another base on balls and
the bases were again filled.
Cobb'S Great Catch.
Still another pass was given to Clarke
and he forced Wilson across the plate.
Cobb saved Detroit by making a great
catch of a hard drive by Wagner.
There was no scoring in the third. but it
was prevented by speedy double play.
Miller opened with a single to center and
went TO third when AbStein drove a two
Dagger into left field Wilson hit a
bOunder to Bush and Bush s throw to
Schmidt caught Miller at the plate. Alb
stein got too far off second base and was
doubled up, Schmidt to Delehanty. Gibson
forced Wilson. Bush to Delehanty and the
inning was ended. Mullin went on the Slab
in the fourth inning, but he was unable to
stem the tide of PittsbuTg. Hyatt drew
a base on balls and moved to second on

both runners along. Mullin to Tom Jones'
