 Mullins Pitching a Revelation.
 The American league champions out cla sed the'f rivals in evec.r depart ment of the game and the pitching of George Mullin will make one of the brightest hits in the baseball history of Detroit. It is hard to conceive of any pitcher having his opponents more at his mercy than Mullin had P;t5sburg today. There was never a moment when he was not the absolute master of the situation. He was at his best with men on bases. Four hits repre- sented the ability of the visitors. and no two of those were made in the same inning.
 He Struck Out Ten Men.
 Mullin performed a feat in the third inning that will live long in the annals of baseball. He struck out the mighty Wagner with two out and men on sec OAiO luitus Ddl was d UllRillN feat, but just previously he had struck out Manager Clarke, hard hitter with men on first and second. A double steal on Clarke's third strike moved the men to second and third, where they died with Wagner. Leifield also was victim on strikes in this same inning. giving Mullin three strike outs in one session. All told, he struck out ten men.
 Young Catcher Distinguished Himself
 Detroit scored because it was able to hit when hits spelled runs. Stan age, Jennings young catcher, distin- guished himself in the second inning by sending Detroit's first two runs across the plate with a drive just out of Miller's reach. In the fourth in ming Bush's ringing double into the overflow crowd in the left field scored another run, and it was immediately Followed by another two bagger into the same place by Cobb.
 Brilliant Ensemble Work.
 The onslaught by Detroit in the second and fourth innings drove Lei field from the slab Phillippi, who suc- ceeded him, was able to stem the De- troit tide. though they pressed him hard in the eighth inning Eight hits were made by Detroit and six of these came in the two innings when the scores were made. Only two hits were wasted.
 Aside from Mullin, there were no stars on the Detroit team. but their l ensemble work was brilliant Every man did the right thing at the right 1 time, and only one fielding slip marred the otherwise perfect performance.
 Even Money Now Offered. The cold apparently affected Pitts burg's fielding far more than it did | that of Detroit Six errors were ] stein, Miller and Phillippi each getting | two. Only one of them, however. fig | ured in the scoring The conclusive | victory of Detroit has toppled Pitts burg from its proud position as the | favor1te in the betting and even money Is now being offered. The teams left for Pittsburg tonight and the fifth | game will be played at Forbes field tomorrow. The scene will then shift back to this city, where the sixth game is scheduled for Thursday.
 Detroit Celebrating the Victory
 Detroit is celebrating it's victory in due style tonight. Hans Wagner at bat was helpless before Mullin. The frst time up he was lucky enough to l draw base on balls, but was forced out at third. The third inning saw his strikeout In the sixth he sent a hot liner into Tom Jones' hands. and in the ninth he was an easy out. Moriarty to Tom Jones. His best play of the day came in the fourth inning. when he funbled a grounder by Stan age for the fraction of second, recov- cred quickly and touched second, fore ing Tom Jones, and then threw to first in time to double up Stanage. If he had fumbled the grounder for an ap- preciable time longer, Detroit might have had many more runs, as three runs came after the double play
 Cobb made one hit-a two bagger- and reached third once, when he was hit by Leifield. The other two times the Georgia star tried to beat out ounts in front of the plate, but Gibson threw him out both times. In the Held he had only one chance and &C., septed that gracefully.
 Mullins Thorough Work.
 So thoroughly did Mullin do his work hat there were only six balls hit to he outf1eld. Three of these were safe lits and the other three were divided two flies to Crawford and one to Cobb.
 Detroit. Pittsburo.
