Pittsburg, Oct. 8.-The National
league champions won the first game
of the worlds championship series
by the score of 4 to / at Forbes field
today.
After the early innings Detroit was
Outelassed in every department of the
game.
In the first three innings, Detroit
Outplayed the Pittsburgs.
There were 29, 265 paid admissions,
a new record for attendance in a
worlds series game.
Every seat in the amphitheatre was
filled when Umpire tombstone called
"play ball"
Man ager Fred Clarke and Tommy Leach
we're the Pittsburg stars. In the fourth
inning Clarke solved Pitcher Mullins puz-
zling delivery and made smashing home
run hit into the right field bleachers
This tied the score and appeared to take
all the heart out Of Detroit Scoring
was comparatively easy for Pittsburg aft
eT that. LeaChS sensational catch OF
hard drive from Ty CObb's trusty bat,
with two Detroit men on bases, in the
seventh inning, saved the game.
Pitchers Work Well.
Both George MuIlin and Charles Adams
pitched admirably Mullin allowed only
five hits. Adams was hit safely six
times. Adams was unsteady in the open
ing inning, when he gave two bases on
balls and allowed two hits. After that
he steadied and Detroit was not able to
get more than one hit in inning.
Mullin was an enigma to the locals du-
ring the first three innings. In these
he did not allow hit and gave but one
base on balls. He had retired two Pitts
burg men in the fourth. when Clarke
made his home run. Delehanty made
ridiculous error at the beginning OF the
fifth inning and Abstein made three
bases on it, This was followed by a two
Dagger BY Gibson. and another error by
Bush gave Pittsburg two runs and the
game.
In the fifth inning, NIulln hit Byrne
in the head with a pitched ball and il
looked for an instant as if he had knocked
out the little third baseman. The crack
of the ball against Byrne head could
be plainly heard and as he sank to the
ground a murmur of sympathy arose from
the crowd. After a few minutes he was
able to get mp and trotted to first base.
Pirates Outplay Tigers.
Pittsburg played with machine-Iike pre-
cision all the way and Byrne and Gibson
starred with clever bits of fielding.
The presence of the leading batter of
each league-CObb and Wagner-Created
great interest and the work of both men
was closely watched as many bets have
been made as to which will hit the bet
ter during the series Wagner had the
better of il today as he made two
Dagger and was hit i'm four times up,
giving him an average of 1913. Cobb
failed to make a hit, as Leach's fine
catch robbed him Of what was almost a
certain three hagger. Cobb was up four
times and dIe "a base on balls and scored
DetrOits only run.
Cobb also stole a base in the fifth inn
