was really the best base ball day Detroit
has had for this SERIES although it was
a long way from being good base ball
weather.
At the end the injured Moriarity was
surrounded by a crowd Of sympathizers,
and an attempt was made to carry George
Muiln off the field, but the big pitcher
has set Detroit base ball mad again. The
interest in the series was beginning to
wane a bit before the long-dra wn-out
fight and the decisive victory Of Pittsburg
changed. Every one in the city believes
Detroit will be the next worlds cham
pions and capture the title after two I'M
successful attempts against the Chicago
Nationals.
The waning interest in the series was
clearly shown by the fact that only
1885 persons saw the game. The re-

receipts equal 6S.625.5O.
The delay occasioned by Tom Jones' in
jury gave Mullin a hard-earned opportu-

grounded to Crawford. who had succeed

One or the most sensational plays Of the
game was a double made by Schmidt and

Schmidt caught with his back to the
field: Miller started for second after the
catch. but wonderfully fast whip by
Schmidt and great one-handed catch

Miller off second after the Pittsburg man
had made desperate slide.
Schmidt played a wonderfully fine game
all the way and saved Mullins two or
three wild pitches by his marvellous
catches.
The ninth inning rally Of Pittsburg
teemed with tense moments and dramatic
incidents. At one time a. hit meant the
