Today's Batting Order.

DETROIT, Mich. October 16-What is
believed to be the largest crowd that
ever saw base ball game in Detroit
went out to Bennett Park today to wit
ness the seventh and decisive game of
the worlds base ball championship series
between Pittsburg and Detroit teams.
1t was evident at an early hour this
morning that one of the biggest crowds,
If not the biggest. that had ever assailed
the local ball park in an endeavor to
witness ball game would strive to OBJ
tain admittance at the portals of the
rather cramped quarters of the Tigers.
All during the night the lines had formed,
swinging away from the ticket booths
down the adjoining streets until 1t was
utterly impossible for the force of police
at hand to maintain order.
Today there nothing left to be sold
but pavilion seats and general admission.
The local management had had a force
Of men busy the greater part of yesterday
preparing the stands for the game. Ropes
were stretched around the outfield to keep
the overflow of rooters from getting toe
near the playing field.
Betting Even.
The teams entered the final stretch as
evenly matched as it would be possible
to have two base ball mines. There was
nothing to choose between them and the
little betting which was done here today
and last night was all at even money
There were numerous Pittsburgers in
town who were not lOdth to admit that
they We're little rash when they offered
odds on their team before the series start.
ed The sole effort of the fans this morn
ing along the doping line was as to
the mound this afternoon. This, of course
was nothing more than su-Inse, for
neither Manager Jennings nor Clarke
could or would say which of his twirlers
he would use.
Rumors About Pitchers.
There was a persistent rumor through
the lobbies of the hotels and in other
flaming places here early today and
late last night that Jennings intended to
start Donovan, and. in the event of WILD
Bill showing signs OF wavering at any
time. to shove George Mullin again. Mul-
lin claimed that despite the fact ht
pitched Thursday he was fit for duty or
the mound again today. and when hs
said this he appeared TO be anxious tC
work. On the other hand. it seemed a:
though Manager Clarke would start his
best, Charley Adams.
Weather Clear and Cold.
The weather was cold, with the ther-
mometer registering between 30 and 4C
degrees above zero. The sky was clear
although the weather forecast promisd
snow furries.
Clarke refused to make any definite
statement concerning his selection for tn
Pittsburg pitcher.
He had Adams. Maddox and Phillip

But II was thought to be almost GER

pitcher.

infield worked we'll. with Wagner making
some clever catches.

The road ut this point is protect

which it is feared is not sufficiently
strong to withstand the force of the
surging waters.
1t seems to be a case, too, where
nothing can he done TO avert the i'm
pending danger. The warm weather
of the past few days, together with
the rain fall of yesterday afternoon
and last evening has SO swollen the
stream in 4 short period Of time. that
sufficient warning of the flood and
great danger to the roadway was not
given to enable the road supervisor
to guard against it.
The turbulent waters may possibly
snbside in a short time, but that is
hardly possible, because of the warm
rain that continued to fall during the

the caprice of the river in high water
