TIGERS AND PIRATES EVEN AGAIN
By Defeating Pittsburg Detroit Has Made the Seventh Game Necessary to Decide the Worlds Champion ship-Will Be Played in Detroit Saturday Other Sports of General Interest.

Miller started with a single to right and Abstein cracked another in the same place, sending Miller to second. Wilson placed a bunt in front of the plate and Schmidt fielded it to first, but the collision with Wilson caused Jones to lose the ball. Miller scored and Abstein went to third. The delay oecasioned by Tom Jones injury gave Mullin hard earned opportunity to recover his balance. sGibson grounded to Crawford, who had succeeded Tom Jones at first base, and the crack out fielder made great stop and throw to the plate. Abstein was out when Schmidt blocked him off the plate and tagged him. but the Detroit catcher was badly spiked. He continued game r. to play, however, and few in the crowd knew that he had been injured.
 MulIin Saved the Game.
 Manager Clarke sent Abbaticchio to bat for Philippe. With Wilson on second and Gibson on first, a hit by Abbaticchio meant a tie score at least. This was when Mullin arose to the occasion and made himself another niche sin the Detroit baseball hall of fame. He nearly equalled his remark able performance of striking out Clarke and Wagner in Tuesdays game. Ab- batfcchio was stubborn batter and 1t required nearly everything Mullin had to strike him out On the third strike caught, Schmidt to Moriarty. ending the game with a victory for Detroit.
 Crowd Rushed Upon Field.
 The crowd rushed upon the field and the players were jostled about by the mob of cheering Detroit supporters anxious to shake their hands and con- graduate them. The injured Moriarty was surrounded by crowd of sympa- thizers and an attempt was made to carry Mullin off the field, but the big pitcher evaded his wouldbe captors.
 Detroit Confident of Victory.
 Today's wonderful game has set De- troit baseball mad again The interest in the series was beginning to wane a bit because of the long drawn compe- -tition and the decisive victory of Pittsburg yesterday, but tonight con- ditions are changed. Everyone in the city believes the Detroits will be the next worlds champions and take the title after two unsuccessful attempts against the Chicago Nationals.
 127,ss2 Saw Six Games.
 The lessened interest in the series was clearly shown by the fact that only 10,535 persons saw the game. The receipts for the day were $12,517. Of this money the national commission will receive $1,251 and each club $5,6S2.
 This brings the total attendance for the series up to 127,Ss2 for six games. This is an average of more than 21, 1,O00 game and A new record for the worlds championship series. The total receipts equal s16S,625.
 Today's game was played with the thermometer lowering about 40 de- grees above zero and with a chilling southwest wind sweeping across the field. The sun, however, warmed the atmosphere and 1t was really the best baseball day Detroit had for this series. although 1t was long way from being good baseball weather

PROBLEMS OF THE MANAGER.
Dizzy Keeping Track of His Players
 Connie Mack Disooursss.

"A bench manager has distinct adr vantage over playing manager hasn't he. Connie l" A fan peppered this question at the leader of the Ath- letics. "Oh, I wouldn't say that at all," replied Mack in his usual guard ed way. There have been, and are. some great bench managers, and there have been, and are, some wonderful playing managers, meaning by play, ing managers men in uniform who get out and hustle, as do Clark Griffith and Hughey Jennings. Ned Hanion and Frank Selee were two of the greatest bench managers in the history of base- ball. Hanlon won pennant after pen nant, and Selee, let's see, didn't he win five flags for Boston? Then there's George Stallings today He seems to be doing right well. Then look at the playing managers who have been emi- nently successful-Fred Clarke. Frank Chance Clark Griffith. Hughey Jen- nings, Jimmy Collins, Fielder Jones, Muggsy McGraw and many others.
 There is, of course. one slight ad- vantage the bench manager may be said to possess if he has good cap tain-there are two pairs of eyes watching every play from different an- gles. The man on the bench may see something the man in uniform does
 AOls anu vice Ntfcds put tNCH Ahl' advantage scarcely obtains when one is contemplating such men as Fielder Jones' Clark Griffith. Hughey Jennings and men of that stamp. Do you know that this baseball game Is getting to be a fearful and wonderful proposi- tion?' Connie went on. Why, it Isn't so many years ago when the players bus would back up to the hotel door. ten or eleven men would climb in. and away the rig would go on it's way to the ball park. How is 1t today? Why, the manager has to stand by the bus now and do stunts in mental and vis- ual arithmetic until he's dizzy. He counts the men in sight.20. 21. 22. 23. 24-and then he has to stop and recall how many players he has on his stan. Lots of times I've forgotten altog ether, and had to go in and look over the hotel register to see how many men were drawing salaries from the Ath- letic club

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
UPTURN OF PRICES
Continued Yesterday on Smaller Vol
 ume of Business.

.r New York, Oct 1.-The upturn of prices of stocks continued today on a diminishing volume of business, but expanding in a buoyant upshot in the last hour There was a considerable demand from an uncovered short in terest. Their buying to cover seemed to be prompted, to large extent, by the perception that the rise in the Bank of England discount rate was of small effect on securities markets owing to the clearness with which it had been foreshadowed in the action of the private discount rate. The sig nificance of the advance was not lost sight of. in spite of the calmness with which the action was accepted by stock markets. The advance in the England
 bank rate of half per cent. a week ago was regarded as no more than a nor nal reflection of the hardening ten dencies of fall money amrkets. The quick sequence of a further rise of full one per cent, bringing the rate to per cent. must be accepted as evil dence of abnormal conditions. Ad- vices from London today pointed to the possibility of an early additional advance. That these measures are di- rected, in a special degree, against American borrowers is asserted in Lo ldo1 despatches and the inference is borne out by the discrimination against American securities in the car ry over rates for the London stock market settlements, which were 1-2 per cent on Americans against to 3 1-4 per cent. for other securities. Previous liquidation evidently has served to relieve the local money mar ket so far that room was left for the recovery in prices. United States Steel especially was vigorously strong and the aggressive manner in which it was bid up had a reassuring effect on sem timent towards the whole market. The strength of Union Pacific effectively supplemented that of United States Steel as a sustaining influence The announcement of the central of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in the interest of the Hawlev and Rock Is land parties opened up substantial extension of the ambitious railroad project of the former interest suggest ed some realignment of the railroa affiliations. The various elections to fill vacancies left by the death of E. H. Hartman pointed to the dissolution of some of the projects attributed to the late financier. Selling of New York Central was explained on this ground. The Hawley group also showed some effect of the realizing on the publication of the news Western Union enjoyed the benefit of the good annual reports. The professional ele- ment in the speculation was inclined to fight the early advance and the ne- cessities they created for themselves in that way to rebuy stocks had an influence in the growing strength of the later market. Many individual or ders running into thousands of shares were executed in United States Steel, some of them from brokers who have been the principal sellers of that stock within the week. Bonds W ere heavy Total sales, par value, $3,652, 900. Unit ed States bonds were unchanged on call.

GLOOM IN PITTsBURe.
Rooters Before Bulletin Boards En-
 treated Abbatiechio to Get Hit


 Pittsburg, Oct. 14-Pittsburg has reputation of being smoky, but a pail hangs over the city tonight deeper than any smoke or fog-the gloom con sequent upon the defeat of the Pitts burg baseball club at Detroit today.
 Street traffic was relegated to side streets today during the game, owing to the thousands of people who stood in front of the bulletin boards at all the newspaper offices When the To- cal team had a chance to win. in the ninth inning the crowd could hardly contain itself. and when Abbaticchio went to the bat cries of Get a hit. Abby" rent the air.f When the double play ending the game occurred, the crowd appeared dazed for an instant, and the fans silently wended their way home.
 Large crowds are making prepara- tions to leave here tomorrow for De- troit to witness the deciding game of the big series. Great sorrow Is being expressed over the injury to the De- troit players

game in the field. but made only one hit in four times at the bat. In the field, however, he@was everywhere and did his best to stop the Detroit team from scoring He covered third, retir- ing Detroit players twice by crowding Byrne out of the way and taking the play himself. In the fourth inning he raced over to third base, took Miller's assist on Moriarty's hit and retired Delehanty. Again in the sixth inning he covered third and took Camnitz's s assist, retiring Schmidt.
 Mullins Pitching a Revelation.
 Mallin, Schmadt, Crawford and Bush did the best playing for Detroit. Null lin's wonderful pitching after he had been unmercifully hammered in the first inning was a revelation to the spectators. Four hits were made off his delivery in rapid succession at the opening of the game, but between the first and ninth innings he allowed only two safe hits. The ninth opened with three safe hits in succession by Pitts burg, but again Mullin arose to the occasion and stopped his hard hitting opponents before they could reap any substantial advantage from his short lapses. All told, Pittsburg made nine hits off Mullin, and seven of them were punched in the first and ninth innings.
 Sensational Double.
 One of the most sensational plays of the game was a double play made by Schmidt and Bush in the sixth in ming With Miller on first, Abstein lifted a high foul which Schmidt caught with his back to the field. Mill Ter started for second after the catch, but 8 wonderfully fast play by Schmidt and great one-handed catch and Cv ard lu Erc tof, Ter off second after the Pittsburg man had made a desperate slide. Schmidt played wonderfully fine game throughout and saved Mullin from two or three wild pitches by his marvellous catches.

Worlds Championship Series Standing. Pittsburg Nationals ..... 3 8 800 Detroit Americans !...... .500
 Detroit Oct. 14.-Detroit kept in the great fight for the worlds baseball championship by defeating Pittsburg, 5 to A. today in battle full of sensa- tional and thrilling sensations, and to- night the two teams are tied with three victories each. The seventh and de- ciding game will be played here Sat urday. A rally in the ninth inning by Pittsburg was stopped after one run was scored, but three Detroit players were injured in stemming the rush Of Pittsburg runs to the plate.
 Jones Seriously Hurt in Collision.
 Tom Jones, the Detroit first baseman, was the most seriously hurt. His neck and spine were injured in a collision with Wilson at first base and this re- suited in Pittsburg scoring it's run of that session. Charles Schmidt, the catcher. had his right leg badly gashed in blocking Abstein off the plate in the final inning. The play that finished the threatening rally of the National league champions resulted in the in jury of George Moriarty when he caught Wilson trying to steal third on Abbatticchio's strikeout in the same
 
 hurt when Wilson slid into the base.
 Tom Jones was so badly hurt that he was carried from the field unconscious. He recovered consciousness in the club house and insisted that he be taken to his home rather than a hospital. He was taken home in an ambulance and it is practically certain he will not be able to play in Saturdays decisive game. Schmidt. it is thought, will be able to play, and there is no doubt about Moriarty. The injury to Jones necessitated shifting Crawford to first base, D. Jones to center and Mcintyre to left field.
 MuIIin Gave Four Hits in First.
 The Pittsburg team got far in the lead by batting out three runs on four successive hits off Mullin in the first inning. After that Mullin was invinci- ble until the ninth when he weakened enough to get into a dangerous situa- tion, only to extficate himself by an- other marvellous exhibition of pitch ing.
 Detroit's Uphill Fight.
 Detroit exhibited once more it's won derfu uphill qualities. The American league champions scored one run in the first inning and batted Vic Willis if the slab by scoring two runs in the fourth and one more in the fifth by hard hitting. Camnitz succeeded Will lis and Detroit batted him enough to get another run in the sixth inning. Camnitz was withdrawn when Hyatt batted for him in the seventh and the veteran Philippe stopped Detroit's further scoring.
 Pirates Rally in Ninth.
 The ninth inning rally by Pittsburg teemed with tense moments and dra- matic incidents. At one time a hit meant the probable winning of the worlds championship by Pittsburg be- cause single would have tied the score, and two bagger would perhaps have put Pittsburg in the lead
 Pittsburg went to bat with the score 5 to against them in the last inning.

clad regulations to find this money somewhere. l tell you there are prob lems in baseball of which the fans have only a meager understanding. Then think of the number of players re- served by each team nowadaye. I sup pose I'll have more than 50 this fall. If the other seven teams in our league have as many-and some of them will have 60-there you have over 400 play CTS to make up eight hines. In the old days the number wouldn't have been over 100 at the most Some times I hear talk about 'mercenary magnates.' l can't see the justice of that charge; honestly. l can't.
