i Detroit, October 12.-Detroit defeated I Pittsburg 5 to today and evened up the count in the worlds championship series. each now having two victories to it's credit. The game was played with the mercury s4 degrees above zero, but 17.os4 braved the chilling temperature and freezing blasts and the great majority of them felt well repaid for their polar expedition because they were with De- troit.
 The American league champions out classed their rivals in every department | of the game and the pitching of George AIullin will make one of the brightest bits of baseball history in Detroit. It is hard to conceive of any pitcher hay l ing his opponents more at his mercy than i Aiullin had Pittsburg today. There was never a moment when he was not the absolute master of the situation and he was at his best when men were on the bases. Four hits represented the ability 1 of the visitors and no two of these were made in the same inning.
 mullInS Great feaI Mullin performed a feat fin the third in- ming that will live long In the annals of baseball and was frozen on the minds of those who saw it. In the third inning he struck out the mighty Wagner with two out and men on second and third. That was a mighty feat. but just previously he had struck out Manager Clarke, a hard-hitting man, with men on first and second. A double steal on C1arkes strike out moved the men to second and third where they were when Wagner came to l the bat. Leifeld was also a victim on strikes in the same inning, giving Mullir three strike-outs in one session. Alto gether he struck out the visitors ten | times.
 Detroit scored because it was able tc hit when hits meant runs.
 Stanage distinguished himself in the second inning by sending Detroit's first two runs across the plate with a drive just out of Millers reach. In the fourth inning Bushs ringing double into the | overflow crowd in left field scored another run and it was immediately followed by another two-bagger into the same place by Ty Cobb.
 Leifeld Canned.
 The onslaughts by Detroit in the second | and fourth innings drove Leifleld, Pitts burg's star left-hander from the slab and he was succeeded by the veteran Philippe, who was able to stem the De troit tide, although they pressed him har in the eighth inning. Eight hits wer made by Detroit and six of them cam in the two innings when the scores wer
 made, only two being wasted
 Outside of Mullin there were no star on the Detroit team, but their ensembl
 work was brilliant and only one fielding slip marred an otherwise perfect per formance.
 The cold apparently affected Pittsburg'i fielding far more than 1t did Detroit s Six errors were charged to the Pittsburs inaeld-Abstein, Miller and Philippe eacf getting two. Only one of these errors however, figured in the scoring of De troit.
 The victory of Detroit has toppled Pitts burg from its position as favorite in the betting and even money is now beine offered, as a more equitable indication ot the relative merits of the two major league champions. The teams left fol Pittsburg tonight and the fifth game vii be played at Forbes field tomorrow, The scene will then shift back to this city where the sixth game is scheduled fol Thursday
 Wagner Is Helpless.
 Hans Wagner failed to star as he dit in yesterdays game. At the bat he wa. helpless before Mullin. The first tim, up he was lucky enough to draw a bas. on balls, but was forced out at third The third inning saw his memorabl, strike-out in the sixth he sent a ho liner into Tom Jones' hands, and in tn, ninth he was an easy out, Moriarity t, Tom Jones. In the field he had two put outs and four assists, but most of then were of the easy sort. His best pla, came in the fourth inning when he fun
 bled a grounder by 6tanage for a frac tion of a second, recovered it quickly ant touched second, forcing Tom Jones' ant then threw to first in time to double ur 5tanage. If he had fumbled the ground CT for an appreciab1e time longer Detroi might have scored many more runs. A, three runs came after the double play . Cobb made one hit-a two-bagger-ant reached first once when he was hit b, Leineld. The other two times the Geor g1a star tried to beat out bunts in iron of the plate, but Gibson threw him ou both times. In the field he had only on. chance and accepted that gracefully. So thoroughly did Mullin do his wor, that there were only six balls hit to tn outfeld. Three of them were safe hit and the other three were divided. tw, flies to Crawford and one to Cobb. Pittsburg Threatens. Pittsburg threatened to score in th second and third innings. After bein, retired one, two, three in the first ses sion, Wagner drew a base on balls i, the second. Miller struck out Dele hanty then made the only error for De troft when he fumbled Abstein's ground CT and Wagner moved to second Wilsol hit to Muffin and Wagner was forced a third. Muffin to Moriarity. Gibson wa easy, Muffin to Tom Jones. retiring tn side.
 Pittsburgs real opportunity to SCOT came in the third inning, but the ada mant Mullin stopped them. LeifeId mad an inauspicious start by striking ou, but Byrne hit wo-bagger into the lei field overflow and Leach drew base O. balls. Clarke struck out, but a doubI
