Adams pitched admirably, and Mullin
allowed only I'VE hits, while the Pitts
burg youngster was hit safely six
times Adams was unsteady In the
opening round when he gave two gases
on balls and allowed two hits. After
that he steadied and Detroit was not
abue to get more than one hit in an
inning.
Pittsburg played with machine-like
precision all the way and never APP
peared at loss to know what to do.
In the field the work of the winners
fairly shone at times. Byrne and Glib
son starred with clever bits OF field
ing.
The presence OF the leading batter
Of each league-Cobb and Wagner
created great interest and the work
of each man was closely watched, as
many bets have been made as to which
will hot the better during the series.
Wagner had the better of the hitting
OF the game as he made two-bagger
and was hit, in four times UP, giving
him an average OF 1898. Cobb failed
to make hit, though Leach robbed
him OF what was almost a certain
three-bagger. Cobb was UP fourtimes
and drew a base on balls and scored
Detroit's only run Cobb also stole
base In the firth inning and it was on
this play that Wagner made a re-
markable one-handed scoop Of Glib
sons low and wild throw. The play
was close and the Pittsburg men dis
puted Umpire O'Laughlin's decision.
Sec, William H. Locke OF the Pitts
burg baseball club tonight announced
that 29,577 tickets had been sold for
the game today and that 2S,264 paid
admissions were received at the gates.
