About the Mishaps!

ABOUT the M1S0apS!
After it's all over it's easy to point
out where mistakes were made. Had
Willetts been started in one of the games
that Summers pitched Detroit probably
would have won the series. Summers
did not bother the Pirates, while they
could not hit Wiletts.
The latter, however, was sent into one
game after it was lost, and did not get
into the other until its ninth inning Null
lin pitched two fine games and Donovan
one.
Adams was the only Pittsburg pitcher
who looked good. Detroit made six
runs off Camnitz. but lost the game and
its chance for the series through Sum-
Adams at Pittsburg in Summers second
game, and again was beaten.
In this finale the Pirates outplayed the
home boys. There was no marked differ
ence in the fielding, though Detroit had
two errors against none for the National
Leaguers. AS a matter Of fact. most OF
Pittsburgs fielding chances were easy,
while Detroit. in two innings. second
and third. pulled off some pretty stuff
that ended prospective scoring chances.
But at the bat the Pirates put things
across on Detroit. They got but two hits
more than the home talent, but they got
their bingles punched. Early in the
game hitting was not at all necessary.
passes doing the business.
During the course of the contest ten
Pirates were passed and another was hit.
That sort of thing is almost enough to- de-
eide any game of ball.
There was another chapter Of accidents
to supplement that of Thursday. In the
very first inning Byrne and Moriarity col
lided while Byrne was trying to steal
third. The Pittsburger was forced to re-
tire, having sprained his ankle. Moriarity
went another inning and was then forced
to quit and go to the clubhouse. where
DR.. Keene put twelve stitches into his
leg to close an ugly wound made by
Byrne's spikes.
Schmidt, who was slashed Thursday,
was back. Tom Jones played first base
like a man who had never suffered any
injury.

the fans felt about The Stars score
board:
"Wilt you kindly state in your paper
what was the attendance at the Satur-
days base ball game at nth street and
Pennsylvania avenue. I say game and
that is just what I mean. The brilliant
effect You make with your electric score
board is very little short of actually see
ing the two teams on the diamond in
play.
"All we, who watch the score board.
have to do is to stretch little, the
cords of our Imagination instruments, and
there we are. actually seeing Crawford
send the ball on some far-off journey, or
Wagner put three big holes into the at
mosphere, or Mulin twisting the ball in
snake-like fashion around the Pirates
necks.
"On account Of your generosity In plac-
ing the game in all its details before US,
at the same time 1t is really being played,
there is no necessity of our going to De-
troit to see the original game. The
duplicate is surely good enough. and not
only the size of the score board crowd
but the keen interest with which they
watch each and every play is an assur-
ance that the public is highly thankful
to you for your kind efforts. Very
truly yours. PERCY VERANCE.'

They lost to Pittsburg in the final
number of world-series argument. s to O.,
after carrying the argument further than
in either Of their other two pennant
years. The count was three and three
in the present contest before this game
was played.
There is not much to say in exphna-
ton or in excuse. when the opposing
team makes eight runs and one club falls
to score. Pittsburg sent back Adams
against the Tigers for his third appear
ance In the series. He was more success
full than In either game that he pitched
Detroit punched two hits on but one
occasion. It had but two chances to
score. Each time Schmidt came up with
two on and two down. Once he was out

Pitchers Decided It.
It was a game decided entirely by the
pitching. Detroit had two outfeld err
rors. While they affected the score. they
had no bearing on the result.

of the two clubs to be worth mentioning,

hitting was extremely timely. In this
