PITTSBURG, Oct. 9.-The American
league champions from Detroit evened
the count in the worlds championship
series by defeating Pittsburg, Z to 2
at Gorbes field today. At least five
contests will now be necessary before
the series will be decided.
Detroit's ability to hit the National
league pitchers and Pittsburg's ina
bility to connect with the curves of
wild Bill" Donovan tell the story Of
the game.
Pittsburg scored two runs in the
first inning. but Detroit tied the score
with two in the second. The Amer
lean league batters knocked Camnitz
out of the box in the third inning,
when they took a commanding lead
by scoring three runs. Vic Wills
succeeded Camnitz and two more runs
from his offerings in the fifth inning
gave Detroit it's total of seven runs.
DetroiY made nine safe hits, get
ting six from Camnitz in two and
third innings and three from Wills
during the remainder of the game.
The Detroit hitting total included two
baggers by Schmidt and Crawford.
Donovan Effective
Donovan allowed only five hits, and
two of those were two-baggers by
Leach and Miller in the first inning
After that the Detroit pitcher was an
enigma and another tWo-bagger by
Leach in the third, single by Absteln
in the fourth and an infield hit by
Wagner in the ninth represented the
Pittsburg hitting during the last elght
innings. Only sixteen batters raced
Donovan in the last five innings
During the last four innings, only
twelve men faced Willis. The most
sensational feature of the game WElch
was witnessed by more than 80 OVO
spectators, was a steal OF nome py
Ty Cobb in the third inring. rms
was remarkably well timed and the
entire Pittsburg team and crowd was
caught off their guard.
1t was on the first ball pltched hy
Willis after he succeeded Camnit2
that the daring play was made AS
soon as Willis started to wind up Coop
storted for the plate and by daring
slide reached the base in time to beat
Willis bewildered throw. Gibson was
so surprised that he dropped the ball
after Cobb slid in. This scored the
