LEACH'S CATCH OF
 COBB'S GREAT DRIVE
 GAVE PIRATES GAME
How Detroit Lost First Contest In Worlds Series
 Poor Support for Mullin

The two premier teams of the coun- Jry the Pittsburg Nationals and De- troit Americans met yesterday at Pittsburg and the parent leaguers won out to 1, the contest being wit nesssed by the largest crowd that ever turned out to see a worlds champion worlds series in which the Tigers have participated they had the opening contest within their grasp. but the old hoodoo seemed to pursue them, and they fell by the wayside. It was the nome run drive of Clarke's in the fourth installment that broke the string for the Pirates, and started the nndoing of the American leaguers. This run put the teams on even terms, out the fans looked for the Tigers to knot the, count, and Delahanty and Bush came through with these breaks in the fifth frame which permitted the Pirate to forge to the front. Once in the van, the National Leaguers set tied down and played the steady ar. resent the National League in the series? Their defense became inn pregnable, Tommy Leach making marvellous catch that halted the only Detroit rally that looked promising.
 Adams allowed one more hit than did Mullin, but with men on the bags he was well nigh invincible. The Fielding behind him could not be ex- eelled, while Mullins support was of the wobbly and discouraging sort At that the Adams youngster had a bit of luck for after the Tigers had SCOT ed their loner in the first session a ball batted by Moriarty hit Delahanty as the latter was on his way to third and kept the Tigers from adding to their tal1ying board. It is the com mon belief that if Del had side-step- ped the hit the Detroits might have gained a lead that would have been sufficient, as the ball would have gone for a hit, Crawford who was on third would have scored, as'also would Del ehanty. But.
 The ice breaker came in the first inning, going to Detroit, followed by the tie in the fourth on a home run drive by Clarke. The ghost went up in the fifth when Delehanty fumbled Abstein's grounder, the Pirate first sacker going to third. Gibson came along with a two bagger after Will son struck out Bush then messed Adams easy grounder. Byrne was telled on a wild pitch by Mullin, fill- Ing the bases. Leach filed to Davy Jones, Gibson beating the throw to

GIANTS LUCKY TO GET FIRST
 WIN IN SERIES
E'Matty''. Kept Hits Apart
 While Bostons' Errors
 Aided In Their Undoing.

The Giants drew first blood in their series with The Boston Americans opened yesterday at the Polo grounds 4-2 A choice collection of three errors by the Red Sox in the third inning settled the game for the Giants. The winners were outbatted by the losers, but the Nationalists had the edge on the Americans in fielding. It was the peerless one, Matty, against Wood. Matty was trapped ten times for clean drives, while Wood allowed only six. The contest brought, out a great deal of bone head work by both clubs in the base running of the Red Sox and the dumb plays of the Giants, but the work of 'fMatty'' in keeping the hits Gcattered told the tale. There was however one stellar light in the game, Iris Speaker of the Red Sox. Iris made home run and besides slapped but two singles. He completed his great work in the eight inning when after catching Doyle's fly by a sharp throw to the plate nipped OHara who ran for Myers, who had previously made a three bagger. Each side scored in the first. With one out Lord bounced a two bagger into right. Speaker followed with a single. A double steal was worked, Lord scoring. The New York tally was unearned. French threw Doyle's offering low to first, and Larry was safe. Larry stole second and moved up to third when Seymour grounded to Mcconnell. Nc Cormick's out, short to first, admitted Doyle to the counting station. In the fourth after one was out Devlin sin g1ed into left. Bridwell walked. Both moved up on a wild heave by Wood. When Tenny hit to French, the latter had Devlin at the plate. Arthur de- layed and series of returns between Carrigan and Lord followed, but Car rgan threw wild, Devlin scoring. Bridwell took third, and scored on Myers infield out. Penney registered on Lords wild throw of Mathewsons s grounder. Speakers home run hap pened along in the seventh, being the last score of the game. The score:

Walter Camp on
 Football Rules

In answer to an inquiry as to the effects of the changes in the football rules, Walter Camp of Yale. who pre- sided over the recent meeting of the Football Rules Committee of the inter collegiate association. said:
 .sThe changes in the rules are not very marked so far as their immediate e play go Field goals will still be at tempted in spite of the lessening in value of these from four points to three. Open play and the further de- velopment of forward passing and on- side kicking must be attempted. and teams that rely upon simply plunging tactics will find it difficult to score. Finally the fact that a side which has made touchdown or safety may scrimmage the ball upon it's twenty five-yard line instead of being forced to kick out will give team playing against the wind a thorough oppor- tunity to extricate itself from diff cult position"

Fusionists Don't
 Favor Hearst Plan
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 New York. Oct. 9.-The Republicans and Fusionists of th,s city are today in a quandary regarding the announce ment of William Randolph Hearst that ne will be a civic league candidate for Mayor if the entire Fusion ticket, as named by the Republicans. will become joint candidates with him with the exception of Otto S. Barnard. the Flu sionists candidate for mayor. The sentiment around Republican head quarters seems to be that Republi- cans, who are allied with the Fusion ists, will reject Hearst's plan.
 There are a number of our and out Republicans on the Fusion ticket with Barnard. who. it is believed. will re- fuse to allow their names to be used on a Hearst ticket.
 Hearst's idea in wanting the Fus on candidates on his ticket is said to be a deep laid plan to beat Tammany at all hazards.

BIG LEAGUE NOTES

To-day again at Pittsburg.
 Give credit of the win to Tommy Leach.
 It was Leach's stab in the seventh of Cobb's terrific drive with two on that really saved the day for the Pi- rates.
 If that ball had gotten by Thomas, Ty would have covered all the bags and the score would have been tied, and with it the probable ascension of Adams.
 29, ,2e5 at Pittsburg 1e762 at Chicago. and 4,573. at New York. All these fig- tres are correct, being given out by the secretary of each club.
 A peculiarity of the days happen ings lies in the fact that each wfn- ner was on it's own lot and that each scored four runs.
 How the finances came out in each city: At Pittsburg. Total receipts $4O,- 271. 50 to be divided as follows: To the National Commission $4.O2715; to the players $21, ,746.61; to each club owner s7,24s.s7.

At New York: Total receipts s2, ,9e5. .25: to the Commission $295.62, to the players $1,59S.S7, to the club own CTS s1,064.26.
 A fire started in one of the upper boxes of the grand stand at Chicago Chicago game and caused a small sig ed panic, but did not stop the pro- gress of the game.
 All Jim Mcclure, the new manager of the 1Clevelands asks for is a fair show, and he will produce winner in Napville. He intends to trade some of the older players in his efforts to build up the club.
 1t is expected that when the Nation al Commission meets Owner c. Webb Murphy of the Chicago Cubs will be given seventy-two hours in which to pay a $500 fine or be read out of or ganized baseball.
