Detroit. Oct. IA Detroit kept in
the great fight for the worlds base
ball championship by defeating Pitts
burg 5 to today The game was
full of sensations The teams are
now tied with three victories each.
The seventh and deciding game will
be played here Saturday A rally in
the ninth inning by Pittsburg was
stopped after one run was scored but
three Detroit players were injured.
Three Detroit Players Injured
Tom Jones. the Detroit first base
man, was the most seriously hurt. His
neck and spine were injured in a col
lision with Wilson at first base. This
accident followed Pittsburg to score
its last run. Charles Schmidt the
catcher had his right leg badly CASH
ed in blocking Abstein of the plate.
George Moriarity, third baseman, suf-
fered a badly injured knee when he
caught Wilson trying to steal on ABB
baticchiCs strike-out. Wilson slid up
on him.
Tom Jones was so badly hurt that
he was carried from the field uncon-
scious Later he regained his SEN
SEES and was taken home in an ambu-
lance. 1t is practically certain he
viii not be able to take part in Sat
urday's decisive game. Schmidt, it is
thought will be able to play and there
is no doubt that Moriarity will be in
the decisive battle
MuIlin Strong After First Inning
M. IN,
lead in the first by making three runs
on four successive hits off Mullin' but
after this inning Mullin was invinci-
bic until the ninth, when ne weaken
ed enough to get into a dangerous
situation only to extricate himself by
another marvellous exhibition of pitch
ing
Detroit Knocks Out Two Pitchers
Detroit put up another of its won
derful uphill games. The American
League champions scored one run in
the first inning and batted Willis off
the slab by scoring two runs in the
fourth and one more in the fifth. Cam
nitz succeeded Willis and Detroit bat
ted him hard enough to get another
run in the sixth inning Camnitz was
withdrawn and the veteran Philippe
stopped the scoring.
Pittsburg's Rally in Ninth
The ninth inning rally of Pittsburg
teemed with dramatic incidents. At
one time a single would have tied the
score and two Dagger perhaps have
given Pittsburg the worlds champions
ship. The score was to 3 in favor
of Detroit, when Miller and Abstein
singled. Wilson hunted and Schmidt
folded It to first but the collision with
Wilson caused Jones to lose the ball
Miller scored and Abstein moved to
third The delay occasioned by Ten
Jones injury gave Mullin an opportu-
nifty TO recover his balance. Gibson
grounded to Crawford, who had sue
ceeded d. Jones at first and Crawford
made a great stop and throw to the
plate Schmidt blocked Abstein off
the plate but was badly spiked. He
continued gamely however and few
persons knew he had been injured
Abbaticchio went into bat for Phil
lippe and with Wilson on second and
Gibson on first a hit meant a tie score
at least. Mullin however rose to the
occasion and struck out this sterling
batsman. On the third strike Wilson
tried to steal third but was caught
Schmidt to Moriarity, ending the
game with a victory for Detroit.
