The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1909-10-12


gives Pittsburg a margin of two
games to one. Detroit, however
showed in the final innings that It is
far from hopelessly beaten. The
weather conditions were frightful
Rain fell frequently during the game
several times in hard showers.
Despite the wretched weather the
attendance was 1927, and broke all
local records for the two worlds
series here.
Five in the First.
Pittsburg jumped into the lead by
scoring five runs in the first inning
They batted Summers out of the box
aided by some poor fielding. Another
run in the second inning made the
game look safe for the visitors. De
troit. however. made one OF the
gamest rallies ever seen, scoring four
runs in the seventh inning, batting
Maddox hard, and playing like fiends
Pittsburg connected with some OF
Works curves in the ninth inning
for two runs. With the score s to
4 against II, the Detroit team even
then did not realize that It was beat
en-. and smashed out two more runs
in the last inning. Had Crawford
been able to hit up to his usual mark
the result would have been different
Detroit outbatted Pittsburg by a
margin Of one run, getting IL to the
inner's IL. Summers started to pitch
for the locals but was removed be-
fore the end of the first inning Will
lett succeeded him, and did well un-
Ill he was taken out to allow McIn-
tyre to bat for him in the seventh
Mcintyre struck out. Works, who
then went in was lucky in the eighth
after Abstein made a two-base hit
with but one out. The next two
were easy outs. In the ninth Pitts
burg landed on him for three hits
that clinehed the game for them. Had
Jennings sent in a more experienced
pitcher in such a situation he might
have secured at least tie.
Maddox was on the rubber for
Pittsburg. and was hit hard in the
closing innings, although Detroit
could do nothing with him in the
early sessions. When the American
leaguers did start to hit him, they
landed hard and often, but Manager
Clarke left Maddox in because OF the
lead his team had.
Wagner Was Star.
Wagner was the star of the game
but he was forced TO share some OF
the honors with Owen Bush and Del
ehanty, of the locals. Wagner made
four hits and stole four bases, al.
though Catcher Schmidt was not to
blame for at least one OF these thefts
Besides his hitting and base run.
ming, Wagner beat out a hit to Bush
stole second and went to third on
schmldt's add throw 20 second. He
then scored on a wild pitch. In the
second he reached first on a feeders
choice and on a double steal went TO
third while Leach was stealing home
In the fifth he singled Just out OF
Tom Jones' reach and stole second
Wagner singled to left in the seventh
but was caught trying to steal second
Schmidt to Bush. In the ninth he
again singled and stole second. while
Leach was on third waiting to score
Schmidt did not throw to catch wag-
ner this time, however, until he as
certained that Leach would not Try
to score.
Bush and Delehanty were bright
spots in the Detroiters in batting
while Cobb and Crawford made great
catches. Bush made four hits in five
times at bat Two OF them played
an important part in the scoring
Delehanty was there with two two
baggers and a single in FIVE times at
bat. His third hit, a double in the
seventh, started the rally.
While Crawford starred in the field
his work at the bat was feeble and
he missed two excellent chances to
swing the tide OF victory toward De
troit. He ended the rally I'm the sew
enth inning by puny pop fly to Alb
stein with two men on bases. In the
ninth he again had a chance, with
Cobb on second. but his best was a
feeble bounder TO Wagner.
Cobb made a two-bagger and a
single that we're important factors in
Detrolt's rally. HIS single in the
seventh scored one run, and his
double in the ninth sent in two more
The ground rules brought about a
long conference between Umplres
0Loughlin and tombstone and mem
bers Of the national commission. and
an innovation was made by sending
Umpire Klein, who was not scheduled
to work today, out along the right
field foul line to watch hits into the
crowd and act in an advisory capa-
city to the other two umpires.
How the First Went.
The first inning was a weird spec
tacle for the local enthusiasts. When
1t was over hope was nearly dead for
the Detroit victory Bryne beat out

to third when Leach singled to CEN

mers. Byrne was caught between
