Petroifs ability to hit tie National League pitcher and Pittsourg's inabil ity to connect with the curves of "Wild Bill" -Donovan tells the story of the game. Pittsburg got away to a flyins -tart by scoring two' runs in the first inning but Detroit, tied the score with two In the second. The Ameri can leaguers batted Howard Camnitz out of the box In the .third inning when they 1 scored three runs.' ' Vice W1IH3 succeeded Camnitz and two more runs from1 his offerings in - the f ourtn gave Detroit its total of seven runs.

The most sensational feature of the eame which was witnessed by more tha. 30,000 spectators was a steal home by Cobb iii the third inning. This was a remarkably well timed bit of work and the entire Fittsburg team and crowd were caught off their guard. It was on the first ball pitched by Wil lis after he succeeded Camnitz that the daring play was made. As soon as Willis etarted to wind up Cobb start ed for the plate, and by a daring slide reached the base in time to beat Wil lis' bewildered throw. Gibson was so surprised . that he dropped the ball after . Cobb slid in. This scored the third run in the third inning. ' ' Leach .was again a start with two two-baggers in his first two times at bat. In the field he played a star game but-his work could do nothing to stem the tide that flowed steadilv toward Detroit. ' Cobb made his first hit of the se ries with a single. over second in ths seventh. Wagner made a hit in the ninth. He has made two hits in sszn times -at bat, for an average of y.2S, and Cobb has hit safely once in six times up for a average of .167.

Pittsburg started with a rush when-Byrne walked and Leach Immediately scored him with a ringing two base hit to right Clarke sacrificed Leach to third, and Wagner strucK out. Miller shot a long hit in to the crowd in the temporary ttand in right field and completed a circuit or the bases, scorinsr Leach.
