By Defeating Pittsburg Delrut Has Made the Seventh|» - Game Nocesury to Decide the World’s Champion: ship—Will Be Played World's Champienship Series Standing. Won. lew. TG H 300 Plitsburg Nationals Detroit Americans Detroit, Oct. 14.—Detroit kept in the great fight for the world's baseball champlonship by defeating Pittsburg, 5 to 4, today in a battle full of sensa- tional ang thrilling sensations, and to- night the two teams are tied with three victories each. The seventh and de- ciding game will be played here Sat- urday. A rally in the ninth inning by Pittsburg was stopped dfter one run was scored, but three Detrolt players were injured in stemming the rush of Pittsburg runs to'the plate, Jones Seriously Hurt in Collision. Tom Jones, the Detroit first baseman, was the most seriously hurt. His neck and spine were injured in a collision with Wilson at first base and this re- sulted in Pittsburg scoring its run of that session. Charles Schmidt, the catcher, had his right leg badly gashed in blocking Abstein off the plate in the final inning. The play that finished the threatening rally of the Natiomal league champions resulted in the in- jury of George Moriarty when he caught Wilson trying to steal third on Abbatticchio’s strikeout in the same inning. Moriarty's left knee was badly hurt when Wilson slid'into the base. Tom Jones was so badly hurt that he was carried from the field unconscious. He recovered consciousness in the club house and insisted that he be taken to his home rather than a hospital. He was taken home in an ambulance and it is practically certain he will not be able to play in Saturday's decisive game. Sehmidt, it is thought, will be able to play, and there is no doubt about Moriarty. The injury to Jones necessitated shifting Crawford to first base, D. Jones to center and McIntyre to left fleld. Mullin Gave Four Hits in First. The Pittsburg team got far in the lead by batting out three runs on four successive hits off Mullin in the first inning. After that Mullin was invinei- ble unfil the ninth, When he weakened enough to get infp a dangerous situa- tion, only to extricate himself by an- other marvelous exhibition of pitch- ing. 3 Detroit’s Uphill Fight. Detroit exhibited once more its won- derful uphill qualities. The American league champions scored one run.in the first inning and batted Vie WAllis ff the slab by scoring two runs in the fourth and one more in the fifth hard hitting. Camnitz succeeded Wil- lis and Detroit batted him enough to get ‘another run in the sixth inning. Camnitz was withdrawn when Hyatt batted for him In the seventh and the veteran = Phillippe stopped Detroit's further scoring. Pirates Rally in Ninth. The ninth inning rally by Pittsburg teemed with tense moments and dra- matic incidents. At ome time a hit meant the probable winning of the world's champlonship by Pittsburg be- cause a single would have tied the score, and a two bagger would perhaps have ‘put Pittsburg in the lead. Pittsburg went to bat with the score 5 to 8 against them in the last inning. Sporu of General lntereu. in Detroit SMy-—Otlnr Miller started with a single to right and Abstein cracked another in the same place, sending Miller to second. Wilson placed a bunt in front of the plate and Schmidt fielded it to first, but the collision with Wilson caused Jones to lose the ball. Miller scored d Abstein went to_ third. The delay casioned by Tom Jones’ injury gave Mullin a hard earned opportunity to recover his balance. -Gibson grounded to Crawford, who had succeeded Tom Jones at first base, and the crack out- fielder made a great stop and throw to the plate. Abstein was out when Schmidt blocked him off the plate and tagged him, but the Detroit catcher was badly nyfl(ed He continued game- 1~ to play, however, and few in the crowd knew that 'he had been injured. Mullin Saved the Game. Manager Clarke sent Abbaticchio to bat for Phillippe. With Wilson on second and Gibson on first, a hit by Abbaticchio meant a tie score at least. This was when Mullin arose to the occasion and made himself another niche #in the Detroit baseball hall of fame. He nearly equalled his remark- able performance of striking out Clarke and Wagner in Tuesday’s game. Ab- baticchio was a stubborn batter and required nearly everything Mullin ha to strike him out. On the third strike ‘Wilson tried to steal third, but was caught, Schmidt to Moriarty, ending the game with a victory for Detroit. Crowd Rushed Upon Fjeld. The crowd rushed upon the field and the .players swere jostled about by the mob of cheering Detroit supporters anxious te shake their hands and con- gratulate them. The injured Moriarty was surrounded by a crowd of sympa- thizers and an attempt was made to carry Mullin off the fleld, but the big pitcher evaded his would-be captors. Detroit Confident of Victory. Today’s wonderful game has set, troit haseball mad again. The intel in the series was beginning to wane a bit because of the long drawn compe- tition and the decisive victory of Pittsburg yesterday, but tonight con- ditions are changed. Everyone in the city belleves the Detfoits will be the next world’s champions and take the title after two unsuccessful attempts against the Chicago Nationals. 127,882 Saw Six Games. The lessened interest in the series was clearly shown by the fact that only 10,535 persons saw the game. The receipts for the day were $12,517. Of this money the national commission will receive $1,251 and each club $5,632. This brings the total attendance for the series up to 127,882 for six games. This is an average of more than 21,000 |a game and 4 new record for the world's championship series. The total receipts equal $168,625. Today’s game was played with the thermometer hovering about 40 de- grees above zero and with a chilling southwest wind sweeping across the field. The sun, however, warmed the atmosphere and it was really-the best baseball day Detroit had for this series, although it was a long way from being good baseball weather. Hans Marvelous in the Field. Hans Wagner played a marvelous FINANCIAL AND GUMMERGIAL UPTURN OF PRICES ume of Business. New York, Ocl 14.—The upturn of prices of stocks continued today on a diminishing volume of business, but last houn. There was a considerable demand from an uncovered short in— terest. Their buying to cover seemed to be prompted, to a large extent, by the perception 'that the rise in the Bank.of England discount rate was of small effect on securities markets, owing to the clearness with which it had been foreshadowed in the aection of the private discount gate. The sig- nificance -of the advance was not lost sight of, in spite of the calmness with which the action was accepted by stock markets. The advance in the England was regarded as no more than a mnor- mal reflection of the hardening ten- dencies of fall money amrkets. The quick sequence of a further rise of a full one per cent., bringing the rate to 4 per cent, must be accepted as evi- dence of abnormal conditions. Ad- vices from London today pointed to the possibility of an early additional advance. That these measures are di- rected, in a special degree, against American borrowers is asserted in Lo1don despatches and the inference is_borne out by the discrimination against American securities in the car- ry over rates for the London stock market settlements, which were 4 1-2 | per cent. on Americans againet 3 to |31-4 per cent. for other securities, Previous liquidation evidently has served to relieve sthe local money mar- ket so far that room was left for the recovery in prices. United States Steel especially was vigorously strong and | the aggressive manner in which it was bid up had a reassuring effect on sen- project of the former interest suggest- ed some realignment of the railroal affilations, The various elections to fill vacancies left by the death of E. H Harriman pointed to the dissolution of some of the projects attributed to the late financier. Selling of New York Central was explained on this ground. The Hawley group, also, showed some effect of the realizing on the publication of the news., Western Unfon enjoyed the benefit of the good annual reports. ment In the speculation was inclined to fight the early advance and the ne- cessities they created for themselves in that way to rebuy stocks had an influence In the growing strength of| the later market.

Four hits were made off his delivery in rapid succession at the opening of the game, but between the first and ninth innings he allowed only two safe hits. The ninth opened with thiee safe hits in succession by Pitts- ‘burg, but again- Mullin arose to the occasion and stopped his hard hitting “g:nenu belore they could reap any tantial advantage from his short lapses. All told, Pittsburg made nine hits off Mullin, and seven of them were bunched in the first and ninth innings. Sensational Double. One of the most sensational plays of the game was a double play made by Schm it and Bush in the sixthin- ning. With Miller on first, Abstein lifted a high foul which Schmidt caught with his back to the field. Mil- ler started for second after the catch, but a wonderfully fast play by Schmidt and a great one-handed catch and sweep downward by Bush caught Mil- ler off second after the Pittsburg man had made a desperate slide. Schmidt played a wonderfully fine game throughout and saved Mullin from two or three wild pitches by his marvelous catches. Detroit.

A duckpin team of Arademy boys a match from the Mohicans at the Rose alleys Thursday night by the narrow margin of five pins on the total pinfall. The Academy team led at the end of the second string, but the Mo- hicans picked up fast in the last string and it looked as if they might win out, but they were just a little shy when all the pins were counted. A high single of 121 by Stevens was a valuable con- tribution to the Academy score. He also made high three string for the match with a bunch of 277, and Sands was high man on the losing team.

BOSTON NATIONALS WON FIRST BIG SERIES Three of Five World's Championships Have .Been Taken by National League. { ety | In recent years there have been five world's series, two of which have been won by AmemMcan league teams and three by National league teams. The ! first series since the formation of the American league was played between the Pittsburg and Boston American | ¢lubs in the fall of 1903. Thie series | was arranged by the club owners of | the teams, the national commission having nothing to do with it. It was to_consist of nine games, to end when either team had won five. Pittsburg siarted off “at a great clip. winning | threg. of the first four, but the Bostons had the greater staying power and | copped the next four straight, winning | the serfes, five to three. In the fol- ‘lowing year the Bostons again won | the pennant in the American league, the New York Glants being the cham- pions in the Nationa. The Bostons challenged the Giants to a post-season series, but John T. Brush refused to allow, his team to play, the Bostons re- | taining the title of world’s champions by default. During the winter the national com- mission took the mafter in hand and formulated rules requiring the pennant winners of the two leagues to meet in a series of séven games every fall, the playing of the series to be conducted by the commission. Since that time there have been four such series, in three of which the National league champions have been successful. A remarkable feature of the first series, between the Giants 4nd Ath- letics, in the fall of 1905, was the fact that every one of the five gameés played resulted in a shutout, thé New Yorks winning four of them. The series of 1806 was the most closely contésted in recent hlllury requiring &ix games for a decision, and it is the only series of the last four that has gone that dis- tance. The Cubs were the favorites, but the White Sox sprung a surprise on.them by wihning four out of six first game of -the series between the &m the Déflou Tigers, and went af 2 s 2 land the P. the mnl unou Bendett Sears Sands .

C. team in their series has fanned the riyalry between the two teams to a hot flAme and the deciding struggle this week promises to pro- vide big fireworks as fhe last game of the local season on the diamond. All Kinds of talk about strengthening up by both managers is floating around, and as both teams have departed from their original agreement, only the sky is the limit, and the fans may expect an exciting session, as hoth teams are out for the game. Football a Fizzle at Westerly High. After winning the state champion- ship in baseball last summer, Westerly High school has made a fizzle of the ; football situation this fall and has no team developed. They have vancelled | the game which the Academy team had | laced on its schedule for this after- noon at Westerly. To fill out the week for the Academy Manager Worth has arranged for a game here Saturday on | the Academy Storrs team. They will make the Academy work hard to keep defeat off the red and white slate. Travis Leads Sixteen Who Qualify. Brookline, Mass., Oct. 14.—Over the lengtheried course of the country club links, Walter J.
