PITTSBURG. r., Oct. 8.-The National league champions won the first game of the world's championship series, by the Scorn of 4 . to 1, at Forties Field today. Afur the early Innings iJetrult was out classed In every department of the game. In the first three Innings Detroit out played Pittsburg. An Immense crowd of 29.26S puld admla sions. a new record for attendance in a world's series game, witnessed 'the exciting gdme. Kvery scat in the immense amphi theater was filled when 'mpire Johnstone called "play ball." The majority -of the spectators were Pittsburg supporters, but a large delegation of Detroit enthusiasts made a creditable showing, with plenty of noise in the early Innings. Clarke and I. each Star. Manager Fred Clarke and Tommy Leach were the Pittsburg stars. In .the fuurth inning Clarke solved Pitcher Mullin's puz zling delivery and made a smashing home lun hit into the right field bleachers. This tied tlio score and appeared to take all the heart out of Detroit. Scoring was com paratively tasy for Pittsburg after that. Loach's sensational catch of a hard drive from "Ty" Cobb's bat. with two iM-'tKHt inon on bases In the seventh inning, saved the game. Leach was playing ducp for Cobb, but this drive went almost to tin center-field stand and It was only aftri a hard backward inn that Leach was able to make the catch. , Fine Work by Pitchers. Both Ueorgo Mullin and Charles Adams pitched admirably. Mullin allowed only five hits. Adams was hit safely six times. Adams was unsteady in the opening in-1 nlng when he gave two bases on balls and allowed two hits. After that he steadied and Detroit was not able to get more than one hit In an Inning. ' Mullin was a complete enigma to the lo cals during: the first three innings. In these he did not allow a hit and gave but one bas on , balls. He had retired two Pittsburg men in the fourth when Clarke made his home run. Delehanty made a ridiculous error at the beginning of the fifth Inning and Abetcin made three baseX on It. This was fulloejed by a two-bagger by Uibson and another error by Bush gave Pittsburg two runs and- the game. In the fifth. Inning Mullin hit Byrne In the head with a pitched ball and it lojked fur an instant as though he had knocked out the little third bateman. Tho crack of the ball .against Byrne's head could be plainly heard, and as he tank to the ground a murmur of sympathy arose from the crowd. After a few minutes he was able to get up and trot to first base. Pittsburg played with machine-like pre cislou ail the way and Byrne and Uib.on starred witli elevtr bits of fielding. Cobb and Wanner. " The presence of the leading batter of each league Cobb and Wagner created great interest and the work of both men was closely watched, as many beta have been made as to which will hit the better during the aeries. Wagner had the better of it today, aa he made a two-bagger and was hit in four times up. giving him an uveu-fV of .m Cobb failed tp make a hit, as Leach's fine catch robbed1 him of what was almost a certain three-bagger. Cobb was up ;vur times and drew a base on balls and scored Detroit's only run. Cobb alto stole a base in the firth inning and it was on thfs play that Wagner made a remarkable one-handed catch of Gibson's low and wide throw. The play was close and the Pittsburg man disputed Umpire CLoughlln's decision for some time before they would continue the game. . How Detrot "cored. Detroit acorcd In the first inning, David Jonea drew a base on balls and Bush sac rificed him to second. Abstain to Miller. Adams could not locate the plate and Cobb also walked. Crawford hit a smart bounder o Adams and D. Jones was forced' at tWd by a throw to Byrne. Delehanty landed a safe hit In left field and Cobb scored, while Crawford moved to third and Delehanty to second on the throw to the plate to catch Cobb. Morlarlty shot a bounder to shortstop, but It hit Delehanty and the latter was out, while Mortality iccetved credit for a hit. The winners were retired, one, two, three in the first and tu were out In the second when Absteln Crew a base on balls. This advantage was abort lived, as Absteln was caught nap ping by a quick anap by Mullin to Tom Jones. Again the Pittsburg men were re ined in order and It was not until two were out In the fourth that Clarke's home lun came; Immediately after this Wagner was hit by a pitched bull, but Miller ended the inning with a fly to Cobb. Uowafall of Detroit. I lie fifth Inning brought about the com p'n duwnfal i f Detroit. Delehanty Mm ,ej it by making an inexcusable turn- h.-. uii Abatein's grounder and the Pitts bing ln.-t baseman was on third before Hie La.l found Its way back 'to the Infield, t.iulhn tiuck out Wilson after a huwj tune, but Ciibson's two-bagger to canter tcond Ab.uiii. iuh then missed Adams' aiounder. allowing the pitcher to get to List and ciib.son to third. Brne was hit l.i thj head and the bases were full. Leach tied u Davy Jones and Gibson beat the Wiiov. to i Ik- plate, giving Pittsburg the lead by 3 to I. Claike finished the Inning, D Uhantj to Tom Jonc. Detioii was able to get ien on first Las-i in the second, third and fourth in nings and to second In the fifth and teuih.- Mullin singled with two out In , reooud. Crawford did the samo thing In Die third, echmidl drew a pass with two out in the fourth, but was forced at tcond by Mullin.

Under 'fie present freight arrangements, rates on lemons from California points to eastern points are 13 cents a hundred pounds less than the rates on oranges, grape fruit, limes and other citrus fruits.

Under adverse con ditions Glenn II. Curtiss, by a flight In his bi-plane late this afternoon In Forest park, received the applause and cheers of the many thousands of persons who had waited Tor hours for the wind to slacken. George Francois Osmont and Hugh A. Ilobinson of St. Doula attempted to make their machines fly and failed. Osmont, after Curtiss had made his suc cessful flight, tried a second time and his machine w as damaged by striking the ground, but he was uninjured. Curtiss. Just at dusk, wheeled his machine out of Its tent and, facing a fifteen-mile wind, started his propellor and rose thirty feet from- the ground and flew the length of the acre field. He covered a quarter of a mile and was aloft forty-five seconds. The flight, which was his second of the day. was made so as not to disappoint the multitude that surrounded the Aero club and covered Art Hill in St. Louis' largest purk. With a short run on the ground the , noted aviator caused his machine to rise bird-like. The bl-plane rose - and fell gracefully with the different air currents and the outline of the craft In the Bky brought forth many cheers. He did not attempt to make a turn, but contented himself with bringing the ma chine to the ground at the feet of thous ands who stood at the east end of the field. Karly this morning in the presence of the members of the Aero club he remained In the air a minute and a half and i-alled three quarters of a mile against a wind whose velocity was five miles an hour. Osmont w 1th the Parmarty bl-plane got the front wheels of his machine In the air in his second attempt late today and j in returning to his shed he damaged the machine by making too short a turn. The rudder and heel on the lei(. side of the lower plane were snapped off and the sup ports of the plane broken. It will take two weeks to repair 1 he machine. The damage was placed at S'XK).

They came in countless thousands, and when the embattled regulars had finished shining their shoes and polishing brass buttons the old drill ground was com pletely surrounded by the invading forces. Children were everywhere on the bleach ers, on the side lines and on the terraces, packed In columns like enthusiasts at a foot ball game. It was real foot ball weather, too, late In the afternoon.

When the dust cleared away the squadron of 260 mounted troopers rode off the parade ground, having completely won the hearts of theiiilldren. Then came fast drills with machine guns by squads from the sixteenth In fantry. The way the mules scampered about and came to sudden halts when they received tho proper signal by vicious Jerks r.n their tails much amused the youngsters. This was followed by exhibitions of saddle packing by squads from the Seventh cav alry and the performing of Butt'tf manual, a military callsthenic exercise, by two battalions from the Thirteenth Infantry. The rescue, race and the Roman races were exciting. During the Knman event one trooper was thrown from the two steeds he was riding and after appar ently rolling over arid over under the hoofs of his horses gamely Jumped up and remounted the animals. .The artillery drill by Battery E of the Sith regiment furnished a blood-curdling exhibition of real war fireworks.
