"Was there a woman ln lt?" asked
Captaln McMahon. and to thls Conway

The fourth affldavit is that of Dr.
John E. Shorc, a physlclan of Doaven

' "Then the doctor plcked up Dokkcn

the-re he sald they were golng up
Shushitna, up tho Culltna and up to the

"From there wo. left for home. On

"In about one month after Barrlll

ho and Cook never got to thc top of

"I was called East by Henry Disston,

DETROIT. MICH.. ' October 10.?.
Pittaburg won the world's base?
ball chuniplonshlp at Bennett
Purk to-day by defeatlng Detrolt by
tho overwhelmlng score of 8 to 0, in
the seventh una declatve gamo of ono
of the greatest battles ever fought
for the world's title. Thla gives ths
Natlonal League champlons the vic?
tory by tlie count of four games to
threo.
To Charles Adams, the puenomcnal
young pltcher from the Louisville
Amerlcan Assoclatlon team, belongs
tho llon'a share of tho credlt for tho
victory, To-day's victory waa hls thlrd
victory of the serlea, and ho held De?
trolt safely throughout the entire
game. He allowed but slx hlts, and ln
only one Inning?the fourth?dld De?
trolt got moro than ono aafoty.
Last year a minor leaguer, thla sea?
son uaed untll near the closo -malnly
as a rellef pltcher, Adams blossomcd
lnto full blooni ln tho world'p serlea,
ln which he won not only the flrat and
tlfth games for his team, but tho sov?
enth and doclding contest as well. Tha
youngster was In better condition ap?
parently on the Detroit fleld than ln
olthor of the games -wlilch ho had
pltched on tho Plrate lot. Ho aeat
tered Detrolt's few hits ln most mas?
terly stylo, und the yolls of the thous?
ands of Detrolt rooters dld not scoin
to affeet hlm ln the least. He gave but
ono baae on balls, flcliled hls posltlon
as well as a trled veteran, and wound
his curve ball around the necks and
knees of tho Tlgera to such an extent
as to leave them almoat compiotely
mystlfled.
I'arade tho Streets.
To-nlght tho Plrate rooters are pa
rading the clty wlth bands, wavlng
thelr colora and slnging thelr songs,
and the supportera of the Tlgera havo
nothing lo offer ln reply.
The Pirates won thelr gamo rlght ln
the box. Tholr pltcher waa strong and
confjdent. Donovan, who atartcd for
Detrolt, was wlld and tnetllclent. Af- ?
ter ho had glven six busea on balla
and had hlt a man ln the tirst three
Innlngs, ha wua removed to let Mullln

tho Detrolt huiilug staff took hts place

Ho waa plalnjy ln :no condltlon to

flThp defeat went to the record of
PjKnovan, but no pltcher In tho world

ihe had been able to shut tho Plrate*
out untll such a tlme ln the .extra ln
nlnga aa hls owu sldo should havo
been enubled to work a run around,
Hatted Wculcly.
Cobb and Crawford had falled to hlt;
tho ball safely all day, and Bu*h h?4
