CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 11.--Certaiuly no
pennant race in the history Of the Ma
tlonal league has caused the friends OF
the two leading clubs in the struggle
greater degree OF anxiety; has to SO
great an extent hlled hearts with fear on
one side and hope on the other; has
caused more intense interest and aroused
more excitement than that which closed
with the week Just passed. And now
that the prolonged fight Of six months
and more is over now that II has been
decided that the pennant Of 1886 shall
cast its shadow across the diamond at
White Stocking park when the opening
game in the season of 1887 IL called,
q feeling OF relief and salts
faction at the teams good work
has settled down upon the base ball
loving community in lChicago--and that
means no inconsiderable portion Of our
big city's population while feeling OF
resignation has found its way into the
souls Of Detroiters, softened by the con-
seriousness that the Wolverines need not
blush for their game, although 1t has not
been winning one. Detroit has played
good ball; the Kind Of ball that admirers
OF the game love to see, and had they
gone agar ct any other team than the
Phillies last Saturday for the last two
games OF the season, the chances are that
the pennant might have still been any
body's flag, even though Chicago
had won her game with Boston
as she did, for under the League
constitution Detroit would have been
privileged to play of her postponed game

! it would have counted as championship
game. Had Detroit won the three
games she would have tied the race for
the pennant, even though Chicago had
won with Boston, and had Chicago lost,
! Detroit would have taken the flag. With
tnns knowledge for reflection you can well
imagine that interest in this city up to
and during the time that the returns Of
the first game at Philadelphia were being
received (Detroit and Philadelphia played
a postponed as well as schedule game
Saturday ofternoon) was at lever heat.

had been played, and 1t was known that

felt easier in mind, but still not conf.
