CHICAGO. oct. 1S-Out of a bed
lam Of errors, long hits, vanquished
pitchers and the vociferations of half
frenzied spectators, the Chicago Amer
lean league team emerged victorious
over the Nationals today, 8 to s.
The Americans won in spite of five
ehastly errors which we're accountable
for nearly all the runs made by the
Nationals. The Nationals lost because
they could not hit Walsh's spit ball.
The Americans fielded like amateurs
and the Nationals fielding perfectly,
batted very much in the negative.
Time after time when a hit meant
runs the batters with the impressive
averages failed to live up to their
regulations.
The day was warm--the best baseball
weather of the series. Twenty-Five
thousand persons worked themselves
into the National league grounds and
at 1:4O O'Clock, fifty minutes before
the time set for play to begin, the SELL
ing of tickets was concluded. The
noise makers were out in force, and
the sky was full of kites recommending
that votes be cast in every direction
at the coming local election.
The Americans began business with
vigor. Hahn, the first man up, drove
q single over second. Jones sacrificed
and Hahn scored on Isbell's double to
right Davis hit weakly, but was safe
when IsbelI was tagged out between
second and third. Rohe promptly fol-
lowed with a double to left. Reulbach
was apparently nervous and allowed
Donohue to walk, filling the bases.
Dougherty, however, went out by the
narrowest possible margin, and two
runs were kept from counting.
The Nationals in their half piled up
three runs without much credit to
themselves. Schultz hit safely, but
Hoffman was held at second. Chance
was hit by the ball and the bases were
filled. Steinfeldt forced Chance at
second and Hoffman scored, but Isbell,
attempting to make a double play,
threw the ball into the crowd and
Schultz also scored, Steinfeldt reach
ing second Tinker knocked an easy
one to Walsh, who threw low, and
Steinfeldt scored. Tinker went out
stealing.
The Americans evened matters in
the third. Isbell again hit for two
bases this time to left field, and Davis
followed with another, scoring Isbell.
At this point Captain Chance substi-
tuted Pfeister in the pitchers box.
He began by striking out Rohe.
Donohue was given pass.
Dougherty forced Donohue and Davis
reached third and scored on a nea'
double steal. 1t was clever piece o.
work. Sullivan ended the inning b.
striking out, and 1t was anybody
game.
In the fourth the Americans clncheC
the game with four runs and inciden
tally sent Pfeister to join Reulbach OIL
the bench. Pfeister allowed Walsh t.
walk, and Hahn forced him. Jones hi
safely over third. Isbell sent his thirt
double to right center and Hahn scored
Isbell and Jones scored a momen
later when Davis hit to left for two
bases. At this point Pfeister went ou
and Overall went in. He inauguratet
his reign by passing Robe, following
which Donohue doubled to left anc
Davis scored. The American league
partisans were fairly wild with delight
The so-called "hitless wonders" haC
driven two pitchers to the bench anc
seemed about to treat the third one
likewise.
The scoring, however, for this inning
ended when Schultz captured Dough
erty's fly off his shoestrings and caught
Robe at theNblate when the latter tried

Americans. Tinker was safe wher

and scored on wild pitch.
In the sixth Isbell scored on his fourth
