CHICAGO, Oct. l2.-The worlds
championship baseball series is again

games. Curiously enough, both Ma
tiopal victories have been on the Amer

have earned, success on their rivals
field.
Altreek, for the Americans. and
Brown, for tae Nationals, the pitchers
who opposed each other in the opening
game, which was won by Altrock's
team, again contested for supremacy
today. Brown was at his best. He
showed nerve, speed. control and intel-
ligence in serving to the batsmen the
kind of curves they like the least. He
gave only two passes and allowed only
two hits. He held the Americans hit
less until the sixth inning, when. with
two out Hahn hit ,,leanly TO center.
jones. however, promptly ended the
inning by hying out to Schultz
The Nationals looked dangerous as
early as the second inning, when Stein
feldt hit TO center and reached third
on Tinker's sacrifice and Evers' out.
Killing, always a formidable batsman,
was up, and Altrock deliberately at
tempted to pass him, with the hope
that Brown. the next batter. would go
out easily after the fashion of most
pitchers King, however, reached for
one of the wide ones and lifted
mighty fy into right field Hahn. how
ever, raced back and saved the day, at
least temporarily. by making a mag
nideent catch while bending back over
the wire cable used to hold back the
crowd.
The Americans made their only real

FIRST on Steinfeldt's bad throw and
reached third on sacrifice and an out.
Brown, however. showed his nerve by
striking out Davis, who was again back
in the game at short.
The Nationals earned the run which
won the game. Chance sent a fly to
short right field and reached third on
sacrifices by steinfeldt and Tinker.
EYers placed a pretty single over third
base and Chance scored.
In the ninth AfcE Earland batted for
Altrock and went OUT Steinfeldt to
Chance. Hahn few out TO Tinker Then
Jones raised the futtering hopes of his
supporters by waiting for four bad ones
and going to second when ball got
past King and hit the umpire. IN
der the rules Jones was entitled to a
base A good hit would have tied the
game at this point and with the mas
sive Ishell at the bat the hopes of the
Americans were high. The big second
baseman swung viciously at the waist
high ball and connected squarely. 1t
went like a cannon shot right at
Browns face. Brown bad barely time
to get his hands on the ball and the
force of the blow laid him fat On his
back. Fer a moment it looked as II he
had been dazed by the fall but he re-
covered and threw cut the runner, end
ing the game.
Brown had pitched a mastery game
and the usual crowd of enthusiasts
swarmed into the field and fought for
q chance to pat him on the back. He
had fairly to fight TO get out of the
grounds. Hoffman, who had made
magnificent running catch in right CEN
ter of Hahns long low fly; Evers who
had turned apparent hits into put outs,
and Captain Chance also came in for
their share of applause.
The weather was by far the best and
most pleasant of the series. and al
though the majority of spectators wore
heavy wraps, they really were not
needed. The attendance reflected the
improved weather, the official count
showing 1885 paid admissions.
This was the last game in which the
players share the gate money. The
total receipts for the four games were
s6Is55, of which $33,402 goes to the
players. OF this sum 10 per cent will
go to the team winning the series and
the remainder to the losers. The score:
