CHICAGO, oct. 1O.--In the second
game Of the worlds championship SER
les today the National league team
took decisive revenge for yesterdays
defeat when they vanquished the
| White Stockings on the latter's grounds
| to 1.
Owen, who replaced White in the
fourth inning, was batted freely and
the American league teams errors also
helped to increase the Nationals score.
Reulbach, on the contrary, was in fine
form and allowed the opposing bats
men only two hits.
The weather was bitterly cold. the
mercury lowering at or below the
freezing point all afternoon. AS was
the case yesterday q few flakes of
snow fell. Between 10000 and $4,000
persons, bundled from head to foot,
braved the rigors of the weather.
with frost nipping fingers and toes,
perfect baseball was an impossibility.
The practice Of both teams was ex-
ceedingly ragged, the cold hands of
the infielders refusing to cling to the
| ball, while the outfielders missed many
flies: In actual play the form was
much better.
The Nationals started the trouble
In the second inning. Captain Chance
received an ovation as he stepped to
the plate, but failed to hit three good
ones. Then Steinfeldt sent scorch-
ing single to left. Tinker laid down
perfect bunt and beat 1t to first,
Steinfeldt reaching second.
Evers rolled an easy one down to
1sbell, who in his haste to make q
double play tossed the ball into left
field. Steinfeldt scored, Tinker took
third and Evers perched securely on
second. White deliberately allowed
King to walk, but Reulbach sacrificed
Tinker home and Evers scored a mo-
| ment later on Hoffman's safe drive.
| hling, however, was out at the plate.
The half closed with three runs over
the plate and the enthusiasm of the
National supporters broke loose with
vigor which took no thought of sore
| throats.
The next run for the Nationals came
when Chance was safe on a fielder's
choice. He stole second and went to
third when Isbell failed to hold Sui
livan'S bad throw. He scored when
Steinfeldt raped out his second clean
| single.
| The Americans lone run came in the
| fifth when Dougherty was safe on
| fielder's choice; he took second on a
wild pitch and scored when Tame
| hills grounder went past Tinker, who
was confused by the base runner. The
| White Stockings never even threatened
again except when Jones reached sec-
ond on his own hit and reached third
on an out. Donahue, however, flew
out to left and Jones was caught yards
from the plate by Sheckard's perfect
| throw.
| In the sixth two singles, double
| steal by Tinker and Evers and Sulli-
vans wild throw to third, the ball roll
ing into the crowd let Tinker across
| the plate. In the eighth two more
tallies resulted from Chances single,
Steinfeldt's sacrifice, Chances pretty
steal to third and Tinkers single,
which brought in Chance. Tinker stole
second. went to third on Evers out and
came home on a, wild pitch.
| Steinfeldt's batting and Reulbach's
pitching were easily the features of the
| game.
When the gates opened long line
| of men and women was waiting for ad-
mission. A steady stream passed
| through the gates from II o'clock. 1t
was estimated that $1,000 persons were
| present and still coming. The major
| ity of the patrons early at the grounds
were women.
Many persons brought furs, horse
blankets and bed quilts. These were
wrapped about their feet and legs to
keep out the cold winds.
Operators worked with heavy gloves
on their hands.
