American League Pennant Winners Took the .a
Worlds Championship Series From the Cubs
Gratifying
White Sox Demonstrated Their Pronounced Superiority
aionaIe IeagueT Team

Chicago, Oct is. The Chicago
club of the American baseball league
lis the champion OF the world. BY
winning Sundays game 8 to 3, against
the local club of the National, the
Americans earned the right to float
the worlds championship pennant as
well as the pennant of the American
league, to ride to the grounds next
season In carriages, and to have
worlds champions" lettered on the
blankets worn by their horses. Sun
days game was the sixth of the series
and the fourth victory for the Ameri-
cans.
When the last National batsman
had gone out and the stunning fact
that new champions had been Gre
ated burned it's impression through
the thousands of excited minds, a
crowd surged around the box wherein
sat Charles w. Murphy, president of
the losing club. He smiled at requests
for a speech and said:
'The best team won. They won be-
cause they played the better ball. Too
much praise cannot be given to Presi-
dent Comiskey and Captain Jones and
the team which, by unprecedented
pluck, climbed in mid-season from
seventh place to the top of their own
league, and then topped off that great
accomplishment by winning the
worlds championship from the team
that made runaway race Of the Ma
tional league contest. / call for three
cheers for Comiskey and his great
team"
Cheer after cheer followed this
speech, but they were lost to the hear
ing of most of the crowd which was
busily cheering other things-the in
diyidual players, the players collec-
lively and humping said players on
the backs with such enthusiasm that
everyone of them had to fight a way
out to the waiting carriages.
And cheers for the losers were not
lacking. They had lost the greatest
distinction which baseball offers to
its votaries, but are still great team
and the crowd which followed their
carriages through crowded blocks did
not spare their throats In saying so
Comiskey's rotund face was wreath
ed in smiles long before the game
was over, for the Americans put the
victory in storage in the first two in-
nings. When Schultz went out al
first after an abortive rally and the
great series was over. Comiskey shook
hands with such of his players as he
lcouid reach. The others were fighting
to save themselves from their friends
and had no time for congratulations
save pounding each other on the back

grounds when the game was over

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 15.--The fif-

Thousands poured out of the bleach
ers and circus seats onto the grounds
while those in the stands stood up and
watched the spectacle. The yells and
screenings of noise making devices
which had rended the air all during
the game apparently to the limit, re-
doubled. 1t was pandemonium let
loose. The players tried to cling to-
getheT for mutual protection, but II
was useless. A few moments sufficed
to make each one the center of a
densely packed half lf-crazed throng out
of which each had to fight his way.
The wives of such of the Americans
as are married were waiting for their
spouses in the carriages to carry them
away safely from the hero Worship
ping mob. A crowd OF very small
boys tore the wire screen from a
ticket window after the game was
over and got onto the field merely
to stand on the historic ground and
share i'm the excitement.
That the victory was a fairly earned
one Is shown not only by the fact that
the Americans won four out of six
games, incidentally making it unnec-
essary to play the seventh, but by
hits and runs. The Americans all
told made 22 runs compared with is
by the Nationals. They made 3s
base hits as against 81 for the Nation
ais. The Nationals made but five err
rors compared with Ia by the Amer
leans. The latter also made the great
est number of extra base hits, but the
ground rules made nearly all of them
good for only two bases.
Among the expert critics OF base
ball 1t is generally admitted that tc
the American pitchers most of the
credit Is due. This despite the fact
that the American pitchers have but
26 strikeouts TO their credit, against
S5 for the Nationals. The Ameri-
cans gave 19 bases on balls as against
Is by the Nationals. Notwithstand.
ing this, the American pitchers were
, effective when hits meant runs, par
ticularly against such men as Chance
Schultz, Steinfeldt and Killing. These
men, all consistent 800 hitters, were
all but helpless during most of thu
series. On. the other hand, the Amer
leans, popularity called the "hitles.

NEW YORK, May 1S.AThe Inconsistency
of the tendency of prices in the dull rut
OF professionalism into which the stock
market is relapsing was again well il
lustrated today. The early market
showed an extension of the decline which
pecame pronounced late yesterday. At
terward there was a slow and Irregular
recovery, with increasing dullness,
amounting am practically to idleness late in
almost entirely. accounted for by the shift
ing operations of the room traders and
their inability to move prices far in
News was unimportant and without
much influence. Pennsylvania continued
TO be conspicuously, depressed. under the
JOINT influence of the revelations before
tne interstate commerce commission and
OF the heavy borrowings of the COM
pany; The latter influence was aggra-
waited by the circulation of reports of ad-
ditional loans in immediate prospect by
the company, for which no authority was
obtainable.
The money and exchange markets were
without notable incident. Call money and
loans on time up to six months contin-
ued easy In tone and rates were even
shaded to some extent but for periods
over end OF the year per cent is strongly
bid and the asking rate is 5A per cent.
Estimates of the complexion of the COM
ing ms bank statement based on the known
movements of currency pointed to only
q small decrease in the cash item, al
though the sub-treasury account shows an
absorption from the banks of over SIS
100000. This is due in large part to the
return of government funds placed on
deposit with the banks when they were
engaging gold in Europe on condition
that they should be returned upon receipt
of the gold.
There have been very large receipts of
imported gold this week and these re-
ceipts go into bank vaults to make good
the return of government deposits in the
cash showing. The banks estimate also
that the movement of cash with the in
terror by. express has been in favor of
New York on balance to the extent of
several million dollars.
Transfers of currency to San Fran
cisco through the sub-treasury were light
ngan today.
Foreign exchange rates were EASY
again, but the decline was not sufficiently
decisive to answer the question of a re-
sumption of gold imports
The decline in the wheat market and
reports of better weather conditions in
the wheat belt were concident with an
improving tone of the stock market late
in the day.
Reading showed a firm tone at times.
but Its movement was unmportant
The closing tone was heavy at the re-
covery.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
U. s. fours declined u per cent on call.

Despite the coal strike and interrup-

week of May were 1912 per cent larger
than in the corresponding week last
year. Foreign commerce In April sur
passed the same month I'm any preceding

exports lost S1,2S0,6 ,609 in Comparison
with last years figures.
Strength still prevails In the hide
market, although large tanners are not
operating freely. but numerous small
