Chicago Americans Won
That Title
BY YESTERDAYS VICTORY
Superior Batting Enabled Them to Take
Their Fourth Game, the Score Being
s to S-Brown Was Knocked
Out Of the Box.

Chicago, Oct. 10 The Chicago club Of
the American Baseball league became
the champions Of the world BY winning
yesterdays game, 5 to ., against the
local club Of the National league. The
game was the sixth Of the series and
the fourth victory for the Americans
That the victory was fairly earned Is
shown not only BY the fact that the
Americans won four ont Of SIX games,
but BY the hits and runs. The Ameri.
cans all told made 20 runs, compared
with as by the Nationals They made
80 base hits, as against 81 by the Ma
tionals. The Nationals made but five
errors compared with IA by the Ameri
cans. The latter made the greater NUM-
Der of extra base hits, but the ground
rules made nearly all OF them good for
only two bases.
Among che expert critics of baseball,
it is generally admitted that 20 the
American pitchers most Of the credit IL
due, despite the fact that they have but
26 strikcouts to their credit against IS
by the Nationals pitchers. They gave
10 bases ON balls as against rs by the
Nationals Notwithstanding this, the
American pitchers were effective when
hits meant runs. On the other hand the
Americans batted more strongly than
their opponents, who during the season
lad done the heaviest batting in the
National league. In stealing bases the
Nationals had a shade over the Ameri-
cans. King and Sullivan, who caught
during the entire series, were both for
midable, but Of the total rs bases stolen,
the Nationals got eight. f
Americans Batted Heavily.
A total of IA hits, two Of them dom
hles, tells the story Of how yesterdays
game was won. Captain Chance elected
TO place NIortiecai Brown in the box,
although Brown had pitched d hard game
on Friday The Americans connected
with his weakened delivery for eight
safe hits in one and two-thirds innings
and he retired. Overall was then called
upon and held the Americans to six
hits and one run the remainder of the
game His support was excellent Time
and again Tinker and Evers by blocking
hits prevented runs, as did Holman IN
center by spectacular running catches.
Sbeekard also made great backward
running catch, which kept the score
down
When the Americans assumed a lead
OF six runs, the National players were
o grimIy determined lot, but try as they
would they could not solve the puzzling
delivery Of DIR. White.
