BASE BALL TID-BITs.

| DrOWH got ms. TO lose two games
 in three was hard Vnes for the cham
 pion pitchers of the National league. Holman's work in the series has earned him place on the regular Cub l team next season. It is said that he
 will play center and Slagle become
 utility man.
 l Chance and his men are heart
 broken. They had relied on winning
 the series, and many of them had bet more than the losing end of their mon- | ey. They are dispirited crowd. After it was too late Chance and
 Murphy bitterly bewailed the fact that they didn't think enough of Overall to | use him as a starter. His work in the last two games was splendid. The Cubs had a big bulge on the team batting averages of the series till the final game, but the White SOx made enough hits Sunday to more than make it even. Chances men have
 much the better fielding record. Umpire O'Loughlin saw a large middle aged man on the Sox's bench roofing madly in one inning Sun l day. Silk chased the large man out and he retired, lowing and waving his hat, amid vast applause. It was Captain Anson.
 Hahn's broken nose seemed to help him bat. He had done almost no hitting up to the time the beak was concerned. The broken nose treat ment, however,is hardly likely to be- come popular, despite the great sue cess In the case of MT Hahn. Fielder Jones thinks that culf, but. t0hs bearing the pictures Of AltrOck and White would do nicely for pres- ents. And on the manly bosom of each athlete he would hang dla- mond sunburst or medallion display ing the pink resemblance of E. Walsh. An odd thing about the series was the fact that no pitcher got through with only joy and pride. Altrock won Sunday, but was driven out in the second game Walsh won on Thursday and had to quit on Satur- day. The Cub pitchers had even harder and more varied fortune. At the close of the game Charles | Comiskey capped all the great and royal baseball benefactions ever heard of. He drew his personal check for | S15,0CO and the money is to be divid- ed among the players of the team. Even Roth and Quinlin, who were in- eligible for the big series, will get their share.
 While the official attendance was given out as 1929, there must have been 23,000 persons there. Every usher and every policeman was work ing a golden graft. Coppers tore boards off fences and let fans through for a dollar of two head and the ushers slipped hundreds through the side gates.
 To the victor belong the horse blankets, also about S1.4O0 each. The Cubs get less than $500 per athlete and the solace of knowing they tried their best and failed. In the eyes of the nearwise-the ones who bet md placed their money wrong-the race bore the earmarks of a sellingplater running away with a stake horse. Long before the battle opened the Sox were .touted sure losers at 2 to and sometimes , to 1.
 There was tenth man on the Sox side. but his name will not he found in the tabulated score. This unknown was a quiet little person who was sitting on the ground in right field. With the Sox booming away In the first inning and the fight at a stage where a hit or out meant everything long fly went out to Scllulte- Back ing into the crowd. Sehulte made ready for the catch. and just then the unknown man arose. kicked Schulie lightly but firmly and discoucsrted him SO tha; the ball fell safe. Schulte sought fer him a moment later and yearnei to mee; and converse With him. hut he had gone. and no man could Identify him.
