CHICAGO, oct. 11.-Today's game be-
tween the Chicago teams Of the Ma
fional and American leagues was a bat
tie royal between pitchers, and the
American league won, to 0.
Twenty-one batsmen struck out; for
twelve these the credit goes to Walsh
In addition he gave only one pass and
. allowed but two hits, In the first in
ming. There after the Nationals until
the ninth inning never had any sort of
a chance to score
According to the official count 1880
enthusiasts, encouraged by slightly
warmer weather, were present when the
game began. PfeiSter, the left-handed
pitcher, went into the box for the Ma
tionals.
His control at first was good but by
no means perfect. He quickly steadied,
however, and pitched superbly until
the sixth inning. 1t was here that he
went to pieces and the game was lost.
Tannehill, reputed to be a weak bat
ter, singled down the third base line.
Somewhat Disconnected Pfeister al
lowed Walsh to walk and moment
later hit Hahn in the nose, breaking it.
A doctor was called and O'Neil1 went
to first for Hahn and finished the game
for him.
The bases were now full with nobody
out. A pandemOnium of cheers from
American league sympathizerS broke
loose. Pfeister pulled himself together
and there was a sigh of relief from Ma
tional league supporters when Captain
Jones fouled to Killing. Isbell, one Of
the teams best men ordinarily, struck
out for the third time during the game.
Then came Rohe, the substitute, 10
bat. 1t was this light-haired young
man whose accidental presence by
reason of Davis illness in Tuesdays
game, brought victory to the Ameri-
cans. Again the fate of the game de-
pended on him and again he did not
fail. He waited patiently for a ball that
suited him and swung with all his
strength.
The ball bounded like a jackrabbit
down the third base line and under the
benches in left field. Tannehill, Walsh
and O'Neill crossed the plate amid
wild cheering and the noise of many
megaphones, while the author of the
scores stood on third base receiving the
congratulations of his team mates.
Donohue sent a weak fly to Evers and
the agony was over.
On their part the Nationals started
out like winners. In the first Hoffman
sent clean single to center. Sheckard
struck out and then Hoffman killed all
chances to score by trying to steal Sec
ond, where he was thrown out. The
next moment Schultz doubled to left,
but it did no good, for Chance went
out, Isbell to Donohue. Thereafter
until the ninth the Nationals never
gave a hint of designs on the home
plate. Walsh held them completely at
his mercy, apparently growing stronger
and steadier every inning.
When the game began they swung
viciously at his offerings, but before the
contest was half over they were fish
ing for the ball, seemingly trying mere
ly to touch it. Any kind of a hit would
have looked good, but mostly when
they did not strike out they rolled
puny grounds to second or were out
easy.
In the ninth Gessler went to bat for
Pfeister and reached first base, Isbell
fumbling his grounder for a moment.
Hoffman went out via IsbelI, Gessler
reaching second. Sheckard for the sec
ond time missed three good ones. Cess
Ter beat Sullivan's throw to third be-
cause the catcher juggled the ball for
a moment. A hit meant a run, but
Schultz became a victim OF Walshs
curves and the third game for the
worlds championship was over.
1t took large force of policemen to
protect Walsh and Robe from their
frenzied admirers, who thronged into
the field, but they finally reached their
carriage without being hoisted on any
body's shoulders.
Evers, Tinker and TannehiIl divided
the fielding honors. Score:
