TRIPLE WINS
FOR THE SOX
American Leaguers Now Need to
Win But Half of Remaining -Four
Games at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-The game be
tween the Chicago teams of the Ma
tional and American league was a bat
tie royal between pitchers, and the
Americans were victorious by - score
of 3 to 0.
Twenty-one batsmen struck out. For
twelve of these the credit goes to
Walsh. In addition he gave only one
pass and allowed but two hits. in the
first inning. Thereafter the Nationals,
until the ninth inning, never had any
sort of a chance to score.
According to the official count. 1850
enthusiasts, encouraged by slightly
warmer weather, We're present when
the game began. Pfeister, the left
handed pitcher, went into the box for
the Nationals. 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 he went to pieces. and the
game was lost. Tannehill, reputed to
be a weak batter, singled down the
third base line. Somewhat discomfort
ed, Pfeister allowed Walsh to walk and
a moment later hit Hahn in the face
breaking his nose. A doctor was call
ed, and O'Neill went to first for Hahn
and finished the game for him.
The bases We're now full with no
body out. A pandemonlum of cheers
from American league sympathizers
broke loose. Ffeister pulled himself
together, and there was Il sigh of re
lief from National league supporters
when Captain Jones fouled out to
King. Isbell, one of the teams best
batsmen ordinarily, struck out for the
third time during the game. Then
came Robe, the substitute, to bat. 1t
was this light haired young man, whose
occidental presence by reason of Da-
vls' Illness in Tuesdays game, brought
victory to the Americans. Again the
fate of the game depended on him, and
again he did not fail.
He waited patiently for a ball that
suited him and then swung with all
his strength. The ball bounded like
a jack rabbit down the third base line
and under the benches in left field.
Tannehill, Walsh and O'Neill crossed
the plate amidst wild cheers 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 inning
Holman sent a clean single to center.
Sheckard struck out, and then Hof-
nan killed all chances to score by try
ing to steal second, where he was
thrown out. The next moment Schultz
doubled to left, but it did no good, for
Chance went out.
In the ninth Gessler went to bat for
Pfeister and reached first because Is
bell fumbled his grounder for a mo-
ment. Holman went out, via Isbell,
Gessler reaching second. Sheckard
for the second time missed three good
ones. Gessler beat Sullivan's throw
to third because the catcher juggled
the ball for a moment. A hit meant a
run, but Schultz became a victim of
Walsh's curves, and the third game of
the worlds championship series was
over.
1t took a large force of policemen to
protect Walsh and Robe from their
frenzied admirers who thronged on to
the field.
Evers, Tinker and Tannehill divided
the fielding honors.
