CHICAGO. oct 1.-THE worlds
championship baseball series is again
even, the local National league team
today defeating the American league
1 to O. Each side has now won two
games. Curiously enough, both Ma
tional victories have been on the Ameri-
can grounds, while the White Stockings
have earned success on their rivals
field.
Altrocl for the Americans and Brown
for the Nationals the pitchers who op-
posed each other in the opening game,
which was won by Altrock's team,
again contested for supremacy today.
Brown was at his best. He showed
nerve, speed, control and intelligence in
serving to the batsmen the kind of
curves they like the least. He gave
only two passes and allowed only two
hits.
He held the Americans hittless until
the sixth inning, when, with two out,
Hahn hit cleanly to center Jones',
however, promptly ended the inning by
flying out to Schultz.
The Nationals looked dangerous as
early as the second inning, when Stein
feldt hit to center and reached third on
Tinker's sacrifice and Evers' out.
Killing, always formidable batsman,
was up, and Altrock deliberately at
tempted to pass him with the hope that
Brown, the next batter, would go out
easily, after the fashion of most
pitchers.
Killing, however, reached for one of the
wide ones and lifted a mighty fly into
right field. Hahn, however, raced back
and saved the day, at least temporarily,
by making a magnificent catch while
bending back over the wire cable used
to hold back the crowd.
Chance Scores
The Americans made their only real
bid for the game when Robe reached
first on Steinfeldtss bad throw and
reached third on sacrifice and an out.
Brown, however, showed his nerve by
striking out Davis, who was again back
in the game at short.
The Nationals earned the run which
won the game. Chance sent fly to
short right field and reached third on
sacrifices by Steinfelddt and Tinker.
Evers placed a pretty single over third
base and Chance scored.
In the ninth Mcfarland batted for
Altrock and went out, Steinfeldt to
Chance Hahn flew out to Tinker
Then Jones raised the fiuttering hopes
of his supporters by waiting for four
bad ones and going to second when a
ball got past King and hit the umpire.
According to the rules Jones was en-
titled to base.
A good hit would have tied the game
at this point, and with the massive
Isbell at bat the hopes of the Americans
were high. The big second baseman
swung viciously at a waist-high ball
and connected squarely. 1t went like a
cannon shot right at Browns face.
Brown had barely time to get his
hands on the ball, and the force Of the
blow laid him fiat on his back For a
moment it looked as If he had been
dazed by the fall, but he recovered and
threw out the runner, ending the game.
Brown Is Great
Brown had pitched a mastery game
and the usual crowd of enthusiasts
swarmed into the field and fought for
a chance to pat him on the back. He
had fairly to fight to get out of the
grounds.
Hoffman, who had made a magnih-
cent running catch in right center of
Hahn's long, low fly; Evers who had
turned apparent hits into putouts, and
Captain Chance also came in for their
share of appreciation.
The weather was by far the most
pleasant of the series, and although the
majority of spectators wore heavy
wraps, they really were not cold. The
attendance reflected the improved
weather conditions, the actual showing
1885 paid admissions
This was the last game in which the
players share the gate money. Total
receipts for the four games were $61, S15,
of which $33, ,4O2 goes to the players. OF
this sum rs per cent Will go to the team
winning the series and the remainder
to the losers.
At O'Clock the crowd outside the
gates was the greatest ever seen on the
South Side. 1t was impossible to get
street cars through the throngs.
President ComislSy said he believed
10000 persons would be on hand by 8
o'clock.
The sun shone brilliantly and the
wind had lost its chill. Long before II
o'clock the enthusiasts began to form
in line at the various entrances, all
eager to get the pick of the choice seats.
BY 1890 between 5000 and 1000 persons
were on hand. AS was the case yes
terday, the bleachers filled up first and
were congested before 1880 o'clock.
Hahn Is Game
Hahn, who had the bridge of his
nose broken in yesterdays game, was
out in uniform today and prepared to
take his place in right field.
The Americans appeared on the field
at / O'Clock and Immediately got into
batting practice, and such a rousing
reception given each man has never
been heard before in a baseball park.
Robe is suffering from a split finger
on his throwing hand, which gave him
much pain. Davis was out in uniform
for the first time during the series
He still complained of his sore back,
but said he would try to get back IN
the game If possible.
Manager Jones, however, said he did
not believe he would take Robe out of
the game even though Davis did play
II was therefore taken for granted that
Robe might take Tannehil's place.
The Nationals arrived at 1880 and
were enthusiastically greeted.
