Chicago. October 12.-The worlds cham pionship baseball series is again even, the local National league team today defeat- ing the American leaguers oie to noth- Ing. Each side has now won two games Curiously enough both National victories have been on the American grounds. while the White Sox have earned success on their rivals field.
 Altrock 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 good judgment He gave only two passes and allowed only two hits He had the Americans hitless until the sixth inning, when, with two out, Hahn hit clean to center Jones' however, promptly ended the inning by flying out to Schulte.
 Looked Dangerous In Second.
 The Nationals looked dangerous as early al the second inning. when stenfeldt hit to center and reached third on Tinkers sacrifice and Evers' out. King, always q formidable batsman, was up and Al trock deliberately attempted to pass him with the hope that Brown, the next bat ter would go out easily. Kling, however, reached out 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 magnifi- cent catch
 The Americans made their only real bid for the game when Rohe reached first on steinfeldt's bad throw, and reached third on a sacrifice and an out. Brown, how ever. 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 in the seventh. Chance sent fly to short right field, and reached third on a sacrifice by stenfeldt and Tinker Evers placed a pretty single over third base and Chance scored.
 Hopes Raised In Ninth.
 In the ninth Mcfarland batted for AL trook and went out, Steinfeldt to Chance. Hahn flew out to Tinker. Then Jones raised the huttering hopes of his support CTS by waiting for four bad ones and go- ing to second when a ball got past kllng and hit the umpire. Under the rules Jones was entitled to base. good hit would have tied the game at this point, and with the massive Isbell at the bat the hopes of the Americans were high. The big second baseman viciously swung at a waist-hish ball and connected squarely. It went like a cannon shot right al Browns face Brown barely had time to get his hands on the ball and the force of the blow laid him flat 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 had pitched masterly game ana the usual crowd of enthusiasts swarmed on to the field and fought for chance to pat him on the back. He had fairly to fight to get out of the grounds.
 The weather was by far the most pleas ant of the series and the attendance cor respondngly increased, the official count showing 1885 paid admissions. This was the last game in which the players share the gate receipts Total receipts for the four games were $Gl, ,S55, of which S3, l0i 'O goes to the players. Of this sum 70 per cent will go to the team winning the series and the remainder to the losing team. Score.
