CHICAGO. Oct. 12.-The game DO
tween the Chicago teams OF the Ma
tional and American league was bat
tie royal between pitchers, and the
Americans were victorious 10y score
OF 8 TO O.
Twanty-one batsmen struck out. For
twelve OF these the credit goes 10
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 20 score.
According 10 the official count, 1850
enthusiasts, encouraged by slightly
warmer weather, were present when
the game began. Pfelster, the left
handed pitcher. went Into the box for
the Nationals. His control at first was
good. but by no means perfect. He
quickly steadled, however. and pitched
superbly until the sixth inning. II
was here he went 90 pieces, and the
game was lost. Tannehlll, reputed TO
be weak batter, singled down the
third base line. Somewhat dlsconcert-
cd. Pfelster allowed Walsh to walk and
moment Inter 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 were now full with no
body out. A pandemonlum Of cheers
from American league sympathlzers
broke loose. Ffelster pulled himself
together. and there was sigh OF re
lief from National league supporters
when Captain Jones fouled out TO
Killing. Isbeli, one OF the teams best
batsmen ordinarily. struck out for the
third time during the game. Then
came Robe, the substitute, TO bat. II
was this light haired young man, whose
accidental presence by reason OF Da-
Wis 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 ball that
suited han aud 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
| Hoffman sent a clean single 10 center.
| Sheckard struck out, and then Hof-
man killed all chances to score by try
| ing TO steal second, where he was
thrown out. The next moment Schultz
| doubled to left, but II did no good, for
| Chance went out, Isbell to D0nohue.
| Thereafter till the ninth the Nation
| ais never gave 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 the
| Nationals swung viclously at his Of
| ferings. but before the contest was
half over they were fishing for the
ball, seemingly trying merely to touch
1t. Any kind Of hit would have look
ed good, but mostly when they didn't
strike out they rolled puny grounders
to second or short and were out easily.
| In the ninth Gessler went to bat for
| Pfelster and reached first because Is
bell fumbled his grounder for a mo-
ment. Hoffman 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 victim Of
Walsh's curves, and the third game OF
the worlds championship series was
| over.
1t took large force Of policemen to
protect Walsh and Robe from their
frenzied admirers who thronged on to
tho field.
Evers, Tinker and Tannehill divided
the fielding honors.
