tional League team defeated the De-
trnit pennant winners of the American
League in the second game of the Sc
ries 70. the worlds championship this
afternoon. The score was ) TO !. Slow
ritching and several slight accidents
caused :hc contest to drag out over tw"
hours, the delays trying the paticnc"
of the big crowd which again filled al
most every inch of seating room.
Tho local team discarded the new
gray uniforms in which they appeared
Yesterday, appearing in their Soiled and
worn white hon" uniforms. The change
seemed to put them moro at ease, and
also apparently benefited the Detroit
players, for both teams played more
steadily than on the opening day. At

had dragged through l hour and 81
minutes. some sparkling fielding and
sharp hitting and base running hasten
ed the contest to an end.

place of Schmidt Otherwise the teams
Tired up as on the preceding day.
Schmidt's retirement was due primarily
to his inaccurate throwing, but in this
rccpect the change brought small i'm
provement. rs the five stolen bases
credited to the local team testify.
Playing conditions were improved for
the second game, the crowd numbering
81 9O1 as against over 24,O 900 Yesterday
while warm sunshine and the absence

spectators and players in more COM
fort. What wind there was blew across
the diamond and aided the play more
than it hindered it.

fcature of the contest. scored the first
