Chicago. Oct. 10-The Cubs are into the
swing Of their best speed, and when they
are going that way it requires excep-
tional playing to stop them. They are
out TO avenge their loss OF the world S
championship last season, and they took
a step nearer that goal to-day,
when they once more obscured the radi-
ance OF the champions of the American
League. 1t was the third game of the
SERIES and the most decisive of the three.
The Detroits fought with ali the fight
there is IN them-and they have not
weakened or curled Up in the least-to
square accounts to-day. but they We're
forced 10 yield TO a superior game. The
Tiger went down groggy from the heavy
and solidly landed blows of the rampant
Cub but he went down splitting and
clawing back.
ReuIbach the Stumbling Block.
Much more proficiency behind the bat
stood out prominently in Chicago's favor
in the first two games; to-day it was a
better conducted pitching department
that made the Cubs the winners all the
way. Reulbach greatly excelled Siever,
the Chicago pitcher Offering his curves
over the disk with a snap and a swish
that made run-getting all but a lost art
for the Detroits.
The Cubs, on the other hand. soon mas
tered the left-handed pitching of Siever
and drove him out Of the game. Knliln
pitched the last five innings for Detroit,
and with him the Chicagos had none the
better Of the pitching.
Chicago Wakes Up.

teams crumpled and retired before the
pitching in the first inning That also
was the case with the Detroits in the
second, but for Chicago a run was earned
on doubles by Steinfeldt and Evers. The
ChiCagos rested in the third, only to open
Up again In the fourth. King padded TO
first on a safe splash to right, and Evers
moved him up base with a safety TO
the same meadow. Schultz crowded a
single 10 center, and Kling drifted home.
Evers tried to take third on the hit and
was run down by the Wide-awake Detroit
fielders.

The DetrOits had men on bases in the
seventh and ninth innings, but the local
teams defense, both in the outfield and

the base runners could make no sub
stantial progress.
