chicago, Oct 1.-THE Detroit
American league team suffered its sec.
ond successive defeat at the hands OF
thx Chicago Nationals Thursday. scor-
ing only one run. Chicago tailed five
tiites. four of the runs being the re-
sun of solid hitting. Siever started
tot pitch for Detroit. but the locals
took kindly to his curves and batted
him out of the box in four innings.
Killian then took up the work and
was found for three. hits and another
run in the fifth.
petroit tried vainly to break
through the Chicagos defense. Reul-
haeh pitched strongly in the opening
in4tngs and when he showed signs of
weakening in the fifth and sixth in
nings' his team mates came to his res.
cue with fast double plays.
For some unexplainable reason the
game failed to attract the usual large
crowd to the grounds. The official
attendance figures made the total 49,.
ia and the many empty spaces in the
extended bleachers made the gather.
ing appear even smaller than this. At
that. the crowd was more demonstrat.

early innings and the crashing hits Of
