SEVER HIT HARD
 IN FOURTH INNING Jennings Tigers Are Again De- feated by National League
 Champions. [ REULBACH IS INTANGIBLE Teams Go to Detroit to Play Games To-day and
 morrow.

Chicago, Oct. 10. The Detroit American league team, suffered its second successive defeat at the hands of the Chicago Nationals to-day, SCOT ing only one run. Chicago tailed hVe times, four of the runs being the re- suit of solid hitting. Siever started to pitch for Detroit, but the locals LOOK kindly to his curves and oatteu mn out of the box in four innings. hll- Han then took up the work and was found for three hits and another run in the fifth.
 Detroit tried vainly to break through the Chicago's defense. Ruel- bach pitched strongly in the opening innings and when he showed signs or weakening in the fifth and sixth in- nings, his teammates came to ms res cue with fast double plays. The game failed to attract the l usual large crowd to the grounds. The officials figures made the total 1S,114. However, the crowd was more dem onstrative than on Wednesday. Reul- bach's brilliant pitching in the early innings and the crashing hits of Stein- feldt, Elvers and Sheckard reused the { Chicago parffsans to enthusiastic \ cheers.
 The play was much faster than on the preceding days. Only thirteen batsmen faced ReuIbach in the first four innings while Chicago hit Siever freely. The first run came in the second inning when Steinfeldt lined the ball over third base, reaching second on the hit. Kling sacrificed and Evers sent a double over first base. Steinfeldt scored but Evers x was left when Schulte and Tinker were retired on infleld grounders'
 With Reulbach going at top speed, the one run looked sufficient to win, but the Nationals went after Siever's curves energetically in the fourth
 steinfeldt drove long fly to left field to start the inning, Jones getting the
 ball near the boundary. Kling followed 2 with a hard single to right. Evers sent him to third with another drive { to the same territory and Schulte dropped a fly safely in center, Kling scoring. Eyers tried to make third on the hit, but was caught, Sehulte ad- vancing to second. Tinker lifted high l fly to Jones, but the left fielder dropped
 the ball, Schulte scoring and Tinker
 going to third. Reulbach caught a
 low ball over second base, sending
 Tinker home. Coughlin then caught g Slagle's high fly.
 2 Manager Jennings decided that Sle- ! yer had. failed to make good, so Kill s Han appeared in the next inning. He
 was greeted warmly enough, two
 doubles and. hard single being got off his delivery. Only one run result
 ed, however, as the hits alternated with outs. Chance, secured the first double and consequently scored the run. For the next three innings the locals went out in order, except in the sev- enth when steinfeldt received base on balls after two were out. Kings high twisting foul to Coughlin fol- lowed.
 Detroit lost It's first chance to score { in the fifth because Tinker intercepted liner and turned the catch into a double play. Rossman was first up and was safe when his hard hit STounder bounced off Tinkers ankle Coughlin was passed and Schmidt's grounder down the first base line advanced both runners. O'Leary smashed a hard liner at Tinker and the latter jumped for the ball and stepped on second ahead of Coughlin, retiring the side
 The run came in the next inning. Killian made the first clean hit off Reulbach. Jones received a base on I balls and then was doubled up with K Schaefer in lightning play, Stein- { feldt to Evers to Chance. Crawford 4 and Cobb followed with hits, Killian r scoring on the former, but Slagle went back to the stands and captured Ross mans effort
 Another chance to score was lost In \ the next inning. With one down, Schmidt walked, O'Leary struck out & and Killian scratched a hit towards Fvers. Jones was not equal to the emergency, going out, Tinker to i8 Chance. Rossman started the ninth with a hit, but was forced at second E by Coughlin who was forced to re- main on first while Schmidt and H O'Leary lifted easily caught flies, The teams left for Detroit tonight, accom- panied by a small army of enthusiasts
