OFF FOR CLOSING CONTESTS
DEPARTURE OF JENNINGS AND
HIS BAND FOR ST. LOUIS.

Like lot of kittens with their mother
the Tigers. with Jennings, boarded train
for St. Louis last night. They will arrive
there some time this evening in time for
a good nights rest in preparation for their
games with the st. Louis Browns.
When Jennings was seen by Star re-
porter last night he said he had about
run out of things nice to say about his
team, and as long as there wasn't anything
bad to tell he was up tree so far as an
interview was concerned. However, after
little persuasion he let loose the follow

task we have practically landed the COW
eted bunting. 1t has been our goal all
the purpose Of winning the ribbon, and
have achieved that purpose. 1t was some
time before our team developed its full
speed. but once that was attained we kept
pace with the champions of the world and
finally passed them.
THE real thing that has put US where
We are Is the harmony in the team. When

any difficulties that existed, and finally
was able to do. SO. with the result that
today there isn't more harmonious team
on the circuit than the Tigers Each and
soul in the business, and with that bunting
everastingly before his eyes.
I've have had trials and tribula-
tons, but have continued to fight. We
have also had a couple of slumps, but al
ways recovered and came back stronger
than ever The reason for this is that we
have a well-balanced team, with the nerve.
grit and aggreSsiveness to accomplish what
we set out for. These are the main reasons
why we have succeeded, and no one will
deny that our success has been deserved
without doing us an injustice.
''All our pitchers have been overworked,

good accounts of themselves should we get
a crack at the Cubs. Killian is laid up
with a sore arm and may not be able to
pitch. We have the best hitting team in
the country, and 1 don't see how we can be
beaten"
Too much cannot be said about the man
ner in which Jennings has handled this
bunch Of Tigers. Many close game would
have been lost had not it been for the con-
slant coaching and jollying that he exer-
cised right up to the last minute.

Weidman. Charley Bennett. Briody and
Cancel were behind the bat Brouthers
Dunlap and White were on the bases. Dave
Rowe covered short, while Hanlen. Hardy
Richardson, Twitchell and Sam Thompson
were in the outfield.
All ball players remember the famous big
four-Brouthers, Rowe, White and Thomp-
son. They were terror to pitchers. and 1t
is doubtful If they have ever been equaled
as hitters Brouthers had a batting aver
age of .419: Thompson 400; Rowe, 1853, and
White, .341. But all the players were hard
hitters. Richardson and Bennett hit for
1906; Twitchell, 1852; Baldwin, .347; Shindle,
$40; Dunlap, .328; HanlOn, .316: CANCEL,
.2S5; Bradley, .276: Conway, PAT. while Get
zein with .24O was the poorest hitter of the
lot, and he was a pitcher.
Dunlap played "a games at second base
for Detroit and Richardson 62. Shindle
played in 10 games at third and White 100.
Richardson played IS games in the field and
Twitchell, the pitcher, 81. Twitchell of
Detroit headed the pitchers of the league,
winning eleven out of twelve games
pitched.
Detroit led the league in batting with a
percentage of .347, and in fielding with a
percentage Of 800. Philadelphia was fourth
In batting with a percentage of $3.50 and
second in fielding with a percentage of 1894.
Chicago was second in batting with per-
centage of 1874 and third in fielding 1892.
Thus it can be seen that Detroit was I'M
mistakably the best team of the league.
The Detroits met the st. Louis team.
champion Of the American Association, In
a series to determine the worlds champion
ship 1t was agreed that a majority of
fifteen games should settle the question.
Games were played at St. Louis, Detroit.
Chicago and Pittsburg In the west, and at
New York Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore
and Washington in the east The most ex-
citing game was played at st. Louis. when
Detroit won after thirteen-inning game
by to / Getzein and Carruthers being the
opposing pitchers. The Washington game
was played October q. and resulted in a
victory for Comiskey's men by II to f. De-
troit won eight out Of the first eleven
games played and the championship, but,
although the question was decided, four
more games were played.
The batting average of the fourteen De-
trot players who played in the worlds Sc
ries was only .24O, and that of st. Louis
Pill. Detroit also led in fielding, with an
average Of 926, ST. Louis being 1893. De-
troit stole forty bases and st. Louis thirty
Altogether it was a great year in Detroit
for base ball.

UNCLE WINS GREAT RACE
LEFT AT THE POST HE WEARS
DOWN HIS FIELD.
Most Remarkable Contest Of the Year
Run by Two-Year-Olds at the
Brighton Beach Course.

NEW YORK, October 4.-The most re-
markable horse race of the year was run
at the Brighton Beach course yesterday,
when the two-year-old colt Uncle, after be-
ing left standing still at the post, went on,
and. wearing down his field by a splendidly
sustained effort, snatched a sensational VIC
tory by a head for the Triumph stakes.
Uncle is the colt for which 8. C. Hidreth
paid price said to have been 10000 at
Saratoga to ]. E. Madden.
The race was at mile, the first stake at
the distance for two-year-olds run this sea-
son, and from his poor start Uncle finished
the distance in the official time Of 1.39 2-5,
though the colt was timed separately from
his break. nearly twenty lengths behind his
field. in 1.3S 20 making him full second

est weight carried in the race
Uncle Left at Post.
Nine horses ran for the stakes, with AL
fred Noble so we'll backed that he went to
the post equal choice with Uncle. while
spooner was the next horse in favor. At
the starting point. directly in front of the
stand, Uncle had the extreme outside posi-
ton. and in the delay before the start was
worried and fretted by Feast and Robert
Cooper, the two horses closest to him. AL
fred Noble, in a place close on the rail,
broke best when the barrier was lifted the

broke and went after them. his rider even
then seeming to be in doubt as to whether
to give 1t up or go on. The watching
crowd, and especially the hackers of Uncle,
already had given up hope for the colt
when Uncle left the post, and 1t did not
seem that he had possible chance when
the first turn was reached, with Uncle
twenty lengths. behind Alfred Noble, who
was leading, though Uncle began to close
steadily on the otrailers from the time that
he began the turn. Alfred Noble went on
in the lead, and to the far turn seemed to
have the race in hand, but at that point he
began to slacken his pace a bit, and Earls
Court Meeick and Spooner closed on him
and were almost abreast of him on the bend
coming to the head of the stretch.
Steady Gain Made.
Uncle had steadily picked up his field,
and his effort in going up to the middle of
the field had aroused admring comment
from the spectators, though up to that
point none believed that he had any chance.
On the last turn, however Uncle ranged up
