Third Successive Defeat of the Pilgrims-Blues Blank
 Yankees.
AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDING.

Philadelphia, Sept. 26.-There was another great battle on the American league grounds in the race for the pen- nant when Philadelphia defeated Chi- cago, making it two out of the three from the worlds champions. The weather was clear and cold and the crowd, while not quite as large as on tha two previous days, was much noisier. Walsh, who defeated the To- calls in the first game of the series, tried to repeat the trick again to-day, but lost his own game by unsteadi- ness, followed by timely hits Dygert held Chicago safe throughout. The visitors only hits were a single to cen ter by G. Davis in the seventh and a double by Isbell In the ninth. The visi- tors reached second base but twice in eight innings, and scored their only run in the ninth. Hahn was safe on Nichols error, but was forced by Jones, Isbell doubled to right, advanc- ing Jones to third who then scored on Donohues out.
 The home team started the scoring in the first inning when Hartzel reached first on base on balls, went to second on an out and scored on a single by H Davis. In the sixth Hart gel got another base on balls, Nichols hit to Rohe, who made wild throw to second and both men were safe, Sey- bold forced Nichols. Hartzel went to third on the play and scored on H. Da- vls' second single, The last run was scored in the seventh when Oldring was Init by pitched ball, Schreck singled Oldring going to third, Dygert hit to Walsh, who threw to Rohe and the latter dropped the ball, filling the bases. Hart2el then beat out scratch hit, scoring Oldrlng. Nichols fouled out and seybold hit into double play. Score

THIRD SUCCESSIVE VICTORY.
Boston Again Bows Low Before Jen-

 siever was batted out of the game in one inning and the Boston men opened sharply on Mullin, but after he had steaded down they could do little with him. The local management tried out several of the speediest of it's new re- cruits, but the Detroits played at top speed, and proved far superior to any combination the home club could pre- sent.
 The fight and determination shown by both teams, and many brilliant fleld- ing plays. especially by the rival short stops, made the game one of the most interesting of the season. The result, however, was practically settled in the fifth inning, when Burchell a Baltimore pitcher, was batted out of the box.
