Chicago. October 9.-The Chicago Ma tional league team defeated the Detroit pennant winners of the American league in the second game of the series for the worlds championship this afternoon The score was to l.
 Slow pitching and several slight acei- dents caused the contest to drag out over two hours, the delays trying the patience of the big crowd, which again filled almost every inch of seating room The local team discarded the new gray uniforms in which they appeared yester- day, appearing in their soiled and worn white home uniforms. The change seem ed to put them more at ease and also apparently benefited the Detroit players, for both teams played more steadily than on the opening day. After the first four and a half innings had dragged through an hour and thirty-1ve minutes some sparkling fielding, sharp hitting and elev- CT base running bastened the contest to an end.
 Attendance Numbered 21 ,901.
 Mullin and Pfeister were the pitchers  of Schmidt. Otherwise the teams lined up as on the preceding day. Schmidts retirement was due primarily to his in- accurate throwing, but in this respect the change brought small improvement, as the five stolen bases credited to the local team testify
 Playing conditions were improved for the second game, the crowd numbering 219Ol as against over 2OOO yesterday, while warm sunshine and the absence of the chill breeze of the first day kept spectators and players in more comfort. What wind there was blew across the diamond and aided the play more than hindered it.
 MuIen's Eccentric Pitching.
 Rossman. whose hitting was the real feature of the contest scored the first run of the game in the second inning. He hit grounder toward Tinker, which bounded away from the shortstop and rolled far out to left field, the batsman making three bases on the hit. Coughlin struck out, but Payne lifted short fly to left field which Tinker might have caught but left to Sheclkard The bail fell safe and Rossman scored. Payne stole second base, but O'Leary and Mul- lin could not bring him home.
 Chicago tied the score in it's half of the second inning Mullin giving a queer ex- hibition of poor and good pitching. kling, Evers and Schulte singled in succession, filling the bases, with none out. Then Tinker drew a base on balls. forcing King home Right there Mullin sud denly regained control of his curves striking out Pfeister and Slagle, while the best Sheekard could do was to put a grounder to Schaefer.
 The Winning Runs.
 In each of the next three innings De- trot batsmen reached first base with none out, but poor base running and the inability of the following batsmen to find openings in the Chicago defense stopped the embryonic tallies. Chicago missed a simpler chance in the third, when a dou- be play and a strike out left runners on first and third.
 The winning runs came in the fourth Tinker's hit bounded off Mullins glove He went to second on a sacrifice and stole third OLeary fumbled Slagle's grounder, Tinker scoring. Slagle stole second and came the rest of the way on Sheckards two-base hit past first. After Chance had popped out, Sheckard was caught trying to steal third.

 After that, fast fielding prevented fur ther scoring. O'Leary cut off two hits by marvellous stops and throws in the fifth and repeated in the sixth. Sheck- ard caught low fly off his shoe tops in the seventh and the three Detroit run ners who reached first base were cut down by Kings fine throwing.
 As in yesterdays game fast double play stopped an incipient rally in the last inning This time, however, the visitors were the victims. Tinker stabbed and held Coughin's hot liner and threw to Chance in time to double up Rossman, who had reached first on his fourth sue cessive hit Payne ended the game with a little hit in front of the plate, which Kling threw to first.
 The teams will play here again tomor- row and then, unless postponement or tie game intervenes, will move to Detroit for two games, returning ere Sunday.
