CHICAGO, Oct 10.-The Chicago
National league team defeated the
Detroit pennant winners of the Amer
ican league in the second game OF
the series for the worlds champion
ship yesterday afternoon. The score
was to l. Slow pitching and seevral
slight accidents caused the contest
to drag out over two hours, the de-
lays trying the patience of the big
crowd, which again filled almost ev-
cry inch of seating room.
The locals. discarded the new gray
uniforms in which they played We'd
nesday appearing in their clean white
home uniforms. The change seemed
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 hour and a half in
and thirty minues some sparkling
fielding and sharp hitting and base
running hastened the contest to an
end.
Mullin and Pfeister were the pitch
ers and Payne went behind the bat
in place of Schmidt. otherwise the
day. Schmidt's retirement was pri-
marily due to his inaccurate throw
ing, but in this respect the change
brought small improvement, as the
five stolen bases credited to the local
team testified.
Playing conditions were improved,
the crowd numbering 21,900, as
against $4,000 yesterday, while warm
sunshine and the absence of the chilly
breeze of the first day kept specta-
tors and players in more comfort.
What wind there was blew across the
diamond and aided the play more
than it hindered it.
ROssman, whose hitting was the
real feature of the contest, scored
the first run of the contest in the
second inning. He hit a grounder
toward Tinker, which bounded away
from the shortstop and rolled far out
to the left field, the batter making
three bases on the hit Coughlin
struck out, but Payne lifted a short
fly to left field, which Tinker might
have captured, but left to Sheckard.
The ball fell safe, and Rossman
scored. Payne stole second, but
O'Leary and Mullin could not bring
him home.
Chicago tied the score in its half
of the inning, while klullin was CIV
ing queer exhibition of poor and
good pitching. King, Evers and
Schultz singled in succession, filling
the bases with onne out. Then
Tinker drew base on balls, forcing
King home. Right there Mullin
suddenly regained control of his
curves, striking out Pfeister and Sla-
gle while the best Sheckard could do
was a puny grounder to Schiefer.
In each of the next three innings
Detroit batsmen reached first base
with none out, but poor base running
and inability of the following bats
men to find openings in the Chicago
defense stopped the embryonic ral-
lies. Chicago missed a similar
chance in the third when a double
play and a strike-out left runners on
first and third.
The winning runs came in the
fourth. Tinker's hit bounced off Null
Inns glove. He went to second on a
sacrifice and stole third. O'Leary
fumbled Slagle's grounder. Tinker
scored. Slagle stole second and
come the rest of the way on Sheck-
ards two-base hit past first base.
After Chance had popped out Sheck-
ard was caught trying to steal third.
After the fast fielding prevented
further scoring. O'Leary cut off two
hits by marvellous stops and throws
in the fifth and repeated the feat in
the sixth. Sheckard caught line
drive off his shoe tops in the seventh
and the three Detroit runners who
reached first base were cut down by
Kings fine throwing.
