CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Chicago baseball
enthusiasts and the 1000 or more par
tisans of the Detroit team who came here
40 watch their favorites struggle Win
lthe Chicago National League players Tor
the baseball premiership awoke early
this morning and cast anxious chances
toward the zenith. Professor Cox, the
local government forecaster, had prom
Used fair and cool weather for the
game. but lack of confidence in his
prognostications impelled the followers
of the two teams to see for themselves
whether this fair weather had come.
Prophesies as to the batteries were
more or less vague. Neither manage
had announced a certain selection for
these important positions. but 1T Is
thought that Reulbach will pitch for
Chicago. King is certain to be behind
the plate for the Cubs, his heady back
stopping, accurate throwing and good
stick work having been of material
assistance to his team in yesterdays
victory.
Manager Jennings, of Detroit. is very
likely to send Sieve INTO the box for
the third game. The fact that Chicago
now has a lead of one game or the
series has made him more determined
than ever to return to the clubs home
town at least on even terms. The left
handler warmed up before the game
yesterday and appeared in midseason
condition.
The catching department is worry
ing jennings more than any other one
thing. Schmidt and Payne have both
been tried and found wanting. Whether
one of these men will again don mask
and chest protector in the series or
whether Archer will be given an OPP
p~ortunity to show his worth has not
been determined.
Thus far oil the series the Chicago
team has shown a slight advantage
over their opponents in fielding, while
the hitting has BEEN practically equal.
Chicago's errors total five for the W
games, but four of these came in the
first contest and one of them was due
10 EVers's unfamiliarity with the short
field, to which position he was moved
when Tinker was taken out to allow a
stronger batsman to hit for him. De-
1roit has made four errors in the two
games, two in each contest. Each team
mas secured eighteen hits, only two of
which. Rossnlan's t-hree-bagger and
t~Sheckard's double yesterday, have been
Tor extra bases. The preponderance of
runs is, of course, in Chicago's favor,
The locals having scored six times to
their opponents four.
Pfeister Outpitches MuIlin.
lack" Pfeister outpitehed the slow
moving Mullin yesterday, the Cubs hit
70 some purpose and Chicago took the
i.rst step forward toward the worlds
championship pennant. The score was 4
70 1, and the margin, doubtless, would
alaVe been greater had not Mullin shown
some ability in pitching himself our of
llght holes and had not O'Leary executed
some fast and clean pick ups at short.
Anyway, the Chicago fans are satisfied,
Tor there is all the difference in the world
between 9 game won and one lost.
The game was slow, chiefly on account
or Muillns inability to locate the plate.
lie pitched about nine balls to each bats
man, and IT took fifty minutes to play the
mrs two innings. In the fifth things iiveu-
eu tremendously, chiefly on account of
OLeary's great wora at shortstop. and
thereafter all hands played with more
ginger. Pfeister delighted his Chicago sun
p9fterS with his far better control, and
WIN kiing behind the bat the Cubs had
a big ADVANTAGE over the Tigers, for whom
Payne did the back-stopping.
King allowed one steal, while Payne saw
i've CUBS appropriate extra bases. Pfeister
famed only three visitors, while Mullin
made five Cubs claw at the ball without
avaii, The redoubtable 'Ty" Cobb got one
NIT. Rossman was the star hitter OF fine
day. The Detroit first baseman. who has
' played first in every game this season,
made a clean hit every time at the bat.
His play at first also was good, and twice
he made one hand successful reaches for
the ball when failure would have meant
material success for the Cubs.
tfOSsHldn Is cfeulleu with the longest hit
of the day, a three-bagger, which opened
the second inning. The ball took Il bad
bound for Tinker and went out to left
centre, and the auburn haired baseman
was safely at third before it was retrieved.
Sheckard laid the only other extra base
hit, a beautifully placed smash In the cor
ner near the right foul line, which scored
Slagle for the third Cub run in the fourth.
Pfeister pitched himself out of a light
hole in the first inning. Jones opened with
a hit to left, and Schaefer's grounder took
Il bad hound at Chance, and he was safe.
Then Jack famed "Wahoo Sam Craw-
ford, to the crowds delight, and Cobb hit
direct TO Tinker, who stepped on second
and threw to Chance for a double play.
The Cubs also started well, Slagle get
ting a pass, stealing second and making
third. when Payne's poor throw to second
not only failed to reach, but hit Mullin on
the ear in transit. Sheckard flied out to
Schaefer, who threw the ball to third, but
Slagle was safe. A second later Slagle
stepped off the bag and was tagged out by
Coughlin, who worked the musty hide-the-
ball. having concealed il under his arm.
Chance. disguised, proceeded to hit safely
and stole second, tearing a gaping rent in
Schaefer's trouser leg In the operation.
