Detroit. Oct 12-The deciding and final
game OF the worlds championship series
was played here to-day in cold weather
and before a crowd of spectators which,
by its size, demonstrated the fact that
baseball in Detroit at s. ?. ticket for
chance to see the game is not an in
tensely popular amusement, The crowd
was the smallest OF the series.
Mullin. who was on the firing line for
the home folk, pitched a game that would
have won ordinarily, but his wildness in
the first inning resulted in the initial run,
and his team mates, by butteT-hngered
work, were responsible for the second
Had the strong batters of Detroit, Cobb,
who leads the league. and Crawford, who
is second, been able to duplicate their
work against three fingered Brown, the
game would have easily been home
victory
The only sensational fielding play of the
day was that made by Cobb, when he
rushed into the right field ropes IN the
seventh and pulled down Tinlser's hard
drive, which seemed labeled for three
bases
Chicago presented 4 broken up inheld,
inasmuch as Capt. Chance was out of the
game because of a badly bruised finger,
and Howard took his place.
Jennings Is Angry.
For the first time this year Hughey
Jennings criticised his men sharply for
the lack of ginger displayed, and broke
up his own team by sending Archer in
behind the bat because Of Schmidts de-
pIcrable throwing TO second base. He did
not improve the team much, for while
Schmidt may not be able to get the ball
to SECOND ahead of base Nstealers, he can
hit, and Archer cannot, in a pinch.
Chicago acquired its initial run in the
opening inning by a base on balls TO Sla-
gle and the latters clean steal Of second.

Cobb.

Evers grounder te Coughlin. Rossman
mufing the throw Schultz fouled TO
Archer, a rather clever catch. TinkeTs
single over Schaefer's head advanced
Evers to second. The double steal was
tried. and Evers was safe at third and
Tinker at second because Archer dumped
the ball into tie ground in front of
Coughlin.
