defeated the Detroit pennant winners os
the American league in the second of the
series for the worlds championship this
afternoon The score was to l. Slow
pitching and several slight accidents 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 clean white home
uniforms The change seemed to put them
more at ease and also apparently benehteo
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-fve
minutes some sparkling fielding and sharp
hitting and base running fastened the
contest to an end

Of Schmidt. otherwise the teams lined up
as yesterday. sehmldts retirement was
due to his inaccurate throwing but in this
respect the change brought small improve
