| Detroit, Oct. 11.-Cheering base ball
/ enthusiasts, carrying banners ana
Jennings" whistles began streaming
out towards Bennett park before Z
O'Clock this morning with a view to
gaining early admission to the grounds
and thereby secure vantage places
| from which to witness tn first cham
pionship contest in Detroit between
teams representing the Detroit Amer
licans and the Chicago Nationals, base
ball clubs premier in their respective
leagues.
The weather was not of the best for
either player of spectators A sharp,
and tho the sun shone brightly, over
coats were quite necessary adjunct
for the comfort of onlookers, and
gloves would perhaps have been as
much appreciated by the players in
protecting their benumbed fingers, but
the chilly atmosphere had apparently
no appreciable effect in keeping down

day were sold last week, and hum
dreds who lined up at the park this
! forenoon were there for general ad-
mission tickets emitting them to stand

lined up before the ticket window
when the sale began.

| Chicago on the early morning trains.

waiting at the station to greet the To-
cal team, and while two defeats in
| Chicago inevitably created some feel
| ing of apprehension and sent what lit
tie betting there was to to I in favor
of Chicago, for the series, that did
not dispel the enthusiasm of local pat
rons, who still believe Detroit will yet
win the championship.
