They Took the Second Game of the Series
by a Score of 3 to
The Contest Jagged Through the First Half but
Was Afterward Marked by Snappiness and Brilliant
Playing to the End.

Chicago. Oct 9.-The Chicago Ma
tionals defeated the Detroit Americans
in the second game OF the series for
the worlds championship this after
noon by a score of to /. Slow pitch
ing and several slight accidents caus-
ed the contest TO lag over two hours
The delay was trying on the patience
of the big crowd, which again filled
almost every inch of seating room
The locals discarded the new gray
uniforms in which they appeared yes
terday. appearing in their clean white
home uniforms. The change seemed
to put them more at ease and so ap-
parently benefited the Detroit players.
for both teams played more steadily
than on the opening day.
After the first four and a half inn
ings had dragged through an hour and
a half. some sparkling fielding, fine
base running and sharp hitting has
tened the game to its end. Mullin and
Pfeister were the pitchers and Payne
went behind the bat in the place of
Schmidt. Otherwise the teams were
lined up as on the preceding day.
Schmidt's retirement was primarily
due TO his inaccurate throwing but in
provement, as five stolen bases cred
tied to the local team testify.
Playing conditions were improved.
The crowd numbered 21,900 as against
over $4,000 yesterday while the warm
sunshine and the absence of a chilly
breeze as on the first day kept the
players more comfortable. What
wind was blowing blew across the dia-
ii hindered ii.
Rossman. whose hitting was the real
feature of the game, scored the first
run in the second inning. He hit a
grounder to Tinker, which bounded
away from the shortstop and rolled
far out to the left fielder, Rossman
making third. Coughlin struck out
and Payne lifted a short fly to left
field. which Tinker might have got but
he left it 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 same inning. while Mullin was
giving a queer exhibition of poor and
good pitching. Killing. Evers and
Schultz singled in succession. filling
the bases, with none out. Then Tink-
er drew a base on balls. forcing Killing
home. Right here Mullin suddenly re-
gained control of his curves, striking
out Pfeister and Slayle while the best
Sheckard could do was a grounder to
Schaefer.
In each of the next three innings a
Detroit batsman reached first base,
with none out, but poor base running
and the inability of the following
batsman to find an opening to Chica-
gO's defense stopped the embryonic
rallies. Chicago missed a similar
chance in the third when double
play and a strike out left the runners
at first and third.
The winning runs came in the fourth.
Tinker's hit bounded off Mullins glove.
He vent to second on sacrifice and
stole third. O'LeaTy fumbled Slagle's
grouL der Tinker scoring. Slagle stole
second and came home on Sheckard's g
two base hit. After Chance popped
out Scheckard was caught trying to
steal third.
After that fast Gliding prevented
further scoring on either side. O'Leary
cut off two hits by marvellous stops
and throws in the fifth and he repeated
the feat in the sixth. Scheckard caught
line drive off the shoe tops in the
seventh. and three Detroit runners who
reached first base were cut off by
Kings fine throwing.
