CHICAGO. Ill. October 10.-The Cubs
took the second game OF the world 9
championship series yesterday afternoon
by a score of 8 to 1.
It was A game bustlng with sensational
pIays. bad Judgment and wasted oppor-
tunitIes For eleven half innings the first
man up In each team got to first base.
but So tight and fast was the play that
they died on the bags. The Cubs won by
the sheer power OF their bats.
The crowd was fully as large as that of
Tuesday and, If anything. more enthu-
slastic. Every seat was occupied, and
thousands saw the game from the roof
stands outside the grounds.
The two games played thus far have
netted the teams $4,000. With those yet
remaining there seems every probability
that the share of the two teams Will be
In the neghborhood of $4,000.
This will mean almost the doubling OF
the salaries of the winning team, as
they will receive over $4,000. to be d.

was opposed to chunky Mr.. Mullin.
Neither Of these may be ranked as a star
pitcher when compared with such bright
fights as Brown, Donovan or MathewsOn.
But opposed to each other. they shone
with a stellar radiance. Yet. strange TO
say. neither seemed to have anything in
particular outside of wide out-curve
This was particularly true of Mulltn
,oe he q straight
ball and an out-curve, varied by an oc-
easional wild one that kept Payne dancing
back OF the plate like marionette.
Umpires Conscientious, But
The umpires worked hard and conscien-
tiously. but two or three of their deci-
s4ons may be put down in the punky
column. notably O'Days decision calling
Schaefer out on a steal to second. Jen-
nings kicked hard and loud, and eventu-
ally. hit the players bench with dull
thud, on the order Of O'Day.
The ChicaEos kicked repeatedly on the
balls and strikes called by Sheridan, but
to the impartial observer IN line with
the plate and the box the decisions
seemed to be all right Mullins wide
out-curve would break and come slash
ing over the plate in a way the Cubs
could not Sathom for a time. Steinfeldt,
Evers, Tinker. siag!e and sheckard all
kicked when no kick was coming.
In a sense. the game was the first of
the worlds series. as that of Tuesday,
being q tie game goes for nothing.
The board Of trade men have gath
cred s25. 900 together to bet on the Cubs,
but after yesterdays game It is not like
ly that they will find any takers. The
weather was fine in temperature, but a
high west wind interfered somewhat with
the work of the fielders.
The play of OLeary and Sheckard was

Tiger shortstop really did some wonder

OF q miss would have meant a run.
In the fifth inning he made two plays
