Malachi Kittredge all through his

tune on Cubs Victory.

Chicago. Oct. 1.-THE most remark
able thing of the series between the
Detroits and the Chicago champions
was the very poor showing that the
American League champions made in
run getting. They crossed the rubber
hut three times in the last sc innings.
The worlds champions landed the
series with Detroit with the same ease
that they took the championship ri
their own organization. Detroit did not
have the pitchers the c2tcherS or the
team to present against the National
Leagues thar did the White Sox Of a
year ago. The Cubs simply ran riot
with the Detroit catchcrs.
Only two of the players on either
side die anything that amounted to
much in the batting line-Rossman Of
Detroit. who led the batsmen of both
sides, making 10 hits with Il total Of
II in the five games. and Steinfeldt or
the "Cubs" being a fine second with
40. Jones of the DctrOitS was second
with 1853 and Tommy Evers ran Kim
a good second 9th $50. The showing
Of Slaglc for all-round work was most
cOmmcndable. as was that Of Schultz
who made a hit in each game. Cough
lin did not make q hit until the fourth
game. when he connected for three
hits. and he added two more in the
next game. Sheckard. who did not
make Il hit last season, battcd for
1888
What was particularly surprising
was the poor showing of the American
League S!uSecrS- Cobb and Crawford.

made but four hits in the five games.

Crawford made five. This reminds one
