ready giving his patrons the benefit Of the bur-
gain he secured by making the usual $25 suits
to order at $14.75 and the usual $40 and $50
suits to order at 1915.

the final series here yesterday. making 1t
just possible for the local team to win
the American League pennant. To do
this. however. Chicago must win the two
remaining games with Detroit while
Cleveland loses one game with st. Louis.
BY reason Of the Cleveland-St Louis tie
yesterday, these teams still have three
games to play. BY winning all of them
Cleveland would get the pennant regard
less of the outcome of the Cbicago-De-
troit series. BY winning one of the re-
naming two games from Chicago De-
trOit will win in the event that Cleveland
drops one to st. Louis. The outcome of
yesterdays games. therefore, makes the
finish of the American League race mar
rover and more exciting than ever.
President Comiskey said that the at
tendance of yesterdays game was the
largest which had ever been within the
South Side grounds. The victory for
Chicago was remarkable in that Chica-
go scored all of her three runs in the first
inning without even the semblance of a
hit. In fact. Chicago made but one hit
during the game. Ground rules were es-
tablished, making hit into the crowd
good for two bases. but the scant hitting
did not require their application.
The game was pitchers battle be-
tween White of Chicago and Killian of
Detroit, who let the victors down with
one hit but lost the game as a result of
bases on balls and errors behind him.

RULES CALL FOR
3-GAME POST SERIES

Below are the sections Of the National
League bylaws which cover the playing
of three games in case the champion
ship season ends with two teams tied
for first place, as Chicago and New
York will be Wednesday night in case

In this instance, however, the deciding
game may be the disputed one. and the
league directors may decide to rule that
one game shall be sufficient to settle the
question. The rules follow:
Section 45-Each club shall play twen-
ty-two or more championship games
with every other club; but tie or drawn
game or a game prevented by rain or
other causes, shall be played off on the

succeeding dates of the same or Subse-
quent series. whether open or scheduled
for another game between the same clubs
thus compelling double games for such
scheduled date IT, however, all series
shall have terminated, such postponed
games must be played off on the ground
of the other club on a date open or sched-
uled during a subsequent series between
the same clubs.
Section 55-Drawn. tie and postponed
games shall not count in the series as
games (but any game of not less than
ages but must be played off if possible.
as provided in section 40. If they cannot
be played off. as therein provided. they
may subsequently be played off If suffi-
cient time exists before the close of the
season. Double games for one admission
shall not be permitted unless previously
scheduled as such or rendered compulsory
by the playing off of postponed games, as
provided in section A.
Section 56-The club which shall have
won the greatest percentage of games in
the championship series shall be declared
the champion club of the United States
for the season in which such games were
played. In the event that two or more
clubs shall have won the same percent
age Of games then the board shall at once
arrange a special series of three games
between any two of such clubs. such
games to be played at the close Of the
championship season. and the games so
played shall be included in the champion
ship record. and counted in determining
the award of the championship. In such
case only the provisions of this constitu-
ton prohibiting the playing or recording
as championship games. games played
after the expiration Of the championship

CUBS PUT PIRATES
OUT OF THE RACE

CHICAGO, October 5.-PlttSburg
championship aspirations were rudeiy
handled yesterday by Chicago in the
closing game of the season at the West
Side grounds, when the champions de-
feated the National League leaders before
crowd which broke all records by the
score of to 9. 1t was heavy blow to
President Dreyfus and his band of Pr
rates. who. after six years struggle, con-
fdently expected to carry the pennant
back again to Pittsburg.
Never before In the history of base ball
has sucn a crowd witnessed a game.
President Murphy officially announced
the attendance at 3O,247, and but for the
fact that the gates were closed fifteen
minutes before the time set for the game
the attendance would have been in
creased by many thousands
Two hours before the ticket windows
opened at II am. the crowd began to
gather. and when the gates were opened
it had swollen to proportions which re-
CURED several squads of police to keen in
order. By l o'clock the stands which
surround the field were filled, standing
room in the aisles was at premium, and
deep fringe of spectators occupied the
greensward in left center and right field
At this hour Chicago began batting prac-
tice. By O'Clock. hen Pttsburg began
batting practice the crowd outside the
stands completely surrounded the field
but still the densely packed streams of
people pressed upon one anOthers heels
through the various entrances and spread
out into the field. and the crowd had so
far encroached on the field that any or
binary fly ball would have fallen safe.
Members of the Chicago team and every
available policeman fought strenuously,
but forced the crowd back only to have
it surge forward at some unprotected
point When play was called however.
order had been restored. and it was
agreed that hit into the crowd should
go for only two bases.
Pittsburg was outplayed at all stages of
the game. In batting. base running and
fielding the Chicago players showed them
selves the masters of the applied sci
ence of base ball. They beat Pittsburg
because they played a superior article of
the national game.
Mordecai Brown pitched for the Cubs,
and held the Pirates to seven hits. Will
lis. who pitched for the Pittsburgs, failed
for the first seven innings of the game
to show the class of his opponent. He
was touched for ten hits in the seven in
nings and passed three men. Then he
gave way to Camnitz, who essayed three
hits.
The Cubs outclassed their opponents
with the stick making thirteen hits for
a total of sixteen bases. The Pirates
amassed seven hits for nine bases

PULLIAM'S VERDICT
SURE TO BE UPHELD

CINCINNATI. October 5.-From the
consensus Of opinion of the base ball mag
mates who form the board of directors of
the National League already on hand for
the special meeting called for today to de-
termine what shall be done as to the
disputed game between New York and
Chicago played at the Polo Grounds Sep
tember %, it is foregOne conclusion that
the decision of President Puliam will be
upheld, and that the game will be de-
clared a tie and ordered replayed.
There are grounds for no different &C
ton. According TO the evidence to be
submitted by the National League execu-
tive and chairman of the board, Hank
O'Day presiding umpire at the game in
question, declared Merkle out for not
touching second base and ruled that the
run scored by Mccormick did not count,
in accordance with rule 6I. Furthermore,
Umpire O'Day ruled that in his opinion
it was too dark to proceed with the
game after third out in the ninth inning
had been effected by the Cubs.
While there is not the least vestige of
doubt that the board will consider the dis
puted contest in the light of tie, there
is some misgiving as to the method it will
employ in settling the difference. If New
York does not win the three remaining
games from Boston. they cannot hope to
figure in the ultimate standing better than
second.
1t is most peculiar situation that con-
fronts the board. According to the con-
stitutlon of the league. in case of tie
in the standing between two or more clubs
at the close Of the regularly scheduled
season special series of three games be-
tween the clubs interested must be
played.
But there is a chance that the board
may not look upon the seasons of the
Cubs and Giants as concluded when the

but lob of the 154 games scheduled, the
extra contest being of course the dis

it is not beyond the line of possibility that
