NHICAGO, Oct 4.-Pittsburg today
was eliminated from the National
~ league pennant race when Chica-
go scored a to 2 victory before a
crowd which was declared to be the
largest which ever paid to see game
of baseball in the world.
Today's game was the final one of the
season for Chicago and Pittsburg,
while New York has three more to
play, all with Boston.
If one of these games is not played
owing to inclement weather or for any
other cause, or If Boston wins one,
the pennant will go to Chicago for the
third consecutive year.
BY winning all three New York ex-
actly will equal Chicago's percentage
of .641. Tonight Chicago leads the
league with .641; Pittsburg is second
with .6S6, and New York, which did
not play today. is third with .633.
The story of the victory is sam
pie one. Chicago garnered twelve hits
off Willis and Camnitz, while Brown
allowed Pittsburg only seven. The con-
test was clean throughout. The UNI
pire's decisions were questioned only
once, and this in orderly fashion, de-
spite the intense suppressed excite
ment under which the players worked.
President Murphy Of the Chicago
club announced the paid attendance
at 30,247. This. Mr.. Murphy said, was
the largest attendance ever present at
a game of baseball in the United
States, or presumably in the world. It
was nearly 1000 larger than ever passed
through the gates of the West Side ball
park before.
At the conclusion of the game Mr..
Murphy and Mr.. Dreyfus, the latter
president of the Pittsburg club, gath
cred with others in Mr.. Murphy's Of
flee Mr.. Dreyfus, whose team had
just lost the pennant, was smiling
cheerfully and proposing that In the
event of a tie between New York and
Chicago the series of three games be
played off at Pittsburg.
.'You are better loser than I am"
said the Chicago president. "You are
the best loser in the league.
"We'll play the string out" he con-
tinued with reference to possible tie
by New York. However. l am by no
one of those games"
The constitution of the National
league provides that a series of three
games shall be played to decide a tie
race for the pennant, but leaves the
matter of where it shall be played for
the board of directors to decide.
The board will meet in Cincinnati
tomorrow to take action on the game in
dispute between New York and Chica-
go and which President Pulliam has
declared to be a tie. 1t is stated the
board may take time by the forelock
at this meeting and settle on a place
for the deciding series to be played

m HIS baseball business is liable to
fill the bughousej if it keeps up
- much longer. Never before in the
history of baseball has the general pub
lie, without regard to section, race or
previous condition, been so intensely
interested in the result of a single game
as at this time, and this interest has
made it necessary for the newspaper
offices throughout the country to Gre
ate new position on the editorial
staffs-telephone editor-for the pur-
pose of furnishing the anxious public
with information as to the results Of
games in the two big leagues.
One game yesterday settled the as
pirations of the then leader of the Ma
tional league race and it was the final
game of the season for the first and
| second team in the race. The team
that now is in front, Chicago, climbed
into that position by dragging down
the leader of yesterday, Pittsburg, and
while neither team has another game
to play the pennant struggle will not
race has played one of the second divi-
sion teams, and that third team may
be the winner of the rag before it
finally is a safe betting proposition.
The fight for first place in the Amer
lean league is as keen as in the older
organization and while the games today
may settle the pennant question, It
may require all scheduled games to
bring about that result. Cleveland has
three games to play with st. Louis,
while Chicago and Detroit have two
yet to play. The value of "if" in both
leagues today is greater than the sum
offered for Christy Mathewson's release
to Chicago. Here are the possibilities
of that 'if' for today and tomorrow:

AMERICAN RACE
ALL TANGLED UP
Detroit Defeated Yesterday, While
Cleveland and ST. Louis Play to
Eleven-Inning TIe-Strenu-
GUS Ball Now In Sight
tBy Associated Press

+ CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Chicago defeated
Detroit to 1 in the opening game of
the final series here today, making it
just possible for the local team to win
the American league Iennant. 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 today the teams still have three
games tC play. BY winning all of them
Cleveland would get the pennant, re-
gardless of the outcome of the Chicago
Detroit series. BY winning ont of the
remaining two games from Chicago,
Detroit will win, in the event that
Cleveland drops one to st. Louis.
The outcome of today's game, there
fore, makes the finish of the Ameri-
can league race narrower and more
exciting than ever.
President Comiskey said that the
attendance of today's game was the
largest which ever had been within
the South Side grounds. Today's vic
tory for Chicago was remarkable in
runs in the first inning, without even
the semblance of hit In fact, Chi
cago made only one hit during the
game. Ground rules were established
making a hit into the ground good
for two bases, but the scant hitting
did not require it's application.
The game was a 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.
Chicago scored three runs in the
opening inning without the sign of a
hit. Hahn drew four balls. F. Jones
attempted to sacrifice. laying the ball
few feet in front of the plate. Schmidt
got the ball and threw to Bush, but
the shortstop was too far from second
base to catch Hahn, and both runners
were safe. Isbell advanced both run
ners on his sacrifice, going out to
Rossman unassisted. Dougherty hit
a hot one to Downs, but Rossman
dropped the throw and Dougherty was
safe, while Hahn scored. Dougherty
then stole second. Davis sent high
Dougherty went to third. Parent
walked and on double steal Dough-
erty scored. Killian then tightened
up and was given fine support when
men we're on bases.
Chicago's lone hit came in the fourth
inning, when Parent led off with a
single to left, but was forced at sec
drives, but only one hit figured in
the scoring. Crawford started the
ninth for Detroit by accepting base
or balls. Cobb went out, while Craw-
ford went to second. Rossman hit a
line drive, which was a couple of feet
over IsbelPs head, but the first base
man jumped and caught it. holding
Crawford at second Schaefer came to
bat and after making a horseshoe in
the dust around the Mate hit a safe
drive into right field and Crawford
scored. Mullin batted for Schmidt and
was hit, D. Jones running for him.. A
double steal advanced the runners a
base, but Downs flied to Parent, who
ran into the crowd and the game was
over. Score:
Detroit = hits 5, errors 2.
Chicago 8, hit 1, error /.

Norwalk 7, L. A. A. c. 6. Well, that
is not so bad when the fact is taken
into consideration that the club team
was composed practically of the best
amateur baseball players in Southern
California. Burke surely must have
something out there that practically is
invincible. Every time one of the club
boys went to bat it is said that Walla
Wheeler yelled so hard that he scared
the batter. Many of the members ac-
companied the team and all report
general good time.
Lou Guernsey has gone. Gone for
two weeks. Where he has gone no
body knows but himself, and he seems
to believe that he is going to a dam
gerous zone. He said last night that
ne was going to the front" He also
poured out lot of hot air about SOL
diers and guns. We can believe that
1t is to the front" that Lou has gone
as long as we are sure that these
gums" shoot blank cartridges.
Jesse is not necessarily a girls name.
One of the boys at the club has the
misfortune of being called Jesse. the
other half is Haines. The combina-
tion is as unique as the man. Never
tneleSS, Jesse is doing good work for
the cribbage tournament, which is to
be started Wednesday. He invites
each member to enter the tournament,
providing that one dollar is forthcom-
ing. To date there are twelve entries
to the contest, which is to be of the
classy kind.
Forget everything else if you must,
but remember the jog to Mt. Wilson
next Saturday and Sunday. One hun
dred members are requested to Join
in the fun. Assistant Secretary Hen
derson requests each member to notify
him of anyone who is considering the
trip so that accommodations can be
reserved at the Mt Wilson hotel.
None of the "dubs" were in the
handball court yesterday and the
tournament will not be resumed until
tomorrow. At that time "TIippy' Nest
will play "Johnnycake" Bradner
Bradner has an idea that he will win
the tournament with ease, and Hip
py'' is suffering with the same dis
ease, so there should be something
doing when these gladiators meet.

The Angels had no difficulty what
ever in taking the final game of the
series with the Seals yesterday by the
score of 6 to 2. Hosp was in great
form and always held the visiting
batsmen at a respectful distance when
ever trouble threatened, while he was
given excellent support at bat and in
the field.
Browning, who had been showing re-
markable form In other games, was
found an easy mark for the Angel
sluggers when the opportune time
rolled around and hits were necessary
to drive in runs. Delmas and Ber-
nard pulled off the only double play of
the game, while DR.. Bernard also took
away the batting honors for the
Champions.

NEvADA'S MOTHER LODE

If there is anything to be termed
a Mother Lode in the State OF Ne
vada it occurs along TINS west border
of the state. The great mineral belt
extends through this section OF the
state for 40 or so miles and can be
followed from the hills north Of Car
son City, to Silver City, Virginia
City, Ramsey, Tallapoosa and over
into the hills north and east of Wads-
worth.
Probably there is no place along
this vast lode where it's existence is
more plainly evident than between
this district and the old Comstock.
Anywhere along the east slope Of the
high Virginia range the characteristic
yellow stain of porphyry is seen and
can be followed with the eye for
many miles from the wide plains be-
low. Old workings and prospect holes
can be found here and there if the
trouble is taken to follow along the
trend Of the lode. In this district
some deep shafts and long tunnels
were made many years ago by the
old Comstockers who had traced the
great lead over into this richly min
eralized basin. The wonder is rich
finds were not male but the cid
timers had a different way of pros
pecting than the present day treasure
seekers.
Some very prominent engineers
and biologists who have been in this
district have stated that this is un-
questionaably a part Of the srea
Comstock lode and a place along is
trend where everything is favorable
for vast deposits of rich ore. There
is more than an even chance that
the coming year will see this one
OF the richest mining districts in the
entire country.-Ramsey Recorder.
