 Up Six Tallies.
SECOND GAME FOR CHICAGO
National League Champions Make It Two Straight from Dctroit--Over- all Twrls Steady Ball and AL
 lows Only One Score.

Blll'' Donovan, crach pitcher of the champions of the American league, weakened under the-strain and the ChI- caso world champions captured their second same of the present series, to |
 netrcits hopes, Which wee high af- ter ssvcn innings n which Chicago made only one hit, were daahed in the eighth In that sensational portion of the game Donovan was bit for home run, triple q double and three sim gles. Incidentally he gave one man base on balls and allowed another to score on a wild pitch Overall on the contrary, was steady thrOUghDut the game holding Detroit to lour hits and oue' rum That ran marked DatrG'5 deapairins effoft in their half of the ninth
 Nothing cunid have exceeded the eS- cellence of Donoynn's work up to Char fatal eighth He had speed, an ass1rt- ment of curves which were la9li0s, and he cut the corners with the great est precision. He had the best If Chl cagos batsmen swinging wild and twice struck out tho redouhtahte King Not until the sixth did the world cham pions bat his curves Then the distinc- tion fell to overall who, considering the high class of ball he pitched, did nor need the added glory But he did | it,. short fly just beyond Downs and the Chicago enthusiasts cried loudly for run It was their first legitimate chance to give vent to their eXctamaL Donovan, however, only smiled and a moment later the side was retired on a flashing double play
 Not runner on either side reached first base until the third, Then OverA all passed :DoHns; and the latter was sacrificed to second where he was left. This was farther than Chicago went. Overall reached first base he- cause Rossman, who stopped his grounder, instead of covering the bag himself. waited for Donovan to do so and the latter dropped the throw. But the big Chicago pitcher got no fur ther. Again in the sixth overall reached the fnitfa bHg on lis single but with these two exceptions Chicago could do nothing with Donovan's de- livery. That was up to the eighth. Then 1t was different. Ovcralls ptch- ing was masterly. He was found for only four scattered hits, no two of which came in the same inning, and one Of which was to be counted be- cause he and kling both went after Schaefer's bunt, and each stopping for the other to field it, and 1t became q hit. He gave passes twice Crawford and Mcintyre, who hit above BOO all season, were unable safely to solve his delivery. That he was effective in holding down Crawford with the kind of ball he pitched was remarked by critics of the game Crawford is known as one of the surest hitters of high ball in either league; yet Over all ctirved the ball aronnd his neck or shot 1t straight across the plate with. out getting into trouble Each side was; credited with an error, but neith. CT of them figured In the score.
 Up to the eighth the game was a pitchers battle, with both sides for the most part going out one, two, three, It began to look as if the ex- I5erience of last years championship series, when the same pitchers work. ed, would be repeated, namely a tie game. There was comparatively llt- tie noise The spectators were too highly keyed up by the struggle to engage in much cheering. And be- sides, despite the sunshine, the air was rather chilly which had subdung effect A number of rugs and blank cts were used with comfort in various sections Of the stands. The main grandstand held fair sprnkling of women.
 To Joe Tinker belongs the credit for breaking the spell which Donovan had held over the Chicagoans for SO long, Steinfeldt had struck out and Hoffman had reached first because SIchaefer, after fine one-hand pickup of his weak groundcr, had made a low throw. The crowd scarcely hoped for more than single, and hardly ex- pected that, when Tinker came to bat Donovan sent fast waist high inshoot toward the plate, and the stocky Chi caeo shortstop who had already popu- larized himself by fast, clean fielding, swung viconsly. The ball scared SO high that if seemed certain 1t must drop into Cobb's hands, as that fielder was playing well back as a result of previous experience with Tinker But there was an unusual amount of en- ergy behind the hit and if went clear into the stand in right field. Tinker preceded by Holman, trotted around the circuit amidst the first real cheer ing of the game. Horns were blown bells rung and throats strained to in- crease the ovation. Manager Jen- ningS sought to persuade Umpire klem that the hit should go for only two bases but ISlem smiled. Such hits have always gone for home runs The ground rules provide that hit into the Vorefow crowd should re- strict the runner to two bases, but this certainly had nothing to do with that long hit of Tinker's The application of the rule was illustrated by the next man at bat, Noisy" John King King drove the first ball pitched into the overflow crowd in left field and stopped running when he had reached second base.
 This onslaught had affected Donovan but he still smiled and retired Overal on weak grounder He went to piece. however when Sheckard the nex hatsman, singled over second and SCOT
