ONE SEASON HAS

Detroit Comes Under the Wire in Great Form-New York Wins
 Another.

Chicago, Oct 7.--Detroit took the American league pennant yesterday. Only once in the whole afternoon did Chicago have two on base and none out. That was in the sixth. when Smith singled and Hahn was passed. Donovan grinned, famed out the next two and made Dougherty pop up a fly. :,
 In the first inning Mcintyre led oil with a single. Bush struck out, but Crawford delivered two bagger' Cobb had been soft for White all sea son. so White was left to fan Tyrus. .Tyrus soaked three base drive down center field and Walsh came on. ls- bell fumbled Rossman's roller. Walsh made wild throw to catch Rossman asleep, Tannehill made neat tumble, Schaefer inserted hit and four runs were scored in the inning.
 With one down in the second, Bush and Crawford singled and Bush was nailed at third. Cobb's hit scored Crawford. After this the Tigers rest ed easy.
 In the ninth the Tigers fired a fare- well salvo. Davis fumbled Mcln- tyres effort and Bush chopped short hit over in the infield. Crawford smote safely-his third hit of the afternoon and the next two men made outs which sent other people home. Me Intyre and Bush scored. The Sox re- tired rapidly in the ninth and the throng swept over the field, some weeping, others congratulating the Tigers. The score:

THE SPORTING NEWS.
only had right to do but was re-

only had right to do but was re- quired to do.
 ITO many patrons of the game 1t may appear In picturing the play m their minds as rather peculiar that Umpire O'Day under condition of this kind should have been watch ing the play Ut second. It is for this reason that we quote from ODays testimony as follows:
 Mir Murphy: T would like to ask you, Mir O'Day, if the matter at Pittsburg had caused you to antici- pate a play of this sort?"
 O'Day: "Yes. sir, and came within an ace to tell Bob, but l thought that I had no right by my actions to tell the players what to do or to give them an inkling of what I thought. It was my duty to be at the plate and watch them."
 We therefore find that the rul- ing as made by the umpires was in accordance with the playing rules and in conformity with what hap pened on the field at the time. To set aside an umpire's decision on a judgment of play by evidence from the persons in attendance at any game would. to our mind, be estab- fishing a bad and dangerous prece- dent and one that the baseball pub lie would condemn in a very short time. iEt
 Tn this case, however, there is not a. single line or word of testi- mony offered by the New York club that could even by inference be con strued to mean that Merkle reached second base at any time excepting the affidavit of the player himself, which. however, was not made until after Mir Pulliam had passed on the case. We can therefore come to no other conclusion than that the New York club lost well earned victory as the result of stupid play of one | of its members. We sustain the president in upholding the report of the umpires with reference to this game" Ebbets after the meeting said he considered it mandatory that the game be played off now. The other members were non-committal. Pres ident Pulliam said: ''The decision speaks for itself. I have nothing to say
 I've will play them Thursday and we'll lick lem too," said President Murphy of the Cubs last night be. fore his departure for Chicago Well make it so decisive this time that no bone headed base running can cast a shadow of doubt on the l contest. We want to win the cham pionship on the playing field and nol in the legislative halls of baseball politics. The Cubs will leave Chi cago tomorrow and arrive in New York Thursday morning.
 N"The members of the board Of al rectors who handed down their de cision yesterday did so only after long and careful consideration of th' complicated matters before them and I think that each and every on' of them acted to the best of hi I judgment and belief in the premises Of course the deci/on is a disap pointment to the Chicago club as VI felt that the game was ours unde the constitution. We will take ou
 medicine, however, and be game
 and I feel sure that the Cubs vii
 again prove that they are the great
 est team of ball players in tn
 world"

KNABENsHUE NEAR DEATH.
Balloonist's Controlling Apparatus Gets Out of Gear Half Mile Up.

Pittsburg, Oct 7.-Roy Knaben- shue, the aviator, and George Dues Ter, his mechanic, had a narrow es- cape form death yesterday while making an exhibition flight over the business part of the city.
 The breaking of wire when half a mile in the air just over the Prick building disabled the controlling ap- paratus.
 The balloon, which moment be- fore had been sailing beautifully, began twisting and turning, while the propellers forced it rapidly to- ward the earth.
 Duesler climbed out of the basket and crawled along the framework until he could catch the parted wire. Then he chung to the end of 1t until the balloon was landed in Schenley park, three miles from the scene oi the accident.

GOOD SIX ROUNDS.

Portland, Me, Oct There was an exciting bout of six rounds at the Pastime club last evening between Bartley Connolly of Portland and George Gunther of New York. Tom Sawyer of Portland was the referee. From start to finish the work was good, the men aggressive and every round a give-and-take affair.
 Gunther proved a fine infighter, and whenever he got a chance to fight at close range he bothered Con- molly. In the main Gunther confined himself to body blows. while Connol- ly sent vigorous left to the jaw oc- casionally, but without much appar- ent effect. Both men landed fre- quently and there was good deal of force behind their blows. The bout was very even.

TWO FLY MORE THAN AN HOUR,
Wilbur Wright Makes New World Record-Got Best of Gust of Wind.

Paris, Oct 7.-Wilbur Wright has beaten the worlds record for an aeroplane flight with two persons. At the Plain of Auvours yesterday, car rying M. Fordyce, reporter for the Journal, he flew nearly forty miles in hour, minutes, 26 Is seconds. For the greater part of the flight the wind blew at the rate of three-fourths mile an hour.
 After the aeroplane had been in the air for half an hour there was a fierce gust, which struck the machine sideways. The aeroplane swerved and reared, and the spectators be- lieved that an accident was about to happen, but Wright brought the ma chine to level again and continued flying.
 The flight was ended by the guid- ance of automobile lamps placed at the turning points. It was through M. Fordyce that France took a $125.- 900 option on the Wrights' patents in 1905, but never completed the deal.

Near ly everybody was worried for that matter, but in the sixth and seventh innings the New Yorks punched six of their seven hits off Ferguson, won the game and still retain clutch on pennant prospects The score:

THE PU0ILlsrs.
Results of Battles That Took Place
 Last Night.

T.. IabL 0tkuts
 In the bouts at Hartford last night the grand windup was between liar " Scroggs of Baltimore and Paddy Sullivan of New York. Al McMur- ray, who is the manager of Scroggs. had George Gunther in the corner with him. Gunther Is from Aus tralia and is known as the Kangaroo. He had two draws with Sam Lang ford and he is about as black as the human pile driver. 5croggs is hne looking fellow and has got a hne head of hair, but he didn't appear last night as If he knew much about boxing. In the first place he has no defense at all and he doesn't hold his arms as If he had been taught how to guard a blow. Scroggs boxed as If he intended to get in one good wallop and let 1t go at that, but Sul- livarl was too clever to stand for the wallop. Anyone who can put 1t over Charley Seiger, as Sullivan did a few nights ago. has got a good knowledge of the game.
 Sullivan started out with left jabs to the face and he handed most or them. Scroggs depended upon hard swings, but 1t took him so long to get them started that Sullivan knew when they were coming. The aim of Scroggs was . not good, either, and most of his swings were too high. After ten rounds both boxers were in good shape, but Sullivan clearly showed his superiority. McMurray spoiled good boilermaker when he tried to make boxer out of Scroggs.

Philadelphia, Oct 7.-Yankee Swartz of South Africa set a packed house wild at the West End A. c. last night when he beat Johnny Coulon, the 105 pound champion, in the greatest bantamweight bout ever seen in Philadelphia. It was a slugging bee from the first gong and Coulon found he had met man who would fight all the way.
 In the first round Conlon ran into right swing which staggered him. Until the fourth round Swartz was a winner; then he began to tire under the pace. Coulon landed hard with both hands in the fifth and offset Swartz's jabs. The last round was even and full of furious exchanges.

STEEL BOWLING BALLS.
Inventor Claims Great Things for the
 New Scheme.

.
 Steel bowling balls, made by a Worcester company, are being tested by professional bowlers in Chicago and New York That the new balls will make it possible for a bowler to increase his average scores 50 per cent and that the balls have numer- ous advantages over the wooden or rubber style ball, which has been in use so long, is the claim of the sec retary and general manager of the company. "The balls are of regula- tion size and weight and are perfect spheres within 1-1000 of an inch. They are 27 inches round and weigh IS pounds. They are hollow, made of pressed steel 5-16 of an inch thick sand are practically seamless, being formed in a press under 1000 tons pressure. The finger holes are a seamless tube, the weight of which is counterbalanced on the opposite side of the ball, and is continuous curve. allowing one. finger to touch the thumb within the tube, if the fin ger and thumb are long enough"
