can easily be determined whenever there
are fragrant violations of the law.
With an increased force in the de,

but are only corporations for the lawful
purpose OF reducing the cost of produc-
ton.
lin other words, what we ought to
have is the regulation of these great
plants to see that they do not violate
the law, but there should be full per
mission to them to go on and add to
the output in the country, to increase
our prosperity
And when they violate the law they

New York Won Another Game from

Chicago Oct. 7.-Chicago used up
three pitchers in vain attempt to check
the Detroit Tigers yesterday afternoon,
but the latter would not be headed of,
winning the game, Z to 0, and with it
the American league championship for
1908. White started to pitch for Chi
cago but after Mcintyre had singled,
Crawford doubled ana Cobb tripled for
two runs, he was sent to the stable,
while big Walsh was substituted.
That was a bad mole for the big pitcher
to pull out of, but he might have held
the Tigers had there been perfect sup
port. But the Chicago inteld went TO
pieces, including Walsh himself Ross

fumbled, and Cobb scored, Walsh then
threw into the crowd trying TO get Ross
man OIL first, the running going to sec
ond and scoring when Schaefer hit for
single Thomas then hit TO Tannehill,
VINO fumbed. Walsh got a-going then
and Davis popped to the pitcher and
Donovan fouled to the catcher. There
were four runs, however-an insur.
mountable lead as IL turned out, with
Wild Bill Donovan pitching the game
of his life.
Donovan allowed but two hits, and but
five men got first base during the whole
game, two on singles and three on
passes. In addition, Donovan struck out
nine men. Chicago was simply helpless
before him.
Meanwhile Walsh was having his trou-
bles in the box and ne retired after
three innings. Detroit tailed once again
in the second, mainly on two errors, one
by Parent on a grounder and one by
lsbell on a dropped thrown ball when
Walsh tried TO get Cobb off first II
was evident that. Detroit had Walsh's
measure, as the Tigers gathered two nits
in the fourth, although no runs were
forthcoming.
Smith was sent to the mound in the
fifth to replace Walsh. That stopped
