Jennings Admits His Team
Was 0utplayed But Is
Proud Of II

Detroit, Oct. 1T want to say for !
the Detroit club that they played clean
baseball they played fast baseball, and
they played it like gentlemen and sports
men. / cannot say too much in praise i
OF their craftsmanship and courtesy.
Jennings has a great team but l think
the Chicago team is greater. Our team
is the greatest that / ever saw on a
field. I firmly believe that no team in
the world could have beaten us with
the kind of ball we were playing during
the worlds championship series" said
Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago
worlds champions.
"Wle were beaten because the Ch1ca-
go team played better ball. l freely ad-
NIT that our opponents played better
ball than we did. But l will not admit
that they are better team. Detroit
did not play the game they are capable
of. There was not day when the
Detroitess did not PIT dash and ginger
| into tt1esr work but they did not meas
ure to their full ability either at the
plate or in the field" said Manager Jen-
nings. manager of the Detroit team.
By defeating Detrriot this afternoon
2 to 0, the Chicago team of the Ma
tional league, retained the title of the
champion baseball team of the world.
In the previous series Detroit n1anag-
ed to get one of the tie games and
then went down in four straight de-
feats. In the present series. Detroit
snatched one victory out Of the five
games played.
Chicago, according to critics showed
superiority in every department Of
the game in the series as whole. The
superior ity was not apparent the day
Detroit batted victory off of Pfeister's
curves.
Detroit was handicapped by Sfcrnidt S
inability to cut down runners at second
and the failure of her heavy hitting
outfeld to bat at critical moments when
q hits meant runs. None Of the De
troit pitchers seemed to consistent,
. puzzle the Chicago bats1nen, for ever
Mullin, who pitched Detroit's only vic
tory. was found for seven hits.
Throughout the series Chicago
Uniting was opportune Occasions wer'
rare when with men on bases and hit
i were needed that Shicago batsulal
. was not there with the needed hit.
~ The games were singularly free iron

to enforce discipline and good order
