Championship series Less

Detroit. Oct. 14-By defeating Detroit
this afternoon. to 0. the Chicago team
of the National League retained its title
as the champion base ball team Of the
world. The present series differed but
little from that of last year In the pre-
vious series Detroit agreed to one tie
game ana then went down IN four
straight games. In the present series
Detroit snatched one victory out Of the
five games played.
Tho chicago team according to tho
critics showed superiority in every de-
partincnt OF the game in the series as a
whole although this superiority was not
SO apparcn, on the day that Detroit
batted a victory off Pfeisters curves.
Detroit was handicapped by Schmidt ;;
