HOW WILD BILL
Won THE FLAG
Or Story Of How the Wind
Blew the White sox of
the Line

Chicago. Oct. 7.-what is said to
have been the closest pennant contest
ever waged by American league base
ball clubs, came to an end in this city
yesterday when Detroit, the cham
pions Of 1907, captured the emblem
for another year by defeating Chicago
2 to 0. Detroit, Cleveland and Chi
cago struggled all season for first
place, never being far from each
other in the percentage table. and not
until the last game was played could
the winner be picked. st. Louis put
Cleveland out Of the running Monday,
leaving the field to Detroit and Chi
cago. Chicago's fight has been an up
hill one, but Manager Captain. Jones
never despaired until the last Chicago
player had been retired. Had Chicago
triumphed, the pennant would have
come to this city. but the defeat Of the
local team in the final test left no
subject to debate for the III club"
Detroit's victory was clean and de-
cisive. Jones used three pitchers,
White, Walsh and Smith, but could
not subdue the Detroits. Donovan
pitched the kind of ball that will win
almost any game. His teammates
coming first to bat, lent him conf
dence in the initial inning by knock
ing White out of the box. and putting
four runs over the plate. Donovan's
manner was confident, az he faced the
Chicago batsmen, and inning after in
ming, with a calmness Approaching
non-chalance, he proceeded to make
first base very north pole Of unat-
tainability for his opponents. Two
hits in different innings were all that
Chicago could garner, and local rum
ner perched on second base Just once.
That was the only time that Chicago
made even the wrath of a threat:
Donovan, easily observing that the
sixth inning with Chicagoans on first
and second bases had an unfamiliar
appearance. straightway struck out
Capt. Jones and the gigantic Isbell,
and retired Dougherty with high fly
to right This being the first time the
Chicago enthusiasts had an opportuni-
ty to cheer, they seized 1t and for a
time Bedlam would have appeared q
quiet retreat compared to the South
Side BALI park.
BY winning the game, Detroit fin
sished with percentage Of .588 and
Chicago with $40. n e
Detroit's runs resulted not only
from the thirteen hits the team ac-

BEANS ARE WELL
DROWNED AGAIN
Giant Killers Climb the Feeble
Frame Of Boston for An
other Victory

New York, Oct. THE Giants are
now within two points of tie with
Chicago for the National league cham
pionship. They downei the Bostons
again yesterday to 1, after the Bean
eaters had held them to q scoreless
tie for five innings. Another victory
today in the closing contest Of the
Boston series and the last game on
the regular schedule is now neces-
sary to establish the tie with Chicago
In case the season ends this way
the Giants can force the Cubs to
championship.
Wiltse showed the best form yes-
terday that he has displayed in two
weeks. He would have blanked the
Bostons, but for Seymour's nun in
the eight. Ferguson was invincible
until the sixth inning. The Giants
got elk OF their seven hits In the
sixth and seventh innings.
The Giants were greatly interested
in the outcome of the American
league championship game in Chi
cago. As the game started Frank
Bowerman was presented with a big
silver loving cup ais the result Of q
voting contest which showed him to
be the most popular visiting player
this season.

announced to the crowd the decision

This would make another game
necessary to decide the championship
and in this event the best three out OF
five would probably be playad on neu-
trail grounds.
The results Of the game today or to-
morrow are bound to bring about the
above complication Of figures and as
the results of the game today hass
not all been received the interested
fan :s left to apply the figures to the
cas- which suits and ascertain the 1e-
suit.
The play-off game which is now air
solutely necessary, should result in
favor of Chicago for several reasons,
according to the picking of many, the
main reason being that New York has
had to contend with an awful strain
while Chicago has been resting up for
the past three days. 1t is, however,
probable that the constant playing
will At New York for the battle, SO
the whole thing in nut shell can
not be decided until the last man has
finished batting in the ninth inning
in the game between New York and
Chicago tomorrow.

NEW YORK STOCK

NEW YORK, June s.-The long persist

steel products gained more authoritative
form today and 1t came to be generally pc
leved during the days session of the stock
exchange that substantial reductions would
be announced Immediately for all lines ef-
cept steel rails The policy OF the steer
trade in holding prices ut present has neen
the subject of varying criticism ever since
It formulated and the conviction is gem
eral that the marking down Of prices VIII
be the most effective manner OF reviving
activity in the trade. The fear tnat the
wage readjustment which must follow the
price revision may lead to controversy In
the midst OF the national. political campaign
is an additional factor initiating against
tho favorable effect the market had had IN
this incident Attention was attracted 10
the subject OF new capital issues by the
figures of the heavy fotation for May ana
the additional issues In early contemplation.
The May total Of s16e.s7b,ooo new stock ana
bonds while somewhat lower than April 10
far In excess of the issues for May OF last
year. The total Of $722,e52,154. to which
the new issues since the first OF the year
have risen represent an unprecedented
figure for that period. The proportion OF
this new financing which was devoted to re-
fund cannot be sscertained but the rapid
rate of expansion of capital liabilities at a
period of business concentration which
nearly limits the rate of capital replenish-
ment, commands the. attention OF bankers
and investors. The additional security pro-
posed for Union Pacifc bond issue was re-
garded as significant OF the taste or IN
vostors at this time in that direction as
much az for the rate of return offered. Tne
understanding that the Union Pacihc bonds
would not be offered for public subscription
until the middle of the week kept open the
question of what would be the treatment OF
the market by the forces which have sought
to pave the way for this Notation when II
10 fairly out OF the way. An excellent enect
was produced by the report OF further oe-
,raa.a a, tina nurnber of idle freight cars In

HAY CROP TO BE GREATER
THAN ORIGINAL ESTIMATE

Scott & Magner, hay and grain merchants
San Francisco, report the following:
A few odd cars of new hay have been
coming in but not enough has arrived as yet
to establish any definite market basis on the
new crop. Our advices from the various
principal hay sections tend to show that
practically no trading on the new crop has
yet been done the ideas on prices OF the
buyers and the sellers appear to be some
what apart. We also advised from
many points that the crops are yielding In
hay much more than originally estimated
and that the general quality Is much above
the average. The unsatisfactory conditions
of general business and the stringent money
situation will have to be reckoned with in
adjusting the markets for the season on the
various agricultural products.
Alfalfa appears to be in fairly good de-
mand and all that offers on our market is
satisfactorily placed on arrival at our full
quotations for the various qualities.
There has been very little straw coming
into this market recently Amy straw OF
good quality that offers is easily placed al
full figures.
