Chicago, Ill, Oct. IL Detroit be
came areal contender for the worlds
baseball championship today when il
defeated Chicago in decisive fashion 8
! to 3.
Manager Jennings achieved this re-
suit with a change in the lineup.
Downs was put on the bench and eff
cient Schaefer, who is at home in all
most any position, was moved from
third to second, Coughlin occupying
third This shake-up, however, cannot s
be said to have had any material eff
feet in winning the game, for neither
schaefer nor Coghlin got a hit, while
Goughlin bung1ed one Of his two
chances.
Counting the Worlds series of last
year, todays victory was the first De-.
troit has scored in eight contests for.
the highest prize in the baseball world.
Mullin, elected by Jennings to pitch for
3 Detroit, was steady throughout the game
4 holding Chicago down to seven scatter
hits and the passage Of only one man.
Pfeister's 1eft-handed shoot for the
most part failed to puzzle the Michi-
gan batsmen. Besides issuing three
passes, he was hit safely thirteen times,
two Of the cluster being doubles and
six of them occurring in one inning.
1t was in this inning, the sixth, which
gave the game to Detroit S
The Tigers, two runs behind when
the inning opened, came across the plate
in procession The crowd pleaded
for the retirement Of Pfeistter, Manager
Chance smiled cheerfully and ignored
the request.
Cobb, the idol of Detroit enthusiasts
whose playing was great disappoint
1nent a year ago, came into his own.
He batted like the natural hitter he
is and ran bases like a flash. Five times
up he hit safely four times. In the
eighth his strinting ability enabled him
to make a double of ia hit, which, with
less speedy man. would have been
good for only one base. In the next
inning he singled, and he not only stole
( second, but also pilfered third through
a margin.
Others, whose work contributed ma
terialy TO the victory, were O'Leary,
Crawford and Rossmarl. To Mullin,
however, the greatest credit was award
ed by the spectators, even in the fourth
inning, when all three Of Chicagos
runs we're scored, henever faltered. His
nerve remained steady, his arm strong
and his control excellent The only
base on balls which he allowed, was
turned into a run by Chicago.
Despite the fact that the sun shone
brightly today and the temperature was
higher than yesterday. only IA .543 paid
