cledH pHseDani ana they played IL llke gentlemen and sportsmen. I cannot say too much in praise of their sports manship and courtesy. Throughout the entire series there was not even a small dispute between the two teams Manager Jennings has a great team, but think the Chicago team is greater, Our team Is the greatest that I ever saw on a baseball field. l firmly believe that no team In the world could have beaten us with the kind of ball we played during the worlds championship series, Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago Worlds Champions.
 We were beaten because the Chi- cago team played better ball. But I will not admit that they are q better team. Detroit did not play the game they are capable of. There was not the old-time Detroit dash and ginger to their work and they did not meas ure up to their full ability, either at the plate or in the field. d."--Hugh Jen- nings, manager Detroit team.
 By defeating Detroit this afternoon. ? to o. the Chicago team of the Ma tional league, retained its title as the champion baseball team of the world The present series differed but little from that of last year. In the prev ious series Detroit managed to get one tie game and then went down to four straight defeats. In the present ser les, Detroit snatched one victory out of the five games played.
 The Chicago team showed superiori- ty in every department of the game In the series as whole. although this superiority was not so apparent on the day that Detroit batted a victory off Pfeister's curves Detroit was handi- capped by Schmidt's inability to cut down runners at second and by the failure of her heavy hitting outfeld meant runs. None of the Detroit pitchers seemed able to consistently puzzle the Chicago batsmen, for even Mullin, who pitched Detroit's only vic tory, was found for seven hits. Throughout the series Chicago's hit
 
 were rare when, with men on bases and runs needed. Chicago batsman was not there with the needed hit
 The games were singularly free from squabbling and on only two or three occasions were the decisions of the umpires questioned. At no time vas 1t necessary for player to be 70 l. ever created less interest in the two cities most affected than that of last year, if the attendance may be taken as a guide. The paid admissions were only 62,2S2 for the five games and the receipts totalled but $94, ,978, as com pared with s101,O00 last year. The attendance at the final game this af- ternoon was but 6.21O with gross re- ceipts of $9,55750.
 Of the money taken in, the players of Chicago, the winning team, get s27,669 and the Detroit players S1s,446 The club owners get $l96S1 apiece and the national commission $9,497.
 While there is gloom in Detroit to- night, Manager Hugh Jennings is un- daunted. He believes in his team--be- lieves that 1t will yet prove its superl- ority over all comers-and he does not contemplate past defeats, but looks for ward to another year and another struggle which may have another re- suit. Through the fierce uphill battle this afternoon he stood off first base, coaching the runners on every move. and spurring the batsmen on to make their best efforts. There never was a faltering note in his well known cry of ''Wee-Ah" and any slight advantage of his team set him to executing his pe- culiar war dance.
 A feature of the game was schmidt's s recovering of his throwing arm, which had not been working well during any previous game Chicago was not able to steal a base on him for the first time during the series. He caught Stenfeldt trying to steal second by yards; he handled two bunts In clean fashion, retiring his men at first, and he broke up an attempted double steal by Evers and Chance.
 overall for the second time, pitched a masterly game Only three hits were made off him He gave four bases on balls and struck out ten men. One of these strike-outs however. occurred when Rossman made his third swing at a wild pitch and reached first safely Donovan, on the other hand, met with a very vigorous reception in the first inning when three consecutive hits sent Evers over the plate with the first run of the game. With the exception of the fifth inning, when 0 base on balls and Evers double gave Chicago another run, Donovan managed to keep the hits scattered. It is probable, however, that Chicago would have run up 0 larger score had 1t not been for the brilliant work of the Detroit infeld
 Evers scored Chicago's first run. He singled to center, took second or Schultes hit to left and raced home on Chances safe drive to center, A base on balls was primarily responsi. ble for Chicago's second and last run Klng walked went to second on Over alls sacrifice and scored on Evers double.
 Detroit threatened to score but once Coughlin was safe when his groundel to stelnfeldt took an awkward bound and he went to third when Mcintyre doubled into the lcftheld crowd But the needed hit was not forthcoming from either O'Leary or Crawford, for the former flew out to Hoffman, wht G.,
