DETROIT WILD
WITH GLEE OVER
TIGERS SUCCESS
Resolution Of Congratulations
Adopted by City Councils
Over Winning Pennant.

DETROIT, Oct. 7.-Horns and
squawkers, drums and blazing torches
waved aloft, with Manager Hugh Jen-
nings's familiar cry of "We-Ah" on
every tongue. wildly last night &C
claimed Detroit's second winning OF
the of the American League.
Not only in the downtown section, but
throughout the city excited children
and adults, who had -breathlessly
watched the score-boards this after
noon, surrendered themselves to cele-
bration Of the baseball victory, I'm
guarded packing boxes and lumber
blazed up in celebration in every direc-
ton, while good-natured police and
firemen were kept busy checking bon
fires and trying to keep the celebrators
within bounds. Every inch of the city
was burning with baseball fever. OH
cial recognition of yesterdays victory
of the Detroit American League base
ball team was given by Mayor william
B.. Thompson in the submission OF a
special message to the Common Coun-
ell and the adoption by the Council of
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That We, on behalf Of the
people of the city of Detroit, extend to
Manager Hugh Jennings and to each
and every member of the team the
most hearty congratulations for the
splendid work already O in winning
for the second time within the space
of two years the championship of the
American League.
Resolved, That the merchants and
citizens generally are requested to
decorate their places of business and
residences for the days on which the
games of the world series will be
played here, and that all employers be
requested to afford every possible OPP
portunity to those who desire to attend
the world championship games; and be
it further
"Resolved, That the city clerk trans
NIT a certified copy of this resolution
to Mr.. Jennings and to every member
of the team"
In his special message submitting the
resolution to the Council, Mayor
Thompson said,
1.-THE news from Chicago is a matter
of very joyful concern to all our peo-
pie. Once more by a gallant fight, pos
sibly the most memorable in the his
tory of the game. the members of the
Detroit Baseball Club have brought the
pennant to this city, and their fellow
citizens are proud of the achievement.
1t is only fitting that some public ac-
acknowledgement be made"
The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-10-07

1t developed since the season closed
that President Potter had decided to
make a sweeping change on the Bison
City team. He has asked waivers on
all of the players except Smith. Should
Griffith, however, obtain the franchise
1t looks as though Smith will have to
be content with a playing position.
In the meantime the rumors are fly
ing thick and fast about the departure
of Manager Stallings from Newark to
the Highlanders. 1t is certain that
Farrell would like to get Stallings and
would offer him a fabulous sum to take
ur he managerial reins. Stallings says
that he will stay in Newark. These
were his admitted intentions when he
left this city a week ago for the South.
Despite the fact that the Yankees will
train at Haddocks Stallings insists that
he Is not going to New York, but will
stay right in Newark and try and lead
the Tigers to the pennant next year.
Several New York papers who are said
to be trying to force the issue can see
no one but the big leader of the Tigers
for the Yankees manager next season,
with Wolverton in Newark as leader
and third baseman.
Changes are due all over the league
THIS season, though Jimmy Casey and
Hugh Duffy will be back at their old
posts. Rochester will have a new
manager. Who he will be Is a ques-
ton. President Chaplin likes y Jack
Dunn, of the Orioles, who has practi-
cally severed his relations with the
Monumental City bunch. Chaplin, 1t Is
said, thinks that Dunn is the only man
who is available to land the club at
least in the first division.
Jack Dunn does not know where he
is going next season. The chances ars
that Wilbert Robinson will be at the
helm in Baltimore, Robbie is in pretty
solid in that town and the fans would
like to see him in charge.
Strange thing about Dunn is thai
every time he wins a pennant he lose.
his job. When he won. out at Provi.
dence he only lasted two years. Hugh
Duffy having purchased the club ant
Dunn had to hook up with Baltimore.
Joe Kelly, 1t Is reported, will go bacl
to his old love at Toronto, and Mccain
will be given another chance with thu
Shelters.

would freeze out Pittsburg. Catch the
point? Then they would have to meet
the Cubs in a series, best W out of
three games. 20 to settle the tie game,
but the tie in che race.
There is still a third way Of looking
at it. BY pitching Mathewson. New
York would have about an ven chance
to beat the Cubs in a one-game play
off. But the Giants have cause to e q
Chicago if it came to a series of three
games. At any rate, nc decision is ex-
pected until the verdict of today's game
Is known.
Meantime, until this tangle has been
Strengthened out no consideration can
be given to the worlds championship
series with the Detroit Club. which
yesterday won It's second successive
American League pennant under the
management of Hughey Jennings, How
are you going to arrange for the
worlds series, If the winner of the Ma
tional League is not known?
Today's game with Boston will cut a
big figure. The Giants expect to win,
of course, but Boston put up a pretty
stiff defense yesterday II the result
is not absolutely certain. However,
that part of the program looks pretty
sweet for the Giants. 1t is evident
that the Beaneaters are pulling for
New York, and, hat being the case,
they are not apt to play their heads
off to beat McGraw's men.
An inkling Is to the feeling Of the
Boston team for New York was shown
in yesterdays game. At a time when
neither team had scored q run, and
New York failed to score after having
a man on third, with nobody out, Out
fielder Browne made a hair-raisine
catch of Wiltse's drive. But for that
catch the Giants would have scored
one or two runs in that inning.
AS the Beaneaters trotted in from the
field Browne did the next thing to
offer an apology for making the catch
cit was only a lucky stab" he said to
the newspaper men. "T never thought
I'd get near the ball."
To make certain of getting in the
game today Manager McGraw has de-
| cided to begin play at 2 o'clock. Ames
will probably toe the mound. leaving
Mathewson for the big game or games.
Should things get warm" for the
Giants this afternoon, Matty will be
chased to the rescue.

The Cubs are now steaming East on
the Twentieth Century Limited, to be
here in time for that game tomorrow,
IL game there is, but so far no game
has been decided upon, and all con-
cerned seem to be standing on their
heads.
The board of directors in rendering its
decision yesterday made 1t optional
with the Giants If the tie game was
to be played off. The Giants are leav-
ing It to McGraw, McGraw is leaving
1t to Brush, and Brush Is putting he
affair up to his lawyers. Decision one
way or another will have to be made
quickly, for the game in question
should be played off tomorrow at the
Polo Grounds.
Just to make affairs a little more
complicated. Barney Dreyfus, president
of the Pittsburg Club, has butted in
with o protest against permitting the
game to be played off tomorrow or any
other day after that. 1t so happens
that today Is the last regular day of
the National League season, and Drey-
fus Is flourishing q clause which APP
pears In the bylaws, to the effect that
no postponed or tie games shal be
played off after the regular champion
ship season.
."I can see no fairness in the ruling,
which says the game is to be played
over If New York so DESIRES" said the
Pittsburg magnate. Under our own
laws that game can never be played
over, because our season closes today,
end the rules, as I understand them,
prohibit the playing off of postponed or
5v-a INV ronooc a flor That 6Atn'
ibid the league not refuse the West
ern clubs permission to play off post
poned games after last Sunday, Octo-
Der 4, and announced that the same
would hold good against the Eastern
clubs after October z? Mr.. Brush was
the gentleman who fought hardest
against the Western teams being per-
mitted to play after the closing date
fixed In the original schedule, and now
the New York owner, himself, is given
permission to break a rule of his W
manufacture. I shall protest against
playing a game off after season"
One way of looking at 1t, Dreyfus is
taking a queer stand, for 1t Is barely
possible that, If the tie game is played
off. a triple tie for first place, taking in
P%ittsburg, may result, and that would
be the Pirates advantage. But then
Barney figures wisely that the result
will not likely turn out hat way. Be-
sides, the Pittsburg team disbanded
after last Sundays game, and it would
be no easy matter getting them to-
gether again.
The whole thing in a nutshell seems
to be this: The game will be played OIL
If New York says the word. Drey-
fuss protest will cut no ice, since the
powers that be gave New York per-
mission. But Owner Brush will prob
ably reserve his decision until after to-
days game with Boston.
Should the Giants lose, which isn't
probable-but should they lose, they
would naturally conclude to play Off
the tie game. If the Giants didn't they
would lose first place altogether;
whereas by playing Chicago and beat
ing them they would establish q three
cornered tie for the championship.
Now then, if the Giants win today,
they may deem 1t to their best advan-
tage to sidestep the tie game. That
