 Championship,
JENNINGS MEN BLAMKED
American League Champions Unable to Score on Pitcher Brown Attendance Fails to Come
 Up to Expectations.

Detroit Mich, Dot. 13,--Chlcago crept one game closer to the worlds baseball championship to-day by de- feating Detroit, to O. Chioag5 has now won three games of the series and Detroit one. Eddie" Summers, Detroit, and Miner" Brown, the pre- nier pitchers of the Chicago team, opposed each other and the latter had all the better of the argument al- though Summers pitched excellent ball in all but one inning. In the third Summers passed two men on balls. Chicago got two men on bases in the first and one in the second without the situation, however grow ing precarious In the third. after Sheckard and Evers had been retired Summers wavered ever so little and Schulte was presented with standing room on the initial bag and stole sec ond Chance, the next man up, also was allowed to walk despite the stpen- uous objections of the Detroit battery, to say nothing of the crowd Singles by Steinfeldt and Holman followed, sending Schulte and Chance across the plate. stehfeldt took third and l Holman second during the process of (run getting, but the best Tinker could do was a grounder to OLeary, who threw him out
 Chicago's next and final run occur red in the ninth inning, when Winter took Summers place in the pitching box. The change in seasons made no difference with the Chicagos With two out Evers singled to left and stole second, coming home on Chances sin gle to right.
 Detroit threatened to score only once. In the fourth inning Brown found himself in pretty hole when singles by O'Leary and Crawford placed them respectively on second and first bases with none out Cobb came to bat and bunted. The ball rolled slowly toward Brown who, without even looking at first, shot it on line to third just in time to force out O'Leary. Crawford, who had taken second on the play. took lead off that bag and was caught by Tink- CT, which spoiled Detroits only chance to score. and perceptlhly de- pressed the spirits of the specta- tors. Crawford retired to the bench very crestfallen, for where there had been men on bases with an excellent chance of scoring there now were two out with Cobb on first Cobb started to steal second at the same time that Umpire Connolly called a third strike on Rossman. Presumably King did not hear what the umpire said, for he threw to Evers and Umpire klem called Cobb out. The play however, did not count as Rossman had ul- ready made the third out
 The pitching of Brown was clearly to his usual standard. His only wild ness was In hitting Coughlin in the fifth. He allowed only four hits, two of which went to OLeary and two t5 Crawford, one of the latters being a double. He struck out four men, be- sides accepting four fielding chances in perfect style.
 While the crowd was larger than that which turned out to view the opening struggle of the series here. it was not 30 large as had been expect ed in view of Detroit's victory yester- day, The turnstiles registered 12e0I paid admissions, from which the gross receipts were sis,23l.
