Chicago Oct. 12-After eight in- nings of clockwork baseball Sunday, Wild Bill9 Donovan premier pitcher of the champions of the American League weakened under the prolong- ed strain, and the Chicago world s championship team captured the second game of the present series 6 to l
 Detroit's hopes which were high after seven innings, in which Chicago had made only one hit we"e dashed in the eighth. In that sensational portion of the game. Donovan was hit for a
 hone run. triple. double, and three singles
 Incidentally he walked one man and allowed another to score on wild pitch overall on the contrary. was steady throughout the game, holding the Tigers" to four hits and one run That run marked Detroit's despairing effort in their half of the ninth
 To Joe Tinker belongs the credit for breaking the spell which Donovan had held over the Chicagoans for so long Steinfeldt had struck out, and Hoffman had reached first because Sehaefer after beautiful one hand ed pick up of his weak grounder, had thrown low.
 The crowd scarcely hoped for more than single and hardly expected that when Tinker came to bat Donovan sent fast waisthigh inshoot over the plate. that is to say, partly over it. II never got aE the way for the stocky Chicago shortstop who had already fielding yiciously. The ball scared so high that il seemed certain it must drop into Cobbs hands, as he was we'll back as a result of previous eX- perlences with Tinkers. But there was an unusual amount of energy behind the hit and it sailed high and clear into the stand in right field.
 Tinker preceded by Hoffman trotted around the circuit amidst the first real cheering of the game.
 This onslaught had affected Dono- van. put ut Slill oiillltd anu ttN'AN' Overall on a weak grounder He went to pieces. however, when Sheckard. the next batsman, singled over second and scored Kling. The whole team, in fact seemed to be stunned by the sud denness of il all.
 Sheckard made desperate steal Of second and went to third on Evers safe bunt.
 Rossman in moment of absent mindedness brought about by the general catastrophe. which had hap pened to Detroit's aspirations allowed Evers to flush away from first and reach second standing up, while the ball remained in the first baseman's hands
 Detroit substituted D. Jones for OLcary rer a final try for victory, ard the substitute was given his base on balls. He went to second on Craw- ford's cat and scored when Cobb singled to center Rossman, however, hit into a double play and the game was over.
 Chance walked and stole second while Schmidt was musing over the tall on Detrnoits sudden fall in for tune. but Steiufeldt flew out retiring the side.

The Deep Breathing Cure.

A boy who was consumptive and
was rapidly going along the road to
the grave was taken in hand by one
who understood deep breathing and
the Importance of proper mastication
of food, etc. He was made to under
stand precisely why deep breathing
was of such vital Importance, and he
took lively interest in his own cure
He was fourteen years old. In very
few weeks the change was remark
able. He began to get firm fles'. on his
poor little limbs, his chest developed
well and a healthy color came into
his cheeks. His eyes. which were al
ways covered with sites, became per-
fectly free from them. and in three
months or less there was no sign of
consumption in him. may say he
was only treated once a week for
half an hour.-Pall Mall Gazette.

WISHED THEM BON VOYAGE
THROUGH LIFE.

In the wrlte-up Saturday OF the
surprise party given Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Crowl last Friday night sew
eral matters were overlooked. One
of them was that the depot en-
ployes presented the newly wed with
handsome set of sterling silver tea
spoons and carving set. The fol-
lowing little poem was read by Mrs.
Cameron:
watched the trees in the early
spring,
When the birds return from the
south and sing,
As the branches wave they seem to
say,
Come, little birds, up here and
play
And the birds debated and flutterel
around,
Hopping lightly from tree to ground,
Wondering much which tree woul
be best
To settle in and build the nest.
Some little birds are very aerial
And build up high towards the sky,
While others, foolish, cannot wait
And all they want is to find mate.
Now little birds and boys are much
alike
1t seems to me when choosing a wife.
Some boys will marry the very first
girl
They meet, with pleasant face or
curl.
At the depot 1 met him some years
ago,
A ticket agent, who seemed to know
All of the news along the line
And saw that the Great Northern got
in on time.
A very quiet chap, I heard it said,
Just to look at a girl made his face
turn red;
So they all gave him up and sighed,
/ fear,
Their only hope might be some lucky
leap year.
And he left the station and went to
work
At the Produce company, trusted
clerk;
Promotion followed, until today
He's secretary and gets big pay.
