tional League retained its title as
champion baseball team of the world.
The present series differed but lit
tie from that OF last year. In the
previous series. Detroit managed to
get one tie game and went down i'll
four straight defeats. In the present
series Detroit snatched one victory
out of the five games played.
The Chicago team, according to
critics, showed superior baseball in
every department of the game in the
series as whole although this supe-
riority was not so apparent on the
day that Detroit batted u victory out
off Pfeister's curves. Detroit was
handicapped by Schmidt's inability
to cut down runners at second and
by the failure OF her heavy hitting
when hits meant runs. None of De-
troit's pitchers seemed able to puzzle
the Chicago batsmcn, for even Null
lin, who pitched Detroit's only vic
tory, was found for seven hits.
Throughout the series Chicago's hit
ting was hard and opportune. The
occasions were rare when with men
on bases and runs needed, a Chicago
batsman was not there with the need
ed 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
was II necessary for player to be
sent to the bench to enforce discip-
line and good order. The series,
however, created less interest in the
two cities most affected than that of
last year. The attendance may be
taken rs guide. The paid admis-
slons were only G2,232 for the five
games and the receipts totalled but
S95,976 as compared with S101, 900
last year.
The attendance at the final game
this afternoon was but 62lO, with
gross receipts of $9577.50. OF the
money taken in the players of Chi
cago, the winning team, get s27,669
and the Detroit players s1S,44G. The
club owners get s19,6S1 each and
the National Commission s9i97.
Pendulum Swings
When the last man on the Detroit
side went out today the pendulum OF
victory ceased its swing between the
two teams. In 1903 the worlds cham.
lpiOnship emblem went to Boston oi
the American League. In the sue
ceeding series New York brought II
back to the National League. In the
following year the Chicago Whit,

ger organization. Last year the Chi
Cago Cubs got II back to the Nation
lal League by defeating Detroit. Blu
this year the pendulum did not swing
back, and the flag remains as thu
Iproudest exhibit which Presiden
Murphy has to display at the Yves
Side ball park in Chicago.
Jennings was not beaten today un
til Schmidt's foul in the ninth ha,

hill battle this afternoon he stood OF
the coaching line off first base

their best efforts.
A feature of the game wa
Schmidt's recovery of his THROWN
arm, which had not been workin
well during any previous game. CHI

broke up an attempted double stei
