NEW YORK, October 7.-Although the
last regularly scheduled games of the
National League season are to be played
today. the day will end with the race for
the pennant still undecided. Post season
games will be necessary in any event. and
there is even a possibility that Pittsburg.

one material game remained to be played
today. that between New York and Bos-

JENNINGS CREW
0UTPLAY S0X
Bat Star Pitchers to All Cor
ners of Lot for Seven
Runs.

CHICAGO, October by humbling the
White Sox on their own grounds and be-
fore the largest throng Of sympathizers
who ever encouraged Fielder Jones and
his braves to battle. Hughie Jennings and
his plucky Detroit Tigers yesterday after
noon won the second successive American
League pennant in the most thrilling race
that Ban Johnsons circuit has ever
known. The score was Z to o.
This decisive shut-out was but a just
termination of the grand death graphic, SC
far as the relative merits of the combat
ants on yesterdays form were concerned
The champions fought with all the tenac-
ity of purpose for which the followers OF
Jennings are noted, and so unquestionably
outplayed, outgeneraled and outfOught
| their rivals that even the most rabid
south side rooters were moved to a storm
OF applause, worthy of true victors. Not
till the last man had been retired did the
I loyal Sox rooters give up hope. Despite an
apparently overwhelming lead as inning
after inning dragged by without issue, Sc
far as their hopes were concerned. they
cheered for Jones and his courageous
| band. But when Detroit had won. the
| big crowd broke onto the field and bore
| the victorious Tigers high on their Shout
ders to the clubhouse. Had 1t been the
Sox who won the day the demonstration
could have been little less spirited.
Glass Told at the End.
1t was a survival of the fittest, and
class told in the balance. Buffeted by
fate and internal discord, the great lead
of the Tigers in midseason had been cut
down by the other strong western clubs
Pushed down to third position by these
circumstances. and injuries which put
several veterans out of commission. Jen-
nings once more marshaled his forces and
began anew the grueling hand-to-hand
encounter.
Fielder Jones, less fortunate in the early
| season, had, by a remarkable preservation
| OF reserve energy. crowded from humble
position in midseason to we'll within strik-
| Ing distance Of the champions. His ad-
vantage was further strengthened by the
| fact that Detroit was to wind up the sea-
son in a three days series at the south
side. Three in a row from the Jungaleers
| would turn the trick. When Chicago took
the first two of this all-important series
Chicago hope ran high. and the White Sox
proved strong favorite for the final con-
test. Everything favored the Windy city
