Detroit. Oct 10-Rain marred the
first Of the series of baseball games
between Detroit and Chicago for the
worlds championship which went to
chicego, 10 to 6. At one time
Catcher Schmidt, of Detroit, was lyi :
prone in the mrd four feet from the
home plate, with the ball in his hand
struggling to arise while the Chicago
runner trotted in with a run.
Chicago was compelled to use
three pitchers to win the game while
Detroit employed two in their efforts
to check the Chicago team Detroit
in their half of the first put a run
across the plate in sharp fashion,
amid deafening shouts from the local
crowd and silence of the Chicagoans
In the stands. Fut In the third Chi
cago rushed in four tallies while the
iONdlE were OEdDit u tOunttl WIFI
the ball In the seventh pandemonium
reigned as Detroit added thre more to
their string, making the score ) TO-
4 IN favor of Chicago. The noise be-
came ear-splitting in the next inning
when Detroit accumulated two more,
giving them a lead OF one run.
Won in Ninth.
But the ninth was different. 1t be- |
longed strictly to Chicago. Coming
from behind they annexed five more
tallies, lead which seemed insur-
mountabIe and which proved to be Sc.
Mordecai Brown was pitching steady,
hard ball and the best that Detroit
coud do In their half was one hit and
no urns.
Play began with drizzle, cooling
the enthusiasm of nearly everyone
present, and by the time the second
inning was under way the rain was
falling in abundance. At the end of
the sixth it had ceased, but the dia-
mond and outheld were exceedingly
slippery the base lines were elongat-
ed puddles of mud.
After the game Manager Jennings ,
declared that Detroit was by no ,
means discouraged. With a dry field b.
and another chance he declared the
story would be different. Chance, of
Chicago, said the victory was no sur
prise to him, as his team was in as
good or better condition than II was
last year when it defeated Detroit in
four straight games.
Tinker Was Star.
Chicago won by heavy and oppor-
tune hitting and brilliant work in the
field. Tinker. in particular played a
game at short, making
two beautiful stops and throws. aud :
