Detroit. Mich. - BY defeating De-
troit Wednesday afternoon, 2 to 0,
the Chicago team of the National
league retained it's title as the cham
pion baseball team of the world. The
present series differed but little from
that OF last year. In the previous
series Detroit managed to get one tie
game and then went down in four
straight defeats. In the present series,
Detroit snatched one victory out of
the five games played.
The score by innings Wednesday:

Chicago :. ooo1 90 o % 10 o
Detroit 10 o o 0 0 o o o 90 8 0
The Chicago team, according to the
critics, showed superiority in every
department of the game in the series
as whole, although this superiority
was not so apparent on the day that
Detroit won.
Where Detroit Was Weak.
Detroit was handicapped by
Schmidt's inability to cut down run.
ners at second and by the failure of
her heavy hitting outfield to bat at
critical moments when hits meant
runs. None Of the Detroit pitchers
seemed able to consistently puzzle the
Chicago batsmen, for even Mullin,
who pitched Detroit's only victory, was
found for seven hits. Throughout the
series Chicago's hitting was opportune.
The occasions were rare when, with
men on bases and runs needed, a Chi
cago batsman was not there with the
needed 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
it necessary for player to be sent
to the bench to enforce discipline and
good order. The series, however,
created less interest in the two cities
most affected than that of last year,
if the attendance may be taken as a
guide.

Hopeful to the End.
Jennings was not beaten Wednes-
day until Schmidt's foul In the ninth

. Kings capacious mitt. Through
the fierce uphill battle he stood on the
coaching line of first base, coaching
the runners on every move and spur
ring the batsmen on to make their
best efforts. No success Of the rival
team and no failure of his own club
dampened his determined cheerful
ness. There was never q faltering
note in his wellknown cry of "Wee-
ah" and any slight advantage set him
to executing his peculiar war dance.
A feature of the game was Schmidt's
recovery Of his throwing arm. Chi
cago was not able to steal a base on
him for the first time during the
series. ,..
Overall Pitches We'll.
Overall, for the second time, pitched

Donovan, on the other hand, met
with a very vigorous reception In the
first inning when three consecutive
hits sent Evers over the plate with the
first run of the game. With the ex-
ception of the fifth inning, when a
base on balls and Evers' double gave
Chicago another run, Donovan man.

probable, e., however, that Chicago
would have run up larger score had
it not been for the brilliant work Of
the Detroit infield. O'Leary's spectac-

far back of second base was a feature
of the game.
