MONDAY, OCTOBER, 12 DESPITE HIS TWO DEFEATS, JENNINGS IS STILL VERY CONFIDENT non slew up IN THE EIGHTH ID CUBS IN "HlC'AGO.—After eight innings ol' clock work baseball Sunday, "Wild Bill" Donovan, premier pitcher of the champions of the American league, weakened under the prolonged strain, and the Chicago world's champions captured their second game of the present scries. 6 to 1. Detroit's hopes, which were high after seven innings in which Chicago had made only one hit, were dashed in the eighth. In that sensational portion of the game Donovan was hit for a home run, a 'triple, a double and three singles. Incidentally, he walk ed one man and allowed another to score on a wild pitch. Overall, on the contrary, was steady throughout the game, holding the Tigers to four hits and one run. That run marked De troit's despairing effort in their half of the ninth. Donovan's Work Fne for Seven In nings. Nothing could have exceeded the excellence of Donovan’s work up to that fatal eighth. He had speed, an assortment of curves, which he mixed up in baffling style, and he cut the corners with the greatest precision and speed. He had the best of Chi cago's batsmen swinging wild, and twice struck out the redoubtable Kling. Not until the fifth did the world's champions connect with his wizard curves. Then the distinction fell to Overall, who, considering t ."H high class of ball he pitched, did not need the added glory. But he did it—poked a short fly just beyond Downs —and the Chicago enthusiasts oried loudly for a run. It was their first legitimate chance for ridding themselves of the excitement. Dono van, however, only smiled, and, a moment later, the side was retired on a flashing double play. Then Ov erall passed Downs, and the latter was sacrificed to second, where his obsequies as a runner was perform ed. This was farther than Chicago went. Overall reached first because Rossman, who stopped his grounder, instead of covering the bag himself, waited for Donovan to do bo, and the latter dropped his throw. But the big Chicago pitcher got no further. Again in the sixth Overall reached the initial sack on his single, but with these two exceptions Chicago could do toothing with Donovan's de livery—that is, up to the eighth. Then it was different. Overall’s Pitching Masterly. Overall’s pitching was masterly. He was found tor only four scattered hits, no two of which came in the same inning, and one of which has to be counted because Overall and Kling both went after Schaefer’s bunt and, each stopping for the other to field it, it went for a hit. He Issued passes tw Crawford and Mclntyre, who hit above .800 all season, were unable to connect safely with his delivery. That he was effeotive in holding down Crawford with the kind of ball he pitched was remarked by critics of the game. Crawford is known as one of the surest hitters of a high ball in either league, yet Overall curved them around his neck or shot them straight across without getting into trouble. Kach side was credited with an error, but neither of them figured In the score. Merry Widows Cause Trouble. Up to the eighth, the game was a pitcher's battle, with both sides for the most part going out one. two, three. It began to look as If the ex perience of last year's championship series, when the same pitchers work ed, would be repeated, namely, a tie game. There was comparatively lit tle choice. The spectators were too highly keyed by the neck-aud-neck struggle to indulge in much cheering. And besides, despite bright* sunlight, the air was rather chilly, which also had a subduing effect. There were a number of rugs and blankets used with comfort In various sections of the stands. The main grandstand held a fair sprinkling of women, whose headgear, when It hapened to be of the latest sweeping model, which was nearly always, created considerable merriment, not untlnged with malice. The stand was crowded, and in one wing men and boys stood up and cheered wild whenever a women with the gigantic fall fashion In hats walk ed down the aisles. Outwardly the applause was good-natured, hut it had its inception in the fact that one of those hats would block the view of half a dozen spectators, while any one sitting at the side of a woman thus bedecked had to lean far aside to keep out of range. However, with the beglning of play, the mockery of cheers ceased and the fair spectators saw the game serenely through. Tinker the Hero. To Jon Tinker belongs the credit for breaking, in the eighth inning, the spell which Donovan had held over the Chicagoan* for ao long. Stein feldt had hi ruck out, and Hodman had reached firat because Schaefer, after a beautiful one-handed pick up of hla weak grounder, had thrown low. The crowd scarcely hoped for more than a single, and hardly expected that, when Tinker came to bat. Donovan aent a fast waist-higb In shoot over the plate—that la to say, partly over It. It never got all the way, for the ‘stocky Chicago shortstop, who had already popularised himself by fast, clean fielding swung viciously. The bail soared high, so high that Ip seemed certain It must drop Into Cobb's hands, a* that fielder was play ing well back as a result of previous experiences with Tinker. But there was an unsual amount of energy be hind the Mt, and It sailed high and clear Into *the stand In right field Tinker, preceded by Hoffman, trotted Tlxia picture represents football plays posed by jilayers under tbs direction as Glenn Warner, coach, of he famous Carlisle In dian eleven.

Horns were blown, bells rung and throats strained to Increase the ova tion. Manager Jennings sought to persuade Umpire Klein that the hit should go for oply two bases, but Klem only smiled. Such have always gone for home runs. The ground rules provided that hits into the over flow crowd should restrict the run ner to two bases, but this certainly had nothing to do with that tremend ous wallop of Tinker’s. The applica tion of the rule was illustrated by the next man at bat, “Noisy” John Kling. Kling drove the first ball pitched ifdo the overflow crowd in left field and stopped running when he hnd reached second base. This onslaught had af fected Donovan, but he stll woiled and retired Overall on a weak grounder. He went to pieces, however, when Sheckard, the next balsman, singled over second and scored Kling. The whole team, In fart, seemed to be stunned by the suddenness of it all. Sheckard made a desperate steal of second, and went to third on Kvers’ safe bunt. Rossman, in a moment of absent-mindedness, broug.V about by the genera! catastrophe which had happened to Detroit’s aspirations, al lowed Evers to Hash away from first, and reach second standing up while the ball remained In the first base man’s hands. Schulte tripled to deep left-center, scoring Sheckard and Ev ers. Then, to finish matters up. Dono van threw a wild pitch, and Schulte trotted across the platp with Chi cago's sixth and last run. Chance walked and stole second while Schmidt was musing over the ball on Detroit's sudden fall in fortune, hut Stelnfeldt flew out, retiring the aide. Tigerg Score One Hun. Detroit substituted D. Jones for O'Leary for a. final try for victory, and the substitute was given his bate on balls, lie went to second on Craw- I ford's out, and scored when Cobb Singled to center. Rossman, however, hit into a double play and the game was over. The attendance, due largely to the chilly weather, was only 17.7fi0 paid ' admissions, according to official fig ures, made public after the game. The gross receipts were $20,967. Chicago. Ab. R l(.

His various con'racts since the time he made his debut as a big banner with the Philadelphia Na tionals In 1890 show' that he has gathered in this arurJun?' in salaries. He drew $2,100 hts Hist year, $8,500 the next, $4,000 in the succeeding season, $4,8000 for 1889 and 1900, ail (he while being with the same club, lit 1901 he joined the Philadelphia Athletics, and during that year ami 1902 he received $5,500 each season lor his services. Then Cleveland se cured film under a throe-year eon tract for $20,000, which agreemeir was renewed under another three year clause at *28,000. Since 1905 I.ajoie has maniged the Cleveland team, and while he has never won a championship, his club has always ffhished well up In the standing. This season his Blues were a factor In the American league racq, and it Is said that, when the baseball year closes lie will be tendered another three year contract to sign at the same salary which he is now receiving.
