CROWD HISSES
ANGEL CAPTAIN
SERAPHS HAVE BAD DAY AND
SEATTLE WINS
Errors In Two Innings Result In
Many Tallies for the Slwath
Band— Score
7 to 2
. Ange.s. 2; Seattle, 7
Hlnve the days when Charley Rellly
Incurred the displeasure of Los An
geles random, no homo player received
,such a hissing and hooting as did Cap
tain Frank DJllon yesterday afternoon
tit Chutes park, whero tho Angola lost
to Seattle by a score of 7 to 2 otter a
ragged exhibition by local talent.
Although Dillon suffered more than
was coming to him through a misun
derstanding of the crowd, he turned a
trick early in the game which was
'anything but captain like Driven to
finger by a decision of XTmplro Mahaf
fey In thn third, when tho latter called
Blankenshlp safe as Dillon endeavored
to tag him on the line, tho Angel cap
tain banged tho ball on tho ground
whllo Blunkcnshlp flashed down to soc-
Then came the big cat call from stand
unit bleacher and all for Mr. Dillon.
This was but a fragment to what was
coming, However. Burns, who occupied
I the box for Ix>s Angeles yesterday, was
not altogether successful and did sev
eral things that appeared foolish from
the diamond fide.
>?.' Whatever crltlcsm may bo dealt Dil
lon, no one doubts his intent to win If
ithere Is a possible chance. Often Angel
; players havo been thn subject of scath
*ing remarks after some unfortunate
'episode, with Frank dealing out the
'burners. Such wag In order yesterday.,
In the. eighth inning Burns was ob
' served to start for the bench and then
return when Nagle walked toward the
box. As Dillon and Burns hnd Just
concluded a word contest it was taken
for granted that Burns had been or
jdered oft the field and Dillon camo in
•for more call down.
■:'■■', Every appearance of Frank from that
time on meant a fresh storm of con
demnation. "When Burns came to baf
he was given a rousing cheer. The fact
of the matter was that Burns voluntari
ly left the field and later decided to
I continue.
V Burns took . exception to Dillon's or
der , when he called for Brashear to
'take a ball which descended directly
' over the pitcher's box in the eighth.
■ Dillon claimed that as Burns had
fallen down on a bunt in the third and
then thrown wild to third it was
. a safer proposition for Brashear to
;take the catch. Hence trouble.
Perhaps It was well that a little
' extra excitement occurred, as the An
gela behaved very badly and helped
■Seattle lengthen the run column.
* "Rube" Vickcra was out for Russ
Hall and proved very stingy when
singles were needed. -In the early in
nings "Rube" was told he wouldn't do.
/Along toward the end they applauded
him. Thus the fickleness of buseball.
■ Rube was- very, much *to the good
,with men- on bases, and though he al
>lowed four men to , walk, . struck out
seven Seraphs. .'-,••.
"•' To Van Buren, center fielder of the
iSi washes, must be accredited a sensa-
Itional and artistic bit : of work In the
.second, when he committed a deliberate
robbery by freezing Bernard's Texan
'leaguer back of second.. Ninety-nine
'< times out of a hundred such a drive
would have fallen safe, but Van put
on an extra spurt and with a final ef
fort' reached for and held the ball,
coming within an ace of falling on his
face. ' - i . : •• •
. Mr. Van Burcn, as luck would have
it, came next to bat and started an
awful moss when he singled to center.
Both teams made two runs In the first.
Van Buren drove safely to center and
reached second as Burns threw wild to
. catch him at first. Blankenshlp came
■ along and ""hit to Burns. The latter
promptly fell down and In a sitting
posture threw wild to third In an ef
fort to head oft the flying Van Buren.
• Blankenship In the meanwhile kept
on toward second, but started back as
Brashear flashed the ball to Toman.
Blank dodged back and forth and when
finally hedged in botween Dillon and
Toman made a wild dive under the for
mer, recovering first. Dillon swung at
him with the ball, but Mahaffey said
safe. .
. Frank immediately became vexed and
slammed the ball on the diamond, Blan
kenship annexing second. Eddie House
holder and his big club put In an ap
pearance and Nagle jumped away as
House slammed one to short. Van
Buren scored. Householder started to
second and Blankenship was caught at
the plate by Toman's throw, House
. holder reaching third. Burns then
broke all records for wild pitching and
hit the top . of the stand. Householder
coming in.
An awful mixup and series of 'wild
throws resulted In the Keventh, when
four more came over for Seattle. The
ball was* tossed to every part of the
diamond 'while Slwash runners leaped
around the bases.
An Immense crowd witnessed the
Kame yesterday and remained to watch
Jack O'Brien give his customary vau
'.deville performance.

CHAMPIONSHIP FLAG
WAVES OVER CHICAGO
AMERICAN WHITE SOX
TEERI HO DEMONSTBATION ACCORDED
President Murphy of Losing Club Gives Praise to
Comiskey's Men and Says That Best Team
Won—Nationals Are Not Forgotten.
Keceive a Great Ovation
njr Afcoclated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.— The Chicago
club of the American baseball league is
the champion of the world. By Winning
today's game, 8 to 3, ngulnst the
local club of the Nntlonal league
the Americans earned the right to fly
the world's championship pennant, as
well as the pennmit of the American
league, to ride to the grounds next «ea
son In carriages and to have "World's
Champions" lettered on tho blankets
worn by their horses. Today's game
wns the sixth of the series and the
fourth victory for the Americans.
When the last National batsman hod
gone out and the stunning fact that the
new champions had been created
burned Its Impression through tho
minds of excited thousands, a crowd
surged around the box where sat
Charles W. Murphy, president of . the
losing Hub. He smiled gamely at re
quest!! for a speech, and said:
"The best team won. They won be
cause they played better ball. ! Too
much praiso cannot be given to Presi
dent Comtskey mul Captain Jones and
the team which, by unprecedented
pluck, climbed In mtdseatiou from rov
enth place to the top of their own
league, and then topped oft that great
accomplishment by winning the world's
championship from the team that tnado
a runaway race In the National league
contest. I call: for three cheers for
President Comlskey nnd his team."
Cheer ufter cheer followed tho speech,
but they were lost to the hearing of
most of the crowd, which was busily
cheering other things— the Individual
players, the players collectively, and
thumping said players pn the back with
fiuch enthusiasm that every one of them
had to fight a way out to the waiting
■carriages. . ,
The cheers for the losers were not
lacking. They had lost the greatest
distinction which baseball offers to itu
votaries, but the still a great team,
and the crowd which followed their
carriages through crowded blocks did
not spare their throats in saying so.
Oomlskey'B face was wreathed in
smiles long before- the game was over,
for the Americans put the victory In
storage in the first two innings. When
Schulte went out at first after an
abortive race, and the great series was
over, Comiskey shook hands with such
of his players as he could reach. The
others were fighting to save themselves
from their friends and had no time for
congratulations save pounding each
other on the back. <■ ■ •
The crowd seemed loath to leave the
grounds when the game was over.
Thousands poured out of the bleach
ers and circus seats on to the field,
while those in the stands stood up ami
watched the spectacle. The yells and
sereechlngs of noise-making devices
which had been rending the air all day
during the game apparently to the limit
were redoubled. It was pandemonium
let loose.
The players tried to cling together for
mutual protection, but it was useless.
A few moments sufficed to make each
one the center of a densely packed half
crazed throng out of which he had to
fight his way. I
The wives of sucli Americans as were
married were waiting for their spouses
In the carriages to carry them away
safely from tho hero worshiping mob.
A crowd of small boys tore th» ■wire
screen from a ticket window after tho
game was over and got Into the field
merely to stand on the historic ground
and share in the excitement.
The victory was a fairly earned one,
which Is shown not only by the fact
that the Americans won four out of six
games, incidentally making It unneces
sary to play the seventh, but by the
hits and runs the Americans, all told,
made 22 runs, compared with 18 by
the Nationals. They made thirty-nine
baso hits as against thirty-seven for
the Nationals. The Nationals made but
five errors, compared with fourteen by
the Americans. The latter also made
the greater number of extra base hits,
but the ground rules made nearly all
of them good for only two bases.
Among the expert critics of baseball
it In generally admitted that to the
American pitchers most of the credit is
due. This despite the fact that the
American pitchers have but twenty
six strike outs to their credit, against
thirty-five for the Nationals. The
Americans gave nineteen bases on balls,
ii:i against eighteen by the Nationals.
Notwithstanding this the American
pitchers were effective when hits meant
runs, particularly against such men as
Chance, Schulte, Steinfeldt and Kling.
These .men, all consistent hitters, were
all but helpless during most of the
series. On the other hand the Ameri
cans, popularly called the "hltless
wonders," batted more strongly than
their opponents, who d-rlng the Bea
son had done the heaviest batting In
the National league. .
In stealing bases the Nationals had a
shade over the Americans. Catcher
Kllng and Sullivan, who caught tho
entire series, were both formidable to
baßo runners, but of the total of thir
teen bases stolen tho Nationals got
eight.
Over 19.000 paid admissions had been
registered at the gate at noon, the
balmy weather and the holiday bring
ing the crowds out early.
The grounds being full to bursting the
gates were cloned and play was begun
at 2:15 o'clock. Completely encircling
thn grounds was a closely packed
crowd of enthusiasts. Small pennants
bearing the names of the owners'
favorite team, were In nearly every
hand.
One man on the top seat of tho
bleachers had a'u unearthly sound-pro
ducer, uy turning a crank It gave out
orodigious noises, half groan and halt
••■all. To the supporters of the Na-
tionals during the first two innings the
Bound 'was expressive of their feelings.
A brass band of six pieces occupied
part of one box for the first time dur
ing the aeries, but could scarcely make
Itself heard above the din. When,
however, popular aha were played the
crowd Joined in and sang to the
music.
I A total of fourteen hltx, two of them
doubles, tells the story of today's game
and now It was won. Captain Chance
replaced Mordecat Brown In the pitch
ers' box in the second, although Brown
had pitched a hard game on Krtday.
The 'Americans connected with his
weakened delivery for eight safe hits
In the two Innings and then retired to
the bench. Overall, who was called In
yesterday to retrieve that game, was
again culled upon . and held the Amer.
ilraiiH to six hits and one run during
«h« remainder of the game.
\ Ills support was fexcelleiit. Time and

again Tinker and Evers, by blocking
hits, prevented runs, as did Hoffman
In center by spectacular running
catches. Sheckard also mado a great
backward running catch which kept
the score down.
When the Americans Assumed a lead
of six runs the Nntlonal players were
n grimly determined looking lot, but
try as they would, they could not solve
tho puzzling delivery of Vr. White, the
opposing pitcher. Time after time the
heavy hitters of the team batted out
easy ones when hits meant' runs.
All told they gathered only six safe
ties oft White. Part of the crowd
rooted hard for a ninth Inning rally.
Tinker, to his evident chagrin, went
out. Bvera raised flickering hopes by
a scratch double to right, but Kllng
promptly failed. Qessler, a substitute,
batted for Overall and was" allowed to
walk. Hoffman singled to left and
Evers scored. Sheckard was safe on
an error. Schults now camo to bat.
With all the burden of, a forlorn hope
on his shoulders, he -hit a grounder
straight to Donohue and tho series
passed into baseball history.
The attendance at today's game was
19,249, making the total attendance for
the series 99,845. Tho receipts for to
day's game were 120,861 and the total
for the six games was $105,640. Of this
amount the players' share Is $33,402.
•The American league men, with
twenty-one men, will receive $25,062.
The Nationals' share for nineteen men
will be $8,350. Tho receipts for last
year's championship series was $68,435
and of last year's American-National
series, $26,774.

SPORTING GOSSIP
AND COMMENT
Itoy Hitt is practicing with tho Seals.
The great southpaw Is coming around
nicety and will b« flble to get back In
the game In a. couple of days.
Farko Wilson hfls signed a , player
who bears up under the nani« of John
Qulncy Adams Andrew Big Fnir. One
more namo would have broken tha lino
type. ' . /
Tilff Joe Nenlon, who mode good with
Plttsburg this »'oh son and who was a
populftr Idol with the fan* of the east,
la to piny with Danny Bhay'e Stockton
team. Nealon is on old friend of Khiiy's
nnd will get In the gamn to help out
Dan. Ho should make 11 great drawing
card.
President Hert is lo bo ronßnitulated
in snaring Mich n good umpire ns In
this fellow Derrick. Ho seems to be the
Koods. lln has a volco that would do
Jufttlco to an Italian bans singer nnd
gets around tho field lit excellent fnfch>
lon, Ho Is a man patterned much Bfter
the fnnhlnn of .Silk O'Loughlln, and If
lie lins the n«?rve of that Rentlemnn he
will make his mark In hit) chosen mis
fortune.
The Scaln have Rlgnori two now
catchers, comely lade, both of them.
Ono Is Brown, who caught around
Maripoea, and tho other In Kclhl, who
played around tho s«nd pyramids of
Ouklnnd. Tho boys urn nattle luokera
and should be of much assistance to the
regular kid backstops, who are now
overburdened with tho arduous tusk of
catching.
Said the resident of Chicago to the
visitor: ;">..<
"What impresses you moat concern
ing our city?"
Said the visitor:
"I don't care to ' talk baseball. I've
come on serious business."
Though Matty Baldwin beat Chester
Goodwin nil the way In their fifteen
round bout at Boston last week, Ref
eree Flaherty called It a draw. In the
opinion of many of the spectators this
was one of tho worst decisions that
has ever been given In the cast, and he
has handed out many.
Fancier Wotr of Manhattan has re
cently bought in England the blood
hound Ripple Hector. The dog has been
highly successful on the English bench,
adding many laurels to the collection
of his late owner, Handley Splcer.
At the first exhibition of the moving
pictures In Chicago of the battlefield at
Goldfield between Joe Gans and Bat
tling Nelson . so great a crowd flooded
into the New York theater that many
had to be turned away. The pictures
were, remarkably clear and showed
every punch distinctly. The crowd be
came very enthusiastic as the fight was
rolled oft and cheered repeatedly.
On account of the many assertions by
Nolan that he had been robbed of the
fight, particular attention was paid to
the pictures of the last round. There
was some difference of opinion as to
whether the punch which ended the
fight was foul. Terry McGovern, who
wus on hand, said that it ■\yas a very
doubtful foul at best, and that even If
It had been a foul It looked quite unin
tentional.
BASEBALL ON
THE SQUARE
"I TOLD YOU SO" CHORUS HAS
NO CHANCE
Had White Sox Thrown Yesterday's
Game Big League Clubs Could
Have Cleaned Up Over
$2p,OOOMore
The wise acres.'of which there were a
goodly number, are . wondering today
why the Chicago National and Ameri
can league clubs let slip an opportunity
of adding at least (20,000 to their sate
receipts. , •
Had the White Sox thrown yester
day's game, which could hay« been
done easily enough, a record breaking
crowd would surely have assembled for
the deciding diamond battle. Over $20,
000 was taken In yesterday and a larger
amount would surely have been forth
coming had another game been in order.
That baseball is conducted along
lln«s of highest sportsmanship was
thoroughly demonstrated in the out
come of the post seaßon series which
closed yesterday. Absolutely no grounds
exist for claiming: that other than pure
love of the sport animated Chicago's
great exhibitions.
So far as baseball Is concerned it was
perhaps better that the White Sox won
yesterday's game, as from many quar
ters would have come an Immediate
"I told you so" chorus. .
As President Murphy of the Cubs
said after the last man went out: "The
best team won."
With Buch men at the head of base
ball the grand old game will surely con
tinue as the American national pastime.
Here's a hand to Sox and Cubs, Both
could not ' win, but what a gallant
struggle resulted when the mighty nines
clashed. '■■ •-' . ■ ■ ■ !
The White Sox's race throughout the
league season was an unparrulleled one
and that . they ' should end v glorious
session - by ' defeating: Chances's Cubs
forms one of the most remarkable rec
ords In the annals of baseball.
