tlonovaa, the Americas Pitcher, la
Batted Freelr fa Final Game of
Scries Mmllla Goes
to Ilia Relief.
DETROIT. Mich., Oct. 11 Pittsburg- won
the world' bane bs.ll championship at Ben
nett park today by defeating Detroit by
the overwhelming; score of 8 to 0 In the
seventh and decisive game of one of the
greatest battles fought for the world's
title. This glvea the National league cham
pions the victory by the count of four
lames to three.
" This Is the third auecesslve'defeat of the
American league champions in the world's
tertee and consequently the third straight
rletory for the National league, the Chi
cago team having defeated Detroit in 1907
and IMS.
To Charles - Adams, the phenomenal
young pitcher from the Louisville Ameri
can association team, belongs the lion's
hare of the credit for the victory and his
wonderful pitching has crowded Wagner,
Leach, Clarke and the other Pittsburg
tars Into the background. Today's vic
tory waa his third of the series and he held
Detroit safely through the entire game, lie
allowed but six hits and In orily one In
ning, the fourth, did Detroit get more than
one safety. Adams allowed only one base
on balls and In four Innings he retired the
hard-hitting American leaguers In one, two,
three order.
The crowd was a distinct disappolnt
' ment, aa there waa only 15,662 paid admis
sions. It was expected that the game
would break all local attendance records
because of Ita importance. The receipts
were $19,677, and thla waa divided 11.967.70
to the National commission and 18.8M.65
to each club ownera.
; Thla brings the total attendance for the
' seven games up to 146,444, and the total
receipts to 1188,303.60.
'' The weather was far from Ideal for
-base ball, but was a distinct Improvement
on that which prevailed for the other three
f cinwi played here. . The -thermometer waa
close to 80 degrees above tero, and neither
too cold for the spectators or the players.
The two twlrlers upon whom Detroit had
pinned its faith In winning the great series
were lacking when the critical time came.
"WIK Bill" Still Wild.
.-. "Wild Bill" Donovan lived up to his
nickname by passing six batters and hit
ting another In the first two innings.
While this lack of control allowed Pitts
burg to score only two tuns, It had a bad
effect on the Detroit defense, and Pitts
burg scored often after that. Donovan
. allowed a two-bagger and a single In the
third, but a snappy double play stopped
Pittsburg from scoring. George Mullin
was sent In to bat for Donovan ' In the
third inning and took up the pitching after
that. The Detroit man waa unequal to
the task of pitching four games of the
seven, and waa easy for the Pittsburg
batters after Donovan had given them
their start. Mullin waa hit hard In the
fourth and alxth, and Pittsburg soon piled
up a commanding lead.
. The play waa fierce tn the early innings,
but Detroit grew discouraged as Inning
.after Inning went by and it could not
score on Adams, while Mullin wae helpless
In holding the National league champions.
Robert Byme and George Morlarlty were
.Injured In a collision at third base in the
first Inning and both were forced to leave
the game, although Morlarlty remained
until he had hit a two-bagger In the sec
ond, i With Byrne on second and Clarke at bat
In the first, the Pittsburg manager passed
-a, hit and run signal to Byrne. The third
baseman started for third on the signal,
but Clarke missed the ball. Byrne made a
desperate slide for third and his spikes hit
Morlarlty in' the leg. lie waa called out.
''but both men fell to the ground after the
play. It waa found that Byrne had a
sprained ankle and he was carried from
) the field. This necessitated a shift In the
Pittsburg team and Lynch "was shitted to
third and Hyatt went to center field.
.'Leach played a brilliant game at third
while Hyatt alBo did well. Molarity's leg
. bothered him, but he remained in the game
until the next Inning. When he went to
, bat in the second he hit a two-bagger Into
' the right field crowd, but could hardly
; limp to second base. O Leary fas aent In
to run for him and finished the game at
, third base.
'Oatloek Baal for Detroit.
The wildneaa of the Detroit pitcher la
hown by the record of Fred Clarke. He
had four bases on balls and a sacrifice
' hit In five times up. The outlook for
Detroit was decidedly dark from the first
ball pitched. It was seen that Donovan
" was wild as he pitched a couple of bulla
to Bryne and then hit him. Leach aacrt
, flced, Donovan to Tom Jones, and then
: came the play at third which resulted in
the Injuries to Byrne and Morlarlty
Clarke drew a base on balls and stole
. second. Wagner also drew a pass and
Miller forced Wagner at second. Bush to
Delehanty, ending the Inning.
The poor work of Donovan was even
more pronounced in the recond and Pitta
. burg was presented with two runs. Ab
stain opened by drawing a base on balls
and stole second. Wilson bunted in front
of the plate and Absteln beat the throw
to third, while Wilson was aafe on first.
Olbsen popped to Bush, but Adams was
given another pass and the bases were
full. Hyatt sent a sacrifice fly to Craw
ford and Absteln scored. Leach received
' another base on balls and the bases were
again filled. Still another pasa Was given
to Clarke and he forced Wilson across
the plate.
Cobb saved Detroit by making a greet
catch of a hard drive by Wagner. - There

Defeated to the Mat.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-Jack
aon vindicated Ills right to the
weight title today by knocking ou
ley Ketchel In the twelfth rouni
end came so suddenly that when
rolled onto th floor and Referee
counted him out the 10,000 persons
Ing the arena were, absolutely quItJL
full minute. Even Johnson, who leaned
against the ropes, half dazed by his own
fall a moment before, did not seem to
know what had happened; ,
The climax of the fight was crowded
Into thirty-four seconds. At the beginning
of the last round there was little to Judge
from the preceding rounds to pick the
winner. The men in the center of the
ring clinched and wrestled to Johnson's
corner. The negro broke away and, posing
himself, dashed for Ketchel, who sprang
to meet him. Kemel drove his right at
the black's lowered head. Johnson ducked
and the blow landed behind his ear. He
stumbled, fell and stretched out on the
floor, landing heavily.
Ketchel backed toward the ropes with
a smile glimmering In his buttered, blood
streaked face. Johnson rose slowly, as
though dazed. As he straightened to his
knees, his eyes encountered Ketchel's and
with the fury of a wild beast he leaped
across the ten feet that separated them.
His right fist shot to the white man's
Jaw. Ills' left crashed to , the stomach
and the right swung again with the speed
of lightning, catching Ketchel's head aa
he reeled back from the onalaught.
Ketchel dropped in a heap and Johnson,
unable to atop hla rush, sprawled across
his beaten rival's lega and fell full length
himself.

The negro sprang to his feet with a
bound, but Ketchel was out. Once, as the

DRAKE AND C0E PLAY POORLY
Boneheaded Playing; Characterises
the Contest.
DES MOINES, la., Oct. 11 (Special Tel
egram.) The feature of today's game be
tween Drake university and Coe college was
the bonehead playing of Drake, though it
won the game by 36 to 0. Drake made
eleven In the first half. Fullback Purdy
made four of ths she touchdowns. About
the best that could be said of the gama
was that the Drake men played together
pretty well, but both teams were devoid of
any star playing and the game elicited but
little enthusiasm.

YORK HIGH WINS FROM WYMORE
Winners, However, Show Lack of
Team Work.
TORK. Neb., Oct. 11 (Special.) Tork
foot ball enthusiasts for the first time
were able to get a line on what kind of a
team would represent Tork this year, when
the first foot ball game of the season was
contested this afternoon on the Tork ath
letic ' grounds between the Wymore High
school and Tork. Tork played a gqod game,
yet showed lack of finished team work, and
m swifter company Tork would not have
made a showing. Wymore hajp a good team
of aturdy playera, who in weight were
about the same as Tork. They held Tork
down to a small score, but at Xw time was
Tork's goal In danger. Wymore made
aome galna, but could not gel through
Tork'a defense. Several new plays were
tried by Tork, and often gains were made,
but unless Tork can show more speed and
greater team work It cannot hope to win.
Wymore sought to make Its gains by
straight foot ball, line smashes and end
runs. Tork made moat of Ita gains by the
aame kind of work. At the end of the sec
ond half the acore waa S to 0 In favor of
Tork. The Wymore team expresaed them
selves well satisfied with the good treat
ment and entertainment received at Tork
and look forward next year to a return
game

Fighting fiercely to the last minute of
play Nebraska went down to defeat before
the powerful Minnesota eleven at Vinton
park yesterday afternoon .In one of the
hardest battles ever waged between these
two teams.
Neither aide scored In the opening half
and the advantage aemed to be with the
Cornhuskers when the whistle Bounded for
the ten-minute intermission; but In . the .
second half the Gophers succeeded In twice
crossing the Nebraska goal and In onoe
getting the ball over the crossbars for a
drop kick, making the acore: Mlnneaota,
14; Nebraska, 0.
In holding the Gophers to t t ta score,
in the Initial half "King" Cole's. men did
what neither Iowa nor Ames could do In
their gamea with the Gophers an-i placed
themaelves in the claaa of the former Ne
braska teams that have always given Mia
nesota a hard battle.
Line "ararlslaarly atroas.
It was Nebraska's Una, thought ta be
extremely weak, that-dld berolo work and
actually outplayed their .opponent during;
moat of the game. The powerful exposition
of the Cornhusker tackles and eenter dur
ing' the first half broke up! the offensive
play of the Oophera and cast a pall of
gloom over the small contingent from the
northern atate.
The Cornhuskers did not weaken In the
second half, but the backfleld failed to
play as well as it had In the opening sea-'
slon and with the slowing up of U.e backs,'
the linemen did. not ahow the ginger and
dash that had marked their work In the
opening aeaslon.
For Minnesota there were two tiara, one
who met with an aocident and bad to leave
the game, and another who atayed through
both halves, apparently- growing stronger
In his offensive play aa the gam drew to
close. The former waa JohnaHon, left
half, who waa tackled Juat after the sec
ond half opened, sustaining a braken leg
and being forced from the gamet-probabry
to be laid up for the rest of the season
and almost certain to be out of the Chi
cago game two weeks off. '
Captala McGovern Great.
The second man waa Captain McGovern,
who played ' at quarter. Hl wonderful
running back of punts many times drew
the large crowd to Its feet and forced the
rooters silently to give him praise. He
punted well, too, his klcka going a greaUer
dlatance than thoae of the Nebraska cap
tain. . .
When tackled the agile little Gopher
would wriggle and writhe In such a way
that many tacklera were thrown to the
ground, , allowing . McOovern to apeed on
toward the Nebraaka goal. In the second
aesalon he ran back thirty and thirty-five
yarda on several of Captain Beluer's
Punts. . . ,j
All the time he ran the team at quarter
In a rapid way, forcing play after play to
a varied attack that at times bewildered
the Cornhuskers and kept their defense
guessing.
Until Johnston broke hla leg he waa
called upon to carry the ball moat of the
time, and he received many of the punts In
the flrat half, running them back nearly aa
wall aa hla leader. It waa a mistake on
Coach Williams' part to permit Johnston
to carry the ball so often, and this error
coat Mm hla atar halfback. ,
' Three Chances ta Sear.
A forward paaa, blocked kick, and a
fumble of a punt gave Mlnneaota Ita
three chances to acore. The flrat touch
down waa made three rrlnutea after the
aecond half opened and Just after Johnston
had been removed from the game. r
The Gophers bad the ball on Nebraska's
forty fl'e yard line. McOovsrn hurled the
ball 10 retlljllin. whe rsd ths Csla
busker right wing, golr.s to th five yard
line. Here two plunges at the line failed
to put the ball over and the Oophera had
one yard to make. Smith, fullback, wag
called' upon and pushed the oval across.
Farnam failed to kick goal and the score
stood: Nebraska, 0: Mlnneaota. E.
. few minutes later, with the play In
Nebraaka territory and Captain Beltzer
backed up on his own twenty-yard line.
punt waa necessitated. The Nebraaka
captain fell back and booted ' the ball.
Walker, left tackle, broke through the Una
and blocked the ball. Rademaeher fell on
the ball and It waa Mlnneaota'a on Ne-
braska's eighteen-yard line. Rosenwald on
two olays pushed the ball to the one-yard
line, from where Smith again pushed the
ball over Tor a second touchdown. Farnum
kicked goal.
Poor handling of a punt from MeOorera
to Captain Beltser gave the ball ta the
