BENNETT PARK, Oct. 14.—The Tigers are today making what may very possibly be their last stand against the National league foe in what many fear will be the Anal and deciding game of the big world's championship aeries. With feelings that must be to some slight extent similar to those experienced by the gfcllant Custer when he saw the In* .dlan braves on fill sides of him at the iJttle ttfg Horrt, they dan only make up theliyroiuda’ to yip id up their cause flghtftig to the, last and with still au ootstfe chance of once more seeing peace and freedom. The cubs have now won three of the four games played. The world's championship is a series of seven games, provided that one team does not win four before the limit is attained. If the Cubs win today, tomorrow or the day after, it is all off with tho Wee-ah crowd. If the Tigers win to day they will have to do the same to morrow and then once more. With the odds 3 to 1 against the Tigera in each of the games it is easy to appreciate Just what the probabil ities are of their securing a champion ship with the present break in condi tions. Are we down-hearted? Well some! But not discouraged. Thera la Still a Chance. While there la,a chance, no matter how barely mathematical, the sup porters of Detroit’s great ball dull ran continue to hope. The Tigers have always been a great bunch when fighting with their backs against the wall. Time after time during the American league race they rallied when all hope seemed vain aud no one will forget their great feat of winning out by an overwhelming score Irt the •decisive game of the year when nil Chicago was geUlng ready to proclaim its proud poasesaion of two champlon shlpe. _ A little hitting behind Donovan would make it anybody's game and, though Wild Bill is still weary from the effects of the prodigious game he twirled against the Cubs on Sunday, and has never been noted as ah iron man, anyhow, he is to lie feared any' time he mounts the slab. The story told in another, column of this paper yesterday of,the great feat, of the Boston club when, after drop ping three out Os four games to Pitts burg Jimmie Colllna’ men braced up and won out the rest of the string In the first world’s championship battle ever staged between the American And National league clubs. Is doubly applic able today and (nore than once have the Detroit players discussed It. Desperate Game Bure. The Tigera go Into today’s game with the desperation of men who, in common estimation have nothing-, to lose and everything to gain. Thereds: sure to be an effort worth seeing when they cut loose and who know*?- To expect a continuation of that same great pitching which Brown banded out yesterday Is almost pass ing belief. Some day that Chicago In field will fall again as it did Saturday. Kilng la but human and the longer he continues to mow the runners down, the rtore Is the chance of baseball luck turning the other way. Once started on a string of victory, the Tigers may yet pot! through. Their gameness has never been questioned by anyone who had enjoyed an oppor tunity of Judging. They have played ranting good ball all through the ser lea. No American league team could have been expected to do better. Encouragement from the home root, era will surely help them In that des perate game which they will surely attempt today. At the park before the game the players of both teams conferred re garding two proposed benefits to ’>e tendered by the Inna of Detroit and Chicago In case today’s game should OTfye gjetruTt ®ime* end the formal championship series. A bunch of local fens has proposed a game here Saturday, the opposition to consist of a picked team of Detroit player*. The Cub players want Bo take the Tigers back with tgem to Chicago and pull off a combined benefit and field day on either Satur day or Sunday. Manager Jeuulngs is inclined to think that Detroit fang have had enough ball for one season, and fears that the Itocal project would not be a success. He is unwilling to commit himself, ntrwny rate, until the series is formally closed. CgICAOO. DETROIT, v. S berk aril, I. t. ffcliljlc, 1. f. Rvm. 2b. O’Learjr, a. a. Srhalte, r. Crawford, a. f.
