DETROIT -- The Chicago Cubs often were the team to beat in the National League early in the 20th century, rather than the lovable losers they became in the decades that followed.Playing in their third straight World Series, and led by the Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance double play combination that was immortalized in verse, the Cubs defeated the Detroit Tigers in 1908 for their second championship in a row.The Cubs havent won the title since.Heres the report from The Associated Press on Oct. 14, 1908, when the Cubs won in Detroit 2-0 in Game 5 to clinch the crown. Note the absence of first names in the story, as was frequently the style of the day. Cubs pitcher Orval Overall got the win and Wild Bill Donovan the loss.-----By Associated PressDetroit, Oct. 14. -- By defeating Detroit this afternoon 2 to 0, the Chicago team of the National League retained its title as the champion 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 paid admissions were only, 62,232 for the five games, and the receipts totaled but $94,976, as compared with $101,000 last year.Of the money taken in the players of Chicago, the winning team, get $27,669, and the Detroit players $18,446. The club owners get $19,681 apiece and the national commission $9,947.SCHMIDT REGAINS HIS CUNNINGA feature of the game was Schmidts recovery of his throwing arm, which had not been working well during any previous game. Chicago was not able to steal a base on him for the first time during the series. He caught Steinfeldt trying to steal second by yards: he handled two bunts in clean fashion, retiring his men, at first, and he broke up an attempted double steal by Evers and Chance.Overall for the second time pitched a masterly game. Only three hits were made off him and one of these would have been an easy out had the ball not taken an erratic and unexpected bound as it approached Steinfeldt. He was wild at times, giving four bases on balls, but on the other hand his strike-outs numbered ten. One of the these strike-outs, however, occurred when Rossman made his third swing at a wild pitch, enabling him to reach first safely.Donovan, on the other hand, met with a vigorous reception in the first inning, when three consecutive hits sent Evers over the plate with the first run of the game. With the exception of the fifth inning, when a base on balls, and Evers double gave Chicago another run, Donovan managed to keep the hits scattered. It is probable, however, that Chicago would have run up a large score had it not been for the brilliant work of the Detroit infield. OLearys spectacular catch of Tinkers Texas leaguer far back of second base was a feature of the game.HOW THE RUNS WERE MADEEvers scored Chicagos first run. He singled to center, took second on Schultzs hit to left and raced home on Chances safe drive to center. A base on balls was primarily responsible for Chicagos second and last run. Kling walked on four wide ones, went to second on Overalls sacrifice and scored on Evers double. Detroit threatened to score but once. Coughlin was safe when his grounder took an awkward bound and he went to third, when McIntyre doubled into the left field crowd. But the needed hit was not forthcoming from either OLeary or Crawford, for the former flew out to Hoffman, who held Coughlin at third by a beautiful throw home, and Crawford struck out.---The AP Corporate Archives contributed to this report.

SAN DIEGO -- Shortly after Yoan Moncada hit a go-ahead, two-run home run for the World in the All-Star Futures Game, the Boston Red Sox farmhand found out that the Hall of Fame requested his bat to put on display.I feel really excited and really happy that they really want my bat. But its really emotional as well, Moncada said through a translator after the World rallied to beat the United States 11-3 on Sunday.He no doubt was going to share that with his parents in Cuba.I hope my parents could watch the game, he said. If they could, that would excite me a lot. They are not here with me. I miss them. If they werent able to watch the game, anyway Ill call them tonight. I cant send them a video, because you are not able to download videos with the Cuban infrastructure.The World team snapped a six-game losing streak in the showcase of top minor league talent.With Raimel Tapia of the Rockies aboard on an error, Moncada, a Cuban who plays for Double-A Portland, hit a line shot to left off Anthony Banda of the Diamondbacks for a 4-3 lead.Moncada was named Futures Game MVP. The Red Sox agreed to give Moncada a $31.5 million signing bonus -- with a $31.5 million tax imposed by baseballs labor contract -- in March 2015, the highest amount for an international amateur. Cuban authorities allowed him to leave in 2014.I am very proud and happy to be here, he said. I didnt imagine I could have such an outstanding performance, but everything went just well. I was the MVP and I dedicate this to my parents.Cubs prospect Eloy Jimenez had a big game as well. His three-run homer to left highlighted the seven-run ninth. He also doubled in the Worlds first run, in the sixth, and made a spectacular catch of Dylan Cozens long foul ball against a fence near the right-field stands to end the seventh.Jimenez jumped to make the catch and then ran into the fence, doubling over. His sunglasses flew off.I really did not think a lot before attempting that catch, he said. First I saw the fly was going wide. `Im not going to catch that, I said. But I kept running, and then I just jumped. I hit my leg, but the most important thing was to get that out.Padres farmhand Manuel Margot of the World team reached above the fence in right-center to rob Carson Kelly (Cardinals) of a home run in the sixth.I definitely rank it as the best iin my career.dddddddddddd First impressions are everything, and if the fans have a good first impression of me, hopefully I can keep it up, Margot said. Its little things like that that win ballgames. If the little things arent done, then ultimately youre not going to win the game.World manager Moises Alou, a special assistant in the Padres player development department, won a dinner bet with his U.S. counterpart, former Padres All-Star closer Trevor Hoffman.Alou said hes going to frame the lineup.When I look at that lineup in my house in a couple of years, he said, there are going to be a lot of guys playing in the All-Star Game, I guarantee you that.For the U.S. team, Chance Sisco homered and Alex Bregman finished a home run shy of the cycle.Sisco, who plays for the Baltimore Orioles Double-A affiliate Bowie, homered to left-center off Francisco Rios of the Blue Jays high Class A Dunedin to give the United States a 3-0 lead with one out in the fourth inning. Sisco has one homer in 251 at-bats with Bowie.Bregman, of Triple-A Fresno in the Houston system, tripled in the first, doubled and scored in the third and singled in the fourth. He fouled out in the seventh and struck out to end the game.Everyone was, `You got to go for it! You got to go for it! You better be swinging at everything! Bregman said. If I would have walked or if I would have struck out looking, they would have been furious.The World closed the gap to 3-2 in the sixth before Josh Naylor (Marlins) was thrown out by David Dahl (Rockies) trying to score the tying run from second on a single by Carlos Asuaje (Padres) to end the inning.World starter Alex Reyes of Triple-A Memphis (Cardinals) hit 101 mph. He allowed two hits in 1 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out four and walking one.Joe Musgrove (Astros), who pitched for Grossmont High in suburban El Cajon, threw a perfect first inning for the United States.The teams wore jerseys in the mustard and mud color scheme the Padres used in the 1980s.Hoffmans staff was heavy with ex-Padres, including Fred McGriff, Garry Templeton, Billy Bean and Mark Loretta, plus San Diegan and former big leaguer Mark Prior, the Padres minor league pitching coordinator.
