btnglers from the Other size OF tne
Rockies succumbed before the on
slaughts of the Looloo legions. Until
the seventh inning yesterday afternoon
II was a baseball game but then 1t re-
solved itself into an indefnable some
thing which hesitated between cricket
match and an exhibition of the national
pastme. The Seraphs wore them
selves out chasing one another across
the final patch. And the way the men
of Morley leaned up against the offer
ings of young Mr. Grothe, say, it was
a blooming shame. Until the seventh
canto the lines scanned most beauti-
fully for the proteges of Frank Selee.
But their happiness and cofnplacency
was not destined to long duration
The productions of young Mr. Grothe's
strong right arm failed in their poten-
cy when the Seraphic ntmen faced
him in the seventh period and there
was most pitiful break in the har-
mony and peace of mind of the gentle
men gathered on the visitors bench.
1t was an awful shock for the nerv-
Gus system of the Cubs-that seventh.
Fate was kind to the big leaguers for
six innings. The rotound acrobat,
Oscar Jones, slipped the twsters over
for the men of Morley for the first
three innings, but the Chicago Hopes
couldn't cultivate any great affections
for his productions. Oscars delivery
was found for two scattered hits dur
ing his occupancy of the box and
Grothe was connected with for the
same number. Rusty" Hall went to
the mound in the fourth and fingered
succeeded by Del Mason who pitched
the remainder of the game for the
Seraphs.
Saves Them From Shutout
1t was in the fifth that the Nationals
from Chicago town worked their lone
man around the sacks. AL Pennell
was the first man to manipulate the
stick and passed away on short high
one to Tim Flood.
Joey Tinker then possessed himself
of his trusty stick and ambled to the
plate with threatening mein. Joseph
let a few settle in Henie Spies init,
and then countered with reaching hay
maker that lifted the leather to the
center hedge and scurried about the
tags for a siesta on the third patch,
and contemplated the possibility of
committing larceny upon the terminal
rubber. Little Johnny Evers picked
out straight and passed it over to
Curtis Bernard, and Tinker completed
his journey on the throw in.
And that is how the omnivor-
GUS and omnipotent gentlemen from
Chicago escaped the obliterating white
wash brush in the hands of Captain
Dillon and professional associates.
Five for Los Angeles
And the Seraphs did it this wise in
that triumphant seventh Kitty Bra
shear was the first man to reach for
the ball and he was pensioned on an
easy rap to Tinker. And then Dillon
went down on a pass to Bill Mitchell.
who appeared on the Chicago's first
angle in the absence of Frank Chance.
This looked extremely satisfactory.
viewed in Chicago perspective, two
men down and no one on the circuit.
Indeed, yes. They prepared to do GER
tain things to Cravath who was the
next Seraph to WELD the stick.
Cravath waited for four bad ones and
meandered down to first. But he was
ambitious, and he up and scurried
for the second station. Johnny King
was behind the tin for the Cubs and
unbent for a slam down to Evers, Who
was awaiting Mr.. Cravath on the
aforesaid second cushion. But Evers
failed to complete the circuit with the
horsehide and it buzzed out to amid
ship territory, Gravy continuing his
jaunt to Doc Caseys corner. This was
disturbing TO the Chicago artists, but
not necessarily fatal. They centered
their attention upon Hal Chase and
glared fearfully, did the big leaguers.
The infant wonder jammed a fast
drive down to Casey. The lightweight
medico evidently had a kink in his
wing, for he slammed the ball verst
or so over Mitchell, and Cravath am
bled to the bench, Chase preparing for
future activity on the second bag. And
then Ross walked.
This was "manlfestly unfair" with
two outs. Chicago thought compro-
mise would be about right, considering
that it was a midsummer day and
other things.
Seraphs Use stick
Spies smote the ball along the left
foul line to Doc Casey and that worthy
motloned solemn protest. Doc said it
was a foul. Bilium Setey said
no" and While they were
talking thusly Hal Chase crossed the
PAN Casey and companions were an
noyed and rightly so. This was Nor
ley's round.
II was astounding that such things
could happen to National leaguers
with two down-something to weep
over. Del Mason, acting for Hall,
