The Cubs felded superbly at all stages,
but could not acquire enough of the long
hits to pull them through successfully.

day. putting four wallops into the eager
people, each good for two whole bases.
on a clear field they would all have been
three-baggers.
The attendance was much the biggest yet,
~ 257 people, representing s23,s34 in
sheckels, came through the gates, ana
thousands were turned away long before
playing time. The game itself was also
the longest of the series and ran till dark
ness although they started the doings at
the early hour of $50
The Sox opened early on the handsome
and estimable Mr.. Reulbach. but met with
a bunch of hard, hard luck even whie
scoring an Introductory run. When team

a moment later came most horrible and
hideous crash. Hoffman singled, Sheckard
sacrificed and Schulte's bounder was an
inch too high for Robe, who is short
man. Chance was hit on the fngers-a
mean rap-and Steinfedt whacked to
Davis. An easy double play was in sight
but Isbell hurled the thing askew after
receiving it from Davis. wherefore two men
hustled in. Tinker hunted and Walsh made
horrific hurl, letting Steinfeldt home.

whirl Of banners.

Both teams strove strenuously but run

a double steal and Davis slid home on a
high throw to the plate. The score was
even up, and the noise of the populace was
something like Niagara, only more SO.
In the fourth came the big fireworks.
Wash began with a pass and Hahn forced
him. Jones lifted lucky pop fly that fell
safe. Bingo went Isbelis third two-bagger.
Whango went Davis second two-bagger.
Exit Mr.. Phester. and in with the large
Orval Overall. formerly the hero In blue

and Donohue calmly acquired another of
those fashionable and Justly celebrated
twO-ba ggers. Four runs In, and the crowd
from the South Side noiser than seven
boiler mills while the Cub bunch walled
and moaned. AT this juncture Schultz
caught a seeming hit from Dougherty, fired
il home and got Robe sliding In. Seven TO
three and the fled blur of flags and horns
and squalls. Three pitchers of the Cub
stamp had already received their trim
mIngs.
In the Cubs half Robe made one of those
quaint throws into the crowd and Evers
walked. Walsh put on vast speed and
famed the battery. A moment later spit
ball broke away and Tinker scored. Hon-
man walked and SheCkard, who had been
an utterly useless crab all through the Sc
ries struck out as usual in pitlful fashion.
One run, though, and the Cub crowd bright
ened up little.
Overall settled In the fifth and stopped
the exultant Sox. In the Cubs half Suld-
van made a grand catch off Frank Schultz
Chance put up an easy fly, Isbell and Dono-
