almost as big as the throng within.
A remarkable feature of this series is the
utter failure of several good batters. and
the fact that most Of the batters who re-
ceived passes were poor hitters.
His good work in these games probably
will gain Arthur Hoffman a regular berth
as the Cubs center fielder next season. His
hitting and fielding have been features OF
nearly every game.

Schultz went back to the edge of the crowd
and made q jump for 1t, but missed. He
ran In and claimed that policeman nae

umpires could not change their ruling. how.

of the luck of such games.
Old Cap Arson broke into the limelight by
taking a seat on the bench with the Ameri-
can League players In the fifth inning. He
was spotted few minutes later by SIX
O'Loughlin. who chased him back into the
crowd.
One Of Hoffman's severa! good catches
robbed Donohue Of an extra base hit in the
fourth and cut Off a run. Jiggs congratu-
lated Hoffman. for the Six were six runs
ahead at the time.
Lee Tannehilrs father sat on the bench
with the extra White Sox players until he
was moved by O'Loughlin.

caught him. too. Ten thousand wildly ex-
cited fans swarmed all over the field In
about ten seconds and remained to cheer
in front of the stand until driven out by the
police an hour after the game.
Cub rooters gathered by the thousand N

the losers. Murphy rose and addressed the
crowd gracefully admitting defeat.

After It was too late Chance and Murphy

the National League.
Hahn's broken nose seemed to help him
bat. He had done almost no hitting up to

Chance and his mon were heartbroken.

persons there. Every usher and every po-

ON Thursday and had to quit on Saturday.
The Cub pitchers had even harder and more
