CHICAGO. October 11.-Over in the stock
yards district, where gentle deeds and
swells are rare. the Cubs dragged the Sox
around their own killing beds yesterday
and slaughtered them to a finish. Score,
7 TO 1.
In the course of one night the West Side
crew switched from hitless wonders to
demon sluggers, and this change of heart
tells most of the sad story.
The losers of the first game showed the
Sox how the national pastime should be ex-
plotted. Z. Ruelbach choked the American
Leaguers off with two hits and one run.
Neither of the hits figured in the lone tally.
The big German lacked control, which is
one of his well-known eccentricities. One
pass, a wild pitch and Tinkers tumble
landed the tally in the fifth. Thinkers mis-
play was the only error. All the rest of it
was tight and strenuous. The Cubs had the
SoX SaSping.
Two pitchers went over the high jump be-
fore the hurd ing Cubs who plugged them
for ten hits. DIR. White was taken back to
the warming pan at the end of the third.

The attendance was marked down to To-
800, which was about 100 less than at Mr.
Murphys opening. Also the mercury was
marked down to 30 or less, and once or
twice it showed a bit. Rather than be ac-
cused of partisanship the weather man
treated both teams alike
Had the pneumonia hunters and chilblain
seekers wished it, Mr.. Comiskey could have

ever malady they preferred. He had both

tier boxes, and there was room at the back
of the stand and bleachers where the
northwest wind was keen enough to cut
hair.
