from errors the cubs count would have
been small indeed; On the other hand
the cubs folded thru the. terrible nine
innings without mistake, but their

with much credit to himself.
1t was one of the slowest games Of
the season. Two hours and forty min

The cubs came right back and on two
singles, a sacrifice, a batter hit and two
errors by 5Isbell, chased three tallies
across the plate.
The score stood this way until the
third when the sox evened up the count.
Isbell started it off with. his second

to pitch and started by hitting Dono-
