Notes Of the Game.

The crowd was the biggest and the most
maniacal of the series Thousands were
turned away and sat in the grass outside,
getting the story from those on top of the
bleachers. These outsiders yelled as loudly
as the lucky ones inside the gates.
The Sox played miserable ball in the field,
with hardly a redeeming feature, aside
from a couple of stops by Donohue and
fine catch by Sullivan. 1t was wonder
that they won, but they were certainly
there with the biffsticks.
Isbell's work was gigantic. Four two
baggers, and every one of them burning
drives that would have gone to the end OF
the field had there been no crowd in the
way. 49, ~s-..-. ...=...-.
After this the base ball reporters will
know more about crowds and their bulk.
Nobody else could have squeezed into the
park. and yet the attendance, passes and
employees. coppers and all, was not over
5000. That kills off the $4,000 and 10000
estimates SO common In the past.
Overall would have won the game had
he worked from the start. He was getting
better every minute as the game went on.
Walsh was putting his whole soul into
the fight, and was wearing out his energy
and done for when Jones took him out and
yet he didn't want to go.
Sheckard tried to go all the way from first
to third on n short grounder In the eighth.
Donohue's throw beat him. Davis had the
ball and sprang in front of him. Sheckard
could not stop and crashed into Davis,
sending him flying, but the old shortstop
held the ball.
The crowd yelled "Tannehilr' when Davis
made an error, but We're cheering for the
old warrior before the battle ended.
Clarence Bradley, well-known Chicago
newspaper man, was hit in the mouth by a
foul tip and badly injured, but refused to
leave the field. He Spat out teeth and blood
and sat there till the close.
Isbell crashed into Donohue when both
were going after fly. The ball got away
and rolled into the crowd for two Dagger.
Sundays game will be played on South
Side Park, and ComiSkey feels sure of a
victory. Up to today the white uniformed
team had lost every game, and the Cubs
shed the white suits to break the hoodo,
coming out in gray. No use, the other
hoodo was stronger, that neither team can
win a game on its own ground.
There was some kicking, but as a rule
the boys took the umpiring amiably and
acted like Sunday school children.
The Americans won in spite Of five ghast-
ly errors, which were accountable for near
ly AL the runs made by the Nationals. The
Nationals lost because they could not hit
Walsh's spit BALI delivery. The Ameri-
cans felded like amateurs, and the Ma
tIonals, fielding perfectly, batted very much
in the negative. Time after time when hit
meant runs the batters with the impressive
averages failed to live up to their reputa-
lions.
The day was warm-the first real base
ball weather of the series. Nearly % COO
people wormed their way into the National
League grounds, and at l 40 o'clock, fifty
minutes before the time set for play to be-
gin the selling of tickets ceased. The noise
makers were out in full force, and the sky
was full of kites as usual recommending
that votes be cast in various directions at
the coming erection.
