Well by this time the New York fans
must realize that there is another
baseball city on the map besides little
old New York. The Cubs certainly
showed them where they get of, and
if the Giants want to figure in the
calculations later in the season they
will have to brace up a bit However,
they are head and shoulders over the
other teams in the National League
and will continue TO win games and
the result viii be that the two teams
will continue to fight it out the rest Of
the year. In desperation MeGraw
showed in six pitchers in his efforts to
stop the Cubs. but the latter showed
no partiality and treated the great
Mathewson the same as they did the
recruit Ferguson. Ten hits each, it
looked like an even proposition. but
Sheckards home run put two men over
the plate ahead OF him. Five to two
was the score.

With the fight less than a week off,
Mike Schreck and Marvin Hart are
putting on the finishing touches and
the reports say that both men will be
in the pink of condition when the open
ing gong rings. They are doping out
Schreck for a knockout, but Hart may
surprise the knowing ones. He has
been out of the game for some time
but he has always kept himself in good
condition and is a hard hitter 1t is
safe bet that the men will fight hard
at Tonapah for they stand for no fax
ing in that city.
