1t was said before they went that Hickman
would don a Chicago uniform In a week
or so.
The two-game attraction drew out a
numerous array Of fans though not as
large herd as had been expected. Dark
clouds scared the fans away, and 1t rained
occasionally during the battles. Cantillon
did not appear in uniform but sat In citi-
zens' regalia on the bench. while his men
played good ball unaided by his coaching.
Although Washington did no hitting to
speak Of Falkenberg deserved to win the
first game. He was hit much harder than
Smith. and gave seven bases on balls. yet
he held his foes well at critical times
that not run would have scored had Mil
and Shipke escaped a tumble each after
two out.
Smith pitched splendidly. but would have
lost To o. had the fielding been unspotted.
