Old Iron Man" McGinnity proved the
right card where the star Mathewson
failed, and big Overall when called
upon. went right UP IN the air. So the
second contest went down in history
as a walkover for the Giants and to-
day will see the deciding game of
the series. The two teams are practi-
cally an even proposition and the game
gets down to the work OF the slab men
and the pinch hits that come into the
game. IN former years the Cubs took
to McGinnity's benders with ease, but
yesterday the old man was very eff
fective and allowed the Cubs only sew
en- hits Joe Tinker hit the ball as
he did the day before, getting three
safe ones including a three base at
fair Bowerman took Bresnahan's place
and played a fine game, handing out
death to every man that tried to steal
and getting a safe hit. overall went
up in the air in the fifth. and I'VE
runs were scored when he hit man,
passed a man and four singles did the
rest. Reulbach went i'm and the Giants
got one more run. but Ed held them
today against Pfeister or Lundgren,
but MathewsA. who is still sore over
his defeat is begging for the chance
Johnny Summers, the English light
weight who camped on Battling Nell
sons trail for so long, showed that he
is no dead one, when in the ring with
Tommy Murphy at Philadelphia last
night he went six rounds even, and
surprised the talent with his powers.
In the first two rounds he put it all
over the clever Harlem lad, knocking
him down four times. Murphy pulled
himself together, however. and as
Summers tried in the last few rounds
he showed that he was a gluten for
punishment and went after the English
boy. He waded in and his stomach
punches evened up matters for him.

while they watched the gentle spring

daunted by the results and say they
will do things to the Sox. Chesbro
may pitch the first game if he is right
and DIR. White will oppose him.

club, Jimmy Gardner and Dickerman
were not in on the fake, but it was
father and son.
