strike.
While this was going on Overall re-
tired from the game and when the Wis
itors went to bat in the extra innings
they had to face Reulbachs speedy de-
livery in the growing darkness. The
tall pitcher was in rare form, having
good control, and against his curves
and shoots such batsmen as Schaeter,
Crawford and Cobb were helpless.
Overall VisibIy Nervous.
Overall was visibly nervous when
Jones, the first batsman, faced him,
and failed to get any one OF the flrst
four balls pitched over the late. The
Detroit contingent had it's first chance
to cheer as their left fielder trotted to
first base Schaefer tried to sacrifice
but his bunt was too fast and Stein
feldt, by a quick throw, forced Jones
at second. Crawford drove long fly
to extreme deep center, but Slagle was
waiting for the ball. Then Schaefer
tried out Kings throwing arm and
found it good, being an easy out,
King to Tinker.
In Chicagos half Sheckard brought
cheers from the Chicago partisans by
hitting sharply to left. He stole sec
ond and went to third on the first of 4
series of bad throws by Catcher
Schmidt. Capt. Chance struck out,
however, and Steinfeldt could not drive
the ball past Donovan.
Detroit did nothing in the second,
but Chicago threatened again. Killing re-
ceived base on balls to start, was
sacrificed to second and went to third
on an out, where he stood while Think
er registered the first of three strike
outs.
Detroit took it's turn at looking dan
gerous in the next session, Schmidt
hitting cleanly to left and going 20

hit. Donovan had struckout mean

Cubs Score the First Run.
Chicago scored the first run of the
contest in the next inning. Chance
drew a base on balls Steinfeldt sacri-
feed prettily, and Killing came for
ward with short fly to left field,
which Jones could not reach. Chance
had turned third as the ball struck the
ground and tore for home. He had to
slide to beat the throw, but accom-
plished the trick, and then Schmidt re-
layed the ball to Schaefer, retiring
King, who had tried to take an extra
base on the throw to the plate. Evers
followed with another hit and stole
second, but Donovan frightened up and
struck out Schultz.
