the game. No wonder Connie Mack
wore the long look after yesterdays
game.
Yesterday was the downfall OF
Brakeman Jack Taylor at New York.
The erstwhile pitcher failed to per-
form as he had on previous occasions
at the Polo grounds and the Giants
took wallop at the Cubs yesterday,
winning the game by a score OF IL to
I. The McGrawites started in the
game early and Taylor's main water
loo came in the first inning when the
New Workers landed on him for seven
runs.
After the terrible onslaught in the
fatal first Taylor pitched the remain
der of the game in that dont-care
fashion. which comes from a heavy
heart. Although Brakeman Jack was
touched for 10 runs he had 1t on Ames
in the strikeout column, having six
registered up in his favor to Ames
one. In the sixth inning Schultz came
to bat and the first one over con-
nected with his bat and went out, Civ
Ing him time to make the circuit of
secured five hits. among them one
home run and a two Dagger. The
batting bee started all right in the
sixth and for a time it looked like
Ames would get what Taylor did in the
first. but he managed to settle down
after three runs were chalked UP on
the score board and the last two men
were retired by inheld bingles.
After yesterdays game Captain
Chance. who has been on the hospital
list. turned the team over to Jimmy
Sheckard and left for a few days re-
spite at West Baden.
