It was game marked by brilliant plays on ooth
sides and replete with interest from beginning to
end. The odds of fortune were against the Giants
which seemed until the last man OF the home team
was retired would result in victory for them
Nathewson was in the box for the Giants. and was
at his best all through the game For seasons
he has not won a game against the Cubs. but ne

Bowerrnan the idol Of the fans, was hit over the
eve by foul tip from his own bat, which probably
will have that eye badly disfgured by this morn

ceived was a stunning one. Bowerman stuck in
the game his eye growing darker shade as the

II did not seem that the change In pitchers was
going to do Chicago any good in the ninth inning
when Moran went In to bat for Brown for the
