Chicago, Oct 9-The Cubs sank their
claws into the tough hides Of the Tigers
three times. while the feline fighters were
able 10 innict but one wound on the
Cubs.
After yesterdays tie. the Chicagos and
the DetrOits were keyed up to the high

to renew the battle. The batting and
fielding were about equal to-day. but the
ChiCagOs. as yesterday. were faster on
the bases. this being. in a large part,

gun to fight"
He'd better begin pretty soon.' is the
Chicago response.
There was more than little sharp and
slashing fielding in to-days game. in
which Crawford, O'Leary, Schultz, and
Chance were prominent. 1t was des-
perate struggle every minute. Chance
kicked on one decision, and Jennings
kicked on another until he was sent TO
the bench by Umpire Sheridan.
Pfeister the Steadier.
Jack Pfeister opposed George Mullin
in the box, and the left-handeT out
pitched the big Detroiter. He was stead
ier than Mullin, who was struck on the
head by a bali thrown by Payne in the
first inning. and groggy for a couple of
minutes. He came back and pitched the
game through, though the rap may have
affected his work
Each side scored once in the second in
ming. For Detroit, Rossman. who was a
devoming demon with the stick. sent d
hit churning to left, which landed him
on third base Coughlin could not con-
meet. but Payne spanked the globule for
a single and fetched Rossman to the
plate. Steinfeldt made "a good play on
OLeary's foul, and MulIin skied TO
Slagle.
The Chicagos also opened the second
with a hit. Johnny King was the lad
who produced it. Evers shot a single
past O'Leary, and SchuIte's spinner to
the same spot filled the bases. The aC-
companying racket from the crowd dis
concerted Mullin, who passed the next
batter and forced Killing to the plate
Then Mullin steadied and got out of a
tight fix by striking out Pfeister and
Slagle. after which meritOrious feat
Schaefer threw out Sheckard.
Two Runs for Chicago.
Both sides had men on bases in the
third, but the plate was unsulHed. Fine
work by the Chicago outfield prevented
scoring in the first half of the fourth.
while in the second half the things that
transpired spelled defeat for the Detroits
and won the day for the Cubs Tinker
