THE DIAMOND.
DOWN WENT THE GIANTS
The Cubs Took Their Measure in Just Orc Fatal Inning
 Yesterday.

New York, Oct 9.--After the nrst inning of the New York-Chicago game yesterday the Cubs outplayed the Giants. Mathewsons start was fully up to the great pitchers best. He struck out Jimmy Sheckard with ease. Evers hit to Herzog and died at first and then Schulte stood at the rubber while Umpire Johnstone call ed him out on strikes.
 While the opening of the Giants first inning put the fans in hilarious mood, its finish put a damper on the Giants and the crowd that nobody quite recovered from during the pro ceedings. Jack Pfeister, who has been in this city under cover for three days, began the box work for the Cubs. From the start he was as wild as livery stable cat. The first ball pitched hit Penney on the arm. Her zog, good waiter, was handed a pass. With two on the bases and mo- body out the immense crowd howled like mad, led by Harry Payne Whit ney in one of the boxes. Before Bres- nahan went to bat he consulted with Manager McGraw. The result was that Roger tried to work Pfeister for base on balls. Instead he struck out. King dropped the third scfike, many thought Intentionally, looking for either Penney or Herzog to bite and leave his base. Under the rules Bresnahan was out, but he started for first base. When Herzog saw Roger coming he left the bag and
 moved toward second. Kling saw his opening and whipped the ball to Chance, who tagged Herzog. Double play and the cheering of the fans died to whisper. Mike Donlin followed
 with smash down the righx field line for two bases, scoring Penney.
 The Cubs, led by Chance, objected, claiming that Donlin's hit was foul. Here Manager Chance ordered Pfeis- ter to the bench. The southpaw looked much relieved, although he gave Chance an argument.
 The manager of the Cubs sent one of his men to where three of his pitchers were warming up. In min
 ute the familiar figure of Mordecai
 Brown was seen approaching the scene of action. Again the feelings of the fans were jared. "Matty" against Brown, his hoodoo since 1905.
 The three fingered wonder got to
 work at once. He sawed the ball over for Devlin and the umpire call- ed Arthur out on strikes. Arthur was indignant and said so to Johnstone. l It was the only Kick the Giants made
 during the game.
 Chance opened the second inning with single. A minute later Mat. lty" caught Chance off his balance and
 Penney got the put out. Once more the Chicago manager kicked hard and long. The joy of the fans was bound
 less when Steinfeldt and Howard were struck out.
 l Right after that came the terrible third. Joe Tinker, who did more
 damage to the Giants prospects dur | ing the season just closed than any other individual player, was right
 on his old job. He hit the ball high up and far away over Seymour's head. "Si" misjudged the flying sphere and when he finally got his bearings the ball was at the edge of the crowd and Tinker resting on third. A minute
 later King lined to center and Tin ker tied the score.
 Brown sent his catcher along with a sacrifice. Sheckard flied to center.
 Little Johnny Evers, the cause of all
 the trouble since September 23, got a
 base on balls. Schulte plunked one to the crowd in right for two bases, scoring Kling, Chance doubled to the
 other side of the lot, scoring Evers
 and Schulte. Score, Chicago 4, New
 York 1, amid the deepest sort of gloom. With the hope of the fans grad ually sinking the seventh inning roll ed around Everybody arose and root ed hard. Devlin singled and Bresna-
 han also hit safely. Brown, know ing that Bridwell was pinch hitter,
 purposely walked him and filled the
 bases with none out, a daring thing to do. but 1t showed the long head of
 the three fingered one. Here Me
 Graw sent Larry Doyle to bat for
 Mathewson. Larry's best was pop | fly to King. Devlin tallied on Ten ney's fly to Schulte. Herzog shot
 grounder to Terrible Tinker. His
 momentary juggle brought the fans
 to their feet with yells. Herzog hit the dirt twenty feet from the base.
 but Tinkers' throw beat his slide by
 foot.
 l It was the Giants last chance. They
 were easily retired in the eighth in-
 ming and easier still in the last. The score:
