BABIES IN HANDS
OF CHICAGO CUBS
Cincinnati Goes to Slaughter
Without a Murmur-Reds
Use Three Pitchers, But
Can't Hold Champions.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CINCINNATI Ohio, October st
wasn't base ball game. it was a slaugh-
ter. this meeting of the Reds and the
Cubs this afternoon. The Cubs played
rings all around the Reds and scored so
many runs in the first three innings that
it made the score keepers dizzy.
Get the hook" yelled the fans from
the stands, and Manager CAMEL was
obliged to use that well known theatrical
prop on both Dubuc and Mclean at the
end of the very first inning. 1t was the
first time that bacAstop had been
yanked out of a game here, but Mclean
let SO many get by him that Camel would
have courted bodily harm by leaving him
behind the bat. AS soon as the Cubs saw
that the PhillieS were leading the Giants
they began to get enthusiastically busy.
and before the enthusiasm had worn off
they had accumulated many four
teen runs in three innings off the same
number of safe hits. After that the Reds
played a little better ball and mana ged
to keep even with their opponents by
scoring one for every additional one the
Cubs brought across.
Sheckard Starts Trouble.
Sheckard opened the slaughter in the
first inning with a single and moved
moving up with Sheckard on Schulte's
sacrifice. Chances double against the left
field fence scored both Chance moved
up on passed ball and scored on How
ards double to left :. man singled to
center scoring Howard. Tinker walked
and pulled off a double steal with Hof-
man. Circus Solly scored on a passed
ball the crowd yelling for Camel to use
something fierce. Kings single scored
Tinker. Killing then stole second. Reul-
bach famed Sheckard. batting for the
second time walked. Evers beat out a
slow one to Dubuc. Schultz ended the
agony by tanning.
Keep Up Swatfest.
In the second Campbell and Schlei
succeeded Dubuc and Mclean on the fir
ing line. The Cubs began taking liber-
ties with Campbell right on the jump.
Chance started by smashing into the
left-field seats for homer. Howard fol-
lowed with single and Holman with a
double. Thinkers long fly to Paskert
scored Howard, Hoffman going over a
moment later on Kings double to CEN
ter Lobert gave Reulbach a life on a
tumble. then Sheckard mercifully famed.
Reulbach was caught off first and run
down, King scoring during the opera
ton.
This already made 1t ten runs, but the
Cubs kept up their swatting in the third
and annexed four more. Evers started
with a pass. Schultz hit for a base and
moved up with Evers on Chances sacri-
flee. Howard popped to Lobert. A pass
to Holman clogged the sacks. Then
Tinker tore off triple to right. send
ing three runs scampering home. King
single sent Tinker home. Reulbach also
hit safely. after which Sheckard popped
to Mowrey for the third out.
O'Toole went to the rubber for the Reds
in the fourth and thenceforth the game
was little more on the sane order.
CANCELS crew pinched off a couple of hits
in succession off Reulbach's delivery.
The Reds managed to crowd two pieces
of foolish work into the fifth. First
Mowrey allowed himself to be nailed by
overrunning second on Mitchell's tap after
singing himself. Then Mitchell kept on
travelling on Schlei's pop TO Tinker aud
was doubled off first.
Hard luck said Manager Camel
after the farce was over. but there were
