CHICAGO. Oct 13.-The box score
OF yesterdays game gives but q scanr

The only inning in which the Cubs
secured more than one hit was their

the bingelees here came after chances
had been offered to retire the side.
George whitfield the mighty Sheckard

bit Of free transportation which the
Tiger twirler offered his foes all
through the game. Two strikes Mul-
lin got ON Schultz and then. just as
Evers started to try to steal. he turned
and whipped tho ball to Rossman.
There wasn't . chance for Eyers to
get back and he kept on going. Ross
mans throw was feet high and Evers
made second In safety. OLeary doing
well to knock the ball down after
Schaefer had leaped for Il In vain.

Chance came through with a real

Rossman threw wide to Thomas. On

O'Leary threw out Tinker and the
inning was over.
Such fielding as this would have

O'I.eary started the next period by

never wavered. He struck Pfeister

best American league boxmen.
Harry should have seen Mullin yes

OF this little statement.
Two or three years ago Mullin
caught the spit ball mania. He used
the splitter SO much that. when he
tried to 60 back TO his curve-the
necessity for SO doing becoming ap-
parent-he found that his grip OF the
ball had changed SO materially as TO
affect his usefulness in manner
which made him sad. He cut the
splitter from his repertoire until a
few months ago when he took It up
as a secondary feature OF his deliv-
cry. Yesterday he used II as An aid
to mixing the batters up. Speed and
curve were his main dependence, bu,
