Three Hits and CHICAGO Wins.

Chicago Aug. 20-The Cubs batted the
curves of Cy Barger all around the lot to-
day and won from the Superbas by
score of II to 8. The victory gave the Cubs
a substantial lead in the race for the pen
nant, as both the Pirates and the Giants
lost their games. Barger was allowed to
hold down the mound for six innings, and
Chicago made fourteen hits and ten runs
off the Brooklyn pitcher before he was
finally taken out of the box. Manager
Dahlen substituted Crabble, the new Su-
perba twirler, and Miller replaced Bergen
as catcher.
On the other hand, Reulbach, who served
up the benders for the Cubs, pitched one
of the best games in his career, allowing
only three hits to the visitors. Brooklyn
started well by making two runs, which
were scored on two passes, a single and
sacrifice fly. Chicago, however, started
little better by piling up five runs through
four hits and misplay.
