In the next inning Schultz got to

The other two batters were easy outs.
When the Philadelphians came to
bat they found new pitcher in the
box. Overall, in his three innings had
been touched up for six hits for a
total of eight bases. McIntire, the new
conner, showed excellent form. Muir
phy the first man to face him went
out on grounder to Tinker. Barry
also fell an easy victim, and Thomas
struck out. 1t was the first inning
that the local men did not get a hit.
The fifth, sixth and seventh innings
passed without anything sensational
occurring. Both Bender and McIntire
were working in championship form
and not man on either team saw
second base, In the eighth the
Americans added another run to their
score. Strunk and Lord, the first two
men up, failed to reach first, but Col
Inns was given a base on balls. Col
Inns, who is the champion base stealer
of the American league, seemed to
worry McIntire as he took long lead
off the first base. Twice the Chicago
pitcher shot the ball to Captain
Chance and on the second throw al
most had him. Then McIntire tried
again and this time he threw wild
and the ball rolled to the bleechers.
Collins was off in an instant and did
not stop until he reached third. He
scored a moment later on Bakers hard
drive to the right field wall for two
bases. Davis hit to McIntire and was
thrown out at first.
The ninth inning was the most ex-
citing of the entire game AS Bender
walked on the field the crowd, which
had started to leave called on him to
shut out the Nationals, but it was
doomed to disappointment.
Tinker, the first man up, hit to
center field for single and took Sec
ond when Strunk fumbled the ball.
King singled, and Tinker scored. With
one run IN and one man on base and
no one out the crowd became anxious,
but the cool Indian did not waver.
Beaumont was sent in to bat for Nc
Intire and the best he could do was to
send a weak grounder to Collins, who
tossed him out. Sheckard struck out
amid tremendous cheering. Schultz
drew his second base on balls and then
up came Hoffman,, always a dangerous
man at bat. With two on the bases
a home run over the fence would tie
the score, but Bender, still calm
frightened UP and the fast center
fielder sent a grounder to Baker. Fhe
latter stepped on third and Kane, who
was running for Killing, was forced out.

Brown will pitch for Chicago today
and Coombs for Philadelphia. The
score.
