Long Hits.
TWO CREDITED TO SCHULTZ
Louis Drucke Pitches Good Ball,
but Chicago Noses
Out a Victory.

Chicago. Aug 26.-Louis Drucke allowed
the Chicago Cubs just five hits in the sec
ond game of the series with the Giants this
afternoon, but the Cubs won by a score OF
TO / Three of the hits We're wofully
long ones, being home runs in fact, and
answered for all the scoring done by the
home nine. Schultz was credited with two
of them and Tinker with one,
Mordecai Brown had the Giants standing
on their heads for most of the game. Al
though he allowed seven hits. they were
scattered so well that they were without
effect. Had not Johnny Evers made a bad
error. which let Brdweil take second In
the seventh inning. the visitors would have
been shut out. Brown struck out ten bats
men ard was invincible with men on the
bases. OF the hits which he allowed
Nerkle and Meyers got three apiece.
Drucke pitched sterling game and was
a puzzle to a majority of the home team
But he was unable TO cope with Schultes
propensity TO raise high ffoaters into the
corner of the right field bleachers The
Giants supported Drucke in whirlwind
fashion, playing errorless ball. but it was
beyond them TO get enough runs over the
plate to ClinCh the game and make the
Texans clever work count for something.
Three times Josh Devore failed as q
pinch hitter when hit meant probable
victory Meyers and Merkle, working a
tandem combination. thrice pried open the
Chicago defence, only TO have their efforts
go for naught. Once the Chief got so des-
perate that he stole second on Johnny
Killing. It was in the third inning that the
TWO players made their first opening
haa Ol1r 81 in fold IN
ing off, while Meyers singled over Thinkers
head In attempting to rccrific Drucke
-bunted . foul to Archer. Devore. upon
whom the responsibility lay to bring the
men home, struck out, while Doyle fouled
out To Zimmerman.
In the fifth inning, after Devlin had
struck out, Merllle got an inf1eld hit ana
Meyers singled TO centre, sending Fred 10
third. Drucke struck out and Meyers stole
second. .Devore retired the side by striking
out. From non partisan point of view
Mordecai Brown did some pitching in this
frame. incidentally tanning the side. In
the seventh inning Bridweu took two bases
on q tumble and a wild throw by Evers.
Zimmerman threw out Devlin and Bridwell
went to third. MerkIe raped a single to
centre left field. scoring Bridwen, while
to third Drucke struck out again, how
ever. and Devore, while he managed 10
connect with the ball this time, raped it
into Sheckard's hands
After Zimmerman had struck out in the
fifth inning Schultz made his first home
run. popping the ball into the right field
bleachers. After the Giants had tied the
score in the seventh Schultz started off III
the eighth by making another home run to
the same spot Tinker sent hot one over
Devore's head which ordinarily would
have been good for only three bases, but
DevIin became confused when he caught
the ball on the throw in. He tagged Stein
feldt, who was coaching on third and
standing near by and did not realize his
mistake in time to catch Tinker at the
plate. Riger refused TO allow Interior
ence from SteinfeIdt and the run counted.
NfcCraw was sent 10 the clubhouse for dis
puting the decision.
The score follows:
