Frank Chances Chicago Cubs just ex-
actly reversed the order of things as
they occurred Thursday and easily defeat
cd the Baron team yesterday by score
of to l. Molesworth's men did not play
the same kind of ball yesterday as they
did against the Cubs Thursday and, ex-
cepting the ninth inning. the locals were
never in the running after the Chicago
team took the lead in the fifth inning.
Although the game was slow at GER
tain stages it was by no means lacking
In features. MeGilvrays catch of H.
Smiths long fly down the right foul line
was one of the most magnificent plays
ever executed at West End. Smith hit
singing line drive over Gygli's head. and
after long run McGilvray managed to
get one hand ON It. The Baron right
fielder Juggled the ball little, but finally
captured it and made the feature play
If the game.
The throwing OF Elliott. the Baron
backstop, was of the daring kind that is
often necessary IN a pinch, and the
beauty of 1t all was that the stocky lit
tie catcher, with one exception, was per-
! feet in hiE aim. Repeatedly the Chicago
players tried to steal second base but
Elliott always nailed them at the key
stone sack with a perfect throw.
Tony Smith did more fine work at short
| for the Cub team yesterday. Although
Tony struck out twice, he hit safely
twice. one hit being a two-bagger. and
he drew one pass. He played a fast and
a perfect game at short.
The pitchers were al, wild. final

Cubs. This wlldness took away much
Of the snap OF the game and detracted

would have otherwise been notable.
Lower started out well for the Barons
and had he remained in the box through
out the game the Cubs majority would
no doubt have been much smaller, If
they could have won at ALL The Western
Lacquer was doing fine work when Will
liams relieved him In the fifth inning.
When Williams stepped into the box he
Immediately Jumped into his aeroplane
and did some fine stunts in the way of
aviation but he never effected a good
landing. The Cubs made all four of their
runs off of this Kansan hitting him hard
and opportunity. He was wild, unusu-
ally Wild, and on two occasions and in
rapid succession threw the ball entire
" out of Elliotts reach. Systematically
striking out two men in succession.
| The game was considerably marred by
the kicking on the part of the Chicago
players. While Umpire Chestnut, who
handled the indicator during the early
part of the game. was off on several of
ilis decisions the Cub players formed a
habit of kicking which they never over
came. II was commendable for Mr..
Chestnut that he ruled with a firm hand
