was too wise, and chung to first. Chance
then hit the Chiefs curve easily at
Baker, who made a fast, true throw to
Collins at second, forcing Holman. who
interfered with Eddie, and prevented
him from making a throw to first to
get chance. Rigler called both men
out.
Tie Second Inning.
In the Mack second inning. Baker,
the first man up. hit the first ball pitch
led for a hard single over second. Davis
thought Cole was wild when he gave
him two bad balls to begin with, and
decided to wait him out for a pass. In
stead OF sacrificing. But Cole put two
square over the plate for strikes, and
hooked up a beautiful curve which
Harry AIMED on. Murphy hit to deep
right to Schultz. Baker holding first.

and one strike OF him in the Cubs
second. hit to Murphy In right. Stein
Ieldt hit q slow ball or the ground
to Baker. who came way In, and made
a fine pfck-up and quick snap throw.
which went low and wide to Davis, and
Harry stretched way out and dug the
ball out OF the dirt for q dandy pick
up and second out. Tinker worked
sender for a base on balls. the Chief
being unable to get more than one
over. Joe Immediately tried to pilfer
second. and Thomas made a low throw.
Collins made a clever pickup, how
ever. and jumped to Tinker. tagging
him as he slid in.
Third Inning.
Barry. with two balls and one strike
on him in the Mack third, fouled a.
bad one to the Athletics bench. Steiny
tried hard for the catch. Then Barry !
fouled off a terrific drive into left.
Cole and Barry entered into a battle
OF wits. Jack fouling of six balls in !
succession. Then. with three and two
on him. he hit to Steinfeldt. and was
out at first. Coles control was very
good.
Thomas was out on an easy tap.
Cole to Chance. Bender walked with
out offering at a pitch. Cole getting
only one strike over. Strunk then hit
a terrific liner over Tinker's head, the
ball going between right and centre
for three bags. a clean triple. which
bounded against the Temporary barrier
and back into Hofman's hands. Amos
made third easily. but overslid, and
steiny tagged him out. On this play
Bende scored by several yards ahead
OF Strunk' out, but Needham led byi|
the entire Cub team. made a senseless
Kick to Umpire Connolly. It was easily
seen that Bender scored before
Strunk's out by every one who was
watching especially for that feature.
Archer struck out, to begin the Cubs
third. and there Bender got going and
was showing good control, and his fast
one. with that awful jump. was doing
1.-The work. Cole also famed. Cole at
tempted TO bunt onsthe second strike,
and his awful try caused the chief to-
give him the laugh. Sheckard, with
Ethrec balls and one strike on him, hits
to Strunk for anaout. Beginning with
the last time at bat. from the first
game. where he had struck out, Sheck-
ard had madeia wonderful record by
reaching first safely ten straight times.

guessing match ensued between Archer
and Eddie. the Mack 1nfielder fooltnrE

Baker then made beautiful line drival
which bounded against the temporary
seats tnsthe left centre, and Hoffman
showed his quick brain work. on the
sarom from the barrier Hofman#couldii

would have allowed Collins to reach

third easily: When Hoffman pulled
