Giants now rest secure In the lead, with a
full game ahead OF the Cubs, while the
Bruins are only six points in front OF the
Pirates. who were humbled by the flying
Phillies once more.
The game was a hair raiser from start 10
finish. The Cubs took the lead in the first
inning. and putting two more runs over
the plate in the second inning on the
wavering Ames, they appeared 70 have a
safe lead. The Giants countered with
brace of runs in the third inning. but aHer
ArDes had opened the avenue which an
error by Fletcher widened out. they put
over two more on Otis Crandalh and
seemed 10 have the game sewed night up
and carried off.
Mordecai Brown was working with the
steady swing of machine and thwarted
the best efforts of McGraw's men 10 pene-
trate his defence, but they kept right at
him. without ever the sign Of quitting, ana
won out by sheer grit, after tieing the
score In the eighth inning by a good old
fashioned smuggling fest.

in the ninth frame, and the chief waited
for a pass Red" Murray was put in to
nun for the Redskin, and took the midway
when Otis Crandall was thrown out by
step on a neat bunt 20 the box. Smashing
the bah for his fifth consecutive hit, Josh

OF the great batters by making five hits in
as many times at bat. Snodgrass, how

ately stood IN the path OF SnOdgrass and
pushed him of his stride when Fred was

tactics awaited him nothing, however, for
Snow recovered quickly and counted the
run which lied the score.
