for their victory yesterday were numerous.
and there we're numerous important in
dividual plays of far reaching effect us
well as fine and importan; individual
plays. but the harder hittlnt-sp; the Cubs
was the factor Of most conset Ience.
The continuation OF the Marquard-
Lavender fcud was trying day for both
feudists. Neither lasted the game out.
The jingle of base hits OF Marquard's
ritching was clear and frequent. The
Rubc was not an impressive performer.
and the cubs had him on the de-
fensive much of the time. There was
nothing he could prescribe that caused
them tn gag at the dose They liked his
medicine. As FOR Lavender he mysttfed
