Another Pitcher Goes to the
Famous Well Just Once
Too Often.
BRUINS FAIL TO SCORE
Great Hunter of Bears Allows
Only Three Hits, and Thirty
Thousand Shouting
Fans" Applaud.

There was once pitcher that went too
often TO the well, and the results which
attended it's tourney have been chronicled
FAR and wide. But this disaster wasn't a
circumstance 20 what happened the we'll
beloved (by some) "Lurid" Lew Richie
when he bucked up against the adsmantine
Tcsreau at the Polo Grounds yesterday
afternoon. Thirty thousand fans were
n at the death. and great was the Joy
manifested when the Giants emerged vic
tors by q score Of TO oyer the pros
trate forms of the Chicago Cubs.
Before proceeding 10 the case of Richie
which is totally another story, let IL be
stated here that Tesreau, the mighty
hunter Of the Ozark Hills, second only TO
the famous Mudjekeewis, knows the habits
o. the bear from long association. Why,
therefore, should he tremble before a lit
ter of fangless Cubs? Why, indeed? And
Just TO prove his oft-repeated assertion
thas bears are among the easiest animals

he took these same Cubs as an object les
son and made them hop. skip and jump at
his word Never before in recent memory
have these ferocious beasts seemed quite
so we'll behaved "a they were yesterday,
and IL they continue along this line they
will actually coms TO be popular here
abouts.
To be brief, Tesreau allotted the visit
ors just three hits as their share Of the
batting spells, and he didn't care a rap
who got them. They really should have

end q lucky two-base hit resulted from
his Annette Kellermann The Cubs actual
~ got one runner as far as third base.
That was in the ninth inning, which
Tinker opened with a single. Tesreau at
the time devoted all his attention TO re-
firing Zimmerman and Saier, and Tinker
was allowed TO steal second and third
unmolested. Two others reached second
during the game, but expired on the
sacks.
Richie. the great jinx, tried 10 weave
the magic spell so potent Of yore against
the Giants, but he lost the charm. Hyp-
notism, incantations and cabalistic signs
were ali resorted 10 without avail The
champions were out TO get him, aided
and abetted by the huge throng, and II
was surprising what an easy task Al
turned out 10 be. The Cubs were so DO
cilc that il seemed almost shame 10
take the game away from them McGraW
gave orders TO wait "Lurid" Lew out
IN the first part OF the game, and three
passes in the first inning, with a
couple of outs. netted a run. Then four
smart hits were punched with base on
balls in the sixth inning for four runs.
That was all.
Wilson and Herzog were the men VINO

and a double but IL was two-base drive

and q majority OF these were turned to
good account. Richie handed out four
passes and was able 10 strike out only

balls and famed only three men, but he
was as tight as q deacon with hits, as
stated before.
The defence Of the New York team was
perfect all tho way. not an error marrinS

chances were easy ones but Tesreau ana
