by Loose Playing.

swift. but a flying start is often worth a
whole heap Of endurance. This was de-
mOnstrated clearly for the benefit of the
Chicago Cubs by the Brooklyn Superbas
at Ebbets Field yesterday. when the tribe
of Dahlen overcame the visiting host m
the final game OF the series by a score OF
7 TO s.
Brooklyn thus jumped To second place
| i'm the National League race, only y
points behind the league leading Phllics.
Should the Philles lose this afternoon and
the Superbas win. the latter will move
into first place for the first time since
1909. when Hughie Jennings. Sheckard'
Fielder Jones and other men who made
Brooklyn famous thirteen years ago were
running rampant.
The Superbas got away 10 a flying start
yesterday and piled up a lead Of four
runs, which practically gave them mort
gaze on the game 1t was fortunate for
them that runs were easy in the begin
ming. for later the market dropped with
a bang, and several times danger threat
ened.
II was a bad day for pitchers taken all
in all. and before the last man was re-
tired five had shown their wares. Pierce
started for Chicago. but he was lacked
out Of the box ere the first inning closed.
lie had nothing on the ball and the
Superbas pushed four men around on
three bases on balls, two errors and two
hits. one of which was savage drive by
Red" Smith, which was good for three
bases
Eyers knew then and there that it was
no place for Pierce. so Ed Reulbach was
called. Fisher was on first base at the
time With two out, but he ended the inn
ing by attempting TO steal second.
Reulbach stood the Superbas on their
heads until ne was removed in the sew
enth frame 10 allow Wade Miller 10 bat
for him at a time when hit might have
done damage untold. for Stack was in the
midst of an ascension. only one run
was scored off his delivery. In the fourth
inning Fisher doubled and romped home
on a triple by otto Miller. When Reul-
bach retired Humphries took his place
and the Superbas got hold OF him for two
more runs. which clinched the victory.
The Chicago defence was ragged and
several errors had decided effect on the
score. Jimmy Archer, usually one OF the
most reliable throwers in the game, had
one Of his bad days. and his strong arm
eased the ways for couple OF runs. Just

ence OF c. W. Murphy. Johnny Evers
kicked in with an error that also allowed
a run TO patter DER the pan. They had
nothing on Phelan. for he. too. was on
hand with timely bungle
William Edward Stack did his level best
10 pitch for Brooklyn. but the cubs found
him i'm a hurry, and in order to avoid a
catastrophe Dahlen called on Curtis. In
the first frame Stack found clear sailing.
but in the second inning things began 10
happen. The Cubs got two runs on
couple OF hits, d pass and "A stolen base
with two outs He also passed the first
batter in the third inning, and Dahlen
called "A halt.
Curtis made a successful II somewhat
tempestuous finish. lie was wild and u-
effective in spots. and in the seventh
inning forced over two runs with free
passes. In the eighth he again tottered
on the brink, when two doubles and a
single were pride loose. but only one run
resulted
Al Bridwell had rare day at short
stop. He poled out four Of his team 5
nine nits and handled his four chances
in the field in good style. Vic Safer, back
in the game after two days rest, got
three hits.
Dahlen again bcnched Moran and sent
Uummel to right field silent John
neglected to get hit. but he had busy
time Of il, and two OF his good throws
nailed men on the bases. one to Cutshaw
in the second inning, nipping Safer when
the latter tried 10 stretch his single, being
a masterpiece
BY far the most enthusiastic spectators
were several thousand schoolboys OF
Brooklyn and Queens. who were the
guests Of the club. These little fellows
were on the roll OF honor in their re-
spective schools as the result Of their
work during the last month, and the
genial Colonel Ebbets. always eager to
inspire the youths OF the country TO
greater deeds. threw open the gates Of
his park and babe them welcome. only
about one half the number Of boys re-
ceiving the first rating were invited. but
the others will be entertained al an early
date.
The score follows
BROOKLYN. CHICAGO;
