Hits, While Cheney Is Driven
from Mound - Run
Wild on Archer.

For the first time since 1905 the Giants
won the seasons series with the Chicagos
when they triumphed over the Cubs at
the Polo Grounds yesterday. For seven
years. with Frank Chance in command
New York was never able TO secure bet
ter than an even break. There is an end
TO all things. however. and with the pass
ing of Chance so passed the time-hon-
ored Chicago spell. Meeting the Bruins
under the command of Johnny Evers. Nc
Graw's boys won the twelfth victory of
the year over the Western foe. The score
was to /. incidentally. the CUBS dropped
into fourth place. two points behind the
Pirates.
Evers sent in Larry Cheney, the strong
man from Goat Hill. to start the game
The defeat is charged to the big fellow.

Jim Vaughn. of Texas. and formerly Of
the New York Yankees. then entered the
box. but he was not much better than his
predecessor and the merrymaking con-
tinued. Vaughn allowed three hits, but
these were grouped around base on
balls. a wild pitch and some furious base
running for four runs.
The Cub pitchers. however were not
the only members Of the team who were
off form. Jimmy Archer whose arm and
unerring eye once kept the Giant runners
hugging the hassocks. was treated scan
dalously No fewer than five bases were
stolen on him and he had two passed
balls, one of which allowed run to filter
over the pan. The crowd was in high
glee, and every time a New York runner
captured a base the spectators made the
furious Archer aware OF the fact. In the
eighth frame Merkle made the inheld
look foolish with delayed steal that
caught them all asleep.
McGraw picked JEFF Tesreau. the man.

box duty. The bear hunter was fearfully
wild and wonderfully effective in streaks
Although he issued six passes TO first

the occasion arose. and vice the mighty
Heinie Zimmerman went out with the
bases full. once on a foul and once on
strikes. bringing a promising situation
to a dolorous close. Tesreau allowed only
five hits, one a fluke triple by Tommy
Leach on a fly which Murray misjudged.
Charley Herzog breaking into the game

Giants The fiery third sacker once more

Giants runs. He drove home three OF
them with his two doubles and ringing
single, and completed the circuit twice
himself. while TO add a distinctive touch
Il his work he romped off with stolen
base.
II looked as II the Bruins would make
q Roman holiday in the first inning. Jack
Murray misjudged a long fly by Tommy
Leach. and before ne could return 1t 10
the infeld the outfielder had raced to third
base. Then Tesreau passed both Evers
and "Wildfre" Frank Schultz without even
putting a strike over on either. With

got Vic Safer on a slow roller, but Leach
scored. Cy Williams grounded out peac
ably.
In the second inning the Giants tied the
score, and thereafter were never IN
trouble Merkle began with single and
after Murray flied to Zimmerman Fred
stole second. from whence he scored on
single by Mclean after Snodgrass had
been retired. In the third inning three
more runs were added. With one out,
shafer walked and Fletcher had col
lision with a pitched ball. Along about
this time Herzog ridded his system OF a
two-bagger. which scored Shafer. and
after Merkle hit the dust on strikes Muir
raw singled, scoring both Herzog and
Fletcher. More hilarity was added by
Murray plfering second and Snodgrass
being hit by pitched bail but Mclean
grounded to the box.
II did not take New York long TO size

tim, but Herzog clouted 10 right for
double in the fifth. took third on an infeld
out and scored on a wild pitch. In the
seventh inning Burns walked, and after
Shafer flied out took second on wild
pitch. Fletcher also walked. and Herzog
was in the pinch with a one-sacker that
registered Burns at the plate and sent
Fletcher 10 third. Charley at once stole
second base. and he strobe over the plate
close on F'letcher's heels when Merkle
clouted 10 the dexter field for clean
single. Merkle also pilfered the midway,
a pretty delayed steal, but there he died
while Murray grounded out and Snodgrass
famed.
