alive, but with the team two run
behind it would seem to be bright
baseball to wait for hit. After Red
was exterminated Pierce walked and
Williams blew a triple that scored
him. If COrriden had remained on
second he and Pierce would have
scored on the clOUt, and Williams
would have counted on EveTs' diff
cult bounder to second, which, be-
cause of CorTiden's recklessness,
made the third out.
These two runs added to what the
Cubs registered would have been of
little use against the nine hung up
by Brooklyn, but with the Cubs in
the lead the entire plan of battle
of both teams might have been
changed. Don't get the impression
we are charging Red with the loss
of the game, but he played bad base
ball. He also played might fine ball
in the field. Thirteen chances came
the way of the soTreI top and he COB
bled every one of them with neat
ness, some being difficult. EVers was
also busy on the other side of the
middle arch, accepting twelve out of
fourteen chances that came his way.
A popularity of the game was that
Safer, Evers and COTriden got all the

to the oUtfield was a hit.
Lefty PierCe's curves were as easy
for the Dodgers to see as those of a
girl walking down Michigan avenue
in a slit skirt. Lefty projected along
until the third inning, when seven
hits had scored five runs. These ar
guments convinced Evers that Lefty
was out of killer.
Orvie Overall, whose last appear
ance of the mound caused Manager
Evers much woe and the loss of $50,
owing to a forfeit, then had an idea
he could pitch for a little while. Or

tOnished the multitude by keeping
the ball over the plate, only one hit
being made off him in two innings,
and not a DOdger walked There may
be something in the fact that on
each occasion this year when Reul-
bach has pitched to Roger Bresna-
han he has given nice exhibition.
Cliff Curtis, a former Cub, held his
ex-paIs to two hits. For the second
time in two games Jake Daubert of
the Dodgers soaked four hits. One
was a double.
Lefty Leifeld, Cub left-handeT, was
yesterday turned over to Atlanta Of
the Southern Association by PTesi-
dent Murphy. At the same time Bob
Craig, the University of Pennsylvania
shOrtstOp, who saw some service in
the Tri-State League, was eXiled to
the wilds of TeTre HaUte. A string is
kept on Craig, but Leifeld is totally
disinherited.
Detroit made it three straight from
the Athletics in a heavy CannOnade,
Bender and Hall being driven from
the box. Ty Cobb was put out Of the
game for protesting a decision. Ty
claimed he caught a liner, but imp
HiIdebrand ruled the ball was trap

Crawford busted the count in De-

three singles. E. Murphy of the
Macks connected for a triple and
two singles.
Washington rallied in the ninth
