VICTORY FOR CUBS
IN FRIGID GAME
Less Than 100 Fans See
Hoosiers Beaten in Final
Exhibition, z to 4.

In the presence of less than 100 per-
sons who did not have to stick around
the Cubs trimmed the homeless Hoo
siers. to T. yesterday in the final
game of the series that was transfer
red here from Indianapolis. 1t was so
cold the players did not dare to try to
get up perspiration for fear it would
turn into icicies, and heavy garmDnts
impeded their efforts. But the Cubs
were put through the full nine in
nings to harden them against the eff
fects of similar conditions if they pre-
vail on Thursday.
Lavender was given the slab assign
ment by Manager Evers and progress
ed finely until the frost got into his
four-cornered splitter and froze up the
plumbing. That happened in the mid
die of the game and the Hoosiers play
ed havoc with a lead of four runs
which the Cubs had established in the
first inning.
