It was a hot day, however, and Art
Phelan would have been allowed to
loaf if EVers had not kicked.
After the first inning, when the
Cubs got their lone run on doubles
by Leach and Schultz, the affair
could not be considered a ball game.
The succeeding innings only served
to show that Lou Richie is a soft
pitcher. Lou took Overall's place on
the mound in the fourth inning, after
the Californian had been pUmmeled
for six hits and five runs. After as
saulting Lou few times the Braves
became too tired to run, and in the
ninth inning Rabbit Maranville, fol-
lowing a steal of second while Richie
held the ball, deliberately ran himself
to death at third base.
The pitchers were punk enough,
but it wouldn't have helped any if
they had been tight, unless they could
have put over shUt-Out. All hits
had been gotten from the Cubs sys-
TENS the previous day, and they could
total but four blows off Dickson, who |
won MS CnlrQ game OF the year from |
the West Siders.
Lord of Boston peeled a homer
with two on and also contributed a |
double and single. Rabbit Maran- |
vile cracked three singles and Bill |
Sweeney hoped a triple.
Schultz, Leach and Overall got a
double apiece and Goode nicked a
single for the Cubs.
McGraw's carnival of nations, in
Guiding Indians, FTenchmen, Irish
and Californians, ratified to the West
Side today, prtmed to show how the
game Of baseball should be played. It
should be quite a treat to regular
patrons Of the Cub park. Jim Thorpe,
the much press-agented red man,
will be given chance to perform for
the multitude if the Giants ever get

themselves, but they gave Bill Car
rigan a fine start before the home
folks as manager. A run of four
straight is something unprecedented
for the worlds champions this sea-
son, and Carrigan is being hailed as
a regular leader.
Bill has a great head. When he
finds his own players can't put the
game over, he exercises some sort
of mental control over the enemy and
forces them to toss a game or so his
way. Buck Weaver fell a victim to
CaTTigan's hypnotic influence in the
second game Of yesterdays double
header, and single-handed tossed the
game to Boston. Twice Buck broke -
the spell and spanked singles that
scored runs for the SOx, but Carrigan
regained his control.
In plain English, Weaver made four
wild throws, three to first base and
one to the plate. In the second in
ming he picked up a ball Lord had
fumbled and heaVed it in the general
direction of home in an effort to head
Gardner off. The grandstand was IN
injured. In the fourth Buck put a
runner on second when he heaVed a
boUnder over Chase's head, and then
helped him home by making a Sec
ond twO-base bObbIe on the next roll
er. This guy was pinched trying for
third, and then Leonard dubbed a
double. Buck picked up the next
grounder and tossed it aimIessIy past
first, Leonard scoring and the runner
at second. Two regular
hits in the sixth inning gave Boston
two runs, after which Buck O'Brien
quit. He had only allowed four hits,
but five runs were scored. The form
er Red Sox gave his old pals seven
passes, but would have gotten by if
Weaver had not tried for the altitude
record.

New YORK Sept. 1o.-with the
Giants slipping back and the
- Phillies climbing up. the cham
pionship race has taken on a much
more interesting outlook just now
than a month or so ago.
The situation the Giants find them
selves in is rather embarrassing to
say the least They have fallen off
terribly in their hitting and any
pitcher with something" can tie
them into knots.

From Hartford ne went to Newark
and Providence, and finally moved to
New York in the reign of Clarke Grlf-
fifth. He hadn't been working around
the big town in the American league
long before it was discovered he pos
seSSed real ability as a catcher, and
they let him go to Detroit. That is what
has become of so many ball players
who used to wear Yankee uniforms.
They were too good for the rest of the
team. Look at George Moriarity and
Jake" Stahl and some more.
Connie" Mack went very short on
catchers in 1909, and he dickered with
the Detroit management for Thomas,
as only Connie can bargain. The
Tigers naturally lost out on the deal
but not so badly as they might have,
because Mack needed a catcher quick
