Cubs, 4; Reds, 8.

Chicago, May 5.--Joe Tinker and his
pesky reds gummed up the come
back performance Of Orval Overall in
the final Of the five game series Sat
urday. The big Californian after two
years away from the big league spot
light made his first attempt to show
his old time form, but the speed and
hop was not there and the reds forced
him to cover at the start Of the eighth
round when he filed the bags with
none dead. The final figures were to
4. Summed up it was case Of too
much hitting to suit the trojan cause.
The tailenders took to assorted offer
ings like ducks to water. and Jim Law
ender, who came to Overalls rescue
with the bases crammed in the eighth,
was treated in the same fashion as his
predecessor. The Tinker band swats
totaled twelve for seventeen bases.
Seven of the blows were delivered by

St. Louis Mo-, May Sitting when
hits meant runs, in the last two in

4 to 8 Sunday.
A pass, stolen base, wide throw, and
single in the first inning Melted the
visitors one run. After Mitchell had
walked two men in succession he was
relieved by Steen. A bunt which the
pitcher threw wild gave st. Louis It's
first run Lajoie's error counted an
other for the Browns.

Pathfinder who faced him.
Manager Dick Rohn and Red Low
Their of the Cowboys entertained the
bleachers from the coaching line
throughout the game. Manager Rohn
is considerable heavier than he was
on his last appearance here and the
bleachers too occasion to kid" the
big boss. Red Lowther, who has the
movements and talk Of an old Mis-
sourian, entertained the bugs in the
same manner in which he has for
the past two years.
It looked as If the flock was justi-
fed In protesting on Miller's move
ments in the box. The big HEAVIER
made several balks that Myers fail
ed t9 see
Chapman's catch Of Rolleg's fly in
the second was somewhat nifty.
Manager Rohn has pretty good
opinion Of our friend, Taylor Kensel.
After Tay knocked a triple In the
first inning, Dick was little afraid
Of the little, second baseman. When
Kensel came to the platter in the
second, Manager Rohn shouted to
Miller, pretty good hitter"
Jacks terrific hit in the third
round was certainly going some. It
went through Wall and Wise and
Conner Stanley had no little trouble
in stopping it.
The sixth frame found the first rain
of the Central season peppering
down in great shape. The Speeders
were in the lead and Manager Rohn
would not entertain such thought
as calling the engagement. However,
when the Cowboys went ahead in
the seventh, Rohn was willing to call
the contest. Was Manager Ned will
ing? Well, should say not.
Harmon had to go some to get
kidneys long drive In the sixth It
was nearly hit, Frank.
Probably the next time that Mr..
Harry Ellis faces Earl Morse, with
Clarence Jack on deck, Morse will
try and do something besides walk
ing the big Cowboy. Because we are
all mindful of what happened Sat
urday.
The rain came again in the eighth
and do you know that Sir Dick Rohn
wanted the doins called. Myers was
half in favor of doing so, but the
objections put forth by Egan and the
rest of the flock convinced Myers that
It was not raining so hard after all,
and he decided that he shouldn't
worry.
Frank Kline displayed an ivory
play in the eighth when he tossed the
ball away with only two gone. It's
all right Frank, because there wasn't
chance in the world to win anyhow.
Ellis catch of KenseIs drive in the
eighth up against the fence was one
that would remind one of Rabbit Rus
sell days.
