"Rube" Marquard could stave off the
growing Chicago cubs at West Side Park
this afternoon. Cunning for his tenth
consecutive victory. the angular southpaw
entered the lists against the tribe Of
Evers, but left perforce of many wounds
in the eighth inning, with the score tied
at all, and Arthur Fromme. late Of Gin
cinnau, took his place. 1t was under the
direction Of the former Red that the
Bruins won by a score OF , 10 {. The

Evers cavorting over the plate with the
winning run.
Before the Cubs won there were stirring
times. for the Giants were loath TO drain
