WATCHING THE
SCOREBOARD

Meeting their opportunity more
than half way. all three Chicago
teams won their games yesterday.
Seven big league trays were staged.
In the National, the Cubs squeezed
st. Louis out of sixth place, and in
the Federal, the Chifeds tied with
indianapolis for the fourth berth
making the only changes in the per-
centage column.
In a wild exhibition of hard hit
ting, poor pitching and mediocre
fielding, seasoned with few errors,
the Detroit Tigers evened up the
series with the Maps, 9 to 5.
The swatting Of Bush, Cobb and
Stanage, for Detroit, and Jackson,
for Cleveland-Cobb smashing
homer with a man on-was the chief
exhilarating relief.
But speaking of slugging, permit
one word righ here for the White
Sox. Getting rid of hits that have
been accommodating in their systems
for a week. the "hitless wonders" bat
ted like the Athletics, winning from
st. Louis Browns 4 TO 3.
After the Browns had a lead Of
three In the seventh, Weaver, of the
Sox, drove in q pair, and his team
mates fairly outdid themselves in try
ing to follow suit.
McQuillan won an eleven-inning
pitchers battle for the Pirates
against Ames. of the Cincinnati Reds,
when in the eleventh frame, he found
his opponent for a two-bagger, being
followed by Kelly, who repeated

also comes in for game-getting hon
ors. Pitching a slab duel with Cy
balkenberg, Of the Hoosiers, Ford
scored the lone run of the game in
the sixth, registering on a single af-
ter drawing a walk and stealing sec
ond.
In a game of LET the home fans
see me swat" the Chiefeds hammered
the tail-end Pitfeds, 10 to 3, rapping
out fourteen drives, good for 2S bases.
Adams pitched for Pittsburgh.
General O'Day reorganized the
Cub army yesterday and whaled the
st. Louis Cards, to /, the oppon-
ents score coming in the ninth. The
Cubs should have been reorganized
sooner.
The Baltimore Terrapns, while
counting five runs, held the Packers
scoreless until the ninth, when Walsh
drove home run over the fence.
