nine hits, one less than rne Cubs. but they

The victory OF the Cubs decreases the
lead OF the Giants. Braves and Cardinals
and makes the Windy city team loom up as

But should Boston take a ma jority OF the
games and the Cardinals prove as big a
stumbling block to McGraw as did the
Reds, then the Braves Will get out in

The defeat OF Boston Monday should in
no way discourage the supporters OF the

bail during the past month, while the Giants
