Real Fight for National Pennnt.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-In a game in
which Cheney allowed Boston but one
hit and no runs, Safer scored ChiCago's
only run with a four base drive, the
tension of the close league race grew
so great that the players of both clubs
engaged in a fist fight. Several play
ers were banished from the game.
In the seventh inning, after Safer
drove the ball over the right field
screen for his home run, Zimmerman
followed with a hit to left field and at
tempted to stretch 1t into a double.
Evers was waiting with the ball and
when Zimmerman slid ln;o second base
tagged him. Something unseen hap
pened, for EVers hit Zimmerman on the
head with the ball as the player slid
past the base. Zimmerman arose i'm
mediatelY and in a moment a free-fOr-
all fight followed. MaranVille to came
to Evers' assistance, and a swarm of
the home players rushed to the aid of
Zimmerman. When order was restored,
Zimmerman, Evers, Meanwhile and
Schmidt were sent to the club house.
1t was necessary for Manager Stalltngs
to send Pitcher Hess to first base for
Boston.
