Chicago, July l5.-It was all ii.
fault of Frank Schultz. The sight Of
a Giant uniform seems TO awaken Old
memories in the veteran and make him
forget that he is no longer one OF the
leading sluggers OF the National
League. In the last half of the ninth
inning here to-day he slammed two
base hit against the fence in RICH.

The hit gave the Cubs the victory over
the Giants by score of TO 4.
BY winning the Cubs broke even on
the series with the Giants and held
the pacemakers of the National League
to their lead of three and half games.

When the final half OF the ninth inn
ing began the Giants had lead OF two

plenty of pitching strength in reserve.
Williams batted for Charlie Smith and
smashed a ball toward Stock, which
stuck in third base. II was single.
Johnson ran for Williams. Leach hit
one TO Fletcher for an infield single
and Johnson went to second. Good had
made three hits earlier in the game,
but in this inning Tesreau struck him
out. Safer sent slow tap TO Merkls
and beat the first bsseman OF the
Giants in a race for the bag. This
filled the bases.
Tesreau was upset by this last hit
and gave a base on balls TO thinner.

run was needed now to tie. Schultz
was not content merely TO even mat
ters, but smashed the ball, low, deep
and hard, to the fence in right centre
field. Across the plate came Leach and
Safer as a crowd of $500 cheered the
Cubs and jeered the Giants.
Second only TO Schultz as hero Of
the day was Charlie Smith, who pitched
for the Cubs. Smith just hangs around
the bench, and is of no particular use
to the Cubs against any team but the
Giants, but once he draws an assign
ment TO take the box in game with
New York he becomes a super-Charlle
Smith He had decidedly the better OF
the pitching battle to-day, and would
have held the Giants lower but for
errors behind him.
Giants Busy in the Third.
The Giants scored three runs in the

was to win the game later on, struck
