Oy put the Dall Oecp lHto CCHlie HS'u'
far over the head Of Snodgrass. There
was a runner on base and Cy chased
him all the way to the plate. Williams
is an architect or a civil engineer or
something like that. At any rate, he
knows that a straight line is the short
est distance between two points, and so
he saved some ground by keeping well
inside third base when he turned for
home. After crossing the plate he was
informed that he was out. This oc-
CURED in the fourth inning, when II
seemed as if the Cubs might not need
the run. Later the necessity developed
and Braincrd's single made the slip OF
Williams fatal.
For seven innings il seemed as If It
would be another of those games when
force Sam Crane TO roast the umplres
and demand the Punishment of byron.
There is no movement on foot here
even now 10 present anything TO byron
unless il be suitcase, but his falllngs
were forgotten when the merits OF
Burns. Robertson, Merkle and Bralnerd
became rampant.
Bert HUMPHREYS, who is said 10 be
suffering from an injured knee, pitched
in the sterling manner of all alllng
athletes. In fact. he hurled the ball as
masterfullv as if he had possessed a
sore arm. which is the most certain m
dlcation of a winning pitcher. Until
health enCulfed him in the eighth and
ninth he had allowed just three hits.
Marouard, sound in wind and limb,
could not keep the Cubs from clawlng
him now and again. and when Rune

10 let Grant take his place at bat the
score was three for the Cubs and MOTH
inC for the Giants
McGraw's men took two jumps to
clear the gap which separated them
from their opponents. They scored
twice in the eighth and went the rest
Of the way in the final inning. Earlier
IN the game the Cubs felded with pre-
cision. and not a ball came TO one OF
their infelders, except on a mop
straight and true.
Fate favored the Giants. When they
began 10 hit they found aid and com
fort in errors of the enemy as the Dali
became erratic. Help also came from
Bill Ritter. who pitched the hnaI nm
inc for New York and showed sucn
world of equipment that he famed two
of the batters who faced him' DuI
mostly il was Brainerd.
Nerkle began the ninth with a sur
nrise NAV. He had one hard hit single
10 his credit. and the infeld Of Chicago
was prepared TO see him press again
Instead he dropped the ball just INSIDE
tho third base line, and Phelan was so
taken by surprise that he had no
chance to field the bunt. Lobert mt
and TONED a bounder to Phelan, VINO
fumblsd, giving the batter life; Snod'
grass was ordered to advance the men
with sacrifice. but his bunt was 100
strong. and HUMPHREYS had ample time
10 get Merkle at third base. Inc
pitcher, however, made a VIDE thro" TO
Phelan and got no one:
The bases were full and Bresnahan
came out TO talk things over. Hum
nbries was as eager to remain as
colloce balfback with a broken leg.
The manager called Archer IN as an eX-
merit. and the catcher gave IT as nus

seemed as if the judgment OF pres

centre. CIV Williams tried hard to get
Lobert at the plate, but Hans was
home with hop. skip and jump when

Archer as he reached after him The
catcher threw his mask on the ground
and kicked IT.
Red Doom did his kicking earlier in
the afternoon, but as he chose an UNI
pire instead of an inanimate object ne
was nut out of the game.
A base on balls made the first run OF
the Cubs possible. zimmerman re
ceived il in the fourth inning, and
Safer forced him. Williams followed
with his home run, which was reduced
TO double on the recount. This
scored Safer.
In the seventh Williams missed
home run in right bv foot or so. The
ball bounced off the wall and yielded
two bases. Phelar sacrificed and
Archer scored the runner with single
which was just out of the reach of
DOYLE. Fishers single, Schulte's sac
rjfce and Zimmcrman's single gave the
Cubs their third run in the eighth.
For the Cubs. Fisher made two Tine
one-handed stops. and Good STAYED of
