easy victory from the fallen Cubs in
the first game of the series today, at
the West Side Park. The count was

departments of the game.
From start to finish the Cubs played
in helpless sort OF manner in both
defensive and offensive work. Three
West Side pitchers tried to stop the
StallingS champions and none of them
was able to do so. George Pierce
served his southpaw spitters for three
innings and the Braves knocked them
about the field for a total of seven
hits and five runs
Others Fared Little Better.
Bert Humphries was the next hurler
elected, and he toiled for five innings
in quite a stylish manner. yielding.

Bob's muff of the fly which Mayer
popped UP in the first inning was per

he beats out a lot of infield hits and
any time he hits into tia. inaeld he
keeps the opposing team hustling to

Chic Gandil is continuing his timely
hitting. Yesterday he got three in four
times TO the plate and the ball he was
thrown out on was hit right on the
nose. He also scored two of;,the To-
Gals. runs yesterday and played a re-
markable game at first base, where he
ate up lots of bad throws Gandil is
generally conceded to be the star first
baseman of the American League.
If that boy Barber can be developed he
is sure to make just the kind of a bali
player that Griffith has raeded for
years. He is a big, hard-hitting young
fellow, who Is by no means slow on his
feet In fact, he is fast. With lit
tie experience Barber ought to be a
cleanup hitter. the one thing that has
been lacking on the local team. He
is seeing his first year in base ball and
it may be asking too much to expect
him to make good from the outset, but
if the local club ever had an outfielder
