WEAKENS NEAR FINISH

Playing fast billiards Mt the start, but
falling down toward the finish. George
w. Moore, the three cushion champion,
finished the second block of points last
night in his championship match with
Alfredo De ORC with a more comfortable
lead thar the one point he had at tho
end OF Monday nights session. His total
of fifty points for the night was made

The concert hail at the New York
Theatre was well filled again to see the
two masters at the most intricate OF

to be a neck and neck struggle for the
title. At the thirtieth inning, when

were not as brilliant as some OF the
pyrotechnical efforts that frequently
drew applause for the under dog" The
little fellow. however, was cool and COL
lected all the way. while his opponent
frequently showed signs OF nervousness.
All through the contest he was certain
in going after ~naturals, and this counted
heavily In his favor in a game from

While Moore was making his big runs
in the early part OF the game, inter
spersed with few zeros, De orc got the
balls running TO his liking only once.
and that was in tho eighth inning when
he licked of five. Even this did not put
him on even terms. for Moore had made

~ WILLIAM n. HANNA.

Tesreau will have to pitch a no hit
game and he beaten to lose a tougher
one than he lost yesterday. The ball
game at the Polo Grounds with the
suffrage setting was won by the Cubs
by "A score Of | to o. and after the hrst
inning the only thing in circulation was
the blood, No players could get around.
AT liz was a cloudy day pitchers with
an abundance Of speed were chosen by
the respective commanders. and "A pitch
ers' duel of rare excellence took place
between Tssreau and HUMPHREYS. There
was so much smoke along the aerial
Nay from peak to plate that the batters
couldn't see to hit. and for that reason
the sufIragists had only one five dolla

game was to get a recompense of fve
cartwheels. ~colloquially known as dol
lars. and as only one man scored there
was more blood than money in circula-
ton. also more blood than players.
Circulation on the bases came prac-
tically to a full stop after the hrst
inning, Tight pitching made light travel
ling. II was heartrending to see such
superb pitching as Tesreau did hobnob
with "A defeat, but then the work of
HUMPHREYS glittered and cracked with
excellence, and from "A bipartisan
viewpoint OF the talent pro and con
shown on the slope 1t would have been
quite as harsh a jolt from Fortune for
him to have lost as IL was for Tesreau.
Some happenings which tell how well.
IL not how successfully. Tesreau pitched

just as sterile. Curves just as deadly
were suffering over the tray thrown
by the hand of HUMPHREYS as were the
swift. sidelong spitters OF Tesreau.
Fletcher and Murray were the only ones
who weren't unwilling subjects OF the
HUMPHREYS hypnosis. and 1t was impos-
sible to bunch hits on the Chicago con-
jurer. Tesreau gave no bases on balls
and HUMPHREYS only one. but in that
he did not allow more than one hit an
inning and a beggarly number whereas
two hits were punched on T%esreau. thus
the Chicago Cub excelled the Missouri
bear.
A policy adopted by the Giants and
stuck to was to hit Mt the first ball
pitched. AS HUMPHREYS had good con-
trol-he never vas far from the plate
and worked his curve TO take the edges
hitting at the first ball was as good
a policy as any, although II didn't get
the Giants anywhere. After the fourth
inning the poloists were on In every
round. but one at a time always ex-
cept in the ninth, in which two were
on and there was a FLIP of excitement
following a large. .knobby display OF
osseous matter by Heinie Zimmerman.
But Zim's mental %stagnation didn't hurt
his team any. and besides he played a
sprlghtly game at second and was Inn
pllcated In the two hit batting insur-
~rection. which counted in the Chicago
pelf.
With some people II Is an infallible
sign Of victory when the first man up
strikes out and. except such times as
It brings defeat. this is the case. That.
however, doesn't explain Chicago's
victory yesterday. for Burns struck out
for the Giants In the first after Phelan
had famed. Fisher cut a two Dagger
to left, but on Schulte's %grounder to
Fletcher he was run down on the third
fairway. Two out and a man on first
was reassuring. and even after Zim
singled and sent Schultz to third II
wasn't 80 bad. but the Cubs, with a
prophetic bunch of the value of getting
a run then and there. tried a double
steal. The ball was handled cleanly
by Meyers and Fletcher. but not with
sufficient CELEBRITY TO stife Schultz at
home. The latter slid and clutched the
plate before Meyers could apply the ball.
Fletcher made three hits. In the fifth
he led on with one and died on third.
In the seventh he made one with one
out and died on first. He died three
deaths during the game. The last time
was in the ninth. Lobert walked Will

will begin n four day series here on the
former date. The double postponement
has made it a certainty hat Donovan's
men will be in first place when they
leave here tomorrow night for st.
Louis. The best the Tigers can get now
on this series is an even break, and
even by winning tomorrow the Junga-
leers cannot regain the lead.

tories has been one OF the ~favorite
diversions OF the Yanks during the two

done as well. bu, ever the Indians have
no cause for complaint. considering the
weather and brand OF ball they have

Bill Donovan said tonight that Ray
Fisher Is not likely TO get his chance AZ
a seventh victory during the Yanks' go

place his dependence on Coveleski's left
