GEORGE GIBSON BALKS

CHICAGO, Aug. I7.-Evidentlv a days
lay of did not change the Giants any.
They played here to-day just as they left
en- In Philadelphia. On Tuesday the
Phillies with Demaree In the box beat
the Giants 1 to o and to-day the Cubs
with Jim Vaughn pitching also handed
McGraw's once proud beauties another
! to 0 slam. II was the ffth straight
defeat for the Giants. Charley Hersog
already is feeling sorry for himself that
he left tic Reds.
Jim Vaughn Is the 1915 Cub Giant
killer. He has inherited the crown once
worn by Jack Pfester and later by Lew
Richie. TIL Giants had plenty Of
chances TO score on Jim to-day. 0They
made seven hits. Vaughn walked -four
Giants and hit another. which accounts
for "a full dozen New Workers reaching
base. Nine were left and tire others fell
into traps or were picked of bases.
But before going my further we must
tell about the terrible mishap that be-

Perhaps the most notifying feature
OF the defeat was the calibre of the team
with which Tinker beat the Giants. The
more changes Joe makes with his club
the worse 1t looks. To-day he had
Mann. Flack and Pitcher Gene Packard

Workman and Zcider FOR an infeld. with
Rowdy Elliott catching. lielnie Z.m-

like a sad outfit. but IL won. Only about
2,500 fans were out 70 welcome the Cubs
back. which doesn't sound much like tire
crowds the Cubs used to nave when the
Giants called.
