Chicago, July 20.-Ferdie Schupp lin

distance of victory. only 70 be defeated
in the tenth. Once. in the ninth inning.
he advanced into the country of the
enemy as far as third base, the only
enc of his team to penetrate TO such
depths, only to have Benny Kauff end
the frame with a sky-scraping fly which
Leslie Mann caught without trouble,
when a base hit would have won for
New York. The Cubs won the game
by a score of to o.
Schupp let the Bruins down with
four hits, and. moreover. he kept them
remotely scattered. Workman, playing
his first game with the Cubs, hit safely
in the first inning; Joe Kelly singled
in the second and again in the seventh,
while Rollie Zeider struck the fourth
blow in the tenth. and in doing so de-
cided the issue. Schupp gave two
bases on balls, and hit a batsman.
1t was his inability 10 guide the ball
past Joe Kelly that led to Schupp's

the fire in the tenth, and after stop
ping the ball with his ankle walked
down to first. Tinker at once called
on his reserves, and rushed Flack in 10
run for Kelly. Vic Safer laid down a
sacrifice bunt. sending Flack to second.
and then Zeider drove a long single to
left field. sending Flack over with the
run which brought the game TO close.
1t was not through any lack of ef-
fort on the part of George Burns that
the Giants overlooked the formality Of
winning. He made bold stroke in the
ninth when Schupp was on first base,
but a brilliant stop by Viv Safer check
mated him. Rariden opened the ninth
with a clean single, but Schupp. trying
to sacrifice, forced him at second, Hen
dirk to Workman. Burns sliced a
| curved ball down toward first base, a
double in the making if ever there were
one, and Schupp lit out for the plate.
/ Safer got hold of the ball, and retired
Burns at first. He tried to get Schupp
at second, but made a wild throw, and
/ Schupp went 10 third. He was still a
long way from home, and after Kauf S
/ fy the distance grew still longer.
Those fans who revel in pitching
dues had little to complain Of. II
| Schupp worked with mastery skill,
| Hendrix went him one better. The for
mer Pirate and Fed held the Giants
/ to three hits, and with the exception Of
the ninth was never in danger. Schupp
was the only Giant to get as far as
third, and only two of the New Yorker S
advanced to second Mike Doolan
doubled in the second frame, but was
caught off second when Workman froze
fast to Merkle's sizzling liner and threw
TO Zimmerman, completing the double
play. In seven of the ten innings Hen
dirk kept the one, two, three sequence
unbroken.
Workman played his first game in the
uniform of the Cubs, and made a favor
| able impression on the crowd. He got
one hit, but struck out twice and
grounded out on another of his four
trips to the plate. In the field he ac-
cepted eight chances in faultless style.
He looks like quite ball player.
Mike Doolan was passed up by the
Cubs. and he seems intent upon making
Tinker regret his action. The veteran
was at his best this afternoon. and
handled everything that came his way.
Cy Williams was kept busy retrieving
hard hit flies.
The score follows:
