GIANTS LAMBAST
VAUGHN AND TAKE:
SERIES FROM CUBS

Chicago, Ill, July 3o-The Giants
beat the Cubs by to in the final
game of the series here yesterday
The New York team did all its work
in the early rounds, while the Cubs
rallied near the finish and threatened
for a, while but were ohecged.
Hippo Vaughn attempted to come
back and swamp the leaders as he
did in the first game, but something
went wrong. At least the Giants
hammered the ball while Hippo per-
spired in the sweltering sum-, finally
going all to smash in the third inning.
Nick Carter then took up the burden,
and later Mike Prendergast took
whirl at it, and even Phil Douglas was
in for the final frame, all doing eff
fectfve work, but it was too late to
save the game.
All told, Mitchell used II of his
warriors trying to break down the
ramparts of the Giants, but the best
he could do was to crawl UP within
one run of tying the count. However,
the Cubs knocked Rube Benton off the
slab and also Anderson, and in order
70 make sure of saving the game, Slim
Sallee had to be summoned post haste
IN the ninth inning to stop the attack
with his sweeping south paw curves
The Cubs made thirteen hits and
showed a great fighting spirit, but the
breaks of the game were against
them. They made only two errors,
while New York made four and
struck only eight blows but the visit
ors made good use of the hits, while
not one Of their nistakesi helped the
Cubs.
It was Heinie Zimmerman who
started the visitors off in front when
he slammed two Dagger down the
right field foul line in the first inning.
Burns had opened with a double and
Herzog drew a pass, after which both
were hunted along by Kauff Heinie
then made his hit and the other two
scampered home. Heinie thought
he had a triple. but when he got to
third the ball was waiting for him.

ST. LOUIS CLUB IN
. WATERBURY PUTS
ON MILITARY DRILL

Waterbury, July 30-Waterbury ex-
perienced another Of the gala days
Of its baseball history yesterday when
full squad of "a players to town,
their regular line in the field to de-
feat the Colonials in a slam bang
game 11-6.
That drill in itself was well worth
several times the admission price. To
the stirring strains of the "Marse1-
latse" 20 players in perfect time and
military order led by Capt. Wisener,
o.. S. A, marched out to the flag pole
in center field and raised Old Glory
while the band played t'The Star
Spangled Banner and the crowd stood
at attention. They then went through
a number of maneuvers in splendid
style and finished with a wonderful
exhibition Of the manual OF arms.
Failure OF Murray, the Colonials'
pitcher to arrive, resulted in Don
Beck being called to the slab and a
wholesale shifting of players which
had the usual result Of giving the OPP
ponents wholesome lead Of five runs
in the first. three innings. George
Sisler cracked one drive over the
right field fence corner. tremendous
hit on the Reidvil1e grounds, in the
first inning, and followed this with a
double scoring two runs in the third.
Despite the threatening weather
another capacity crowd turned out,
the stands being completely filled half
an hour before game time. The spop-
ularity Of the Colonials' move to Wa
terbury Is easily assured.

Senators and triLmphs have been SO

It was tough on Shanty House, for
the Bridgeport hurler pitched his best
game of the season. He allowed only
two hits but these came in the same
inning and coupled with an error by
run of the game. Both clubs played
good time casting asparagus at UNI

the fans and the umpire on several
decisions.
Trautman did the f1inging for Hart

hits but was bear in the pinches
Two double plays also helped him out.
The Americans threatened to rally in
the ninth when Corcoran singled and

Bridgeport at bat with two hits.
It was in the seventh that the Sem
