Giants Again
Beat Cubs in
Heated Battle
Schupp Taken Out and Jeff
Tesreau Finishes for
McGrawites

Chicago. June 12.-The Giants won
another stormy game from the Cubs
to-day b. way of farewell to WEIGH
man Park. They furnished Fordie
ochupp an excellent opportunity to
rang up his eighth consecutive victory,
but Ferdie was stone deaf 20 the rap
ling. Schupp, by grace OF Giant bat
ting. is still undefeated this season.
though Tesreau gets credit for the 10
to victory. Schupp, principally be-
cause of his wildness, was unable to
hold a fivc-run lead. and put the tying
run on second base for the home team.
This closing engagement with the
Bruins was a stand-up. slam-bang bat
tie mos. of the way that recalled to
local fandom the oldtime battles be-
tween these deadly rivals of the days
when John McGraw. Husk Chance and
Fred Clarke had the pennant territory
divided among themselves. Every one
OF the games here had been classic
Of action, but to-dsy's was the pippin
Of them all.
Almost everything happened that
could happen in ball game. outside OF
a home run. There were wonderful
fielding plays opposed to weird throws,
wild pitches and passed balls. There
was sterling pitching and pitching Of
the loosest kind. A run or two meant
nothing in the young lives Of either
side. Runs would come in clusters
either way at the slightest provocation.
And through it all a continual war
waged-a three sided war. For, bitter
as the fight was between the rival play
ers, it seemed more bitter still on the
part of either against the umpires.
Before the day was gone, and while
yet Chicago had lingering hope for
the unexpected Umpire Billy KLEIN
banished Fred Mitchell, the Cub man
ager, from the grounds, and soon sent
Captain Larry Doyle to keep him COM
pany. These two furnished pleasing
company to the banished Little Ma
poleon's Elba.
Schupp Is Taken Out
Ferdie Schupp wasn't as good as
usual. In fact. he has been rickety
in his last several starts, and unless
he effects a reversal of form must
soon bump into the inevitable. He
was not in unusual danger to-day,
principally because all of the pitching
for Chicago proved easy. Schupp was
not knocked out Of the box as was
Seaton, but got the hook because OF
wildness and inability to make a Ave
run lead stand up for him.
The Giants peppered old Tom Seaton
out Of the box in jig time. Burns and
Hcrzog walked. KauH singled to
right, scoring Burns and putting Her
zog on third. Zimmerman singled TO
right. scoring Herzog and putting
Kauff on third. Hendrix replaced
Seston. Fletcher greeted the new
pitcher with single that scored
Kauf Merkle made a fine catch Of
foul and doubled thinner
man trying for third. Fletcher was
caught stealing.
The Giants added two more in the
third. Burns singled aad, when Her
zog sacrificed. sprinted around TO
third base. Kauf singled TO centre,
scoring Burns. Benny moved up while
Hendrix was TOSSING out Zimmerman.
Doyle fumbled or Fletcher and Kauf
raced all the way home. The deci-
sion was close. The Cubs surrounded
Klein at the plSte. While they were
arguing Fletcher sneaked from frs.
to third. but he was left as Robertson
flied to Williams.
Then in their half the Cubs bumped
Schupp for four runs. Deal beat a hit
70 Fletcher. Zeidcr beat hit 70 Zim-
norman after Heinc had thrown out
Hendrix. Wolter walked, filing the
bases. Doyle walked. forcing Deal
home with a run. Zeider scored and
Wolter took third on sacrifice ny.
Wilson, batting for Williams, beat a
slow roller TO Zimmerman, scoring
Wolter. Workman ran for Wilson.
Mann singled TO right, scoring Doyle
and sending Workman 20 third. Wort
man attempted TO tie the score on a
passed ball. but was declared out. II
was for jawing on this last decision
that Mitchell got the gate from KLEIN.
Tesreau to the Rescue
Schupp went wild again in the fifth,
when Chicago tied the score. The young
southpaw passed both Zeider and VOL
ter. and only prevented a single by
Doyle by grace OF a miraculous stop.
Tesreau was then rushed to the rescue.
Zeider scored the tieing run while
Fletcher was throwing out Merkle.
1t was short respite for the Cubs.
The Giants were right back at them for
five more runs in the sixth. What
would have happened il Fletcher hadn't
hit into a double play is best left to
the Imagination. Doubtless New York
would have set a new seasons record
for single inning scoring.
Zimmerman opened this section with
a fine single, but Fletcher promptly hit
TO the box and into a double play. Da-
vey Robertson beat out slow roller in
front of the plate. He took third when
Holke singled to centre. In attempting
to break up double steal Elliott
heaved the ball into centre field. On
this error Robertson counted. MAINS
throw in got past Deal and landed in
the Cub dugout, and on the second
srorr Holke scored. Doyle claimed
Holke was entitled only to third base,
and was put out Of the game for press
ing his contention too warmly with
KLEIN. After Driscol had gone TO sec
ond for the Cubs, Rariden walked. Tes-
reau was safe on Zeider's tumble.
Burns doubled off the right wall, seor-
ing Rariden. Tcsreau scored and
Burns took third on a wild pitch. Burns
stole home on a pitch that passed Her
