pitched almost as sensationally as Per-
rit, yet had tougher luck. Neither
pitcher was damaged to any extent save
in one inning. Each suffered three
swats in a frame. New York produced

tally for the three.
The second contest was full of feat

ters had retired in the first inning.
Play was resumed forty minutes after

first two rounds only. Vaughn was at
his best through the route.
Big Southpaw in Trim
This big southpaw not only pitched
wonderful ball. barring the third inn
ing, but contributed triple and two
singles to his cause. He scored two
runs and drove home three. Sensa-
tional as was this hitting of Vaughn, 1t
was not so sensational TO local fandom
as the appearance of Jack Murray as
catcher for New York in the last two
innings. When it appeared that the
game IVES hopelessly lost the Giant
manager decided TO give Bill Rarlden
the rest of the afternoon off. Murray
in his younger days was catcher. He
handled Anderson as well as one might
wish.
The Giants were simply slaughtered
in the second game because OF poor
pitching. The Polo Grounders did not
outclass the Cubs in the first game,
even. New York outhit Chicago, 1t is
true. in this engagement, but Chicago
was hitting in extremely tough luck.

Now as TO the Cubs. Deal proved
the first visitor TO reach Holke's cor
ner when he singled, with two gone, IN

rec was hammered for eight hits in the
round. The first five Of these fell IN
succession with one down.
The seven runs resulting are easily
explained. IL Wolter had not sacrificed
with four runs in for the second out
and Deal had not attempted TO steal
third Steamer Al might never have got
the side out.
Fred Anderson was peppered for two
runs in the ninth. With one out, ZeIder
