Worlds S Series Now Tie With

BY H. g. Hamilton

Comiskey Park, Chicago, Sept. g.
The Cubs put the worlds series on a
fifty-fifty basis here this afternoon
when they defeated the Red Sox, 8 to
l in the second game of the series.
George Tyler, one of the heroes of
the 1914 series, opposed Joe Bush, fam
ed hero of the 1913 series. While Bush
was in fine form he was unsteady at
critical moments and Tyler had the
necessary stuff to tighten when it
counted.
The Cubs won the game in a single
inning, the second. Three runs were
counted off a quartet of hits, one of
them two base smash by Killifer, the
first extra base hit Of the series. Bush
opened this inning unsteadily. He pass
ed Merkle and Pick followed with an
infield hit that Thomas could not han
die. Then Deal popped out, but Killifer
drove Merkle across with his double,
Pick going to third Tyler drove both
Pick and Killifer over with a single.
1t was mis- hit that scored the winning
runs. F1ack followed with a hit, but
was out a moment later trying to steal.
Wally Schang, if any one, may be
blamed for the Red Sox fizzle in the
final inning. With one on and hits
-glancing off the Red Sox bats, Sehang
fooled a play. In the eighth inning he
was sent in to hit for Agnew and re-
sponded with one base smash that
hit Hollocher between the bow and
stern. Bush flied out, but Hooper drove
a short single to right. Schang, instead
of stopping at second as he should have
done, dashed ,madly on to third and
was an easy victim of good throw by
Flack. If he had reached third he
would have gained nothing for the nee
essary runs were not on the bag, Meth
er was there enough to tie the score.
Not daunted in the least, the Sox
came back courageously in the ninth.
Strunk led off with triple and White
man followed with another hit for the
same length, but the Boston players
failed.
Today's fielding did not have the
sparkling briliance of yesterday s
game, but Charlie Pick, young second
baseman of the Cubs threw in some
plays that gave color to the pastime.
He handled seven chances cleanly and
on one occasion knocked down drive
in right field and threw his man out
at first.
| 1t was expected that Phil Douglas
and Carl Mays would clash tomorrow.

Boston.

ed the crowd at nearly $4,000
