Win 80 Through Magnifi- cent Pitching of Vaughn
 Strike Delays Game.

of the worlds series players had been settled for the time being yesterday Lfternoon at Fenway Park, Jim Vaughn. the southpaw of the Chicago Nationals, started little strike of his own. After two defeats by the Boston Americans the big fellow refused to oe cuffed about any more for the de- lectation of Boston fans. Vaughn rose in his might and pitched a game such he has had only rarely pitched before and led the Cubs to a to victory over the Red Sox. The Chi cago club still is in second place in the series, having won only two as against three for the Bostons.
 If third base had been the entrance to the land of Canaan, land flowing with milk and honey, the Red Sox still would be wandering, like ancient Israel, in the wilderness Nary one of them reached it except in antici- patton or in that inner vision which does not affect the official score.
 Inner vision is a great thing. It keeps a man betting on bobtail flush against a full house, and it kept the Red Sox swinging wildly but hope fully at the delivery of Vaughn until Strunk famed for the third out of the ninth inning.
 Vaughn, upheld by faultless and astonishingly brilliant fielding, held the Boston team to five hits Vaughn, huge, easy going, absolute master of his moods as unruffled when the 25,- zN. a1r{- aoY oo the polished front of a tombstone, never faltered a moment from the time the announcer beloved his name to the grand stand until he shot the ball past Srtunk so fast that the out fielder did not strike at It until Kill lefer was half way to the dugout on his way home.
 Hollocher, with a sensational de- layed steal of second; Les Mann with a wallop immediately afterward, and Paskert with a woeful double with two men on in the eighth, were the Individuals who made the three runs possible. Mann, Hollacher and Flack starred defensively, although in jus tice to the Cubs 1t must be said that the entire team played a wonderfully fast, sparkling game.
 Hollocher, with three hits and a walk in four times at bat, was easily the offensive star of both teams, and three times he began double plays that blighted and swept away every chance the Red Sox had of pushing a man around the bags.
 Les Mann in the ninth inning pull ed off the finest bit of fielding to which the series has given birth. Of course the Red SoI's chances in the beginning of the ninth looked about as bright as those of a man trying to buy a ton of coal with seven yards of Russian money. Nevertheless the clan had not given up, particularly as the top of the list was up just as soon as Jones batted once.
 However, as Jones had been hitting for exercise only he was advised to withdraw and a worthy named Hank Miller took up the burden for him. Hank has a good sound to it, proba- bly because 1t calls to mind vision of Hank Gowdy, far famed hammer ing catcher of the Braves, who Is now harpooning Huns in the outfields of France.
 Well, Hank booked dangerous. Vaughn worked cautiously and finally got two strikes on him. Finally along came a ball that would have been a strike if Hank had suffered it to live. He hit 1t an awful welt. The ball scared for the left field fence and Mann, who had been loafng around out there, sprinted to get under it. oh 1nplFa1 Iiy,, ho nj lamp chimney in the smoking car of the Revere Beach Railroad, but Mann was full of ambition.
 The ball began dropping rapidly toward the mound sloping down from the fence. Mann tried to scoop up the mound, but forgot to shift gears or something and stumbled. But, listen. He fell with his face toward the sky. He didn't have time to get up. so he hitched himself along the ground and caught the ball in his lap.
 On the very next play Hooper hit a high one back of third. Hollocher caught the thing with his arms out stretched while sprinting at full speed. Those catches may not have saved the game, but they certainly didn't take anything away from it.
 Sam Jones twirled for the Red Sox He was good except when he should have been better. Scott again per formed miracles. In the third inning Vaughn smashed a burning grounder to the right of Scott. Just as the ball reached the Hoosier it took a wicked bound to the right, but the Deacon simply stuck out his glove, picked tbr, ball out of the air on the bound ..nd whistled it over to first in time to get Vaughn, who returned to his bench with a look of inexpressiblt disgust on his face.
 When the fans began pouring ir around o'clock they were amazed tc see the diamond deserted, and wher the. hands of the rheumatic clock or the left field fence indicated that 29 had come there was no one in eithe ougout but a bat boy sitting discon sclately on the iron rail fronting tn Red Sox bench and no one on the dia s7Iond but a cluster of camera men who seemed to be trying to divid three cigarettes among six gentlemen
 The fans didn't know what was tn matter, but scented trouble when fou mounted policemen galloped on to tn grounds and took positions in front O the centre field bleachers. As a mat ter of fact while the band was play ing "Tessie'' and Keep the Hom Fires Burning the Cubs and Ret Sox were telling the National Com mission that they would not play un less they were given a larger share o the receipts.
 From the very beginning it was ap parent that Vaughn would win. Il the first inning Flack, the first maj up, walked on four pitched balls. Hol pcher singled. Mann sacrificed. Pas kert lined to Whiteman, who made
