this afternoon, the Cubs shot a ray of
hope into a glimmering chance for the
1918 championship.
Chicago's victory came after long
Argument between players and tie ma
tional commission. during which the
players first refused to appear unless
they were given more money than the
receipts warranted. They finally agreed
to play "for the good of the game. !"
jim Vaughn, left handed hard luck
Cub pitcher, finally put across the vie
tory that was expected Of him. His
game today was his best effort Of Tie
series.
Opposed to Vaughn was Sam Jones,
the youngest star of the Red Sex pitch
ing staff. HI ,llowed seven hits,
against five ga,nered by his teammates
and wal outpitched at every Stage.
Tho fira4 Cub sNr..-earaa "a tha third
inning on a base on balls to HoIlocher,
his stolen base and. a double by Leslie
Mann.
In the eighth Flack walked and Hol-
locher followed with an infield hit.
Both scored when Paskert lifted the
ball into deep le for a double.
The Red Sox had two opportunities.
Their best one in the fourth inning, but
was smotl red in a fast double play.
Strunk led off with double and
Whiteman popped out. Mclnnis shot a
Inc drive at Merkle, who doubled
S.runh second.
The game was full of brilliant field
ing. Scott shone for the Red Sox thru
out. In the ninth Miller, batting for
Jones, hit fly to left field that Mann
got after running to tsc fence and
climbed the embankment. He fell and
was sitting dow when the ball landed
in his hands. On the next play Hooper
lifted a short pop fly over third base
Hollocher caught it near the third base
foul line, while on a dead run with his
back to the plate.
There was some doubt tonight re-

wv on they will stick probably to their
'omise to play.
