little strike OF his own. After two de-
teats by the Boston Americans the big
fellow refused TO be cufYed about any
more for the delectation OF Boston fans.
Vaughn rose In his might and pitched a
game such as he had only rarely pitched
before and led the Cubs to 3 to 0
victory over the Red Sox. The Chicago
club still is in second place In the series,
having won only two as against three
for the Bostons.

with woful double with two men on in

made the three runs possible. Mann,
Hol!ocher and Fiack starred defensively,
although in justice TO the other Cubs It
must be said that the entire team played
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
'imes he began double plays that
tighted and swept away every chance
'he Red SoS had of pushing 4 man

Les Mann in the ninth inning pulled
on the finest bit OF fielding to which the
series has given birth or course the
