By Charles A. TAYLOR

CHICAGO, May 26-Memories Of
the olden days when the rivalry be-
tween the Giants and Cubs was at it's
height were revived here this after
noon, when twenty-five thousand wildly
cheering fans saw the home team de-
feat the league leaders for the second
day in succession. The score was 5
to /.
The crowd not only filled all the
seats, but there was fringe of the
rabid encircling the playing field, and
hundreds more, including many women,
peeked at the play from the opening
under the grandstand. There is not
the slightest doubt that Chicago is very
much in favor of Sunday ball.
Two bands, one the escort of the
ment from Sousa's band at the Great
Lakes training station, supplied music
in bountiful portions before the game
and between the innings. The two
organizations Joined in leading the
singing of the "Star- Spangled Banner"
at the opening of the seventh frame
and the thousands of throats set the
air quiverng.
Jim Vaughn on Mound
Big Jim Vaughn was selected by
Manager Mitchell to do the finging for
the Cubs and the Giants as ever found
Jim's slants far from their liking
Only four hits did they get and two Of
these came in the first inning, before
Vaughn was really ready for business.
Slim Sallee, the New York pitcher,
had quite a different experience. The
Cubs fairly murdered everything he
chose to serve to them and collected q
total of thirteen safe blows, including
4l ~ -
hits also were for two bases.
The Giants made their only run in
the first inning. Ross Young singled
to center and advanced to third while
Zeider was tossing out Benmy Kauff.
George Burns struck out, but Heinie
Zimmerman answered the booes and
jeers of his friends by singing to CEN
ire, tallying Young. Heinie aroused
further recognition from fans and
bands by stealing second, but Fletcher
was unable to do more than give
Vaughn a close play at first on
Arthur's grounder to Merkle.
The Cubs did not get very familiar
with Sallee's shoots until the third
inning, when they banged out double
and two singles for the run that tied
the score. It looked like a real ball
game and the fans settled back in their
seats, those who had seats, expecting a
pitchers duel, with runs few and far
between. But it turned out otherwise,
much to their delight.
Settled in the Fifth
The fifth inning settled the outcome,
the Cubs going on a slugging rampage
that netted them three runs. Killifer
opened the pot with double to left
field. and Jim Vaughn followed with a
single to the same territory that put
Killifer on third. Flanck was tossed
out by Fletcher, but Hollocher brought
the crowd to it's myriad feet by sim
Cling to right field Killifer counting.
Young fumbled the ball bit and then
hesitated so long about throwing home
that Vaughn pursued his battery mate
over the plate. Mann added to Sallee's
agony by drawing a base on balls after
Hollocher had stolen second. Merkle
forced Hollocher at third. Paskert
smashed the ball to right field for two
bases and Mann scored. That was all
for the time being, but it was more
than enough.
The Cubs went after Sallee again in
the seventh and put over the final run
of the game. With one out, Mann and
Merkle singled. Sallee made a wild
pitch and Mann registered on Holke's
catch of Paskert's long foul to right
field. 1t was fine play on the part of
Holke, who probably figured that he
would have plenty of time to nab
Mann.
