Cubs With 3 Hits:
Dodgers Triumph

CHICAGO. June 21.-Al Mamaux
pitched a splendid game against the
Cubs here this afternoon, shutting
them out with three hits, thereby Civ
ing the Dodgers their shird victory of
the series by scope of to 0. 1t was
Mamaux's first victory of the season
after having been defeated four times.
He was never in better form.
Martin and Hendrix opposed the
Dodgers on the mound and the visitors
got to them for ten hits. Three punched
hits and a pass in the fourth inning
gave the Dodgers their first two runs.
With one down Wheat singled, Konetchy
walked and Magee scored both with a
double to centre. Miller beat out an
infifld hit after Schmandt famed, but
Mamaux forced him, retiring the side.

an out and rode home on Wheat's
triple
Martin was taken out by Mitchell in
the fifth and Hendrix took up the
pitching burden. He held the Dodgers

Then, again. it may not. Use your judgment.
When Sullivan fought Corbett John L. was thirty
four years old, three four years more younger
than Willard.
But here's the point. Sullivans last fight before
meeting Corbett with Jake Kilrain, July 8, 1889
He had battle to help him along until he met

The pitching shown by the rival
box men was of high calibre. Clark
selleck held the mound for Yale, while
Bob Kirkland assumed the same role
for Princeton, and each was found for
only six nits. However, Selleck was
more of an enigma IN the pinches.
About three thousand rooters,
mostly alumni from the contending
colleges, were in the stands. while
the Yale Club had several hundred
wounded soldiers as its guests. Half
dozen Tiger cheer leaders vainly
'ried to rouse their team to victory.
he Yale section was led by one cheer
raider, and the Ellis answered his
calls with resounding yells.
Wild Game in the Second
Gray, of Princeton, made the first
hit in opening the second inning, but
he was left stranded on third base.
In Yale's half, Keyes took a trip sky
ward and the New Haven contingent
proceeded to score three runs.
Reyes first allowed Faherty's hit to
roll through him, and Diamond followed
with sacrifice. Kirkland then hit
Murphy Oh the arm. Reyes fumbled
Sawyer's grounder, on which Faherty
scored, and when the shortstop threw
wild to Babe, at third base, to catch
Murphy, the latter continued on to the
plate. Sheehan got Yale's first. hit
when he whacked one to right, tallying
Sawyer. Selleck ended the inning by
popping out to the first baseman.
Selleck went along puzzling the
Princeton batters until the fourth
when, after Keyes had famed for the
first out, Harvey and Bauhan followed
with hits Sedlam reigned in the Tiger
stand, but Selleck frightened, made
Kirkland strike out and forced Stru-
bling to hit a puny foul fly to Diamond.
Yale Man Steals Home
Murphy, the Yale shortstop, caught
Kirkland asleep in the fourth and stole
home for another New Haven tally
He worked Kirkland for pass and
went to second on Sawyer's sacrifice
Sheehan's out put Murphy on third
where he sprinted home and was safe
on Kirklard's high throw to the plate
Faherty got his third hit in the
eighth. and it drove two runners over
the plate. Prann went to second
when Rade threw his groundc~ in to the
right field stands and Boyd reached
first on a pass. Holden popped to
Trimble. but ! aherty smashed one to
centre, scoring both runners.
Bauhan saw to it that Princeton
avoided shutout when, in the eighth
he doubled to left field and scored
on two infeld outs.
