CHICAGO, Aug although failure
by Gonzales to break up a double steal
In the eighth inning gave the Cubs what
proved to be the winning run. yet
Charles Lincoln Herzog. whose batting
and fielding have been very obnoxious
to his former teammates, followed with
a whistling triple to left centre, thus
assuring a victory for the Chicagos by
3 to /.
As Herzog took a conspicuous part
yesterday in the 3 to defeat of the
Giants In the opening game of the pres
ent series. he was not the recipient OF
vote OF thanks to-day from the de-
feated Harlemites. Nevertheless the
Giants found some consolation in the
fact that the Cubs have won but three
out of the twelve games played with
the Giants during the season. But
there was bitterness in the reflection
that the Reds now are Az games ahead
in the race. Possibly the runners all
would have been safe even had Con-
zales's throw been perfect in which
event Herzog's whack would have driv-
en- home both Vaughn and Flack. How
ever, as Vaughn scored on the throw
which eluded Fletcher. the catcher Us
held responsible In a measure for the
defeat.
With the score at all the Giants
were blanked in their half of the eighth,
and then the Cubs took a smash at the
ball. Killefer hit a low liner to left
that started away with the speed and
precision of triple at the least. But
George Burns was on his toes at the
| crack of the bat and after a fine sprint
intercepted the spheroid and clutched it
as 1t was about to hit the grass.
Gon.aIe.'s Throw Costly.
Phil Douglas became so excited over
the catch he walked Vaughn. and Flack
then singled to centre. on which Vaughn
| romped to third. Vaughn and Flack
then conspired to perpetuate double
steal. and Gonzales hurled the ball at
| Fletcher, who covered second base. The
leather avoided Fletcher by some seven
| feet, and Vaughn skated home with the
winning run while F'lack raced to second.
Herzog then contributed his three
Dagger and Flack came home. Davy
Robertson made the third out on a
grounder to Fletcher AS the Giants
were snuffed out quickly in the ninth
they lost interest in the subsequent pro-
ceedings.
Until the eighth frame the game was
as interesting a pitchers duel between
Phil Douglas and Jim Vaughn as the
most rabid admirer of light hitting could
ask for. The $4,000 spectators were or
pins and needles when the eighth ar.
rived. but soon were overJoyed by the
events OF that session.
1t was an error by the usually re-
liable Killifer that gave the Giants theiI
only run out OF the game. Kaufr opened
the second inning with a scratch single
but Vaughn stopped Zim's hot smash
and threw the runner out at first. Bairc
singled to right and Kauff raced fo
, the plate. Flack shot the ball straight
+ to Killlfer. who muffed. and Kauff wa,

; grounder to Vaughn, and Douglas wal
