CUBS BEATEN BY 8 TO 2
BY FREDERICK G. LIEB.

The Giants are playing no favorites.
Il means little TO them whether Moose
MRchell. Cub manager, pitches his right
or left handed stars. The locals treat
al Of 'em equally rough. Last Tuesday.
Grover Alexander, the right handed
nfching prince OF the Chicago stable,
was toppled for to Q. Yesterday on
The Polo Grounds Jim Vaughn, the Cubs
left handed ace, met a similar fate.
Big Hippo also was tripped up by a
so . score.
The Giants are making the Cubs eyes
pop out with the treatment they are
according them. Moose Mitchell feels
IKE the nice. little. fat boy who started
for the confectioner's with two dimes.
which he intended to invest in two ice
cream sodas. only to be waylaid BY
some tough gainins, who confscated his
purse bought sodas for themselves and
nnde the fat boy watch them eat it.
Mitchell came to town with the two
pitching stars OF the National League
prmed especially for the Giants. "Aleck"
and big JIM each were expected 10
drop Giant scalp into the Cub basket
Instead the heads OF Alexander and
Vaughn fell in. So,
.Ine lower end or the Giant batting
order cooked Vaughan's goose. Outside
Of Young. the top of the New York bal
tie array was helpless before the burly
eouthpaw yesterday, as neither Burns.
Chase nor DoyIeN reached base. Nc
Carly and Dubuc did the most execu-
ten. each batteryman driving In a run.
Chicago also did some tidy fielding.
The 1900 fans who attended the game
saw some brilliant baseball Merkle got
ealled up on couple of plays In the
second, but both were difficult chances.
The best individual play of the game was
stop by Pick on a fierce smash by
Kauff in the sixth. 1t made Benny
Vince when Pick picked. that one /up
on him.
The Cubs again made q strong start,
eating on to a one run lead in the
first Flack smacked q sturdy single
to centre. Kauff played the ball as II
Il were creased and the ball filtered
through him. Max got to second before
Benny could Recover the sphere. Land
and air sacrifices by Hollocher and
Mann. respectively. pushed ,Flack over
tie plate.
The Giants took the lead with a pair
q runs in the second, when Merkle had
his hard session. Kauff sent q screech-
ing double to right. which Flack played
nicely as II bounded of the right field
wall Zim sent Benny Michael around
10 third with a neat sacrifice. Fletcher
hi hopper to Merkle and Fred made
2 hefty throw to the plate. 1t was high
isd wide, and Killefer had to Jump to
knock It down. Kaufr scored standing
Up but 1t is doubtful II even a good
throw would have caught Benny.
ipn the next play Merkle' wrestled
around tina tpAald with Mc(Na viva In,
field smash long enough for 1t to go a,
scratch hit. It placed Fletcher on
second. There was nothing itchy to Du.

II was the Canadian. Dubuc. who
~rlggledy The tails of the Windy City
bruins. Jean finally stuck in a game
long enough to win or lose II. He start
ed one against the Phils. and Jesse Win
tiers took the credit of winning 1t. His
next start was against the Braves. and
the defeat was hooked on to George
Smith.
Jean well deserves all the credit the
pitching averages afford him, as he
twirled a clever. heady game. The
hague champions reached Monsieur
ppbuc for only four hits. and tumble
by kaut enabled the Cubs to score their
FIRST run. From the time Fiack opened
the game with a single to centre, no
other Chicago player made a hit until
Ho!locher got an inheld bingle in the
seventh which Zimm knocked down but
was unable to field.
During his Detroit days Dubuc wa.
Known as an inveterate user OF the slow
ball. but the stubby little fellow got g
lat on It yesterday. He only struck ou'
enc man, but the Cubs seldom hit any
htng hard. When they did. there was
nothing wanting to the Giant infield.
