1T was not like this in the olden
time" chanted Fred Mitchell, manager
Of the Chicago Cubs, as he strolled to
the clubhouse after yesterdays game.
in which the Giants triumphed over
their old rivals by score of 2 to 1.
The McGraw men have now captured
eight of the nine contests between the
two teams this season, the only Chi
cago victory coming when the Giants
made their first swing through the
West.
Jess Barnes, the mainstay of the
New York pitching staff, twirled mag
nifcently yesterday, and had it not
been for a tumble by Captain Fletcher
in the first inning the Cubs would have
been kept entirely away from the scor-
ing station.
Claude Hendrix, who, according to
Old Lady Rumor, may become a Giant
in the near future, did the box work
for the visitors until relieved by
pinch hitter in the eighth, and had he
drawn any other opponent than Barnes
Hendrix would doubtless have Jared
differently.
Hollocher Profits by Error
The lone Chicago tally was started
on it's way after Flack, the first man
to face Barnes, had grounded out to
Hal Chase. Hollocher raped the ball
on the bounce to Fletcher, who grabbed
a piece of mud along with the pellet,
and before he could decide which to
toss to Chase Hollocher was over the
initial bag.
Lee Magee, former Card. former
Fed, former Yank, former Red and
former Dodger, advanced the little
shortstop to second on an inheld out
. and then old Fred Merkle came through
with a single over the keystone sack.
which scored Hollocher. Pick was
as it happened, were through SO far
as runs were concerned.
The Giants tied matters in the
fourth, which Larry Doyle, playing his
first game for week, opened with a
line drive to right for base. Benja
Kauff took a mighty swing at the ball
and sent it to the ginger ale sign in
right centre, where Magee made fine
catch, but Lee was unable to prevent
Doyle from scooting to second on the
play.

bounced one over Deals head, which
permitted Larry to get all the way
home. Gonzales closed the proceedings
with foul to Killefer.

safe, whereupon Jess Barnes won his
own game, as the saying is, with
single to right, on which Chase trav

cut down at third on Flack's good throw
to Deal.
Hendrix Fears Young

Ross Young, who had already made
three hits, getting another whack, so
Ross was permitted to walk to first on
balls, although the move filled the bases
with Giants.
Captain Fletcher was overanxious to
avenge the insult offered him, and,
albeit he hit the ball hard, Hollocher
fielded it to Pick in time to force Young
at second.
The Cubs had fine opportunity to
make trouble in the eighth, when they
