At any rate the Giants still can beat
the Cubs on the Polo Grounds. and
that's something. The locals had quite
n narrow squeak doing it yesterday.
The Windy City Bruins put on belated
uprising in the late innings and they
had the tipping run on third base in the
ninth inning when Pep Young squeezed
Charley Hollocher's fly for the exit out.
An early lead. acquired by Justify
humping Jim Vaughn, enabled the
Giants to survive the late Chicago in
surrection. The score was to 4.
This is the third time the Cubs are
visiting Broadway this season and the
falterlng National League champions
still are cunning for their first 1919 vic
tory on Harlem soil. They only have
three more cracks at it Despite the
fact that the Giants lost three straight
on their last visit to Chicago, they have
taken more tribute from the Cubs than
any other team In the league with the
exception of Boston. The locals have
Chicago ten games to four, with six
more to play.

Cubs Must Awaken.
The Cubs are figuring they will nose

power than they have displayed since
entering John Hylan's jurisdiction last
Wednesday. Mitchelrs cohorts have lost
four out of six since landing in the
greater city.

year has been that the Cubs refuse to

he is known as Nick Carter.
The fans were treated to several circus
catches by the homo fiychasers- Vaughn
crashed a low liner TO left TO start the
third. Burns dove In for It on the wet
grass. and sliding along the turf on his
chest and chin. he caught the ball. 1t
was the fourth catch Of this nature
pulled on the Harlem field in the last
few days. Kauff got two like that in
the Red series and Burns one.
Vaughn didn't believe that Burns at
tached himself to the ball while 1t was
In the air, and was much annoyed over
the decision calling him out. .Hb argued
his point OF view with both Byron and
Ngler, but both refused to agree with
him

Chase Has Sore Wrist.
Chase was out of the game with a
sore wrist, and Mike Gonzales subbed

the Red series. The Cubs tried to pull
several tricks on Mike, but they did not
get away with anything. He made sew
