new CUB TACTICS
AGAIN DROP PILLS
Chicago Champions Start Ham
mering First Pitched Ball
Against George Smith
FIFTH STRAIGHT REVERSE

Chicago. ILL.,. June 11.-Prcsident
Manager Fred Mitchell of the Cubs has
exercised all the strategy he had in his
soul to get the National League cham
pions to do a little something in the
way of hitting. lie has switched PICK.
Kilduff, Lear and McCabe all around
the infeld, Hollocher being the only
7 player that knew he had a job and
where it was.
Now Holly is out with smashed
thumb, which makes it more compli-
Gated. Mitch added to his strategic
moves yesterday and it worked like the
famous miracles he and Stallings used
TO pull in Boston. The Cubs fell
upon George Smith. of the Phils, for
a galaxy of seven hits and a brvy of
five runs in the first inning. thereby
sewing up the game before Jack Coombs
could believe it was coming off and
switch pitchers.
Whale First Ball
It has been matter of baseball re-
lirion. almost an article of faith, that
no player should offer at the first ball,
no matter how good it was or looked.
Yesterday. to the surprise of every
body. the Cubs started whaling away
at the first offering. The result was
the greatest batting seen on the North
Side here this year. Three of the ten
men who faced Smith in that fatal in
ming got hits and others made the try.
Apparently, Smith thought it was ac-
cidental or the Cubs were crossing the
manager, for he kept handing over good
ones to start.
When Watson went in he checked up
the Cubs He didn't take any chance
on handing over an easy first one, ana
the Cubs went back to looking at care
fully, but not offering.
Homer for Cy
It was weird game that the Cubs
won G to 5. 1t was the fifth straight
reverse for the Coombsnen. The Phillies
made thirteen hits to the Cubs eleven.
and in the bakers dozen We're four
doubles and home run, made by Cy
Williams in the seventh when he sailed
the pill high over right field wall and
into the street, but there was nobody
on
The Cubs got seven as mentioned in
one bunch which tells the story. The
Phils never got more than two in a
row off Hendrix.
Watson outpitchcd Hendrix in the
inning which he oficated. retiring the
Cubs in one two three order in the last
four rounds and permitted only four to
face him in the preceding two. Hendrix
was threatened several times. but good
fielding and the lucky breaks his way
saved his bacon
