CUBS TRIM
LOCALS IN
CLOSE GAME
Warren Club Chases Vaughn
to Clubhouse and Get
Away 80 Lead, but Lose
Batting Rally by Chicago in
Eighth and Error in Last
Frame Decides Big Contest

For East is East, and West is West,
and mere the twain shall meet
So sang Kipling, but if the noted
poet could have been in Warren yes
terday he might have changed his
mind. Not only would he have seen
East meet West, and in the combat re-
turn victorious, but he would have wit
messed the rare sight of a semi-pro
basA)all club forcing the National
league champions to their utmost in
an exciting game. The Cubs won, but
not until they had staged an eleventh
hour batting rally to make up for the
lead of the locals. The final score
stood: Chicago, 9; Warren Dis
trict, 8.
Desperately the locals tried to even
things up after the Cubs had grab
bed the lead, but there was nothing
doing 1t was a tough game to lose,
but one which casts no reflection on
either club. At any rate the Cubs will
know this much-the locals treated
em rough, and the star HEAVIER of the
big brush, Jim Vaughn, failed to pitch
as good a game as Oswald until the
latter's attempt to break the high alti-
tude record in the eighth, when the
Cubs evened up the score.
Nothing Missing
1t. was a game worth seeing, ana
there was nothing missing, from the
home runs of Baker and Morris to the
stentorian voice of the announced,
Jack" Markie, who introduced each
player as he came to bat.
For seven long innings the locals
hung on to the long end of the score,
then the fireworks started. Just as
Manager Pittman was preparing to cut
another notch in his gun as token
of victory, the Cubs got to Oswald
and tied the score, stepping out in the
ninth and coping the bacon.
1t may have been the high altitude;
or it might have been the high wind;
or maybe it was the high cost of liv-
ing. Anyway, the high something or
other made Jim Vaughn's twisters
easy to solve, and the locals got away
to a to 10 lead in the first frame.
The big HEAVIER appeared to have moth
ing on the ball but the trademark,
and some doubt existed as to whether
he had that much on it.
The Trouble Starts
Vaughn managed to retire the first
batter, Jansen, who flied out to Flack.
Carnes connected with the apple for a
hard single to right, and Pittman
famed. Brashear sent Carnes around
to the third cushion with a single
over second base, and Vache walked,
loading the sacks. Vache scored
Carnes with his single, and the bags
remained crowded. Vaughn passed
Gault, forcing in Brachear with the
second run of the frame. Morris hit
one on the pick, and before Mann had
retrieved it far out in left field he had
galloped clear around the bags, scor-
ing three men ahead of him. Oswald
grounded out to Merkle, ending the
fun, and things were quiet until the
next inning.
Two more tallies were grabbed by
the locals in the second frame, brace
of base hits and base on balls being
responsible. Vaughn started things off
by walking Jansen. Carnes famed
but Pittman came through with a two
! bagger, sending Jansen home, and 60
| ing to third himself on the throw-in.
Brashear scored Pitt, and Price hit
into a double play. That ended the
scoring as far as the locals were con-
cerned.
Cubs Gather Three
! The Cubs gathered three markers in
the third inning on as many hits, then
went scoreless until the eighth ses-
sion.
( In the third, with one buried, Flack
/ led off with a siSgle to center. Hol-
| locher followed with a one-sack swipe
/ to right Flack going all the way in
on the hit, but Hollocher appeared
| fO hn At nd
bulge on the throw-in. II mattered
