on second place by lazily kicking the
! Cubs around the Polo Grounds ycstcr-
! day TO the tune of 7 to .. Shuaiin'
Fhli Douglas had the gents from the
stockyards blinking after the first two
innings, while the Giants chased Lefty
Tyler and Abraham Lincoln Bailey out
of the place. Speed Martin checked the
rush of base hits, but Beauty Bancroft
! got himself a double and three singles
and Snyder had two two-basscrs.
The customers were scarcer than
/ usual, because it is not regarded in the
light of novelty to see the Cubs
kicked around by somebody, and the
pennant race. while it is still waiting a
little further mathematical contirma-
ton, Is about closed for the season. OF
course, the Cubs got little notoriety
! this season with their near gambling
/ scandal, but that did not seem to make
| the customers riot to get through the
turnstiles.
Johnny Evers, the grizzled Trojan
watched the Cubs with reminiscent
moodlness, for Johnny, it will be re-
called, was once a Cub, and some Cub
at that, when the bards were chanting,
! Thinker to Evers to Chance" All al
tcrnoon long Johnny's pensivc express
SION seemed to say: $50 these are the
! CUBS! How are the mighty fallen" or
words to that effect.
Lambs Club Missing
1t may have been that the drop in the
attendance of yesterday was due TO the
taking up Of the passes OF members Of
the Lambs Club. There were no mem
bers OF this club III the stands. though
there were few Friars. White Rats
! and Players, with q liberal sprinkling
/ OF members in good standing of Tam
many Hall, with the usual members Of
broadway Basket, No. l, of the Hard
] Boiled Eggs.
The Cubs gave Shuffin' Phil some
thing of shock in the first inning
when Flack plastcrcd him for a double
! to left. feathers dumped a sacrifice
IN front Of the plate and sent Flack to
third: Dashing Davy Robertson
bounded a single over Roy Grimes, un-
! dcrstudy to Larry Doyle, and Flack
scored.
Burns opened the Giants half Of
the first with a single to left Beauty
Bancroft slashed another single to the
same general vicinity and Burns went
to third. Young rolled a slow one
along the first base line and Tyler
shimmlcd after it uncertainty. Burns
had crossed the plate and Bancroft
was on third before Tyler could re-
trlcvc the elusive pellet. Frank Frsch
lifted one to Flack. who shot the ball
to the plate so swiftly that Bancroft
stayed at third, but Young made Il
dash for second. Long George Kelly
Iifted long fly to Paskert and Ban
croft scored
In the second inning it looked as
though Ole Dode Paskert had some
thing in the nature of double or
triple to center, but Recruit Lee King
crankcd up and nailed the pill with a
beautiful running catch. The lone run
in this inning was the sole property of
Trilby OFarrell. He pokcd the ball
into the left field blcachcrs and
Shufflin' Phil Douglas looked almost
peevish.
In the Giants half OF the second,
with one out, Snyder caromed a two
Dagger off the right field wall. Boots
feathers, the new Cub infieldcr, threw
Shulflin' Phil out. Burns got a base
on balls. Then Beauty Bancroft con-
nected with his second timely sock, Il
single TO right, which scored Snyder
and sent Burns TO third. While the
Cubs were looking on moodily the
Giants staged the double steal, and
ftoi sc DuIlS SliQ III across the platter.
Abraham Gets His
BY this time it was decided that
Lefty Tyler might as we'll have the
rest of the afternoon off to see the
sights of the large city. Abraham
i Lincoln Bailey went in, and Abraham
got his in the fourth.
Snyder started to spill Abraham
with his second two-bagger of the
afternoon lifting the pill over third
into left. Shuflin' Phil shufled part
Of the way to first, but halted abruptly
when Boots Leathers tossed him out
at the sack Burns shot a single to
center and scored Snyder
Beauty Bancroft contributed his
third hit OF the afternoon and sent
Burns to third. Young plastered a
single to center and scored Burns By
this time Abraham showed signs Of
great mental anguish and was lifted
from the scene. Speed Martin replaced
him. and Speed was welcomed etfusivcly
by Frank Frisch, with -haggcr to
right that scored Bancroft.
After that nothing of any great mo-
mcnt happened. Only Johnny Evers
standing on the third base coacfin
line continued to look sadly rcnli-
nscent. $50 these are the Cubs" he
muttercd, what world. What a
world"
The Giants will rest to-day and to-
morrow and speculate on what they
might draw for their end, if they play
q city series with the Yanks The
Battle Of the Boroughs Will start Satur-
