CUBS ARE HERE FOR
SERIES WITH PILLS
Pirates Ousted From Third
Place by Final Defeat Here.
Reds and Dodgers Tied

TAvvY'S CRAvATHIANS chased
~ the pesky Pirates out of town yes
terday not so pesky as when they en-.
tered with the short end Of 7-to-2
score. and beginning today at Broad
and Huntingdon streets, the Phils will
play host to the Charley Hollocherless
Chicago Cubs for a period of four days.
Hollocher is not with the Cubs for the
simple reason that the catcher is home
in Chicago, where he underwent an
operation for appendicitis yesterday.
and Manager Fred Mitchell said here
today that he did not expect Charley
to be back in his line up for at least six
weeks.
The arrival of the Bearlets in Philly
today is not SO. important as the fact
that Cincinnati won it's way into a
deadlock for the top rung in the Ma
tional League by defeating Brooklyn
yesterday, 11-0. Also it will be
noted by the standing of the clubs that
the Phils' defeat of the buccaneers en-
abled the Giants, who shaded st. Louis,
to go into third place, passing the Pitts
burghers.

club from third place. Hnbbel. who

outpitched both Carlson and Blake,
permitting eight scattered hits. 1t was

runs that decided the game in one

be opposed by Roy Moore. southpaw.
The Mackmen looked like sure win

session opened lead of to 4. Nay.

and pitched rattling good ball, but the
Sox are a bunch of battlers and kept
plugging away.
They knotted the count in the eighth
when Eddie Collins opened with n
and an infield out. and scored ahead
of a double by Felch.
Once restored to an even basis Faber
was unbeatable. In fact he looked
more impressive in the last four innings
than he did at any other stage Of the
pastime.
Naylor, on the contrary, seemed to
waver as the contest progressed. Enter
ing the tenth inning Eddie Collins
blazed another single to the outskirts.
Weaver again inserted the old sacrifice
when Amos Strunk had his chance to
win favor with the cash customers.
Strunk Breaks Up Game
Amos had busted into the line up as
left fielder vice Joe Jackson. The
latter stopped wild shoot from Scott
Perry in Thursdays matinee and ex-
perienced a lot of trouble in making his
right knee behave. Whereupon Glea-
son allowed it would be a splendid idea
for Mister Joe to blow himself to bit
of a vacation and let Strunk show his
fine Italian hand. :
All Amos did during the afternoon
proceedings was unbuckle a pair of
singles and a double. The last crack
was mean low down trick to spring on
his former comrades from Shibe Park.
But the double spun off Walkers meat
hand, after the latter had INDUCED in
a long sprint TO deep center field and
Eddie Collins flashed over the plate
with the run that ended the contest,
6 to 5.
Mack wasn't present at the game
and the AS took orders from Dan
Murphy. The latter sent Welsh to
right field and benched Whitley Witt.
Welsh compiled tow singles and sacri-
fee,
The Mackmen depart from Chicago
tonight for st. Louis.
