ilTateS.
Incidentally, it should be noted that
inasmuch rs the champion Doagers
triumphed over the Pirates in Flatbush
an appreciable gain was made by the
New Workers.. George Gibson's men
now lead the Polo Grounders by only
three and half games, and the series
between the two which opens here Sat
urday should be park-packer.
Only five safe blows were struck by
the Cubs yesterday, the longest hit be-
ing q double by Ray Grimes. IN the
mean time the Giants were having more
than a little difficulty with the south
paw shoots Of George Tyler, and al
though the McGrawites amassed ten
hits. including triple, they were able
to produce but two runs. in fact, had
1t not been for wild throw by Killefer,
the Chicago catcher, an extra inning
game must have resulted.
Evers Gets Jump"
Johnny Evers is following in the
bition TO do the first scoring, and Evers
got the jump again yesterday, the
break coming in the third inning and in
most peculiar fashion. Tyler opened
proceedings with double off the left
field wall. Flack strolled to first on
four balls. Hollocher hit torrid
Grounder through the legs of Miguel
Gonzales. but Johnny Rawlings bobbed
UP in time to nab the ball and force
Flack at second, Tyler going to third.
Terry smashed roller to Rawlings,
who with fine opportunity to force
out Tyler at home chose instead to at
tempt double play. Johnny chased
Hollocher back to first and then tossed
to Gonzales, who put out both runners,
but by this time Tyler was safely over
the plate. Terry was the first to BE-
put out and this made a double play
impossible.
The Giants won the game in the
sixth inning. Bancroft drove a ground
er at Hollocher, who threw low to first
and the runner was safe. Frank Ford
ham Frisch brought Bancroft the rest
of the way home with a crashing triple
to right center. Young was disposed of
easily, Grimes unassisted, and then
Killefer conceived the wild idea OF
catching the feet Frisch off third base
Killefer made one of the highest high
throws to base ever perpetrated and
Fordham frankie rose from the dust he
had made sliding to the bag and dashed
across the plate with the winning run.
1t looked most promising for whole
flock of runs, but despite the fact that
lyier dlloWeO TWO more hlCS In th1S
frame nothing more happened. Frank
Snyder, the home run hero of the pre-
vious day, made the third out, leaving
men stranded on second and third.
Twombly Makes Good Try
In an endeavor to start rally Man
ager Evers introduced Babe Twombly
in place of Maisel to open the seventh
inning. Babe certainly landed on the
ball hard, but Ryan knocked it down
and got his man at first. This was
really the dying gasp of the Cubs, al
though Grimes sent Brown far back
for his fly to center in the ninth.
Long George Kelly, the "toothless''
first baseman, took another day off,
Miguel Gonzales, of Cuba, once more
guarding the first bag for the Giants.
And Miguel had big day with the bat,
polling out three singles in four chasces.
The Giants almost scored in the first,
Flack throwing cut George Burns at
the plate after catching Young's fly.
1t looked like rather foolish chance
for George to take, but
Ray Grimes, the Chicago first sacker,
certainly murders" the ball He
drove one through Frisch in the fourth
inning shat was travelling SO fast that
even Fordham Frank couldn't touch it.
Deals catch of Young's foul in the
fourth was a thriller. The Chicago
third baseman fairly picked the ball
off the concrete.
