HAD A CHANCE.

More than 1900 baseball bugs
gathered at the>North Side lot yester
DAY and saw Peters Chicago Union
Giants humbly defeated by the hard
hitting locals, by a final count Of is
to 4. SThe game was an excellent one
and close one up to the fourth frame,
when. the Cubs opened their battering
drive on pitcher Wilson Of the Giants.
From then on it was just walk-a-way
for the local stars and Peters men
didn't even have a chance of making
things interesting for Dunn's charges
Bingham, star performer for the
colored outfit was on hand ana
through the afternoon kept the fans
in continuous uproar with his witty
and humorous sayings and remarks,
He proved to be the same old
comedian he was last season when
he appeared here. In the eighth in
ming Bingham took the mound for
Wilson and retired the local side with
out hit or run.
Pitcher Jimmy Lynch proved a val
liable asset for the local Lynch dis
played wonderful form yesterday, bet
ter than any game before. Right off
the reel he started to bend them
across the plate in all fashions and
the "seben come eleben" boys were
mystihed. In the first three innings
Lynch got six strikeouts, but after
that he didn't have to work so hard
Up to the sixth inning he held the
ebony hued lads 10 only three hits. In
the nine innings they scored ten hits
Off Lynch, one of which was an extra
base drive, which covered three sacks
by Cole in the eighth frame Through
out the game Lynch walked two men
and struck out eleven.
Wilson, mainstay for the Peters
club, was helpless after the fourth in |
ming OF the game. Up to that time he |
only allowed one hit He was without |
support also, which aided in the win
for the locals. Wilson, many fans
predicted at the opening of the game,
would give the locals something 70
swing at, but Dunn's stars found him
after few innings and hammered |
him al over the lot. Twenty hits, in
GLIDING home run by WilmerotG, |
several three-base hits, raft OF
doubles and some singles, were ham
mcred out by Dunns team They |
showed no mercy In the sixth AMI |
seventh innings they scored fifteen
runs. In tn seventh thirteen men
faced Wilson. and slammed him for
nine hits and as many runs.
The seventh frame proved bad one
for the colored boys. Two errors. one
by Bingham in left field and the other
by Cole in right, started the locals
off Both players dropped easy
chances, and had they not missed
they might have retired the locals
much earlier without any scores at
all
The locals scored their first run in
the ourth frame. Smykal was thrown
out from pitcher to first base while
Edmunds flied out to right field. Roth
cracked out a single through short |
and third base Muggles, crashed a
three base hit through pitcher, and
out into left center field, scoring Roth.
Muggles was put out after he had over
run third base.
In the next frame two ore scores
were tailed by the locals. Sheldon |
started things by getting double. |
Brundage cracked a single while Kutz
was thrown out at first. Lynch got a
single through pitcher, scoring Shell
don. Wilmeroth and Smykal were
both thrown out at first.
The next two frames, the sixth and |
the seventh, spelled real defeat for |
Peters and his men. In the two
frames, twenty-three men were at bat, |
fourteen hits were recorded, and |
fifteen runs scored One home run, |
two triples and four doubles, besides a
number of one base drives, resulted
in the drive Of the locals
The dominoe lads tailed their first
two runs in the seventh frame, and
lowed in the next innings with two
more runs. In those two stanzas they
got seven hits off Lynch and we're
practically given the runs. in order
that the game might at least look half
way decent.
All the local boys were swinging a
wicked stick yesterday. Muggles and
Brnndage lead in the hitting with
