Cub Fielding Spectacular
The main factor in the Cubs victo-
ries was the great fielding of the key.
stone combination of Hollocher and
Terry. Hollocher was by far the most
spectacular fielder of the day.
DAILY, the Cubs catcher, collected
three doubles and a single in five
times at bat in the second game, while
Johnston led Brooklyn with two triples
and single.
George Maisel, the Cubs center
fielder, was hit on the head by a
thrown ball by Otto Miller in the first
