Special Despatch to THE NEW YosK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Aug. s.-It availed not that
the Giants hit three home runs against
| the Cubs this afternoon. In spite of the
| fact that Frisch sent the ball over the
right field wall with one on. Burns
| spanked homer into tho left field
bleachers, and snyder duplicated the
F'risch feat. the New Yorks were de-
feated by the Chlcagos in tense. hard
fought ten inning battle by to Z.
| Standing out with glaring impertin-
ance among the factors which discounted
the savage hitting OF the Giants and
| sent them down to defeat in their final
game of the Western trip was ludic-
! rous effort on the part OF Phil Douglas
to initiate Mercury and Charley Pad
dock. Douglas tried to force out O'Far-
| rell on the third base line unassisted In
the sixth inning, and wound up with
| wild throw, which capped the climax of
four run rally by the Cubs and tied
! the score at to 8.
| 1t was the Douglas dash that ulti-
| mately forced the game into extra time
| and gave Flack and OFarrell a chance
with one down in the tenth O'Farrell
| got his third double, hit down the
| first base line. Cheeves fled to Young
! and O'Farrell ran to third. Flack Inn
mediately lit on one of Douglass fast
| ones for a single to right center and
| O'Farrell scored.
1t was a wild game of hard hitting.
| in which the Cubs used four pitchers
Ponder, Feeman. York and Cleeves.

| afoul Of that rally in the sixth. After
him came Douglas and the deluge.
| 1t looked as IL Snyder had turned
| the tide in favor of the Giants In the
| eighth when he cracked the leather over
the right field fence and put New York
In front by to 6. But along came Kel-
leher with single In the ninth and
along came Barber with a triple to score
Kelleher and create deadlock. There
was no reason in Chicago why Barber
should have got three bases on that hit
or why Kelleher should have scored
Meusel Plays with Ten Thumbs.
! Meusel played the ball with ten
thumbs, eight Of them short ones, and
| there You have another of the several
| reasons for the New York setback
Still another damaging lapse was Rawl-
| ings's failure to complete a double play
in the second inning. The Cubs got
two runs In that frame and Rawlings's
success would have precluded both.
What may have been a damaging
break against the Giants came in the
tenth. Snyder singled and went 10
second on Douglass sacrifice. Burns
beat out hit to Hollocher, beat it out
by full stride. but Umpire Mccormick
called him out. and ended the attempted
rally. Mccormick never saw Burns get
to first and called him out, with head
facing toward right field.
The Giants got away to q smart start
and appeared to be on easy street when
Burns walked. went to second on Ban
croft's infleld out and dashed home in
front OF Frisch when the Fordham flash
crashed the ball over the right field wall.
However, New York's lead did not last
very long, for In the second inning, the
Cubs pounded 1'oney all over the park
and tied the score. Rawlings failure
to make a double play which stared him
In the face was responsible for both
tallies, for 1t was after this lapse that
Toney suffered the most damaging
punishment With ono down Maisel

the ball and then passed up the chance.

cracked a double or the right field
screen and scored Deal. Ponder drove
hit to left and O'Farrall dashed home,
Meusel's trhow being just shade late.
Chicago's comeback served only to
make the New Yorks all the more de-
termined. They went right out In the
third, slammed Ponder for four hits and
put themselves three runs to the good.
A pretty double by Kelly was one of
the features OF that delectable develop
ment. Burns's single to Kelleher was
the opening shot
Giants Take Lead.
Infield outs by Bancroft and Frisch
placed Burns on third and then Young
drove hit to right to score Burns. Now
