5 to s victory.
Now, according to all available sta-$
tistics, Young York got all his train
ing as pitcher by throwing grenades
at the Germans in No Mans Land.
When Jim did get a day or so of "over
there" he kept his arm in trim by
playing little baseball behind the
she'll area. But Jim's holidays were
few in wartime, for this Sd Division of
which he was member fought almost
continuously at Chateau Thierry, in
the Argonne and along TIE Meuse.
How well his division regarded him
was made public Wednesday when his
former pals presented Jim York with
gold watch, not of the wrist variety.
This was gift of appreciation Of Jim's
choice than that Of Private York to
check these mad-rushing Giants could
not Possibly have been made by Man
sger Johnny Evers, of the Cubs.
Cheeves Waivers in Third
The first selection of the tenpestu-
Gus Evers for mound duty was Virgil
Cheeves, of Texas. II was the first
start in the big show FOR Virgil and
II is not 8 bit strange that he wavered
in the third, even after his teammates
had accumulated q three-run lead to
back him up. The passing of Virgil
and the summoning of York were due
to base on balls to Nehf, single BIZ
Burns, wild pitch by Virgil single
by Bancroft and pass to Frisch, ali
of which had resulted in two runs for
the Giants.
York found Ross Young confronting
him. Young was the man he had
tanned on the day before with the
bases full, and York turned in the same
trick again. But Kelly worried the,
ex-soldier and he passed Long George,
and right here is where Captain Davie
Bancroft Of the Giants, who was
perched on third, committed a new
John Anderson"
and with Kelly's pass that he was en-
Titled to walk leisurely Lomeward. He
did walk leisurely, but O'Farrell, the
Cub catcher, met Bancroft half way
and tagged him out. There happened
to be only two men on bases, he err
ing Bancroft and Fordham Frisch.
Thus was spilled fine chance for
the Giants to once more squeeze out
q victory, for Fighting Jim York
eighth that he wavered again by walk
ing Bancroft and Frisch. A double by
Kelly scored Bancroft and then King
was walked, but Patterson, batting for
Rapp, popped out to Holloche~ and
Snyder was tossed into oblivion by
Terry.
1t may be Of interest to know how the
Cubs amassed their FIVE runs. In the
first inning Arthur Nehf walked Bar
Der, who was forced at second by Hol-
locher, Frisch to Bancroft. Terry
singled TO right, bat Young's clever
fielding and return held Hollocher at
second. Ray Grimes popped to Ban
croft. Maisel singled to left, Burns
making desperate try, and Hollocher
scored.
The next runs for the Cubs came in
che third inning, after one man had
been retired. Hollocher hit roller to
Kelly, which Long George tossed. to
Nehf, who failed to touch first. Terry
singled to right and Grimes raped q
safety through Kelly, which tailed
Hoilocher, although Grimes was caught
at second trying to stretch his hit.
Terry counted on a wild pitch.
Two more runs came the way OF the
Cubs in the sixth inning, base on
balls to Terry, an inffeld hit by Grimes,
q wild throw by Snyder and single by
Sullivan being responsible.
Jim York, in the two days he has
appeared upon the mound, has famed
Ross Young four times in a row, once
on Wednesday and three times yester-
day. Young, in the olden days, used TO
bat right-handed when southpaws such
as York faced him. Perhaps he had
better shift again. He looked most
miserable at the plate yesterday,
The score:
