CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The Giants lost
the second game OF this current crucial
series in the eleventh inning by the
tight and significant score Of to 1.
Hack Miller, son of Sebastian the
Strong Man. kept around to assassi-
nate left hand pitchers. earned the
salary that Mr.. Wrigley pays him out
of his gum profits by smacking Art
Nehf for a two bagger.
Having done this, he was removed. as
| his bulk had the infield traffic blocked.
Clifton Earl Heathcote. who is mar
rover around the middle, was put in
to run for him. Then Krug drove a
single to left and Clifton Earl sped
homo just foot or two ahead OF the
throw made by Meusel. The field was
flooded with customers. who surrounded
the Giant dugout and razxed the world
champions.
In contrast to the loose game of yes-
terday, this thing to-day wac q tense
battle between the left har led Art
Nehf and the right handed veteran.
Grover Cleveland Alexandas Nehf
wilted first. after ii had begS, 10 look
as though the game might tass into
the night.
The Cubs got their first run IN tho
second inning, when Nehf and Bancroft
started the break with couple OF bad
throws. "Pancho" Snyder tied 1t In
the fifth. when he slid in from third
on a sacrifice fly by Bancroft
| After that neither team showed any
| symptoms OF being about to score any
further that afternoon until Hack
Miller. the strong mans little boy. came
| to bat overdue for a hit.
/ The blow that put the skIds under
| Nehf whizzed in among the customers
behind the ropes in right field. This
| gave Miller time 70 make his way TO
second after his own leisurely manner
| He seemed bit hurt at being shunted
off the paths TO let Heathcote run for
him. but Bill Killlfer was not going
to trust Hack" 10 get home on a
single under his own steam. The re-
moval OF Miller was wise move. as
Heathcote. who Is a fast runner. just
get under the wire on Krugs hit
| The inmates OF this title ball club be-
| came considerably frenzied and seemed
| to have some notion OF carrying tho
strong mans son out Of the place on
their shoulders. But Miller, who in
herits some Of his celebrated parents
| gifts as 10 muscles and shoulders. re-
fused 70 be moved. When Miller does
not wish to be moved the rock OF
Gibraltar is no more stubborn.
Cash Customers Everywhere.
Tho outheld again was cluttered up
| with few thousand cash customers and
the ground rules OF the previous day
were in force. Every seat for the se-
ries had been sold for days in advance.
The atmosphere was charged with con-
siderable turbulence. Even the tres
fans. perched In the tall shrubbery OUT
side the park, were chattering derisively
about the Giant expeditionary forces.
Long George" Kelly stopped tho
rush Of Cubs in the first inning through
his reach. Maisel. who led or for Mr..
Wrigley's young men. got base on
balls. Hollocher raped a fast ono
quick pass 10 Bancroft, stopping Maisel.
The return throw or Bancroft was wide
Of the bag but Long George" length
ened himself and got the ball in his
glove completing the double.
In this same inning. Ross Young did
some volplaning through the customers
in right field. Grimes lifted one into
that territory and Young did back
flip over tie rope that held the cus-
toners out. lie upset quite flock of
! the squatters but did not get the ball
which went for the conventional "CubS
Park" two-h%gger.

clearing the screen for homer. Nc

II a wo-hagger and Rigler won tho
debate while Casey Stengel continued
to utter shrill staccato squawks for
several minutes.

drive by Holocher. The aged gents

In the fourth inning Art Nehf almost
lost the southpaw that Is expected 10 do
most of the pitching that may send the
Giant expedltionary forces pennant-
ward--always providing that they con-
tinue to travel in trat direction. Heinie
Krug dashed very torrid one at Nehf,
who stuck out the ungloved mitt- The
ball slapped into i. but after he had
made the throw to first Nehf hoped
around wringing the paw.
O'Farreil slapped another hard one
against the same highly important meat
hook. Ii looked as though the Cubs were
out to eliminate the highly priced south
paw from the current pennant race.
