CHICAGO FIREMEN
BEAT OURS AGAIN
Windy City Smokeaters Win
in Tenth Inning by
10 to 8.
BY DANIEL.

Take II from me--Fireman Pat
O'Shaughnessy of Quanes. sir-there'll
be no good come of this. A Swade from
Cheecago throwing out the first ball
with a hundred Irishmen spittin' on their
hands aching for the job! Therell be
no good come of this for the Burkes.
,Dowlings. Dempseys. O'Briens and Nc
Governs on our team. We're licked as
sure as the O'Shanughnessys were kings
In Tralee."
And Fireman Pat was right! After
Alderman Oscar Olson. one of the Windy
City fathers of the Windy City. had
tossed out the preliminary jinx at Eb-
bets Field yesterday afternoon the gal
liant boys on the local Fire Department
nine proceeded to enjoy the very devil
OF a time giving the second game OF the
series to the Chicago vamps in ten In
nngs by 10 to 3. Alderman Oscar ap-
parently put a Scandinavian hoodoo on
our gallant fire eaters. and while they
did many things right they also did
lot Of them wrong. particularly in the
box.
Debate on Umpires a Draw.
On the theory that you can't give too
much for a worthy cause the brave
nozzle holders from the great metropo-
Ilses battled and battered each other for
three hours and twenty minutes.
New York would not have lost-and
we say this with positiveness-if it had
not handed eight runs to the Windy City
ho,l, -ond ladder company on five hits
In the fourth inning. A mixture Of gem
erosity on the part Of Lynch the pitcher
Lynch was his name--a couple OF
deya stating errors and the aforemen-
hitting sent several hundred visiting fire
ing firenen fans into the market for
marked down straws.
They tossed their thatch covers into
the arena in utter abandon, and later
they wished they had them back, for a
three run rally in the seventh put our
own gallant flame squelchers on even
terms with the Cheecago nine. Hugh,
the last of the local spitballers, acting
as a pinch hitter, was the illustrious
hero OF that uprising. His drive sent
in two of the runs. and then Maurer
hammered in the tying tally.
When the seventh inning opened the
Chicago delegation still was celebrating
the eight runs OF the fourth, as well
as ninth counter caught in the sixth,
with a double by Swenie, the Swedish
Irishman, and single by Lubbn. Some
fifteen thousand of the home citiZenry be-
gan to howl down the irrepressibles from
Illinois, and when OBrien slashed a
single to left FIatbush resounded with
more varieties OF yowls and calls and
cheers than a league game ever de-
veloped.
Maager and his double A. who lad
worked the day before and had taken
the place of Count Zweifka In the sixth,
gave Kingsley pass through the fire
lines McGovern forced O'Brien--whlch
was mean tf.ing for McGovern to do
to an O'Brien. Dempsey waited and
walked. filling the bases with two out
and setting the stage for Haugh.
Nicholi Saves the Game.
The pinch hitter for Gilfillan cracked
a single to right, scoring two runs Mau-
rer cracked a single 20 left, and another
came in, and the score was tied. The
Chicago delegation was quietsr than a
rainy Sunday night on Staten Island.
Maager kept the local smoke eaters
at hay the rest of the way. They kicked
Up a fuss in the ninth on Dempsey's
double and Haugh's single. a great
throw by Nicholl nippins Dempsey at
the plate Nick saved the game for
his nine. In the tenth Maurer got to
third. but got no further.
The Cheecago laddics won the fight on
a sacrifice fly--a tame way to win any
ball game, but II counts Just the saine.
