The misplay virtually enabled the
Cubs to win the first game of a double
header In the ninth inning, to s. But
IN the second game, after bearing in
suits for nine innings, Ivy broke up
pretty pitching duel in, the tenth in
ming, and the Robins won, to O. This
victory made 1t even~Steven for the
day.
Young Harry Shriver and young
Victor Keene, were hanging up ciphers
IN endless succession until Olson ended
matters in the tenth with single,
which scored High. Andy had reached
first on an infeld single. Hungling
and Shriver attempted to Law down
sacrifices and they did it so we'll that
the Cubs were throwing too late to
catch the runners. Everybody was
safe. the bases were jammed and Olson
was up. He pulled the cotton out of
his ears, heard the mocking ribaldry
and promptly singled to right.
Snriver and Keene were very care
full in doling out the hits. Each al
lowed eight safeties, and these were
very widely scattered. Not single
Cub reached third base and only one
rally.
OF too much Miller, Terry and Aldridge
and not enough Of Olson. Miller and
Terry knocked in six of Chicago's seven
runs; Aldridge, after relieving Jones
IN the third, stopped the Brooklyn scor-
ing most completely, and Olson. with
Wretched error, practically tossed the
game away in the ninth.
Miller and Terry were the outstand-
ing figures in the Cub attack They di-
vided six of the twelve hits off Ruether
and Miller got the perfect hit, the
dream of every ball player-a home
run with the bases full, in the first in

single in the ninth inning which

Ruether had several bad innings, and
these spelled his ruin. Jones was good
In the first two innings, but he needed
a rescuer and his successor, Aldridge,
proved equal to the task of stopping
Brooklyn.
The big bats of Terry and Miller
were much in evidence in the first inn
ing of the first game, when the Cubs
got away to q fourrun lead. Hollocher
singled, with one out, and Terry sent
him to third with his first hit. Grimes
walked, filling the bases. Friberg
helped Ruether by popping up, but
with Miller it was something else
again. The strong boy took one hefty
swing and the ball disappeared over
the right field wall. Three runners
Tailed ahead of Hack.
In the third double by Grimes and
Friberg's single accounted for the fifth
Chicago run. The faithful Flatbushers
were just about ready to concede de-
feat at this point. Percy Jones seemed
invincible. In the second Brooklyn
filed the bases, with none out, but
Percy escaped unscathed. He famed
DeBerry and Ruether and forced Olson
to pop up. This was certainly no in
dication of what was to come, for Percy
suddenly collapsed in the third and Vic
Aldridge had to relieve him.
Johnston, first up in the third, was
safe on Terry's tumble. Bert Griffith
singled, and after Wheat had popped
out Myers tripled, Schmandt doubled
and High singled, all for four runs

error OF. the d>ss Hollocher hit an
