Fifty thousand persons. the largest crowd that ever saw q ball game in the Windy City was on hand. The pitching of Percy Jones and the hitting of Riggs Stephenson gave the Cubs the verdict. Jones allowed but five hits. Stephenson smashed but three hits and scored the winning tally in the eighth when he tripled and came home on sacrifice fly by Butler. The Pirates protested that under the ground rules Riggs hit should have been good for only two bases. Johnny Miljus started and finished for the Corsairs.
