 Shadows of another baseball era were called back to the Polo Grounds yesterday by the fnesse of two of the younger set with lively ball, shipping at batters from dis tance of sixty feet and six inches. It will be many an afternoon before major league fans see a better pitch ed game then the one Percy Lay Ma lone and the Cubs won from Larry Benton and the Giants by a margin of 1 to 0.
 The Chicago speed baller held command of his game at all times, and after he finally received the sup port of one rune in the seventh, he actually seemed 10 have an inn pregnable lead. Malone gave up five hits to only four by Benton. but only once were the Giants able to put two of them together in any one inning. This was in the third when Roush and Terry singled, but Malone got Ott on a fly to Stephenson for the final out.

The situation in the standing of the clubs remained the same as the Yankees permitted Ted Lyons 10 pitch and bat the White sox to 3 to ? decision.

He also lifted his batting average to 1883 as his team mate Simmons slumped trife through hitless afternoon. The As outhlt the Browns by 10 to 6, but Gray was smart in the pinches. It was only the third defeat of the sea son for Grove
 Herb Pennock was the victim of Ted Lyons pinch single which broke up the game at Chicago in the ninth. put turned in a good game-good enough to win by an Irish mile with the usual Yankee batting support Babe Ruth was forced to depart from the game with strained leg but expected to return to the Hne-up today.
