(By B. B. Bug.)

Saturday’s Results. National League. Chicago 6 . New York 5 11 innings. Philadelphia 2 Pittsburg 0 St Louis 3 Boston 2 Cincinnati 4 Brooklyn 3 American League. Chicago 5 Philadelphia 4 New York 16-7 St. Louis 9-3 Boston 6 Detroit 4 Washington 4 Cleveland 1 The Monon*ball team defeated Battle Ground last Sunday by a score of 1 to 0. The game was played at Battle Ground and it was a pitcher’s battle from start to finish. Monon secured its only score on a single by McDonald, who went to third on a scratch hit and scored on a wild pitch. About five hundred saw the game. Lacey, of the St. Paul league team, pitched for Monon and never permitted a man to get past second. Hand did the twirling for Battle Ground and was just about as effi-

cient, finally losing his game on his own error. —Francesville Tribune. . The final game of the Cub-Giaifr series went to the Chicagoans by a 6 to 5 count after 11 innings of desperate fighting. Mathewson opposed Lurid Lew Richie on the slab. Honors were about even in the hitting line, the Cubs getting the most extra base drives. The New Yorkers scored first in the third inning when they pounded Lew rather hard and scored three runs. They came back with one more in the fourth and, with the score 4 to 0 against them, the Cubs suddenly came to life and hammered-Mathew-son and coupled with the errors of Fletcher —and Becker counted them three runs. In the seventh the Cubs tied it up on Saier’s single, Ever’s double and Archer’s single. Both teams scored once in the ninth and the tenth passed scoreless. The Giants went out easily in their 11th and in the Cub half the three Cubs, Saier, Evers and Archer repeated their trick of the 7th inning and the Windy City lads had taken the final and deciding game of the series. The Cubs are but 5 games behind and have the better of the schedule from now on. The work of Red Murray of the Giants, Saier, Archer, Richie, and John Evers of the 9ubs, were the features of the series. Konetchy, the big first baseman of the Cards, is pounding the leather at a 341 gait and is playing the best ball of his major league career. The Yanks and Browns are scrapping t© see who gets the cellar position and the Browns went into the lead by dropping both games of tlje double header by 10 to 9 and 7 to 3. Caldewlh held the Browns to two scratch hits in the first game, while Napier? a recruit, was pounded hard by the New Yorkers. In the second game the Browns took an early lead but the Yanks came back with 9 runs in the 7th and followed it up with 4 more in the Bth. The White Sox trounced the Athletics, putting a stop to the winning streak of the Macks. With men on third and second in the "ninth Walsh whiffed Baker and Mclnniss, both three hundred hitters, and let Strunk roll to Weaver. The defeat sent the Athletics back into third place as Washington was defeating Cleveland. Lew Richie was slipped SIOO by Manager Chance after the game for the great work he did in the series. Lew said it was a shame to take the money as it was as easy as beating the Bostons. The Phillies again gave the. Pirates a trimming 2 to 0. But six hits were made off the offerings of.Camnitx, allowing 4, and Moore 2. The contest lasted but one hour and twenty-five minutes Boston trimmed, the Tigers by scoring 5 runs in the Bth. Cobb and Speaker, the two leading American league hitters, failed to connect.
