SOXS BEAT CUBS IN LIVELY GAME

Chicago Series Still Hanging On Walt* ing for Jack Frost to Toll the BeD. The central west is still indulging in pink sheet revelry. A sporting writer, says that the Sox-Cubs contests are so lively that the games in the Boston-New York world’s series looked like a resting place to the average fanatic. The Cubs started aft with three straight wins and the poor Sox looked like bush-leaguers. Then ithe tide turned and the thoroughly aroused Sox woke up one morning with a new determination. And the result was a victory for the pale hosed southsiders. Then another victory and then still another and the contest is now a tie, three games each. The weatherman will probably chase them off the diamond today and possibly again tomorrow and that will give all the “bugs” in the baseball mad city a chance to witness a game for blood Sunday. The long hits Thursday, when the Sox won by a score of .8 to 5, shows how viciously the contest is being waged. There were three home runs, two three-baggers and a half dozen doubles, with a total of 37 batted bases. With the settlement of this contest, baseball will go to the background until spring practice begins, when the managers will start to telling about the brilliant prospects they have gathered in during the winter months.
