FAN FODDER.

Yesterday’s Scores. National — Cincinnati 6, Chicago 4. Brooklyn, rain. New York-Philadelphia, rain. No other games scheduled. American— Cleveland 3, Chicago 0. Ah other games postponed, rain. The long rap* of the Mattys with the Cubs* misplays gave Cincinnati the deciding game of the series, the Reds finishing in front 6to 4. The ©low fielding and poor hurling of Phil Douglass accounted for the Cinrinnati scores. Ring held Chicago except in one inning. Jiih Bagby, chucking for the Clevelands, let Chicago down with seven hits, shutting them out and annexing the second straight game from the White Shins. Liebold got three of the seven Hose swats. Faber and Russell served for Chicago, allowing five hits. Charley Herzog, New York second baseman, will be out of the game for a few days as a result of kicking at a piece of chewing gum on the floor of a Pullman, wrenching his spine. The father of Rollie Zeider, Cub shortfielder, died at his Auburn, Ind., home Wednesady. Zeider played in the Cub battle yesterday as Manager Mitchell is in such desperate straits for infielders f,oMowing injuries to Saier, Wortman and Wolfe. Larry Doyle is playing with a bad ankle. (Oscar Vitt will arrive in Chicago today and open with the Tigers at the south side park tomorrow. Vitt has been a holdout. Hal Chase continues to rap the 'ball for Cincinnati and The Prince is playing just as good ball today as when he was reckoned the greatest first baseman to ever don the spikes. Indianapolis was walloped by Minneapolis, Dale proving to be no enigma to the MilUers. Frank Gotch has announced that he will turn over his 'belt to the man who survives the four-cornered tilt. The men to fight for the emblem are Stober, Caddock, Olin and Strangler Lewis.
