bungles and "bones" precipitated the Cubs Into third place yesterday when they were beaten by the Brooklyn Infants, 6 to 5. in spite of the best efforts of three Cub pitchers to spank the pesky things. While a wild whip to the plate by Jimmy Doyle in the ninth inning was the tangible and visible cause of the defeat, the fundamental reason for It was nine bases on balls. In the giving of which Cole, Richie and Brown were concerned. That was why six swats counted for one more run than did the twelve safe hits ripped off the delivery of three Infant hurlers by Chance's men.

He was In New York today purchasing baseball outfits for his charges and a suit of armor for the umpire. "Do you think that a team of feebleminded boys can be made to understand the intricacies of baseball?" asked an incredulous member of the board of directors when he asked for an appropriation for this purpose. "Oh, I don't intend to develop any Hal Chases or Ty Cobbs." said Dr. Little, "but I think we might turn out a good grade of umpires, if all I see in the papers is true."
