AN INTERNATIONAL ARRAY OF

S A H A R A Nim

AMAZEMENTS

In spite of President Tom Lynch's edict airtilnst Evers, Rube Marquard's pitching prowess, Jimmy Archer's bruised arm and several other things, the Cubs maintained their rampant race yesterday and whaled the New York Giants In the opening game of the series at the west side park, 5 to 1. The Chicago team Is now only five games from first place, which fact must have caused many a shudder last night In little old New York. The crowd was tremendous, fully 25,000 persons gathering to see the old rivals In combat. The victory was decisive and more thrilling than anything that has, happened at the west side since the summer of 1908. Rube Marquard, the wonderful southpaw, who seems to have worn himself out making early season records, was on the mound, opposed by Lurid Lew Richie, the renowned Giant killer. Richie was In a killing mood and was splendid from start to finish, while the lanky . Rube was battered down and out by a slather of base hits In the fifth Inning, when the Cubs scored their five tallies. The tall Rube was taken off the mound and

Otis Crandall called up to finish the game.

Washington, D. C. 'Ausr. 16. When

Red Kuhn, In the last half of the tenth Inning, with a runner on third base, the score tied and one out, fired the ball high over Zelder's head a couple of parasanRg down the left foul line, he completed tossing off a game which the White Sox began handing Washington in the first Inning. The final count was 4 to 3. With anything like the support given CIcotte in Wednesday's scrap. Doc White would have been an easy victor over Cashlon in regulation time, because the Senators never would have scored a run. An Ivory play by Collins, who ran in front of Rath after the first ball hit and tried to make the putout himself, gave the locals their first run. Wild throws by Rath and Easterly produced a pair In the sixth. Still the Sox managed to' keep In the game with a help of a base on balls. Collins' single and Easterly's two-base hit In the fourth. That com

bination produced two runs. The tally necessary to carry the game into extra rounds was due to pair of boots by

Eddie Foster and a two-base squeeze play.
