Four Hits and Errors Net 7 Runs and Victory Over Cubans, 12 to 4.
Tampa, Fla.. March 1. For six innings of their second game in th- in
ternational series for the All Havana
Smoke pennant. Cubs and Cubans play
ed a nice major league match yester
day, with the store 3 to 0 in favor of
the United States, then things went to
rack and ruin and the finish was 12 to
4, with the Cubf on top. A distinguished senor named Fer
nandez, whose ancestry goes back to
the most aristocratic Castiliun castles
was pitted against the Trojans, and his
left-handed offering had them well tamed during the first half of the battle. They would not have scored a run oft him if his support had been equal to his hurling. But the constant use
of a curve ball not only wore out his
arm, but also enable the Cubs to learn
how to estimate in advance the perl
phery of Its average parabola, and the
rest was easy.
Totals 1.001 912 1,069 2,992 Although five teams from Chlcgab were on the alleys in the first squad here last night none did anything worth mentioning. The Imperial Council. N. U., No. 1, led the Windy City teams with 2,510, with the Radtke Colts second with 2.431. A 222 count by Brece was the highest mark made by the Chlcagoans. F. Johnson scored 217 In his second game.
