Weaver contributed a two-base wild throw on Veach. White's best heaving came in the fourth inning. A -hit. and an error put men on first and second with two out. Doc was unacquainted with the weaknesses of Oscar Vitt, the Ti gers diminutive second-sacker, and franked him to first on four straight balls. This filled the sacks and brought up Stanage, the slugging catcher. Then Doc gave a wily ex hibition. He put a slow one over the heart of the plate and followed it with a fast one inside which Stanage missed. White took 'his time on the next pitch. With the same wind-up he used for his fast ball, Dos floated, the pill up to the plate so slowly that the "seams were visible. Stanage almost broke his back swinging, and the ball dropped in Ted Easterly's glove fof the third strike and out. Criticising a player after he has made two doubles and a single, one of the two-baggers driving in a run, may sound peculiar, but we were not pleased with the work of Babe Bor ton. His double, following Collins' two-bagger in the fifth, hit the fence by the flag-pole in left field. It miss ed being a home run by an inch. At that, Borton with any kind of run ning would have reached third. In the seventh Borton raised a fly to" left field which Bush reached but could not hold. Babe should have gone to second, but ioafed and was unable to pass the first station. Hav ing reached second by means of his first double in the second inning, Babe had a swell chance to score when Hall hit the grandstand with an erratic shoot. He pulled up at third and was left there. The Sox need a iittle more daring on the bases. Davy Jones was passed four times, being the recipient of half of Hall's generosity. He scored once when Weaver sacrificed and Rath singled. After throwing the ball away in the ninth Weaver made a heady play. Moriarity was on first, after scoring Vcach with a siijgj M$ started tq steal and White made a wild pitch past Easterly. Buck vpretende3 hei was taking a thrpw and bunked Mor tality into sliding. He could easily have reached third, and would haver made the double play, which finished the game, impossible. It was quick-, thinking by Weaver. John Evers got out of Cincinnati without losing a game. The best Tinker could do was tie the last one., Lefty Pjerce made his first start of the season for the Cubs, and acted like a regular pitcher for six innings. In that time lie had been hit safely three times. The Reds' sole run was scored on a wild throw by Safer. The first man up in the seventh sirfgled and Lefty1 passed the next. Evers promptly lifted the youngBter, injecting Jimmy Lavender into the fray. He gave one hit in the seventh and the Reds scored their second run. In the eighth the first two men to face Lavender singled. This finished Jim, and Larry Cheney was rushed in to do his daily rescue stunt. He passed the first man and stocked the bases. A force out gave Cincinnati a run, but Evers saved the danger ous situation by stabbing a line' fly and turning a double play. . Cincinnati tied the score in the ' ninth on a pass and Bates' third homerin three days. The game was called to allow the Reds to catch a train for St Louis. Five of the- Cub hits were bunched in the fifth inning to score five, runs. This finished Works, Johnson' and Smith, a young semi-pro, completing the mound work for the Reds. Cly mer poled a single and double. Thisis an idle day for the Cubs. They open a two-game series in Pittsburgh tomorrow. Walter Johnson held Boston .to two hits, and Washington went into first place in the American League' by pounding Ray Collins for 12 hits, including a double and three triples.
