LAVENDER PITCH
SECOND GfflE
CHICAGO. Aug 16.—Prepara
tions were made at the
Cubs' park today to handle
the biggest crowd that has ever
thronged the West Side battlefield.
The prospect of a decisive contest
between the. historic enemies—the
Giants and the Cubs —was expect
ed by President Murphy and his
erew to draw a crowd that would
make the fences bulge..
The fact announce* early in
the day that Christy Mathewson
would be on the mound for the
Giants and Jim Lavender for the
Cubs added to the interest of the
fans. Not in years has any series
here attracted as much attention
as the present one. In spite of the
Interest, there was no open bet
ting on the outcome of the day's
game, the series or the pennant
race.
Chicago won the opening game
of the series from New York, 5 to
1, driving Marquard out of the box
in the fifth and reducing New
York’s lead in the race for the Na
tional league pennant to five
games. It was estimated that 25,-
000 persons witnessed the contest.
Thousands had to be denied ad
mission to the park for lack of
space.
Marquard’s defeat came in the
fifth inning. With Archer out,
Richie singled and Sheckard walk
ed. Merkle got Schulte's fly. Tink
er drove a slashing double into the
right field crowd, scoring Richie.
Zimmerman sent a double to the
same spot,-bringing Sheckard and
Tinker home. Leach singled to
right, scoring Zimmerman, and
raced to second on Murray's throw
to the plate. He took third on a
wild pitch. Saier walked and Downs
hit safely to right, scoring Leach
and sending Saier to third.
Manager McGraw then sent
Crandall in to replace Marquard.
Archer lifted a fly to Murray, end
ing the inning.
Doubles by Murray and Merkle
scored New York’s only run in the
fourth inning. Murray opened the
Inning with a two-base hit, and
Merkle sent him home with a two
base drive Into right field. Merkle
went to third on Herzog's sacrifice,
but was caught between third and
home when Meyers drove the ball
at Zimmerman. Meyers then at
tempted to reach second, but Zim
merman relayed the ball to Downs,
catching Meyers ten feet from the
base.

SITTON TO HURL
FDR ATLANTA IN
MOBILE TOOM
MOBILE. Aug. is.—Sitton and
Reynolds vs-. Campbell and
Dunn are the batteries who
will probably „oik in the opening
game of the series between the
Crackers and Gulls here this after
noon Mobile still has a hunch that
their crew of jolly ball tossers will
cop the pennant anil the fans pre
dict that their favorites will clean
up the Atlanta aggregation.
Mike Finn's team is about 5o
points behind the leading Barons
today and that margin looks to be
big enough. But Finn has a con
fident bunch and they aie putting
up a great finish.
The Atlanta players are all
pleased over the fact that Bill
Smith is going to manage the
Crackers next season. “Whitey”
Alperman is a strong booster for
Smith and the present leader pre
dicts that William will give the
Gate City a winner in 1913.

Ty Cobb dropped o's a couple of points
in his batting yesterday by failing to
get over one hit in four attempts. But
Speaker didn t get a single blow in four
trips to the plate and dropped back
three points. Jackson, too, failed to
connect in four chances. It was a bad
cay for the three top men. Collins,
however, kept up his hitting streak,
which has been well over the .500 mark
for a'week, by garnering two safe swats
in three trials. Lajoie grabbed only
one hit in four times at bat.

effect on the game. Four champions

They are Heavyweight Champion Jack

The pessimist group believe that with
all these stars on the scene, with the
large amounts of money involved, cir
cumstances might arise which would
do a great deal of harm tn the sport if it
(lid ont kill it altogether. if serious
punishment should be inflicted in .any
