MMN UNO 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. APPALACHIAN LEAGUE. Games Today. Asheville in Cleveland.
