CUBS CONFIDENT TODMMS MBICK AGO, Aug. 17. Whether the Cubs can reduce the Giants’ lead in the National league pennant race to five games, or whether the Giants can in crease it to seven, was the one top ic that was discussed at everv breakfast table in Chicago today. The city has gone baseball mad and no world's series contests ever awakened more discussion or more partisan feeling than the present series between the ancient enemies of the big league. That Johnny Evers will be back in the game today was a delight to the Chicago fans. They are count ing on the little second baseman to do wonders in the contest. That “Lurid Lew" Richie, who won the first game of the series for the Cubs, would be on the mound for Chance's men with Christy Math ewson doing the heavy work for the Giants was the program of the leaders early in the morning. An other enormous crowd was expect ed at. the contest. With Tesreau pitching in fine form. New York Chi igo, 7 to 4, yesterday and evened up the series. The big right-handed pitcher held Chicago to three hits until the ninth inning, while New York drove two pitchers out of the box early in the game. New York forced Jimmy Laven der. who started the game for Chi cago. to retire before he had pitched tw o Innings. Tit n R< ulbai h was sent in. but gave way to Cheney in the seventh after New York had made four hits off him. New York got a run off Cheney in the eighth and he was relieved by Toney in th? ninth. lesreau was given brilliant sup port. Murray made two sensation al catches, running back into the crowd and pulling down drives that otherwise would have gone for two base hits. New York ran wild on the bases, stealing six off Archer and one off Cotter. T>o you want to change jobs? Perhaps the one rou have doesn't suit your taste.

Aug. 17.-De termined to get square for the defeat of yesterday, the ' Gulls will go after the Crackers with vengeance this afternoon. Just when the local team looked to be still in the race for the pennant. ' Whitey Atperman's Atlanta crew took a fine, young tumble out of 'em. Hence this afternoon plenty of warm doings at the local pas ture. Brady w ill probably do the hurl ing for the Crackers today. The big fellow is going good right now and he may pull his team through to another victory. Mike Finn an nounced that Cavet would be on , the mound for his jolly ball tos«ers. The Crackers made Campbell i look like a selling plater yester day when he hooked up with Ted der Sitton in the first game of the , series, which Atlanta won. 7 to 2 , It did not take long to discover that Sitton had Mobile's goat, ns was exemplified in the fact that the locals got only one scratch and one clean single in the first six Innings, while the Crackers ’had slammed Campbell safely seven times during that same space of time, two of the seven being doubles The Crackers took kindly to Campbell's assortment and iianW m»red the ball through the Infield i like rifle shots, and then over their heads to all parts of the pasture where the fielders were not; and the score would have been much i larger had it not been for the phe nomenal fielding of Maloney, who ■ captured at least two seeming triples running with the ball. Lyons' left-handed stab of Pau let's drive to the right-field fence in the seventh was easily the fea ture. and beat Mobile out of a cou ple of runs, men being on second and third at the time Alperman's' fielding and hitting was another feature.
