innings, the Tigers won out by a
series of lucky hits, |

The Cubs had much the best
of the play until the ninth, when,
with the score six to three, the -
Tigers made three’ runs, for
which hits and errors were equal-
ly responsible. There wag no
further scoring until the thir-
teenth, when the regulars man-
aged to secure acomfortable lead
of five runs, while the Cubs only
managed one in their half.

-In his work for the Cubs,

Graham Rock again demonstrat-

ed his all-round ability. He
charged three strikes - against

22 men, and had two put outs .
and five.assists to his credit. --At- -
bat six times, he made two sin-
xles and two two-base hits, walk-

ing once,
