For alf a dozen tantalizing rounds the Now Yorks were forced to accept zero after zero and chagrin, as <Chicago outfielders and inflelders cut up didoes and only two of the Giants’ batting efforts went to hits. For six disap- poining sessions the New York con- tenders looked about as beaten as any ball team could look, for while the Giants were being kept at bay the Cubs ‘were hitting Arthur Nehf with susto. Single tallies in the first, third and fourth innings had given to the Killfer clan an advantage which meemed destined to gain the day. The score: New York (N). & a Rawlings, 2b .
