The Browns took the second game with a ninth inning rally, 3-2 A home rnn by Babe Herman, Brooklyn substitute, put the skids | under the Chicago Cubs, National league leaders.

One more victory will clinch the pennant for the Smalley street boys. Herman Schmarr held the losers to two singles, both of wifich came in the first inning, while he and his team- mates piled up 20 hits and 28 stolen bases, to which total the Nathan Hale players added by contributing 17 errors. A single by Jaworskl, Flood's passed ball after Amenta struck out, and a hit by Samsel gave the losers a run in the first inning, but in the second three hits, including Chest- er's triple, gave four runs to the Paradise Park team. After that the game was merely a slaughter, ten runs being scored in the fourth frame, when 14 men went to bat. A dozen batted in the fifth and 11 in the sixth. In this late frame Kle- packi had relieved Golas, He al- lowed no hits, but passes and er- re the winners seven runs off his delivery. Golas went back into the box in the last frame. The los- er's last two runs were scored through errors by Chester. Flood and Mehlor featured with four hits apiece. The box score: PARADISE PARK R L PO A B Flood, ¢ . 2 Chester, s Baylock, O'Brien, ?

Colllers Win Tight Game { Golas won a verdict over Klopp |as the Cplliers defeated the Phan- toms, 3 to 2. The contest was a pitchers’ battle from start to finish, | with Golas having a slight edge due to his ability to tighten in pinches. On two occasions with the bases full and one out, Golas turned the losers back without scoring. He doubled to open the eighth and scored shortly after with the tying run. The losers scored one run in the first. Sokoloskl reached second for the Phantoms in the first inning when Cabay threw wild to first after fielding his grounder. He scored when Levine singled to right center. No further scoring\was done by either team until the seventh, when each counted once. The Phantoms scored when Levine reached first on an error by Potkay. A sacrifice by Morey, and a triple by Klopp scored him. Klopp was thrown out at the plate when he tried to stretch his hit into a home run. A single by Cabay, his steal ot second, and a one base blow by Ha- ber gave the winners their first score (Continued on following page.) -DORE THE ROUGH WILD WAYS OF Tue MEN -+ They SEEm B E SO MUCH mMoRe N MON WITH EACH .OTHER THAN THE women
