An error by the usually reliable Jimmy Dykes provided the break that gave the Cubs a chance to take the third game of the series and put Chicago back into the running.

The score was 3 to 1. The break came in the sixth inning after the Athletics had taken a one-run lead, which it seemed ould be enough behind Earnshaw's great pitching. ERROR PROVES COSTLY. The misplay on the part of Dykes came on the easiest sort of a chance. It was not so much the error that provided the big opportunity but rather the situation it created.

Bush moved forward more or less serenely to a notably achieved victory during which he rose to his highest weights when the pressure was most severe, which was a fine tribute to the young man's grit.

The principals will be the popular Buck McTiernan of Swrissvale and Tony Ross of Pittsburgh, who have agreed to weigh in at the figure quoted above.

Their meeting should be a hectic one. McTiernan was very active in local rings last year, but he was stricken with illness and has been out of it for five months.
