Ed Walsh, Comiskey's greatest pitcher, was opposed by Orvie Overall, hurling one of the great games of his career. The Cubs had taken two games and the White Sox one. The South Blders needed this game to tie up the series. Both Walsh and Overall were difficult to hit on that day, but the great spltball pitched was a trifle wild at the start, very unusual for af slabblst numbering control as one oft his reliable assets.

The Cubs had dribbled In two runs in the first and third innings and the White Sox had counted a single run in the fourth. Walsh had settled down to his matchless pace In which he was practically hltless. The. hope of the Cubs lay in holding their advantage. Chance gave orders for his men to play for every ounce of energy they possessed and encouraged "Big Jeff" to keep up the good work against the.

Manager Sullivan lifted a flyi to Sheckard. Walsh surprised Overall by reaching out and swinging on a wide one for a single over second. Overall was in a tight place when he had three balls on Altlzer, but steadied and put over two strikes. Altizer bit the next ball pitched for a single to left center, Walsh pulling up to third.

As Isbell came up the signal was flashed for the squeeze play. Overall 'pitched to cut the outer edge, Isbell swung on the ball and Walsh dashed for home. It was a hard grounder down the first base foul line. Divining his opponent's intentions, Chance did not hesitate what to do in the crisis. The Cubs' leader dashed out, fielded the ball In a flash, wheeled and whipped It to the plate.

Kling received the sphere a few feet to the left of the home base and tagged Walsh sliding (to the plate. That bit of quick fielding and thinking probably saved the pennant for the Cubs. Had Chanoe wished to play safe by tagging Isbell, Walsh would have scored the tying run and the great pitcher had already settled dowq for one nip. famous extra inning duels.
