"All Stars Win Second. - All-Stars, With Sanders Pitching, Beat Giants in Final Game, 8 to 3. - The offerings of Roy Sanders proved too much for the Chicago Giants and Cot Tierney's All Stars made it two straight in the final game of the series yesterday at Association Park, 8 to 3. A crowd of five thousand persons saw the game. In the first inning the Giants started off with two runs but from then on until the ninth only one man reached third base. The visitors made their other counter in the ninth on three hits. Sanders struck out thirteen Giants and in seven of the nine innings he had them eating out of his hand. John Donaldson, who was scheduled to work for the Chicago team, developed a Charley Horse and Whitworth was sent to the mound. The All Stars took a liking to the curves of Whitworth in the first inning and counted a run. In the second they added two more and clinched the victory by scoring five in the fourth. A double by Jocks DeFate, with the bases loaded featured the All Stars' rally. DeFate was the first batter to face Dave Brown after Whitworth has been derricked. Two runs were in and the bases loaded with none out when DeFate delivered his pinch hit, Brown settled down after the fourth and allowed only three hits and fanned seven in the remaining innings, in a preliminary game the Peet Brothers trounced the Murdocks, 13 to 2. Meeker pitched for the Peet Brothers. The Giants and the All Stars may meet in a third game at Association Park next Sunday."
