| Cubs Win Streak Reaches 6 | The first-place Chicago Cubs took on the New York Giants in front of a spirited crowd.
The Chicago Cubs called upon starter Buttons Briggs, and he delivered, leading his team to victory over the New York Giants, 5-2. The first-place Cubs have won 6 straight.
The Giants had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Cubs going into the bottom of the third inning. That changed quickly when the six-time All-Star Jimmy Sheckard came to the plate. Sheckard hit a run-scoring double on a full count fastball from New York hurler Speed Martin. It was Sheckard's 16th double of the year.
Sheckard attributed the win to "a well-rounded effort by the whole team."
