The Curse of Wrigley Field

April 23, 1907 at West Side Park
Cubs 4, Reds 3  (7-1)

The Cubs continued their red hot start with their fourth win in a row and their seventh win in the first eight games of the season.  The Cubs jumped out to a 4-2 lead with three runs in the third and while the Reds scored a single run in the third to make it a one run game, the 4-3 lead held as neither team scored the rest of the way.

Chick Fraser got the start but after giving up single runs in each of the first three innings, Frank Chance went to the pen and put in Carl Lundgren, who shut down the Reds and didn’t give up a hit in six innings of work.

At the plate, Jimmy Slagle had a big game.  He doubled twice, scored and drove in a run.
