The Curse of Wrigley Field

April 16, 1908 at the Palace of the Fans
Cubs 7, Reds 4  (2-0)

The Reds scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to put a little bit of a scare into the Cubs but it wasn’t nearly as enough as Chicago started their season 2-0.  Carl Lundgren picked up the win with a complete game.  He gave up four runs on six hits and six walks with three strikeouts in the contest.

Jimmy Sheckard had a nice game at the plate.  He went three for four with three runs.  Frank Schulte singled, doubled and scored a pair of runs.
