The Cubs suffered their worst defeat of the season in the fourth game in two days as Chick Fraser and Ed Reulbach were knocked around for a combined thirteen runs.  Even worse, while they gave up sixteen hits, they also dealt out eleven free passes in the contest.

Jimmy Sheckard provided the bulk of the Cubs offense in the loss.  He went two for five with a double and a homerun.
