Game 1 in Chicago, October 18th 1910
Mordecai Brown (25-17, 2.33) v Walter Johnson (26-17, 2.01)

Big shoes to fill, Waddell’s, but the Cubs don’t lose much with Brown stepping into them. Train had a poor ’09 Series and will be keen to atone.

And atone he does, limiting the potent Chicago bats to just 2 hits while fanning 8 in a dominant performance. After conceding an early run, the Sens take control and never look in danger, as catcher George Gibson and left-fielder Jimmy Walsh each drive in 2. Four errors by the hosts do not help their cause.

Senators 7, Cubs 2
BOX SCORE

Game 2 in Chicago, October 19th 1910
Hippo Vaughn (15-11, 2.47) v Jack Pfiester (24-12, 2.42)
Senators lead series 1-0

The pitchers hold sway before this game comes alive late. The Sens go ahead with a run in both the 4th and 6th, but the home side returns serve with a 3-spot in the 7th, chasing Pfiester. Jimmy Dygert gives the visitors 3 scoreless innings in relief and the bats do the rest, rallying with 4 in the 8th, with a 2-run double by Chick Gandil the key hit. Jackson drives in 3 as the Sens go home well and truly in control of their own destiny. Hippo Vaughn is valiant in defeat, but his defence lets the side down again with 7 errors, meaning all 6 of the Senators’ runs are unearned.

Senators 6, Cubs 3
BOX SCORE

Game 3 in Washington, October 21st 1910
Norwood Gibson (17-11, 2.39) v Jack Cronin (14-6, 2.33)
Senators lead series 2-0

The Cubs show all the gumption you’d expect of a successful club like theirs, never giving up in this one to earn a huge road win and drag themselves back into the Series.

Things look grim for a good portion of the game for the visitors, with Washington leading 3-2 after 7. But Gibson flags and the Cubs pounce with 4 in the top 8th on a Jim Doyle pinch-hit grand slam, and Sam Frock closes it out.

Cubs 6, Senators 3
BOX SCORE

Game 4 in Washington, October 22nd 1910
Walter Johnson (1-0, 1.74) v Mordecai Brown (0-1, 6.23)
Senators lead series 2-1

An absolute classic here as Johnson and Brown fight to a no-decision and the Cubs win it in spares.

The teams swap early runs but then the pitchers regain the ascendancy, with it still tied 1-1 after regulation. The Cubs always look the more likely to score, and eventually go ahead in the 10th on an RBI single by Wildfire Schulte. Frock is magnificent once again in relief, earning the win with 3 scoreless as this Series is tied at 2 and guaranteed of a return to the Windy City.

Cubs 2, Senators 1 (10 innings)
BOX SCORE

Game 5 in Washington, October 23rd 1910
Jack Pfiester (1-0, 1.29) v Hippo Vaughn (0-1, 0.00)
Series tied 2-2

Undoubtedly the key game in this contest, although it ends up being a no-contest as the Cubs stun the home side with a clinical win.

Once again Chicago scores early with a run in the 1st, and they pad their lead with 2 more in the 3rd. The Sens creep closer with one in the 5th but the Cubs put them away with a deuce in the 7th and one more just to be sure in the 9th. Tinker is huge for the Cubs with 4 RBI, while Zimmerman goes 5-for-5 and Vaughn is superb, and you’d have to like your chances now if you are a Cubs fan.

Cubs 6, Senators 1
BOX SCORE

Game 6 in Chicago, October 25th 1910
Ed Reulbach (16-7, 2.11) v Norwood Gibson (0-1, 7.04)
Cubs lead series 3-2

No more tomorrows for the Senators, and the Cubs make a late change by bringing Reulbach in to start this crucial game.

It doesn’t prove the masterstroke Chicago were undoubtedly looking for, but it matters not as the Cubs reign supreme again, winning the franchise’s fourth Championship with a dogged 4-3 victory in front of 16000 adoring Chicagoans.

All the action happens early in this one, with the home side answering Washington’s pair of runs in the top 5th with three of their own in the bottom half to take a 4-3 lead they never surrender. Zimmerman stars again, and is rightfully named MVP, and you have to wonder how the Senators are going to bounce back from this setback, when they looked in complete control after the first couple games, only to be unable to get it done.

Cubs 4, Senators 3
BOX SCORE

CHICAGO CUBS WIN SERIES 4-2.
SERIES MVP: Heinie Zimmerman (Chicago)
