Chicago kept their hopes alive today by winning the third game of the 1915 Presidents Cup Series.

Boots Groat, the second baseman of the Grays put together a great game, going 3 for 5, but it wasn't enough to overcome Chicago pitcher Erwin Monson. The southpaw gave up eleven hits and four earned run through nine innings, just good enough to pull out the win.

Up 6-3 going into the last inning, Monson got a bit too confident but also didn't get a ton of help from his defenders. An error, a walk, and then a single scored one, then another single drove home a second run.

But Monson, with a runner on second and one out, buckled down and struck out a batter and then forced an easy flyout to center field to clinch the victory.
