Game five was a straight forward contest that was rather uneventful. Chicago got out to an early 3-0 lead, each run scored easily on a single.

Philadelphia never put together anything. There best inning other than the last was the top of the third, when a single, an error, and walk loaded the bases. But a fly out and a strikeout left the three runners on base.

Chicago's pitcher, Ludwig, pitched an excellent game. He allowed eight hits, two walks, and struck out seven in his nine innings.

Tomorrow, they'll play one more in Chicago. If the Orphans win, they will be crowned the 1916 Presidents Cup Champions.
