Christy Mathewson tops Cubs  Cy Seymour loses HR to Prevailing rules

1907 – Chicago’s Carl Lundgren and New York’s Christy Mathewson are stingy today with the Cubs twirler allowing just four hits while the Cubs scratch three off Matty. The Giants score in the 4th when Cy Seymour parks a drive in the bleachers with two on. Prevailing rules make the hit a single, with just one run scoring: it is enough as Matty wins, 1 – 0. Joe Tinker is hitless against Matty, the only time this year that Mathewson shuts down his nemesis.
