CHAMPIONSHIP '96
G0ES TO THE STARS
Pitcher Woods Plays Out at
End of Sixth inning.
LARGE CROWD N ATTENDANCE.
Hoo5iumism Left out-Policemen Keep the
Crowds Quiet-Two or Three Accidents
Change the Results-Some Good Playing
or Both Teams-EHthusiasm at the Close.

Nearly one thousand interested per-
sons witnessed the deciding game be-
tween the Stars and First Regiments
Saturday afternoon, and it required six
stalwart policemen TO keep 700 of the
excited individuals from cracking their
voices in shouting for the regiment
team. The absence of hoodlumism and
consequent vulgar remarks was notice
able, and the game made more enjoy
able in consequence.
Beyond slight disagreement on the
question of privilege taken by Captain
Baker to jolt Pitcher Hart as the former
crossed the home plate, the game was
delightfully."- harmonious and the regi-
ment lost the game and the boys their
coin with good grace. There were
couple of accidents, which delayed the
game in all about twenty minutes; one
TO Cunha, which though not of a seri-
GUS nature, contributed toward the re-
suit of the contest. Willis of the Stars
collided with Cummings, which for
a time looked as if the Stars would have
to put a substitute in his place, but he
pulled himself together and by excel
lent batting helped materially to pile
up the runs for his club. Cunha's mis-
hap was in having the flesh near his
thumb nail knocked off, SO that he
could not throw to second, and in try
ing TO put man out he was obliged to
throw to the pitcher and depend on him
to get the ball to second before the run
ner-an act in which the runner was
generally successful.
Up TO the end of the sixth inning the
game was remarkably good, but George
Woods arm gave out then and Sinner
son took his place. This was the sign
ing of the warrant which gave the game
and the championship to the Stars. The
ball was numerically batted all over
the field, and the batter who put the
ball TO center field, where Geo. Woods
played, was safe for two or three bases.
Even in the box George was off his
feed; his in or out curves were not any
more of a success than his up and
down shoots. If he had played as well
as he did in his first game with the
regiment, the greybacks would be cele-
brating a victory instead of suffering
under the lash of defeat.
