SOUTH ENDS 4-NIAGARAS 0.
What was probably the best game
so far this season for the city league
resulted from the meeting of the
South Ends and the Niagaras at Buch-
tel field Saturday. 1t was truly
pitchers battle, and Watts worked as
he never worked before. Britain kept
up the good impression that he made
by his former work, and only in one
inning did he become wild. Then he
permitted three men to get to bases
on balls, but although the excitement
was intense, and, well directed effort
was made to confuse the youngster
still further, the Niagaras 4were. re-
tired to the field without a score. This
was the nearest they came to scoring
during the entire game, and although
they were the favorites in the specu-
lation that preceded the game, the
final score was 40, in favor of the
South Ends.
When the game began the crowd was
rather small, and it seemed for time
that the game would be failure fl
nancially, but they kept coming until
the granu stand was very we'll filed,
and few of the more enthusiastic
did their bantering from the ropes at
the side lines. Errors were rare, and
Bailey's miss of an easy one was more
than overshadowed by his thrilling
catch Of long drive with his left
hand, while the occupants of the grand.
stand stood up and yelled. Fedder-
son umpired the game, and although
1T is customary when a game has
proceeded to about the fourth inning
for some one to ask that the umpire
be killed, Fedderson's work was uni
formly fair and satisfactory, except
in one instance, when close decision
caused some kicking and few min.
utes' delay Of the game.
Niagaras were first Mt bat and the
side was retired in one, two, three or
der, stephens put out being followed
by catch Of Aliens foul fly, and
Kossuch was unable to beat a little
one to first. In the second Bailey's
long fly was caught by Shenk; vii
liams struck out, and Grille died al
second. $50 it went on until the first
half Of the seventh, with Niagara ir
no danger of scoring, but in this in
ming Britain became wild, and gave
three men bases on balls, after there
were two outs. He cooled down then
however, and the side was retired
without further danger.
For the South Ends, the men played
snappy ball, although they failed tc
locate Watts pitching with any de
gree of certainty, and he struck eigh
men. out during the game. Brownel
scored in the first and so did Chatfield
Brownell scored again in the sixth
and Chatfield scored in the eighth
Niagaras failed to score In the frs
half of the ninth, and the game wa.
ended.
The score:
South Ends. ....... 2 0 o OO1 l.
Niagaras .......0 0 o o o 90 O o.,
Britain plays a game beyond hi
years. The jolly that he gets from
the fans does not affect mis- work.
Watts is the butt of great deal o.
fun, but he divides honors will
Stephens.
That "press box" is more a promis,
than a reality, and consists of on,
swaying board, upon which from on,
to 1s excited youngsters lean ant
pound away while the distracted re
porter tries to record the game.
