Base Ball YESTERDAY
The EIks Knocked Out

The lie that Binds has been brok-
en-. The final heat in the great fratern-
al race was run at Carrilo's Garden yes
terday afternoon. 1t was get-away day
and free-for-all at that. The go.as-you
please plan was adopted at the drop of
the flag and the field was jockeyed to a
finish. The old "Workhorse'' finally took
the pole and came under the wire on the
eighth lap fifteen lengths to the good.
The shades of night were falling fact in
the vicinity of the gardens W hen the Elks
were handed their trimmings by the Red
1anigers and sent down to the club
house to ponder about the uncertainty
OF the great national sport. Willie Hog
woods midsummer nights dream is
DER. These many nights he has been
turning over in his fevered brain the
scenes of his triumph and picturing the
antlered tribe at his feet. 1t all came
true yesterday afternoon as if it were
read from out the good book and Capt
Willie and each of his hoary handed
Workmen LETT the gardens in triumph
with beautiful pair of Antlers in his
belt. 1t was cruel to break that sweet
forget me knot which satisfied a
thousand enthusiastic fans but one week
before, in this manner but dame fortune
had willed it so and it could not be other
wise.
1t really was a shame to see the
Antlered herd slaughtered in the open
without even the shelter of sappling
There was no laying down however.
They held their heads ON high and trot-
ted out into the field each round with
brave front. Never until they were sur
rounded, crippled and overwhelmed did
they begin to show signs of heart failure.
They blazed the runaways with the in-
shoots from the old Hawkes. wing and
used all the speed which nature gave
them to make the rounds. But what
could the poor Purpletes do against the
Labor day excursions which Capt. Will
lie Hogwood promoted? On the square
he made regular picnic grounds out of
the home plate and every other inning
sent bunch of six around the circuit on
special. The man ON the score board
became exhausted from oyerwork and
the registration was then put On an
eight-hour shift. III
The performance at the gardens was
"wake"-ful affair for Elkdom. Five OF
their star twirlers were laid to rest be-
fore the fatal eighth rolled around.
"Long Bill'' Angus was selected to do
the deceiving for the first, couple of in
nings. "Long Bill" has one of these in
clined-plane deliveries to which the bat
ter is inclined to take kindly. He gets
the bend in his body instead Of into the
ball, and as a result he took country
school in right field after the fifth. Cal
lahan, the Elk with his "paw" on the
left side was substituted. His perform.
ance was very brief. He seemed to have
it in for the grand stand and aimed some
vicious ones at it's solar now and then.
He was as liberal as usual with his
passes. Sigfried took a trial at getting
them over and then Campbell took to
mesmerizing the batters. The eighth
opened with the old war horse, Harry
Drachman, in the box. If the game had
lasted long enough the whole Elk team
would have been given try out in the
box.
The game was regular swat-fest for
the Workmen. They had their willow
clothes on and they limbered them up
at any and all times. The A O. U. w.
tielded poorly, but their batting did the
trick. The old Hawke with the eagle
eye and the mighty wing was there for
eight innings. He won his game practi-
cally alone as his support was rotten.
The teams on the whole played
poorer game yesterday than they did a
week before. The Elks were weak at the
at but felded reasonably we'll.
The two teams lined up as follows:
A. O. Z. W-Morris 3b, Hawke p,
Adams rf, Greggs 1b, Collier 2b, Paeho
