TURNED INTO DEFEAT
Chambers Cyclones Had the Game
cInched I'D to the eth inning.


Tuesday afternoon on the South
Third street diamond was deserving
of all the enthusiasm it received.
The score was closer than that of any
other game played here in some
time. There were better hits and
more thrilling catches and stops.
The players showed more energy
neither side was willing to show
down until the contest was over.
The erstwhile Banners have chris
tened themselves the Cyclones, and
and are now managed by Mr.. H. S.
Chambers. The team that has repre-
scented the Star now style themsel-
YES the Whirlwinds, and it was a
whirlwind finish they gave the spec
tatOrs in the ninth inning. With the
score three to nothing they came to
the bat in their half of the ninth in
ming, and before the side had been
retired they had sent four men
across the rubber, winning the game.
The Cyclones made more safe hits
than the Whirlwinds, but they also
made more errors, and most of them
were costly. They seemed compare
lively safe until the ninth inning,
but baseball is an uncertain game.
The Whirlwinds were rallied and the
Cyclones were ratified. Both pitchers
did remarkable work, and fielded
their position well. Clark, however,
had the better support. His fielders
pulled down several long drives that
looked like they would count.
First Inning Whirlwinds to the
bat. Vogt made three graceful fans
at the ball and missed Scott was
sent to first on a free ticket, and
Jewett hit to second where the ball
was fumbled. Both remained on
these bases while Liddell and Wheel
er struck out. The Cyclones did
better. Ford drove long one to
Cole who hung to it. Harris hit to
left field for two bases, took the third
sack on a passed ball, and ambled
home when Bullock hit safely past
short. Peyser hit to pitcher and
forced Bullock out at second. Bar
field retired the side with a pop-fly
to pitcher.
Second inning Martin made first
on MoOre's error. Cole rode to first
on a free pass, Sullivan braced him
self for a long hit, but only missed
the sphere. Clark hit to Moore and
forced Martin out at third. VOgt
ended the inning by hitting to first.
For the Cyclones Camp hit for one
base. Ford was substituted to run for
him and stole the second and third
stations, Brewer hit high fly to
Jewett who stuck his hooks into it.
Anderson vainIy tried to hit the ball
and famed. Clark threw four wide
ones to Moore who paraded down to
first. 1t was Ford's bat so Bullock
was put in to run for Camp. Moore
stole second and Liddell tried to
throw him out, and Bullock Tailed
when Jewett returned the ball with
poor throw. Ford ended the agony
by striking out.
There were no further runs scored
during the next five innings. Many
of the batters were moved down at
the plate on strikes as grass before
the reaper. In the seventh inning
after two were out, Wheeler hit to
Moore, who fumbled the ball, but
luck was with the pitcher, who in
trying to recover the ball bowled it
to Anderson, retiring Wheeler.

second. Liddell hit a long fly to

into two bases, but was thrown out.
