Blueheld had the game cinched
until the sixth inning when things
for the locals certainly went decom-
posed. Pcllard's arm giving out. but
was forced 90 finish the inning on
account of neither Reese or Drewry
being in condition. and when the
smoke had cleared Bramwell had
the game, championship and nine
runs. Reese was then put in to
finish the game, and held them down

That Bluefeld lost the series is no
disgrace TO the Blue City, taking into
consideration the fact that we were
up against an aggregation Of high
salaried artists from all over the
country, who play the game from the
word go. The team recently de-
feated was a team of the most gen
tlemanly ball players possible to get
together and while the management
was selecting ball players also Sc
lected characters. and Manager Kel-
ley deserves the congratulations Of
all the fans for his pickings.
There has been throughout the
entire season one continued wransIe
between che fans and the manage
ment, the former never taking into
consideration that players do not
be forthcoming from those who blew
themselves mp as loyals but would
have to be tagged to, be designated
from the average spectator. and It
is hoped next year that when
we have a new park in South Blue
field that both factions will get to-
gether, hold a first class funeral
over their hammers and play the
game for the sport
