Before a crowd that completely sur
rounded the field. packed in back to the
streets more than twenty deep. and num-
bering about 1900, Bethany won the
pennant IN the Sunday School League.
by defeating Ninth TO 0.
Lefty Litchheid was again on the
mound for the Baptists; and while he
twirled a creditable game. it was not
up 70 his usual standard. and he hard
ly deserved 10 win. Besides allowing
six hits. which were punched in three
innings. he passed three men and felded
his position in a miserable manner.
Buscher. who served them over for the
Christians. had plenty Of speed. and al
lowed only four hits, three OF which
came in the first round, giving Bethany
their two runs.
Ninth started off in the first inning Ike
a house ahre, Walter making a clean sin
gle TO right Quanrelle following with
safe bunt down the first-base line, Barn
hart filling the sacks when Litchfield FUN
bied his bunt With none down. Buehler
hit a grounder 10 short. and Walter was
forced at the plate. Salb made a pop fy
to third. and Stecher ballooned to left.
making the third out.
Bethany Scores Two.
Coleman opened the first inning for
Bethany by singing 10 left but Spaulding
forced him at second. Buscher TO Buehler.
Spaulding took second on a wild pitch.
and on DOdd's asingle to center was de-
clared safe al home on a close decision
Dodd went to second on the throw-in. and
70 third on bIenefee's out at first. and
scored the second run, when Umpire
Venable called Sheaffer safe at first. al
though he was a close second to the ball
Dugan walked. but woodward ended the
first round with a pop fly 20 the pitcher.
Ninth had many chances not only TO
tie the game. but 10 win it. Aside from
the first session. when they had three
men on the sacks and none out. they had
a man on first and second IN the fourth.
with none down. and again In the fifth
they had two on bases with one out but
could not score. In the third inning they
might have done something but for Ven
abie's bad decision on first in calling
Barnhart out. for Buehler and Salb both
followed with singles.
The Christians had eleven men left on
base. and two put out between third and
home. IL would not be fair 10 say that
II was dumb work on the bags. for #
seemed that every play they attempted
10 pull OF failed; but such IS the luck Of
baseball
