The National Printers League tourney
closed yesterday with the New York
typos champions when Manager Bill
Bailey and his henchmen put Chicago
down and out in a hard hitting contest,
II 10 8.
This victory gives the New Workers
the right 10 retain the Hermann cup FOR
one year. New York landed the trophy
last summer by trimming this same Chi
.cago club.
The Westerners were bitterly disap-
pointed, as they came 70 Washington
confident Of winning out. On form they
had the best team. and with a stronger
pitching stan would have won easily.
Southpaw Richter who made the Pitts
burg club look foolish last Tuesday was
expected TO down the New Workers. Rich
ter started out ni&ly and for two in
nings was backed up by gilt-edged sup
port. Then came errors; infelders boot
ed the ball and threw wild 70 bases, out
helders dropped flies. Richter worried
along until tie NTH, when he lost heart
and retired in favor OF Gavin.
Costly Errors by Chicago.
Chicago made almost as many errors
as New York did runs, and all bur three
miscues fsured in the Gothamites' hunt
FOR runs. While Chicago used Two pitch
ers New York managed 10 get along with
only one. He was waIlopei for fifteen
hits, but the men behind him put up a
stone wall defense, and time after time
choked off promising batting rallies b.
fast work.
An unfortunate accident happened 70
Aherns. the pIucky little Chicago catch
CT. in the seventh. when foul tip split
the feshy part OF his right thumb and he
had to quit the game.
After Richter had held New York run
less for two innings the Gothamites
opened Up on him in the third with
vengeance. Johnson was safe on Rich
ter's error. ". Bund drew a ticket.
Fisher singled, scoring Johnson. and
Roach drove safely 10 right, sending n
Bond. on Hagan's inheld tap, which
forced Roach, Fisher crossed the plate
Previous 10 this Chicago had scored
TWO runs. one in the first and one in
the second. New York went 10 bat first
in the fifth and made life miserable for
Richter, four hits, coupled with two er-
rors, scoring four runs; then Richter was
chased to the bench and Gavin brought
in from center field TO do the twirliug.
One run was scored of Gavin before the
side was retired.
Chicago Adds Run.
A three-bagger by Gavin and Ander-
sons error added another run 20 Chi
Cages total in the sixth. but New York
tackled on three in the other half and
followed this Up with the same number
in the seventh and eighth
Anderson was hit hard in Chicag0s
seventh. five safe swats producing four
runs, but IN the last two stanzas Andy
settled down and permitted no more lib
critics.
There was a big crowd out and the
roofing was great. All the Western clubs
and their followers fanked the south
side OF the grand stand and behind the
Chicago bench and yelled for the Windy
City tribe. New York was royalty sup
ported by the Eastern delegations, just
across the way
The New York and Boston teams left
last night for Richmond. where they
viii be the guests OF the y Richmond
printers in an exhibition game this aft
ernoon. Then the teams leave FOR New
York via the water route.
