THE Calls baseball team

is the champion aggrega-

league. The championship
was won from the News nine
yesterday afternoon in the
best played and most exciting
game of the series. The Calls
sluggers came up with a great
finish and hammered three
runs across ere the bewildered
News men had chance to re-
alize what was happening.
Five hundred fans, most of
them employed on the various
local papers, were there to
root. Each team had its own
admirers, but it seemed that
they were all Call rooters
when the winning runs came
ocking over the pan. The
cheering could be. heard half
way down town.
The great gameness and
fighting ability which the Call
tossers showed won them the
game. When they came up
for their last turn at the bat,
the News was there, 6 to 4,
an it looked rather tough for
the Call. However, the best
batters were coming up and
the rooters felt confident that
some sort of a rally would be
pulled off.

Captain Bob Mclaughlin as
he took his position on the
coaching line at third base.

The News had last licks at
the bat and when Laird, the
first man, led off with a pretty
single, it began to look bar
again. But Bennison quickly
settled down and struck the
next two men out. The third
was retired on an easy inheld
grounder, the game was over
and the Call team was pro-
claimed the championship ag-
gregation of the newspaper
league.
In the early stages of the
contest, the Call inheld did
not give Bennjson the sort of
support which his work war
ranted. He was pitching
shutout ball all the time, but
the errors came at the wrong
moments, and in this way the
News lads managed to pile up
the majority of their six tai
lies. With the proper kind of
support, Bennison would have
make it blank. He famed
eight of his opponents and
walked but one.
The Call went through the
league series with the loss of
only one game, that being its
first one against the team it
defeated for the championship
yesterday. That contest was
originally protested. but rather
than start any unpleasantness,
Captain Mclaughlin finally
cast the protest aside. Incl
dentally his team took every
other game it played.

come the possessors OF the ii

The name of each player will
