Although American Security and Trust
Company, winner Of the pennant in the
Bankers League. and champion OF Sec
ton B. was beaten by the Cornell tribe.
which landed the Section A banner, at
Capital City Park yesterday. to 8, the
Trust Company boys played their rivals
to a standstill and set their many
friends wild By their good work
Fully 1900 people crowded into Capital
City Park to see the game and in the
outfeld there was a crowd at least three
rows deep. Manager Cornell turned his
famous gold brick" infield loose upon
the Section champs. and nearly every
body looked for a runaway game. When
the Paperhangers scored three runs in
the opening inning this belief was
strengthened, but the game had not prog
ressed far when the Fifteenth street
boys suddenly took a brace and went
after big Phil Buscher in earnest.
Bankers Score in Fifth.
In the fifth. with the score already 5 10
0 against them. the trust company lads
garneEsd their first run. With two out,
Rawlings singled through short. Boykin
hit an easy one down the first base line,
which both Buscher and Cy Macdonald
went after. Buscher got the ball. and
Macdonald FASTENED back to cover the
bag. but Basil beat the hefty cOlleglan
To the base. Meanwhile Noyes had run
ur 20 cover first, Moran, for some reason
or other, browsing about in the grass
back Of second. And Rawlings went from
first all the way home in the mixup
'Shag" was putting Ike a race horse
down the home stretch when Cy spied
him. and made a dash for the plate.
Both Macdonald and Rawlings slid for
the bag, "shag" being safe by a small
margin. His effort TO score proved a
costly one. however. inasmuch as he
sustained a deep cash on the leg from
one Of MacDonalds spikes The game
was delayed few minutes while he went
over 10 Sibley Hospital to be treated.
Before he returned Gray took his place
on the mound. and, proved to be more
effective than his Nfellow-twirler. The
Cornell boys failed 10 hit him when hits
meant runs, and their scoring ended sud
denly.
But the best fireworks were yet to come.
and in the seventh session a real cele-
bration. with the crowd cheering the
on. took place which would
rival any Fourth Of July display as FAR
as the pyrotechnical part Of the pro-
gramme was concerned.
