By a Score of 4 tO3
OvER 1000 PEOPLE WITNESS THE CONTEST
Game Hard One From Start to nEh Which Was Finally Decided By An
Extra Inning Wenahee World BIamS the Umpire
For Loss of Game

In one of the hardest fought games
ever played on the home grounds the
Cubs slipped it over on the Wenatchee
bunch Sunday. But it was fight, and
one the home guards will long re-
member.
Promptly at l o'clock the Wenatchee
special rolled in, bringing 500 red apple
fans. Most Of them hiked Immediately
for the ball park and settled themselves
for the big event. By 2:30 the grand
stand and bleachers had filed up and
a large crowd had lined up on the field.
There was not a doubt in the minds
of the Wenatchee sports that the game
was already theirs, and they backed
their opinions as only good sports will;
but alas, it didn't turn out that way,
and the Leavenworth fans are richer this
week by about $4,000 But at any rate
we believe there were few present who
didn't get their moneys worth. From
the moment his jumps" announced
play ball until Heidrick slid home with
the winning run there was not second
! in which interest Jagged.
The only accident Of the day occurred
in the seventh inning, when Souder
sliding to second drove his spikes into
Connor's shins, which seemed to cast
gloom over the entire crowd. The af-
fair was purely accidental and could not
be helped. Such things will sometimes
happen. Connor was taken to DR.. Hox-
sey's office, where it was necessary to
take IA stitches to close up the wound.
Connor is a plucky little ball player,
and says he will be back in the game
in couple Of weeks.
Harry Killalay, brother Of handsome
Jack" who pitched for Spokane last
year but is now back in the big league,
did the twirling for the locals. He was
in good form, holding the visitors down
to seven hits and getting IA strikeouts.
Foster. who did such good work
against the Cubs two weeks ago, opened
the game for the visitors, but was re-
placed by Kyle in the fourth inning,
who did effective work in the following
innings.
The first score came in for the Cubs
in the fourth inning, when Keppler,
first up, banged one to center field for
one base. Tholin sacrificed him to
second, and then Kelso did it by driv-
ing one to right field for three bases,
scoring Keppler.
Quigley evidently got worried about
this time, pulling Foster and sending
Kyle in. Mahoney, next up, hit safe,
bringing Kelso home with another tally.
Souder and Judd followed, but were
unable to hit safe.
The seventh was Killaly's bad inning.
1t started with one man out. Quigley
got walk, stole second and came home
on a two-bagger by Fuller. Warren
followed with clean two-base hit, scor-
ing Fuller. The situation was serious
for moment. Fortunately Packingham,
the next man at the bat, lifted a long
fly to right field, which was gathered in
by Heidrick, retiring the side.
The score was now tied, and some
thing had to be done. Mahoney start
ed off, but was out on an in-feld fly.
Souder reached first on a feeble hit and
stole second. Judd followed, but was
unable to locate the ball. Heidrick
followed with a clean hit, advancing
Souder to third. Killalay was next up.
Would he hit safe? Souder evidently
thought not, so he took the chance and
with the second ball thrown, tore home.
Luck was with him and he made it by
a good margin. Killalay then surprised
few of the boys by getting clean
hit through short. Miller hit to first
base and the inning was over with the
home team in the lead by one run.
