FROM LEAGUE-sPEcIAL GAME
OF SPECIAL INTEREST TODAY.
cor all the sad words of tongue or
pen,
1.-THE saddest or these-It might have
been'
To the Alagas we give all the praise
that a clean well earned victory can
deserve for you played guilt-edge big
league ball throughout but to the men
who fought to uphold Carwicos' fame
we also doff our hats in warmest
praize. Be it known that Messrs Fa-
rinas who was scheduled to pitch for
the Carwicos and II. White captain
and regular d-sacker deliberately
quit the boy leaguers yesterday just
at the most critical stage of the cup
race for purely personal reasons and
further added to their disgusting
baby act" by going into the grand
stand and roofing against their former
teammates. Even the staunchest Ala
ga supporter could not but sympathize
with the Carwicos and appreciate their
unexpected predicannent. Boyett was
not in condition to do the slab work
and Louis Shuttleworth agreed to ac-
cept the unpleasant duty Of trying to
pitched in the Twilight this summer
while Boyett was sent to third.
With this patched up lineup the
Carwicos accepted the conditions in an
almost heroic way knowing full well
what the game meant and what they
would have to face from the splendid
but unsuspecting crowd attracted to
sea the outcome. Things started off
with a rush and no more spectacular
or Tightening fast game was ever seen
than was played up to the last OF
the third. Then. however. balloon went
up and things happened thick and fast
to the sad delight Of the crippled Car
wicos.
How il Happened.
Swain the first man UP flew out to
Carroll. Motta drew pass, Boyett
hit to H. Bombay and both were safe
when Roaohe dropped the pill at
second. Chivers then hit over second
but Brent threw Motta out at the
plate and Coleman doubled to third
catching Boyett. For the Alagas, Cole
man hit to right, Roache, following
doubled to first, Angelo flew out to L.
Anderson retiring the side. Thus the
Arst inning was extremely sensational
and ended with honors even and ex-
element intense.
B. Anderson opened the second with
long fly to left which Carroll and
Brent both tried for. the former bring
beautiful catch. L. Anderson and r.
White both grounded to Bombay and
retired the side. Bombay only pitched
three balls in this inning, each batter
hitting the first one sent over and go
ing out as per above. Two strike outs
and pop-fly to L. Anderson was the
best that the Alagas could do. Honors
ef ~
Gould grounded to Ficas and was
out at first. Shuttleworth whitfield out
and swaine duplicated Gould, Ficas
again pulling off a fast play. Brent hit
a terrific drive TO Shuttleworth who
knocked 1t down and electrified the
fans by throwing the fleet-footed Ala
ga out, and now for the fireworks
Carroll hit to right field. Bombay hit
to Shuttleworth who threw wild in
an effort to force Carroll, the latter
going to third and Bombay TO second.
Coleman walked flling the bags with
one down. Roache hit to Chivers who
forced Carroll at the plate, bases full
and two down. Angelo hit to deep
short. and beat the throw to first seor-
ing Bombay and Coleman. Bicker hit
in the side and the bags were again
filled. Nell then cleared them with a
long fly to deep center while pande-
monium reigned supreme among the
spectators Fieas hit to center and
Swaine added to the Carwicos plight
by dropping the ball while Neil scored.
Ficas attempted to steal home re-
tired the side but not before six runs
had been scored.
The Carwicos could do nothing with
Bombay after this and the Alagas ad-
ded three more in the fourth on two
hite q sacrifice and two errors. Ange-

the feature.
Harold Bombay won his fourth con-
secutive victory OF the season and
thereby won with Bert Coleman the
prize for the battery winning the most
number Of games. Bombay pitched in
great form allowing the boy leaguers
but one hit ana It might be remarked
right here that his pitching has en-
abled the Alagas to stand at the top
OF the column most OF the season and
at least tie for Il. st place.
Shuttleworth and his teammates de-
serve great credit for the showing
they made under the circumstances
and though they lost yesterday they
still have good chance to tie for
first place
Managers Statement.
Owing to the widespread interest in
yesterdays game and the fact that
many were not aware of the predica-
rnent Of the Carwicso and also to pre-
vent reoccurence OF such an act, the
manager OF the Twilight League gave
out the following statement:
To whom it may concern. The
management and directors of the
league were entirely ignorant Of the
act of Messrs. White and Farinas until
few minutes before the game was to
start and were thus in no way re-
sponsible for 1t.
AS near az could be learned. It
seems that White objected to manager
Motta signing and playing Chivers for
team yesterday when Motta informed
him that Chivers was to play. further
adding to his act by persuading Fa-
rinas to join his in quitting" and
then appearing in company with Fa-
