game of the three-game champion

the last swish of the bat was heard
in the accommodating twilight. 1t was
a speedy game in regards to base
running performances and some good
records were made by the flying
Methodists who played run sheep run
around the canvas platters every time
they heard anything that sounded
like the ping of bat.
