Behr display anything that APP
preached to the certainty and control

AMATEUR SERIES
GETS UNDER WAY
Three Games Played in Finals
for District Base Ball
. Championship.
MARINES AND MACHlNISTS
ENGAGE IN TIE CONTEST
Agriculture Defeats Keller by 8
to 4 and Emmanuel Wins From
Rosedales, 6 to 2.
BY Il. c. BYRD.


The post-season series for the
amateur base ball championship
of the District got under way yes
terday, three games being played.
Agriculture defeated Keller 8 to
4 in the only contest in section B,
while in section A the Marines
and Machinists tied at FIVE runs
and Emmanuel won from tile
Rosedales by E to 2.
Much greater interest was
shown than was evident at the
start of the series a year ago.
Larger crowds by far attended
the contests, and the enthusiasm
at times was at a high pitch.
When the post-season games be-
gan in 1914 there was not near
the outlook for successful
schedule that was indicated by
the crowds at yesterdays battles.
The greatest number of followers
of amateur base ball went to see
the main teams in section A,
Marines and Machinists, and it is
estimated that close to 1000 per-
sons were on the grounds.
Fortune favored the Marines
toward the close of the contest
with the Machinists, the game
being called at a moment when it
appeared that defeat was stalking
before them. 1t was agreed to
end the contest when the navy
yard flag was lowered, and it
went down while the Machinists
had two men on, one down and
three balls on the batter.
Emmanuel Shows Strength.
Emmanuel proved superior to the
Rosedales in the other games in section
a. Inc NORTHWEST sunday ScR00l
League club played better ball and
gave evidence of sufficient capabilities
to make the Marines and Machinists
look forward to their games with IL
next week with no little fear.
Perhaps the surprise of the day was
the manner in which Keller played
Agriculture to a standstill for awhile.
The Aggies were on the short end of a
"A to score at one time and it APP
peared as If they were doomed to fail
ure in their initial trial In the sixth
inning the Farmers began. though, and
scored twice; in the next they got the
count which tied up the game, and it
was in the eighth that the depart
mental champs really got busy, scoring
four runs.
There were few individual perform
ances of exceptional merit in any of
the contests. The games, IL anything.
were a little below the standard of
which the teams are capable and will
show in the remaining part of the
schedule. Walbridge and Strain were
effective on the offensive for the Ma
rines and Moran did some good hit
ting for the Rosedales against Inn
manuel Only two pitchers showed
anything extraordinary, Eddie Thomp-
son pitching splendid ball for I'M
manuel and Lem Owens holding Keller
scoreless in the. final two innings OF
Agriculture's game.
