FAIRGROUNDS.

In the final game of the Twilight
League championship series for this
season, the Whitmans defeated the
Norris team by the score of to 1.
The game was fast from start to
finish and furnished much excitement
for the large crowd of enthusiastic
fans who were in attendance. The
same sportsmanlike conduct and
playing prevailed yesterday as in the
other two games.
The Whitmans used in their line

S. Bell, 2b.; E. Motta, c.; A. Bicker,
|. f.; A. Olsen, r. f.; A. Villar, S. s.;

gelo, 2b.; C. BECKER, 3D.; Stiles, c.;
Salmons and Thames, r. f.; Love, p.
Manager Gould, of the Whitmans,
sent in Farinas against the young
sters, while Manager Mac Lewis sent
Hardin Love bach in the box.
Farinas won the first game for the
Whitmans, to 0. Love pitched the
Norris to a shut out victory in the
second game, to 0, not allowing a
hit. So when the batteries were an
nounced yesterday the fans settled
themselves for "some" game, and
"some" game it was.
Neither team was able to secure
hit or even get on during the first
three innings. Both pitchers were go-
ing like big leaguers and their sup
port was unbeatable. All of this was
happening during the first three in
niE~s. Hoffman, first Whitman up
in the fourth, caught one of Loves
shoots on the nose and chased little
Jack Bergin nearly to 18th avenue,
the feet-footed outfelder made a
beautiful run and succeeded only in
robbing Hoffman of hit. Hoffman
arrived safe at second. Gould hit
one to deep left but was deprived of
a muchly sought base-knock by Nor
gan. Bell hit one to third who tried
to catch Hoffman in a chase, the play
was gummed up however and Hoff-
man was still on second and Bell safe
at first. Motta singled over second,
scoring Hoffman, Bell took second.
Bell and Motta completed the circuit
when Big Olsen (A.) poled a double
to left. Villar put the finishing
touches to Love when he singled to
center, scoring Olsen. Mcintosh was
i sent in to relieve Love at this juno
ture. A. Bicker struck out. Villar
stole second but was caught in q
CHI. between second and third, end
ing the slaughter.
The Norris did not give up the
fight however, but went right into the
!, battle again. Mcintosh opened theil
half with a double to left and went
to third when Bell missed the throw
! from the outfeld. Angelo was safe
on Olsen's error of his long fly t.
: right, Mcintosh scored what proved
to be the Norris only run. Angelo
gummed up good chance to win &
ball game when he ran into Bell
who completed fast double play OF
c. Bicker's fast grounder. Stiles
flew out to center for the third out.
The Whitmans scored their fftl
: run in the fifth inning on Fulghumi
: error and Gould's double. The Norris
! Kids were retired in regular ordel
in their half of. the last inning.
e Farinas pitched winning bal
q throughout the game and allowed
}, but one hit, he struck out four men
|, issuing no free passes.
/ The playing of the two teams il
r this series and the spirit shown b,
n them was highly commendable, an,
S this is indeed what makes the play
ground leagues really worth while.
