The big game Of the seres was the
one on Monday morning between Glas-

purse. Malta was intent on winning
this game and had secured John Spaul-

on the mound for Glasgow and al
though somewhat wild in the fore part
of the game, he steadied down in good
shape towards the last, striking out
thirteen Maltaites. Things looked
rather blue for Glasgow in the first
inning, when Malta scored two runs,
but in the second inning the score was
tied, when Chouinard doubled. Bardill

fly to right field, Herstrom scoring
on the throw in. In the sixth inning

two runs, and they kept the lead until
the eighth inning, when Chouinard
scored on Benson's triple. Neither
team scored in the ninth or tenth, but
in the eleventh Glasgow brought in
the run that won the game. Grace,
the first man up flied out, Hurry hit
a Texas Lacquer, and stole second, Nc
Coy hit a pop fly to the shortstop.
With two men out and two strikes on
him, Movold the next man up hit

stands. By winning this game Glas-
gov won the tournament and the big
end of the purse.
