SOUTH SIDE {.
CHAMPIONS IN
SUNSET LEAGUE
Is to IL Victory After Terri
fc Onslaught Against
Twirlers on Both Sides

In the final deciding contest in the
Newport Series of the Sunset League
the South SIDE triumphed over their
opponents o. the North Side by the
score OIL 10 % II in a close and thrill-
imp contest ot seven innings and two
hours duration. The game started
rather slowly, and South Sides weak
ness in the field gave four tallies to
the North in the first half of the first.
On the other lsnd, the eventual win
ners were blanked in their first ses-
sion and only succeeded in putting
one man on base.
Again the North Side came to bat,
feeling already the flush and conf
dence of victory, and they succeeded
in hitting pitcher Fairbrother for six
runs, going through their batting or
er exactly once. "Micky" Clark sue
ceeded in gaining tally for the
South Side in their section of the
second inning. He drew walk,
went to second on A. Moulton's hit,
and came home from second on a
poor throw by the car;her and a
passed ball.
South Side now began to feel their
oats, and after sending their oppon-
nents back into the field after retir-
ing them in one, two, three order,
they banged out six hits for six tai
lies. When forced to go back into
the field, they allowed only one North
Side to reach first. In theiS half of
the fourth, only one of their men
G1,-t hn of
of the inning was 10 to 7 in favor of
North Side.
In the fifth, the North Side increas
ed its lead by one run, made by catch
er Beebe, but Mcneil and Ellis cross
ed the plate and added two to the
South Sic score. The opening of the
sixth inning found the North Side
confident of victory with lead of II
to 9. Buck, first up, got hit and
circled the bases with the aid of two
other bineles.
The The end of the sixth inning
found the North Side showed under
bv an Avalanche of hits and scores.
"Si' Searles had relieved Riley Da-
Wis on the mound at the end of the
previous inning, and he walked to
the -9itcher's box little aware of what
he should mass THROUGH before the
South Sides terrible onslaught
should be abated. Man after man
faced him, got his hit, or reached first
somehow, and spectators wondered
when the Marathon would end. As
the dust cleared and heated argu-
ment over whether "Mickv" Clark
was out or not was settled, the fig
ures in the score book showed six
more tallies for the South Side, with
their last bats still ahead if needed.
But Davis, McCartin. and Searles all
failed to safely solve Fairhrother's
nuz7ling delivery, and so the game
fnallv ended with the score Is to IL
and the SUPREMACY of South Side in
the 1920 series maintained

He then pointed out what seemed to
him to be the fault with the teams
playing, sparing nothing and no one
in his complete franl;ness. The play
ers agreed with most of his views.
After some deliberation among
them, the players agreed that they
could not quit when in debt, and they
decided to find out how many base
ball fans would substantially supnort
a Newport team strengthened by the
addition of some more skillful play
ers, and if the response should war
rant it, they plan to obtain some pro-
tessional talent and nresent a lineup
which will be on par with the best
teams in this section, and which will
represent Newport as the city has
been represented in the past. If the
fans are not in favor of it, the mat
ter will be dropped and there will be
no more town baseball at Newport
this summer. "A

School Has Outing

The Methodist Sunday school held
their annual picnic on Tuesday, and
a few showers made no difference to
the dozens of happy children who
spent most of the day splashing
ABOUT in the water, or frisking on
the beach.
The picnic was held at Wilson's
grove, on the edge of Salem Pond,
the party making the trip in several
automobiles.
There were between rs and 100
person.. in attendance, and it was a
real old fashioned basket picnic,
where every one brings the choicest
goodies they know how to make, and
We all know the Methodist men as
we'll as the ladies are wonderful
cooks.
The arrangements for the picnic
were in the hands of Supt. p. w.
Lawson, assisted by an able corps of
supporters, and everything possible
was done to give everybody a good
time.
A number of swings were put up
which furnished amusement for the
kiddies, and spirited ball game was
INDUCED in by the boys.
