Mechanics s, Engineers 3

Last Friday the Mechanics went
thru the Engineers for n of the old
fashioned hit and run victories. When
the fireworks had spent and the clouds
cleared away the Engineers had the
short end of an s to 8 score.
Nearly all the Mechanics hit and
Westerfeld was about as effective as a
German outpost on the Argonne. At
least one hit was made off him every
inning and the number increased as
the game grew older until the seventh
when the Mechanics made it a COM
plete debacle and everybody but I'm
derwood batted that inning. The dam
age consisted of four hits and five
runs. In addition the Engineers l.elp-
ed the Mechanics along with three
! er~o-s.
1t is true that Westerfeld was call
ed upon to pitch the game before re-
covering from a slight illness and it
was very evident that he was not in
good form. However, he was the only
available pitcher for the Engineers as
both Ernshaw and Ogden were to
pitch for Parkside and Upland, respec-
lively, the day following. AS for
Nitchie, it seems he vas game enough
to pitch two days in succession, for he
too had a game on Saturday pitching
for the 18th Ward of Wilmington, and
he won them both.
The Engineers made enough hits
and runs to win an ordinary game of
hall, but the Mechanics went through
Westerfeld ike a breeze and it was
impossible for any team to catch up

Mechanics Win
Final Series
Take Four Games of "WOrld's
Series and Win Champion
ship of Dye Works

The Mechanics who won the cham
pionship Of the Dye Works League for
the first half season and who were
looked upon as a bunch of dubs thru
out the second half completely dim
med the forlorn hopes of the Engi-
neers who led the second half, by win
ming their fourth game of the final
series by a 4 to 3 score yesterday af-
ternoon.
After the poor showing the day be-
fore and with the possibility of a long
drawn out series the last game was
poorly attended. Impending show
ers also kept many away.
The game "a a good n and both
sides played well in the field but the
Engineers had more men on base. It
seems they crowded the bases some
times but were paralized when it came
to applying the extra punch to tally
runs. Several times they were stop
ped short by phenomenal fielding on
the part of Underwood. This lanky
shortstop pulled in three long chances,
two with the bare hand, that most any
other time would have been sure hits.
Westerfeld was again considered the
best bet for the Engineers and he was,
except in the first inning. Before he
had a chance to get settled the Me-
chanics swung a mean stick and hit
out two doubles and two singles scor-
ing three runs. To equal this total
the Engineers worked hard enough to
win two ball games. Two of their
men were put out at home. Every
inning one or two were left on base,
usually n getting as far as third.
By the eighth inning they had tied the
score, almost. The Mechanics had
slipped another run in during the
sixth. Hodgin singled, Rainey sacri-
feed and C. Mcdonald made a two
base hit.
Hrrkness was coming on rapidly but
the n. half of the ninth inning was
reached before it beeame impossible to
follow the ball. With two out Crist
gave Hirst a base on balls. He went
to second on a passed ball. Big things
were expected of Dunbar. He had a
volume of advice in half a minute.
Some said, chit it," others " wait for
a walk" He did a little of both and
had three balls and two strikes called.
The next sailed over his head. He
must have wanted to hit it. He struck
out.
The score:
