DEFEATING CAMBRIDGE IN FINAL
FINAL STANDING,
Especial Correspondence

| Geneseo, ILL.,, Sept. THE third
and final day of the Geneseo base
| ball tournament furnished the most
| interesting games of the three
days play. The attendance was
the smallest of the tournament but
those present witnessed one game
| that will not soon be forgotten.
when Geneseo nosed out a to
victory over Cambridge.
| Contrary to expectations, the
| first game of the afternoon was
won by Colona over CISCO by a
score of to 5. On prior perform
ances all indications pointed to an
easy win for CISCO. Rydberg was
| in the box for Colona and pitched
a very creditable game, holding
! CISCO to eight hits. Four of these
came in the fourth inning and cou-
pied with an error by Leibee, re-
suited in the only runs which CISCO
I had to its credit. In no other in
ming was more than one hit gar
nered off Rydberg's delivery. He
walked only one man and struck
out six
Colona earned only three of its
eight runs In the lead at the be-
ginning of the last half of the
fourth, TO 0. CISCO tied it up in
their half But in the sixth Colona
scored four tallies on five errors
and no hits They added another
in the eighth on a triple by Ker-
shaw ,sfollowed by a single by Da-
Wis. Kennedy pitched for CISCO, but
lacked his usual effectiveness. He
has pitched too frequently within
the last few days to be at his best.
The feature of the game was an
extraordinary one-hand catch of
fly bail off V. Jacobson's bat in the
sixth inning. Baum, of Colona,
carried off the batting honors with
three hits in five times up.
GeneseO, 8; Cambridge, 6.
All of the intensity of rivalry
seemed to center in the final game
of the tournament. Cambridge
came back with Schatzman to pitch
them to another win. This was the
first time that Genesdo had ever
faced him and his success against
other teams assured his Cambridge
friends of another victory. His OPP
ponent in the box was Ching"
Quinn, who has appeared in this
section only once before, that being
at the Cambridge tournament.
Cambridge led off in the second
with two runs on two singles sand

earned the plaudits of the crowd.
The next man flied out to center.
Three runs then filtered across on
a walk, an error by Nehls, another
walk and a single.
