The Corbin team is the city cham
 pion. the third and deciding game of
 the series with the Kaceys going to
 the Park street boys yesterday, In a
 loosely played game, 6 to 4. No alibis
 Will be accepted on the part of the
 losers. and best team copped the
 honor. From the very first game of
 the series, the Corbin team displayed
 plenty of fight, and deserved the
 honor.
 Wolf, the smiling hurler of the city
 champions, IS entitled to all the honor
 that can be showered on him. In the
 two games he hurled, Wolfe stood out In prominence. In yesterdays game
 he was even better than in the first contest. When the Kaceys got away to a two run lead in the first inning. the smile did not leave Wolrs face. He returned to the mound in the sec ond inning. and with three run lead that his mates gave him in the first Inning, he settled down, and pitched splendid brand of baseball. Several times during the fray, he was in tight places, but he never faltered, and backed up by good fielding, he came through with flying colors.
 Mccormick. the Kaceys slabster, lost his second game of the series. His offerings yesterday were duck soup" for the Lockmakers, who found him for II safeties, and twice during the game he was taken from the mound.
 Wolf was favored by having Clinton behind the bat. The "old timer despite the fact that he "crabbed" several times in yesterdays game, proved one of the main cogs in the Corbin machine.
 Credit must also be given to Schneider for the splendid game he played in the series. Coming to the bate yesterday with a man on base Schneider rapped out a double that seemed to completely break Me Cormick's spirit, for the time being at least. Schneider made catch of ball that was labeled a hit off Begley's bat, which was the fielding gem of the day.
 Preisser, despite his apparent un- popularity with many of the fans, turned in a nice stop in the seventh 1 He made fine bid for a double play l losing his man at second by a scant | hairline decision.
 Larry Mangan was on the coaching | line for the Kaceys in uniform. Across the front of the shirt was the name f Missouri. Larry said before the game | that he would have to be shown. He | was.
 Johnny Sheehan made a boot in the | first inning that was costly for the | Kaceys. During the afternoon he made three errors, but he also made | one or two good plays. They did not atone however, for that error in the first inning. Sheehan was called upon to relieve Mccormick in the first in ming with two out. He forced Clinton to hit weakly to the bo
 Joey Fitzpatrick knocked the argu- ment that his arm was gone into cooked hat in the eighth inning. With three men on the paths and only one gone, "Hookeys" slants retired the side runless, Schneider perishing on strikes and Preisser polling out to Kiniry.
 Al. Blanchard is entitled to his name being placed in the Cerbin athletic hall of fame, by the manner in which he covered the initial sack during the series,
 Ground. rules prevented Jimmy Green from emuating Babe Ruth in the third inning. Green strengthened one out that sped between Corbin and Huber, along the racing track in right center He reached home but was forced to return to second base, when the Corbin captain won his point in an argument about the ground rule.
 Kilduff came out of his batting slump long enough to connect for a triple yesterday. In the third inning with two men out and Green on second base. Kilduff hit one mile over Schneider's head. It was sweet poke.
 There was considerable difference of opinion on the decision of Umpire Crowley in calling Dudack out at first base in the fourth inning. Preisser's throw got to the bag ahead of Stevie I according to his majesty, the ump. It prevented a run for the Kaceys, as f, oil uyhn ha J md eft 1 third was crossing the plate just as the decision was made.
