SPORT NEWS : —•—• — flftnetn Boomers 3; Fort Wayne Colored Giants 1 Flaying before the largest crowd that has witnessed a base ball game In Geneva in recent years, there being over sixteen hundred, paid admissions, the Geneva Boosters defeated the Colored Giants of Fort Wayne in a thrilling contest by the otose score of 3 to 1. Long before the game started the | seating capacity and standing room was all taken up, and when the umpire called "Batter up,” the crowd went wild with enthusiasm. Evidently the colored boys meant to tuck the game away under their wing in the first inning, as the first two balls pitched by Van Schyock, were touched each for two bases and the first man crossed the pan before the game was two minutes old. But after that, there was little doing for the colored boys, for they were only allowed two more lifts in the remain-

ing eight innings. The boosters were unable to score until in the seventh, when Badders, the first’man up struck, out, McCollum singled to left and went to second when the catcher missed a pitched ball, Antrim doubled scoring McCollum, and he in turn scored when Isler doubled to center, but was put out between second and third, for the second out. Briggs . singled and Van Schyock singled but ( the side was retired with two men on bases when the next man up hit an infield fly. Geneva scored again in the eighth making them three runs. For the most part it was a pitcher’s battle between Johnson of the Giants and Schyock for Geneva, with the latter holding the better end of the deal. Over four hundred automobiles were parked in or near the grounds. The score by innings: 12345678 9 RHE Ft. Wayne.. 100000000142 Geneva 00000021 371 Batteries—Fort Wayne.
