GUARDS BATTLE ROSE IN EXTRA INNING TIE

Final Game of Seastra Kcsrtlts In 1212 Draw, Darkness Ending Struggle.

The question of supremacy bfc'«een the Camp Rose team and the Liberty Gaurds will not be decided this year. The rival forces tried to settle it Sunday afternoon before a big crowd at Camp Rose, but after 10 innings of play the affair was called on account of darkness by "Cmps Ralph H. White. It was still light in the playing field, but the shadows frotn the grandstand darkened things at home plate, ami it was deemed best to call it a draw. The final score was 12-12.

There was plenty of action at all tlrnen. Both teams hit well and several twlrlers took a hand. ".Lefty" Gilbert pitched for the Carnp Rose te im for three Innings, then switched to the boards. Ross Harriott started for the 'jruard.% whiffing the first three batsmen to fac«i him. His curve ball broke beautifully. Rudrow took up the hurling- for Camp Rose after Gillie jumped, working untl' the tifth. when KolBhau.'ven, rto.^c Poly slabbist. went in wit 11 three on and eav#»d Lhe day. From then on it was a contest between Gilbert «nd "Rosey," with the game being knotted in the ninth ft 10 all around. The Guards in their half of the tenth counted two runs, only to hava the Ro^e outfit even it up in the last naJr. Then came the darkness ruling.

Barkl»v, first packer tor Camp Rose, demonstrated that he is real slugger. Late the came he poled the ball up against the gym and da--ii«*d around the circuit, missing each and every bag. His mates saw the overnight, as did the umpire :, and after crnsf-inj? the plate RarK)e was rurh'd hack to first, reaching tnere before the ball was relayed hi. It was the longest single ever witnessed at the local field, and probably the In rise ft in the history of baseball. It would take a frozen columns to tell of ali the good things, so we'll let It eo by Ftating that esrh and every player did his hi*, one way or the oth«r, and that the final game of the season was enjoyed by a raft of fair fans and those who came with theni. Oh, yes. Recreation Director Orammell blamed the ump« for the draw, but he was the only one who did.

Pitcher Art Nebf of the Boston Braves got a bonus of $500 when he won his fifteenth victory on Aug1. 31 over the Phillies.

PARIS, Sept. 6.—(By Mail.)—The diamond was no diamond at all. It was only a Lorraine pasture with the bumps cut off and the holes filled in to give a smooth surface. Two nines in kiiaki were battling for the championship of the Vosges, or something like that.

From the woods behind the first base big guns were speaking at intervals. The shells went whistling over the field to carry their messages of death to the enemy. From the other side of the distant hills came the booming of artillery in reply.

Sounds like a poor day for a game, doesn't it? But on that morning the Y. M. C. A. athletic director of the district had ridden eight kilometres on his bicycle to bring bats, balls, a catcher's glove, a mask and a few fielders' rnitts, and the young men in khaki were going to break them in whether or not the whole German army was just around tha corner.

Came the sixth inninf?. The woodle-dy-does had gone out in one, two, three order, and the Hickety-Hacks were walking in from the field. The umpire,

PICK

Amos St runk was the only player on either team to make more than one ex-tra-base smash. He had two, a double and a triple. However, generally Strunk's batting was notably weak, aa he did not seem to be able to connect with the slants of Vaughn and Tyler, Mitchell's pair of southpaws. It was In fielding that Anion starred, especially in the opening game.

In the fifth game, when the Cubs won their second victory, Dode Paskert, formerly with the Phillies, knocked out the double that drove In two of the runs. The leader in the batting averages. as well as the all-around star for the Cubs, was Charlie Pick, a former Mack utility Infifider. and the "dark horse" of the series. In the first game Pick, differing slightly from stage frisrht, ran true to form, and won instant unpopularity by flying out with the bases tilled at a time when a run would have meant Tietorv for the Cubs. Pick, who was followed by Deal and Killefer in the batMng order, teamed well with the former Philly catcher, and the two figured three times in Chicago runs, Pick could usually be counted on to get on base, and when he did Killefer could be counted on to advance him.

And now, after Boston has collected the world's series money, ^onnie Mack can order coal, for President Frazee of the Ronton club announcer! after the series that he had sent Mack a check for J30.000 as the last installment on the players lie purchased frotn the Athletics' leader.

The 1J1S world's series wouldn't baTe been much of an affair if all the former PhiladeJpliiana had been counted out of it. and this in not considering Manager Fred Mitchell of the Cubs. Five former Mack men and three erstwhile Phillies took part in the series, not counting Mitcholl, and each of the nuniber distinguished himself in sonic manner. Without any one of the Philadelphia talent in the lineup, Boston, which won all its victories by one run margin, would have lost. Shean, a former Mack intielder, performed at second for the Red Sox and accounted for two of their runs. He played excellent ball throughout the .series, and played a particularly important part in the rfox victory in the opening game, when he crossed tli« plate with the only tally, after having singled at a timely moment. He wa» driven in with this run by Stuffy McTnnis, another former Athletic. Mclnnis, who had five hits to his credit during the series, was also a material help to Boston in winning the world's championship. Mflrinis featured in the fourth game, when he prevented a Cub victory by a sensational play in the ninth.

The next instant he was flat on his stomach. So was everybody else round about, for right behind second base there plumped a shell which bore the label of "made in Germany." Tho explosion tore a hole in the ground and otherwise messed up the lield. "Anybody hurt? yelled the umpire, as he got up cautiously after a minute or two. "Nope?" "All right, then, shake a leg."

Quickly, after they had salvaged every pieoe of shell in sight as souvenirs. the players filled the hole, the umpire dusted off the plate, put o» hie mask and cried "Play ball V

Not until he acquires perfect control can the German artilleryman stop baseball at the front. His wild ones only interrupt the game.

JUST WILL PLAY BALL

Scribe. Over There, Tells of Game Played With Hand-Made Ball, Etc,

E. A. Batcbelor, who is doing publicit*' work for the Y. M. C. A. war athletic activities in France, comes across with another good baseball etory from behind the liues over there. It illustrates that American instinct to play ball whatever the handicaps and while there is humor in the ntory there isah-o something to be taken to heart—the duty of giving those ball playing soldier boys something to play with.

In spite of all the government, Clark Griffith, the Red Cross and various welfare organizations have done, the soldiers can't be kept supplied with basehall equipment, a« Bachelor's story of the game shows. After going on to tell how the game come about he enters into his description

The ball was a fearful and wonderful thing, absolutely guiltless of any infringement of tho Spalding and Reach patents. A round stone, picked up on the beach, formed its core. Around this unyielding missile were wrapped some rags and over this tire tape. Surrounding all was a piece of canvas, roughly stitched. It was the hardest and the "deadest" bail ever used in competition. A giant couldn't have hit it over 100 feet with a telegraph pole, and it took a good lic.Ji to drive it even as far as the pitcher. Still it was a ball, writes] Batchelor. I

The heroes who volunteered to act as catchers in this strange content refused to face the camouflaged boulder without some protection, so they made themselves a glove. A couple of old flannel shirts served as the foundation for this protector. Somebody cut up an old shoe to provide leather for the face of the glove and this was sewn on by the same genius that had achieved the canvas cover for the ball. The strange contrivance,J&ad no fingers but was held in place by Binding it on the hands with twine.
