Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 247, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 October 1913 — Great Bend Is Winner. [ARTICLE]

Great Bend Is Winner.

GreaHJend won the pennant in tho Kansas State league by taking the deciding series from Lyons. The deeming game, by the way, was the first that Pitcher O’Byrne had lost on the home grounds at Lyons. He had won 14 straight and finished the season with the best record in the league. Riley was the hero for Great Bend in the deciding series. He won both games of a double-header, then came back and saved the next game. Riley won ten straight games for the new Kansas champions, but the credit for the team’s showing is given Manager Ally Wilson, who has kept them playing fast ball at all stages and boasts he has never been over the salary limit, a- lesson for a few minor league clubs.
