RECORD THRONG SEES STARS IN TIMES VICTORY Woodside’s Greatest Crowd on Hand as Rileys Down" Ferndales for Amateur Title. GAME IS PITCHING DUEL With a crowd estimated at 5.000 watching every move of *ne contesting players, the Riley yesterday defeated the Ferndales In t’ha championship tilt for the Daily Times trophy and Babe Ruth autographed baseball. The score was 3 to 1, the veteran Frye having the edge over the youngster Slaughter in a great pitching battle tnat brought cheer after cheer from the assembled throng at Woodside Park diamond. It was the largest crowd by more than 1,000 that ever bad attended a ball game at Woodside Park and the noise and general excitement reminded one of the big day at the .county fair in the old heme town. ... The teams were the stfrvivors of a thirty-two team tournament staged to decide the independent championsnip of the city and the interest in the final game went far beyond the expectations of-the managers of the affair. .... .. The teams took the field shortly after S o'clock with the veteran Bob Rloble in charge of the contest. From the JfKst thrown ball the struggle developed in’o a hurling duel, with Frye being backed up by the better support. The onlv earned run of the contest came in the first frame when tho Rileys posted their first marked on a walk to Nelson after one out, a single by Purdue and a sacrifice fly by Cunningham. The runs oecuring in the pastime were helped around by mlspl&ys. Both Frve and Slaughter struck out nine batsmen, the former giving up only two hits and the latter five. The crowd was so great along the foul lines that each ieft fielder had to go behind the mob once to make catcher. Old fans, middle-aged fans, young fans and baby fans were out la force. At least 500 of the fans were women. Klnlev, second base, played a snappy game for the Ferndales. Joe Hopkins also starred behind the bat. Kinsley accepted nine chances cleanly. Cullem performed like a leaguer at short for the Rileys. Slaughter fanned three Rileys in the fourth. Beldon’s double off Heights shoulder was sandwiched between the second .and third strike-outs this inning. Frye fielded his position well, getting five assists. The Ferndales were practicallv helpless before the veteran Frye’s offerings. Onlv two safeties represented their hit total and both were slightly of tne 'scratchy variety. Hubbard. Bran and other well-known Pennsy baseball boosters were Mt to view the pastiming It was through the - courtesy of these men as representatives of the Pennsylvania Railroad Athletic Association that the Woodside erounds were obtained for the big game The diamond was in fine shape deplt* the heavy rain of the morning and the only wet was in the pitchers box. Veteran Fob Kibble umpired the game in good stvle and handled P remarkably well cunsidering the huge crowd and the fact that he was officiating alone. He kept the players hustling and as % resuit the enthusiasm was kept at high pitch until the last man was out. Cox, Ferndale left fielder, made a whale of a throw when he caught Eng- ‘ leking at third in the sixth. Engleking tad hit far'over Cox's head and he was trying for a triple when the perfect. , throw to Vols nailed him Belflon scored on the hit. having crossed the plate -before the out was made. The extra ha<=e hits of the contest were made by Engleking and Beldon, each getting a double. When the Times trophey. pennant and Babe Rnth ball were presented to Manager Jenne of the Rileys there was ■great excitement and cheering Manager Jenne took th Babe Ruth ball and said : “This is mine," and nastily put if in a side pocket. A small toy. thinking of Babe Ruth and his fifty-four home runs.' edged close to the Ferndale manager and deftly stole the ball, but the urchin was apprehended by one of the manager* of the' tournament, who was on guard for that danger. The Times tournament was staged to settle the championship among city teams that do not belong to any association. In other words, the event decides the city amateur independent title. It is an open event to all teams in the independent class and is not to be confused with the City Amateur Baseball Association, the champions of which is the Bell Telephone nine.

Two Defeats Cause Bells to Lose Out in National Event Defense of Local Industrial Champs Falters and Cleveland Acmes Triumph. I)ame fortune turned hr back on the Bells Saturday and the Acmes of Cleveland took a double header from the local industrial champs, 5-2 and 7-2, winning the three-gama series sod eltminat* ing the telephone outfit from further play In the amateur championship series. Hu who laugh* last laughs best to be a good old adage, for after the Bells woa a hard-earned victory at Cleveland the Acmes came to the local's own yard and grabbed the uecessary two games that caused clouds of gloom lo fall upon the Beil followers. The first game at Washington Fark Saturday was a Ueartbreaker for the Indianapolis champs “A step in time would have saved a whole nine.” In the final inning, Brown was on second with two men out when Tipton singled cleanly to center. Everybody said, “There goes the old ball game," but it -was not to be. With the series hinging on the score crossing the plate. Kalal, in renter field, made a perfect throw to the plate, nailing the Bell's catcher by the proverbial eyelash and sending the game Into extra innings. Dawson pitched ahut-out hail for the “Hello” team unitl the ejevsmth round, and richly deseived to win. The first two scores of the visitors were gift*', error* allowing two runs in the second inning. The Bells broke into the run column at the stsrj when Tipton was hit, went to third on Gard's double to left and scored on a panted ball by Fields. There was no further scoring until the eighth, when, after ' Gard was hit. Wampler smacked a three-bagger to left field, scoring the tying run The Cleveland outfit put the game awav in the eleventh with three hits combined with a couple of Bell mlscuea. After the beat bet of the local* had been beaten things looked dark and after the third Inning of the second gam* things looked darker. More, who started the last affair, was bombarded for seven runs in the third and retired to let Hand take up the fading hopes of the tl*' phoner*. It wai no u**. Although young Klein ha us on the mound for the Acmes was the wildest of wild tnen, when he did get the ball “!n theie," there was toe much on it to hit #nd the best the Bella could do was to sneak two runs across in the seven Innings before ness settled down over the diamond and Vhe Bell rooters. Gard at second base for the Bells handled twenty-one chances throughout the afternoon without a bobble. Ho nnd thirteen assists and eight putouts. In th second game be pulled the moat sensational play of the double bill when he went back into right after L*e s bid for a hit and made a Jumping, back, handed stab for a wonderful catch. Wampler’s triple that tied the count in the first game was the hardest hit ball of the day and was as timely as it was harcL bit. After More was knocked out of the second game Hand went into the box and pitched good ball. It was a peculiar thing that both Bell batsmen hit by Knight crossed the rubber in tho first bottle. P ver n pitcher deserved to win Rex Dawson should have had that honor. At every stage uni 11 the fatal Ksx had the hard-hitting Acmes baffled. The Favorite Knits of Cleveland (alias National Acmes) lost the first game of the Class AAA national Amatuer Federation series to the Youngstown seini-pro champs yesterday at Cleveland by a score of 5 to 4 At Louisville the K.

LONG CONTEST WON BY TRIBE Indians Brace in Twelfth and Down Hens—Weaver Hurls Good Ball. TOLEDO, Sept 12.—After downing the Heus yesterday, 2 to 0, In twelve innings the Indians felt some of their old confidence returning today and they predicted they would annex the majority of games in the wind-up series here. Two games were on yesterday's card, but the second was not played because of the time consumed to settle the first skirmish . Asa result a double bill wilt be played Tuesday. Harry Weaver opposed Wright on the mound yesterday and the young twirler pitched grand ball. He gave up eight hits oveg the twelve rounds and he kept the binglea widely scattered. Wright also was in form, but the Indians finally bunched a couple of hits along with a Hen error and a sacrifice in the twelfth for the needed runs. Here s how the twelfth went: Schreiber was safe on an Infield mlsplay and Itehg sacrificed. Covington flied to Thorpe, but Shlnners came through with-'a single, scoring Schreiber. Shlnners then stole second and scored on Sicking's blngle. It was sufficient, for Weaver quickly put the Hens away In their half of the Inning. In the wind-up fray at Columbus Saturday, Pug Caret added another win, when he hurled the Indians to a 8 to 3 victory. Shinners and Kehg got homers In the Saturday game and Baird added another stolen base. Sunday at Toledo INDIANAPOLIS. AB. R. H. O. A. E Baird.
