After their big score win over the Crackers on Thursday night, every body expected to see the Giants literal ly eat the Sinners up, but as is usual when the leaders meet the tailâ€"enders, they failed to do it; in fact, they had to play their hardest to keep from getâ€" ting trimmed. e The Sinners played the best ball they have yet exhibited this season and Walker and his trusty crew had to use every bit of strategy they posâ€" sessed to stop them from putting over a win. V. Farrell hit safely, as did Walker and Grout, Farrell going home on â€" a passed ball. Fisher walked and filled the bases. Cloughley hit for a homer and Sleaned the bases."

Farrel sent the first ball pitched to the centre garden for a homer, bringing in Cloughley and St. John. Bonham was caught out, V. Farrell hit safely and died on first, Walker caught out. Three runs, two hits. The Giants gathered in twentyâ€"five nice hits while the best the Crackers could get off Walker‘s delivery, . was fifteen â€"and many of these were good for two and three baggers but for the fast work of the Giant fielders. 1stâ€"R. Farrell was caught oput, W. Konkle struck out, Gowland hit safely and stole second. Thomas hit a two bagger and Gowland scored. Morden struck out. â€" Two hits, one run. Gowland was on the mound for the Crackers, but apparently something went wrong with "Mike‘s" ango ball, for it refused to _ work effectively against the heavy Giant hitters. In the third innings Mike went to first base and E. Konkle tried to stop the mighty Giants but to noâ€" avail and Michael went back to the box in the fourth. During the game Gowland issued five free tickets to first base and Konkle two. _ Walker was in excellent form and according to "Smoke" McBride,â€" the noted pitcher / and conneisseur â€" of pitchers, who watched him work most particularly, he had more speed and more jump to the ball than he has ever exhibited before this season; in fact, "Smoke" was of the opinion that it would have kept the Tackeaters busy to beat him on Thursday night. s The wise ones all figured the Giants to win from the Naps and Sinners but thought they would fall down when they met the Crackerjacks. A win for the Crackers would have given them second place in spite of everything. The speculators figured that Tuesday night‘s game would weaken Walker ana that he would crack under the strain and lose out to the Crackers, but someâ€" body stepped into the dope bucket and upset it, for it was Gowland of the Crackers that cracked. > The game on Thursday night was a sizzler, despite the oneâ€"sided _ score. Both teams knew that a win _ meant everything to them and they went at it hammer and tongs right from the start. The GRIMSBY Soft Ball League wound up its season on Friday night when "Beef Trust" Walker‘s aggregation, the Giants, took the Sinners into camp by a score of 15â€"Qand incidentally landed second place in the league. Remarkable Pitching by Walker and Almost Errorless Supâ€" . port give Giants a Decisive Win over Crackerjacksâ€"Sinners had the Giants Scared Stiffâ€"Too Many Free Passes to First Account for Loss of Games. The Giants performed the remarkable feat of playing and winning three games in one week.®" This they had to do to beat out the Crackerjacks for seâ€" cond place. On Tuesday night they won from the Naps. On Thursday night they went against the Crackerjacksâ€"and won by a score of 19â€"3 and came right back and trimmed the Sinners on Friday night. » GIANTS WIN THBEE GAMES IN A : #" ; : Byâ€""JOL" and His Able and Unable Assistants â€" z : f AQeee Te en n uciGnGcleeualf eB iB i eale l aPeG BeaciGnBa lGala e ie B e Re e ige B e e S ea l e lc j ige id Beaea eZ: e leS ige B e ic B id B B aecig B BB sz e geaga ilae ie J iZ l Je l B e ig B ige e e lcR ie llafe ifi B id ieÂ¥ S e llafe ige B e ie B decige Sn 3 ie B ig e il oR id i afo id Be B ige e3 ie B if Beife ie iB $ Beaf ifeoBnete it cfants ‘ ALDERMAN FARRELL A HOME RUN SWATTER Giants 15â€"â€"Sinners BASEBALL CRICKET WEEK AND LAND SECOND PLAGE List of articles to contribute are: Slippers, socks, braces, . pyjamas, underclothes, towels, castile soap, wash cloths or sponges, writing paper, envelopes and pencils, razors, shaving soap, brushes, boot laces, brushes. and combs, pipes, Euchre, cigarettes, sW#eets 60x90, towels 18x36 or smaller,; hard peppermint candy, khaki handkerchicfs. In only one inning did the Sinners fail to score and it was simply the wonderful pitching of Walker â€" that kept them from putting a run over the pan.â€" They got to Walker for three in the first innings and then everyone did claim that great "Beef Trust" had cracked, but his team played great ball behind him and this saved the game. In the second they came back and grabbed three more, but went out in one, two, three order in the third. In the fourth they landed another trio and but for a little hard luck base run‘ ning would have had, more. Whittaker was on the mound for the Sinners and he kept the Giant heavy hitters pretty well under control, mixing his balls up and keeping his hits well scattered. The Giants got four in the first, five in the second and six in the third. + A good programme will : be given.

The boys have all tried hard at their different positions, to make good and you cannot say but what they have. Many â€" balls get through them and there is no doubt that many errors are made, but when In the catching department, Schwab is the best best, although St. John is running him a close second. "Boob" has done some spectacular work beâ€" hind the bat this season and he saved many runs for his team by it. Ryder and Blamey have proved to be materiâ€" al for development and with a little more practice will be real good reâ€" ceivers.= The Naps really have no catcher. In the pitching department, of course, "Smoke" McBride, C.O0.D., is the class of the lot, but with him out it is just a question who is the best pitcher, Fisher or Walker. Fisher has aslow ball that is a fooler, and also has a ball that causes foul tips by the score. He also has considerable speed. Walker‘s main asset is speed and of this he has a barrell full, he also has a slow teaser but it is not as effective as Fisher‘s. Of course, Fishâ€" er was a pitcher before Walker ever heard tell of soft ball, in fact, when the season opened, Walker ‘had never thrown a ball nor had he any idea of how it should be thrown, but he has developed into a terrible speed merâ€" chant and will be a tough man to keep from the top of the pitching heap next season.. Farrell and Gowland have developed remarkably as pitchers since the season opened and are the makings of fast twirlers. The Sinners have really no dependable pitcher, alâ€" though they have several on their line up that can twirl some. Whittaker is the best of the lot and a little seasonâ€" ing would do him a lot of good. The games all season have been of a very good sample of ball, with the possible exception of some of the Tackeaters games, they being very weird affairs owing to the far superior playâ€" f § ing of the Tackers. ‘ 2 e sls When the soft ball season opened, there was not a man in town â€" who knew anything about the game or had ever played it with the exception of the boys on the Tackeaters lineup. The lads jumped into the game with a will and the use of lots of pep and constant practice, soon supplied GRIMSBY with at least four cracking good teams. As the season advanced the boys developed until the last three or four games were of the very finest order of ball. * The League Was a New Idea For Grimsby, But it Was a Good one â€" Tackeaters had the Edge on the Other Teams at the Startâ€"A Good Brand of Ball Was Served up all Seaâ€" son, and Many Ball Players Were Developed. hss The GRIMSBY Soft Ball League came to a close on Friday night last after a most successful season. The Tackers won the league in easy style, but had they to start over again with the other teams as strong as they are now, we think the boys from the factory would find the going a litâ€" tle rougher than heretofore. oOF BALL LEAGUE GLOSES AFTER . A MOST SUGGEGSFUL SEASON The league was‘a new idea for GRIMSBY, and we think that everyone who has attended the games during the season were of the opinion that the idea was a good one. : 4 The league was first formed. by Mr. L. G. Farrell, and members of the GRIMSBY Club. It was comprised of four teams, but one team, the Dudes, laid it over the other fellows like a tent. Resultâ€"the other fellows lost interâ€" est and the league was in pretty rocky shape. _ After, a long conference by the Moguls, the league was reâ€"organized and was comprised of three teams from the Club, the Sinnéers and the Tackeaters. The reâ€"organized Dudes then got rocky and their franchise was sold to the Crackerjacks and this was a great improvement. LACK OF GOOD UMPIRES A DRAWBACK The best that money canbuyâ€"is the labor that goes into the Canadian Ford Our workman are the highest paid motor car mechanics in ‘the British Empire. This means dollars saved in after expense to the man who drives a Ford "Made in Canada".. Because the Ford car is built right. Runabout $480.00. G. E. SMITH & SON, Agents Ford Touring Car Price $530 Grimsby, Ontario "MADE IN CANADA®" it is considered that none of these boys had any experience at the game three months ago, you â€"must give them all credit for their work. The one bad feature of the season has been the lack of good umpires, and the fact that a number of the players would persist in baiting and questioning the umpires‘ â€" decision. A good ball player and the player who makes good in all kinds of company is the one who abides by the umps deciâ€" sion whether it be right or wrong and he is always farther ahead by so doâ€" ing. The citizens have patronized the league liberally and we hope that they have been satisfied with â€" the brand of ball put up. They also con tributed handsomely to the ball playâ€" ers‘ contribution to the machine gun fund. It is to be hoped that the league will be formed again next season, for we think it has been a good thing for the boys, for the town and for everyâ€" body concerned. It gave the young fellows lots of good, healthy exercise, kept them off the street from loafing and. provided a little amusement for everyone. $ L An effort will be made this fall to form an indoor league for the coming winter, if a suitable building can be secured. In any event, the boys will be: on the job next spring. BOWLING RACING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1915
