Wingham Defeated Teeswater To Break League Tie 1st innings did the Trick Last Monday afternoon saw a large and enthusiastic company of Base Ball fans and fannettee on Victoria Park, Brussels, assembled to witness the deciding match between Wing - ham and Teeswater for League hon- ors. The teams stood a tie and it was agreed to play off on neutral ground and as Brussels had offered the free use of their park, which was in good shape, offer was accepted and the con- test was played here, Umpire Hor- ning gave deoision as to balls and strikes and Umpire Brown, both of Palmerston, looked after the bases. Wingham went to bat first and to the glad surprise of their supporters piled up 5 runs and practically won the match there and then. Teeswater was not so fortunate but were blank- ed in 1 2 3 order after Bannerman had got safely to 1st. From that to the end of the play there was little choice between the competitors. Each side applied the whitewash brush 6 times and each scot ed 3 runs in the remain- ing innings. On several occasions extra sharp play nipped prospects that to ed fair as counters. Both batteries played consistent ball and the catchers were well up to pruning off °hawses at 2nd base when runners assayed to make the circle of the diamond. A few likely looking flies were nabbed in real old time base ball fashion, Teeswater stuck to their guns with good pluck despite the handicap at the start but their opponents allowed them little chance of evening up and play ended with a score of 8 to 3 in favor of Wingham. It was amusing to hear the appar- ently tireless co'inmeut of the rival crowds but on the whole it was taken in good part and nobody got killed OOP!' it. Extended score is as follows :— winch= R 0 Teoswater R 0 Aiteheson, IP 1 8 Bannerman, of.,. 0 8 Telfer, p 2 2 Hlsaooks, s e 0 8 Ja Gedsoddesn, Bb ,,,.,,....., 1 8 Don8 Onmpbellohue, p88b 0 8 o 8 , el 1 , D.
