THE DOUGLAS - FT. SEWARD GAME was easily the test tussle of the series*
At Douglas the soldiers ran up against the costliest umpire in the
world* His decisions cost the Ft. Seward outfit just 75 bucks per
word. His one word, - "Safe" - giipped the soldiers out of just that
roach, as it cost them the difference between half the 1st* prise
money of $250 and the fifty bucks they received as their share of
the three-cornered tie for second money of $150. ( If Ft.Seward had
bouton Douglas they would have tied them for first place,) The
game wa3 a hummer from start to finish, when a hit at any time would
have broken up the struggle. It was featured by a neat squeeze-play
pulled by Douglas, home runs by Andruskiewic* and M.Gallwas, and the
heart-breaking umpiring of "Tex" Zimmerman on the bases.
