THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, JUNE 9. 1921. Saunders Ball Team Wins Public School Girls' League Championship Champs Score 36 Tallies in Seven Stanzas Mason, Girls Blame Defeat on Naughty Rain. 'Twas a bitter battle, but Saunders School won, in scores if not in spirit. For after seven gruelling innings the Mason base ball team, com posed of girls! was still convinced it might have won had it not rained. The score was 36 to 14, with the Saunders team, also composed of girls, in the lead. The opposing batteries were Dorothy Manger, pitcher, and Eleanor Clapper, catcher, for Saund ers; Mildred Toozer, pitchtr, and Jennie Morocco, catcher, for Maspn school. Tie at End of First. The game opened with Saunders at bat. A tense silence prevailed among the rooters on the sidelines. Pitcher Toozer tossed a wicked curve, and Saunders was able to score but one run. Mason tied the score the same inning. The third inning was fatal for Mason. Ruth Peterson, the Babe Ruth of the Saunders team, came to bat, and knocked out a two-bagger. After that the scorekceper began to earn her money. Before the in ning closed Saunders v had made five runs. To add to the disaster for the Masonites their pitcher, Mildred Toozer, sprained her wrist sliding home, and was out of the game sev eral minutes. Ah, yes, the Mason girls staged a sixth-inning rally. Ruth Hutton, their own Babe Ruth, knocked out a two-baggcr. Thus encouraged her teammates began pounding the ball. Five runs were chalked up, then it began to rain and Fitcher Manger gained control of the situation. Wet Ball Ends Rally. Spit balls were not allowed, but' what can one do when the rain wets the ball Anyway the Mason batters were confused and failed to score again. As the last Mason girl struck out the large convincing rain drops be gan to fall more rapidly, and spec tators began to flee for shelter. Su perintendent of Schools Beveridge and Assistant Superintendent Ryan were among those who fled. The game was continued 10 min utes more but the Mason rally was broken. - Thus did Saunders win the Omaha Public School Girls' league championship. And after all it was a good game, even though there were occasional shouts of "kill" the umpire," or something to that effect. Ruth Hutton and Grace Gallagher were ball and base umpires, re spectively. Both escaped unscathed. The game was played yesterday afternoon at Thirty-ninth and Burt streets.

It takes more than a jail sentence to keep Babe Ruth from playing ball. Babe served six hours a technical day in the traffic court "pen" to day, made a wild dash out to the Polo grounds and played three in nings of a winning game against Cleveland. After paying his $100 for speeding about a week ago, he began serving one day "in confinement" because this was his second offense. As 4 o'clock, the time for his re lease approached, the same torpedo roadster that twice led to his arrest, awaited him. He sped away from a cheering crowd with a policeman on the running board to clear the way and Magistrate McGeehan seated beside him to see that re would not be "pinched" again. He arrived in time to swing a bat ,in the sixth inning. The crowds in the stands did not recognize him at first. There was a pause, then the crowds rose to their feet and cheered. Chester Williams is the proudest colored boy in the city, for he has the distinction of being the only man who observed a sentence in the same pen with the hitting champion. Chester said Ruth kept to himself, held a gloomy face "a mile long," and refused even to join in a dice game. California Varsity Eight Training at Poughkeepsie New York, June 8.
