THE ECHO
CHAMPAGNE WINS INTER
DEPARTMENT BASEBALL CUP
In one of the most thrilling
games that Ecusta baseball
fans have had the privilege of
witnessing, Champagne beat
the Pulp Mill by the score of
12 to 11.
The battle was nip and tuck
through the entire nine innings,
both teams giving every ounce
of energy in their bodies. The
game belonged to either team
until the final out was made in
the ninth inning.
For Champagne, a lot of
credit can be given to Grady
Wilie, the pitcher, and Charley
Clayton, third baseman. Char
ley’s four hits did a lot to help
the cause.
The Pulp Mill’s cause was
aided by the hitting of Otto
Whiteside and C. Morris. Ro
land Wilber’s relief pitching
was something to remember.
Immediately following the
game, the inter-department cup
was presented to the winning
team by Carl Gross, donator of
the cup. Mr. Gross was intro
duced by Mr. Pete Eberle.
