CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Big Eagle Hall was crowded last Wednesday evening by indoor base ball enthusiasts when the teams copiposed of the Commercials and Hammon played off a tie, each team having won four and lost two ' games during the series between the fpflr teams. * A great deal of intense•interest as well as some personal feeling entered the games during the series, which after all probably ac counts why. the'.
