Little Series

In the "Little World's Series" (Baltimore versus Louisville), Joseph Deberry, Louisville pitching star, smiled confidently at the first Oriole batter who faced him in the fourth inning of the eighth game for the minor league championship. In that inning two sturdy Baltimorons, Batters Porter and Brainard, smashed home runs over the centerfield fence, brought in three runs with the result that Deberry, no longer smiling, was removed from the box and Baltimore gained a lead which gave them the game, 5 runs to 2, the series 5 games to 3.
