Defeat Benks in Final Game If there
were any doubts as to the baseball championship of
southwest Benkelman and Haigler had played six games this season with the results being a tie. Benkelman then challenged Haigler for a championship game which was played with the foregoing results. It was agreed that each team was to play home players and accordingly no spiking was done by either team. Houts started on the mound for Benkelman but was relieved in the sixth inning. Welch pitched two innings for the Colts and Wade Hoover pitched the remaining seven. Haigler’s scorer was not present. Therefore the box score and score by innings is not available, but the victory was complete and gratifying to Colt fans. Thus ended the 1926 baseball season. The Haigler News,
