Canada Wins Second World Cup in a Row
Win Kellum Shuts Down Americans Again

When Win Kellum fielded Dick Hoblitzel's grounder and threw to *Tom Joly at first, he just looked at all his teammates and let the feeling just sink in.

"This feels really great, being on the mound when and winning the World Cup," said Kellum, who allowed just three runs on six hits to the might Americans, "to think that I wasn't good enough to be in the Majors but I can shut down this lineup."

The Canadians scored in each of the first three innings, and again in the fifth, then held on in the ninth despite loading the bases.

Bill O'Hara led off the game against Elmer Steele with a single and scored on Bunk Congalton's double. Congalton then scored on an error by Art Devlin. Kellum helped himself in the 2nd, connecting on an RBI single to score *Ed Tippett.

The Americans got on the board in their half of the 2nd with an RBI double by Honus Wagner and an RBI single by Devlin. However, Canada tacked on runs in the 3rd and 5th on a Larry McLean RBI single and a Gaston Belanger RBI fielder's choice.

"To do this twice in a row is just amazing," said Nig Clarke, who was 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored, "we'll definitely have the bragging rights when we arrive at Spring Training."

Down 5-2 in the ninth, the Americans loaded the bases with one out. Larry Doyle then grounded out to second scoring Tris Speaker. However, Hoblitzel then grounded out to the pitcher.

Larry McLean had two hits and an RBI for Canada. Joe Jackson and Wagner each had two hits for the Americans, who got four innings of shutout relief from Roy Patterson to keep them in the game.

Canada 5, United States 3
W-Win Kellum (2-0) L-Elmer Steele (1-1)
