The Death Row All Stars at Play
Leavenworth, Kas., Oct. 28, 1910 – The federal prison baseball league closed a successful season with Saturday’s game, when the Booker T.’s won their fifteenth game to the Brown Sox’s fourteen. Until the last inning of the final game was played the result was in doubt, as each team had won and lost an equal number. In the final inning when the Booker T.’s scored two runs against the Brown Sox the score on the prison league grounds rivaled that at Boston, when the victors in the world’s series scored their final run defeating -the New York Giants. Although, financially. The league was not a success it fully equaled the expectation of its promoters, which was to aid the prison discipline and furnish the prisoners innocent amusement at a nominal expense.
