CITING GAME.
The second game between the Quick
steps and Anthracite was played yes.
tertlay afternoon In the presence OF
about 300 persons. The game was be-
yond doubt the finest and most exciting
ever played in this city.
Miller, the crack pitcher Of the visit.
ing team, was put into the holes, with
Milligan behind the bat, while Henry
and st. Lawrence did excellent work
for the home team, and the victory Is
due mainly to their efforts. The An
thracites were unable to hit Henry
with effect, except In the fourth inning,
when, with three single hits and
double, aided by an error of Albert and
/. base on balls by Henry, gave them
four runs two of which were earned.
For the Quickstep, Kennel opened the
game with fine hit for two bases on
which he scored.
The Qaickstep did not score again
until the sixth inning, although mum
Der of players were on bases, when
Benners made first on error Of Lang
and took second on wild throw ,reacL.
ed third and scored on safe hit by
Hoover, who gained second. Fox hit
to short and was decided out at first,
although when the ball reached Know
les hands he was not standing on the
base. Beyond this decision the game
was umpired in a satisfactory manner.
Hoover scored in this inning on pass
ed ball Albert struck out, and Watt
went out at first on short hit.
In the seventh inning the Quicksteps
were retired without u run, but IN the
eighth inning Kennel opened out with
a two-bagger followed by single OF

fly, and Fox went out on short hit
In the tenth inning the Quickstep had

ming the home team inaugurated a reg
ular slugging match, Hoover opening

on Keinzei's hit to left, and Lawrence

and was retired, while Hoover struck
out purposely, in order to finish the
side 80 as the game could be finished
before dark.
After a run had been scored in the
last inning and two men were on bases,
with no one out, the visitors endeavor-
ed to play dodge in order that the
game could be called. Miller pitched
wildly, and after allowing two men
their bases on balls, Milligan suddenly
walked from behind the bat and sat
down, saying that he could not see the
ball, although the sun had not gone
dowr. Umpire Griffith was satisfied
that he could see the ball easily and
allowed him Just five minutes to
resume the game, or he would give 1t to
the Quickstep.
This had the desired effect and he
took his place, and from appearances
he was shaming, for while he drop
ped every ball that came to him he
TOOK good care not to let them pass him.
To show that he was playing on, ST.
Lawrence, who caught fifteen minutes
later, took the balls with ease and did
not miss any. The visitors did every
thing in their power to prolong the
game, but the Quicksteps soon caught
on and allowed themselves to be put
out in rapid succession.
The Anthracites succeeded in scoring
one .un in the last inning on single
hit by Knowles and double by Annis,
after which the game closed amid the
widest confusion.
The Quickstep, made twelve hits of
Miller with total OF II bases, while
the " sluggers" only succeeded in get
ting ten with total of twelve.
