 The game between the New Ravens and
 the Wilkesbarres yesterday afternoon was
 one of the closest and most exciting seen on the grounds this season. Three times did the Wilkesbarres tie the score, but they could not get in the lead.
 Two Straight from the Coal Barons! And three straight victories from the two best
 teams in the leaguel Marvellous, isn't its But it is not to be wondered at, insomuch as the home team is playing good ball. Again the home players outbatted their opponents, feat which they have accom- plished in the last eight games played. There is now no more crying about being weak at the bat.
 Horner went into the box, and many were little uneasy as to the outcome. But he surprised everybody, and for 8 time simply toyed with Wilkesbarre's heavy hitters. He was little wild to start with, but this was because he has not pitched game in some
 time. Sharp fielding kept several, he gave
 bases on balls to, from scoring. The work of Cahill behind the bat was we'll, everybody knows, without anything
 being said. Twice he threw to first base and caught the runner.
 The featufe of the game was catch by Brady. After long TUE. he put up one hand and pulled the ball down just as it was sail ing over his head. It was one of the finest catches of the season.
 Lally's batting was strong as usual. His two safe hits sent in two runs. Schoeneck has made most favorable impression. When runner leads too far off first base he covers the bag, so that when anyone throws him the ball the runner cannot get back to the base, and if he slides he touches Schoeneck's shoes and not the bag. Gslligan did well in the field.
 The coaching of the New Ravens WAS live ly. and Captain Burdock had his men on the line all the time.
 Wilkesbarre put up strong fielding game,
 but they could not guage Horner's curves successfully. And this is the team that knocked three Hartford pitchers out of the
 box and made 39 runs.
 THE GAME.
 New Haven went to the bat first. Brady
 and Cahill knocked the ball viciously at
 Jacobs, but he made. good stops and both
 went out at first. Burdock got first on balls.
 Lally hit long fly to Mckee, which he dropped, but O'Rourke ended the inning by hitting to Pettit.
 Pettlt got first on balls. He was caught between the bases and run down by Schee- neck, Burdock and Horner. Irwin also went to first on balls. Immediately he started for second, but Cahill got the ball to Burdock in time to retire him, and the crowd shouted its approval of this pretty play. Black got first on balls, stole second and third, but Mckee could not bring him home as he struck out. In the second Jacobs could not get the ball over the plate, and Galligsn was given his base on balls. Tommy Corcoran made @ nice line single. Then one of the funniest incidents of the day occurred. Schoneck was at the bat. He made every body shout with laughter when he tried to bunt the ball in front of the plate and make sacrifice hit. His object was to get the bali on the ground. After making seven fouls-the balls rolling outside the third base line-he made the sacrifice, and it was nearly base hit. He accomplished his purpose, for Galligan and Corcoran each moved up base. Horner got first on balls. This made three men on bases. Brady sacrificed, Petit to Flanagan, and Galligan scored. Corcoran tried to, but was thrown out at the plate. Wilkesbarre, however, tied the score. Beecner led of with a hit. Cahill had short passed ball, and the runner made dash for second. He had mistaken the throwing ability of Cahill, for he was caught before he reached the second base. Flana- gan got first on balls and scored on an error by O'Rourke, passed ball and hit by Jacobs. Murphy, who reached first on O'Rourke's error, tried to reach home on Jacobs' hit, but Brady threw him out at the plate.
 Result, New Haven 1, Wilkesbarre 1. In the third, Petit let Burdock's grounder go between his legs. Lally made safe hit, Burdock taking third When Murphy threw to Petit to catch Lslly, Burdock scored. Tallr bok hall playing. The New Ravens did some good fielding in this inning. Burdock made 8 long run backward for a fly and O'Rourke
 made splendid one handed stop. New Haven 2, Wilkesbarre 1. Wilkesbarre tied the score in the fourth on singles by Beecher, Flanagan and Jacobs. The latter led off too far from first base and Cahill caught him off about a foot Didn't
 the people applaud, thought The New Ravens again took the lead in the fifth. Cahill made a single, stole sec ond, took third on Burdock's sacrifice and scored on Lally's single.
 In the sixth Schoeneck got in 8 two base hit, but was left on second. Again the crowd was given chance to enthuse when Cahill, by quick throw caught Flanagan mapping at first base.
 The greatest feature came in the seventh. Two men were out when Petit came to the bat. He caught the ball squarely on the end of his bat and sent it sailing between center and right fields. Brady started after it. Had anyone bet $100 to cent that he would have caught it no one would have taksp<hfm up. When Brady put up his right Hand and made jump, catching the Essiff, Esif1f the crowd arose in one msss and cheefed for several minutes. The little fellow had to doff his cap several times.
 In the eighth O'Rourke did very stupid thing. He was on first base, when Galligan knocked up fly that Irwin muffed. Galli- gan was out anyway. O'Rourke evidently forgot the rule and started for second, and was caught.
 WiIkesbarre, for the third time tied the score, Irwin hit to Burdock, but the ball gave bad bound just before 1t reached Bur dock and Irwin was safe. A passed | ball and two sacrifice hits let him score. New Haven 3, Wilkesbarre 3. The New Ravens came to the bat for the \ last time. Schoeneck went out to Petit. Then Horner hit safely, and Brady dropped one just over second base. Burdock hit 8 long fly that was good for a base. Mckee made long run for it, and it just touched | the tips of his fingers. It was not an error, I for it was simply impossible for him to get it. On this Horner scored.
 For Wilkesbarre Galligan made fine rum | ming catch of Flanagan's fly. O'Brien made 8 ! two baser, but Murphy and Jacobs went out on flies to Lally and Galligan. Score: NEW HAVEN. wILKEsBARRE. R.1B.P.o.A.E.I R1B.P.o. AZ. Brady If o 8 i 0 Pettits ss..O 0 8 8 1
