Boston and Chicago played at Boston
on Monday, the game being called on
account of darkness at the end of the
seventh inning. Neither side had scor-
ed, and both had but hits and l error
each.
Umpire Devinney of Allentown
should thank his lucky stars that it was
Freeland audience he had to deal with
on Sunday. He would certainly be
mobbed in nine out of every ten towns
in the state.
"A very exciting game was played on
the Drifton grounds Sunday morning
The contestants were the married men
of No. against the married men of No.
2. No. came out slightly ahead by the
score of 32-1S.
The double umpire system will prove
failure every time with such men as
Devinney He turned his head away
from almost every ball Welsh pitched
and called but two strikes on the Iron
sides during the game.
-Lansford recently shut out Lehigh-
ton by so, and on Labor Day was de-
feated by Shenandoah. The score was
11-2. Keenan,, whom Freeland has
twice knocked out the box this year,
threw for Shenandoah.
In a thirteen-inning game with
Louisville at Gloucester on Sunday,
Larkin, first baseman of the Athletics,
accepted 25 chances without an error,
beating all previous records. Bierbauer
of the same club accepted II without an
error.
Stephens of Burlington, n. j.; Nc
Gill of Evansville, Ind; Knell of St.
Joseph, Mo-; Kilroy of Baltimore, and
Cushman of Toledo are the only pitchers
who have this year accomplished the
difficult feat of retiring a club without a
hit in full game.
"A game of ball to be played on
Thursday of fair week between Lehigh-
ton and a club to be chosen gives the
winner prize of $50 from the society,"
Lehighton Ado0cate. The club to be
chosen will not be named Freeland,
Lansford or Catasauqua. 1t would be
walk-over for any of these three.
The Philadelphia clubs will not win
the national pennants of the organizations
to which they belong, but they will prob
ably contain the champion home run
getters at the close of the season. Stovey
of the Athletics leads the Association
with 20 to his credit, and Thompson of
the Phillies is at the top of the League
with 20.
-Tamaqua has won sixteen games
this season, most of them, however,
being played with scrub mines from min
ing patches in the vicinity of Hazleton.
They have not defeated the clubs of the
region, including Shenandoah Mahanoy
City, Pottsville, Lansford, Mt. Carmel
and others. Ashland has issued chal-
lenge to play them for 800, which has
not as yet been accepted. Ad-
g0cdte.
An idea may be formed of what
kind of a club Wilkes Barre had in the
Atlantic Association this year when the
present work of its players is looked
into. The majority of them are doing
good work in the International League,
Pitcher Fitzgerald especially, who is
playing with Rochester. j. Irwin, short
stop, and Beecher, right fielder, are
holding their own in Washington. First
baseman Flanagan is doing terrific bat
ting for Louisville. Wilkes-Barre did
not know when they had good thing.
The Shenandoah club defeated Lans-
ford and now pose as coal region cham
pions. 1t may be necessary to get the
old Reliance in trim and trounce these
presuming youngsters before the season
closes.-Mt. Carmel Neaos. So Shenan-
doah is posing as the coal region cham
pions These presuming youngsters
should look up the four games they
played with Freeland this season, and
discover how often they were licked by
the real champions. The scores were
9-S, 7-3, 80 and 1872, in favor of Free
land ayery time
