The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1890-05-10

The strong Eatasauqua club came TO
town last Saturday determined and conf
dent that ere the sun had sunk behind the
mountains in the west Lehighton's scalp
would be hanging to their belt and the town
be in tears. They came, they saw, ,and they
were conquered, and meyer was ''big head"
more chagrined and disguised. But,
through it all the visitors conducted them
selves in quiet, orderly and respectable
manner. Lehlghton played their game
with only five errors to Catasauqua's
eighteen, and while the home boys made
phenomenal plays, the visitors made phe-
nomenal miss-PlaYs, showing clearly that
they lacked in nerve when tackled by club
Of very near or quite their own calibre. L.
is questionable whether the base running
of the home team was ever before equalled
by any amateur nine-it was daring In the
extreme, nothing like it was eyer seen in
this town before, and 1t proved that we
have excellent material in stock. The new
players put ''ginger' into the whole club
and consequently Jennings ana O'Hara had
support all over the field. Every chance
was taken with the result that the visitors
were out-played In every quarter. O'Hara,
pitching under the most extreme difficult
ties, kept the visitors down to nine hits,
while Cutler, evidently in good form, was
hit hard by our heavy batters. Six hun
dred people witnessed the game, They
came from Catasauqua, Slatington, Mauch
Chunk and Packerton. and filed the air
with vOciferOus yells. Below we append
the score by innings:
| LehightOn, l 9 o 0 3 2 O x-13
Catasauqua, o 2 90 8 0 0 O o. 5
Cute Manager DaYls had a pleasant
little joke in circulation before the game
about small lantern he carried at his belt.
In effect it was TO show the home clue the
bases, but they didn't need 1t, and the Joke
proved a boomerang on the gIddy manager
whose puffed up aggregation were tapped
of sORle Of their inflated vanity by the ex.
cellent playing OF the home nine.
Jennings is learning paper hanging
house painting and decorating with G. A,
Goth. The new 'blz" will come In good
when we get down TO ''white-washing'
some visiting club.
