BASE BALL GOSSIP.
The Ashland Telegram speaks thus
of the mbnation-Lehighton game at
that place last Friday. The contest yester-
day afternoon at the Park was between the
strong Lehighton club and Ashland team,
The two games played between these mines
were of the gilt-edge order On August
9th we went to Lehighton and after a bril-
game lost by a score of 2 to 1. Yesterday S
contest was also won by Lehighton by the
close score of 4 to 3. This is record to
be proud of, when we consider that Lehigh
ton is the strongest amateur club in thestat
1t was a magnificent struggle, and very
interesting throughout. Lukens and Jen-
nings were the battery for Lehighton and
put up good ball. Their team work was
fine but one error being made. Lehighton
made two runs in the third inuing on a
throw of Heffron's from third to the
catcher in an attempt to cut off run. The
ball struck the runner and rolled under the
grand stand, two men scoring. In the
fourth and fifth innings they also scored
one run on errors. Ashland had on its
batting clothes and the little German band
played ON Lukens balls for nine base hits
Eagan and Brill led the batting for our
team, while almost all the players hit Lu-
kens safely. The hits were all scattered
and did not yield many runs. AT the end
of the seventh inning Lehighton refused
TO play any longer, claiming that they had
but few minutes to catch the homewafd
train. As the station is but a few yards
from the Park and the train was not lue
for fnlly twenty minutes the umpire re-
quested that they play another inning and
on the failure of the visitors to do so
awarded the game to Ashland by score
of to o. The management of the home
club however, desires to win its victory on
its merits, and as Lehighton was in the
lead when the game ended, refused to
claim the game. The score follows:
Lehighton----O 0 21 1 0 o.
Ashland----O 2 0 0 l 0-3
Manager Reber took his brave band of
ball tossers to Tamaqua on last Saturday
to play the club of that place. The boys
were in good spirits and hopeful of victory
but alas, how sad it is to be disappointed,
but it was not their day to win-in other
words they were not in it-with Gormley
it was his day at last. A special train was
run oyer the Central r. r. to accommodate
the large delegations from Lehighton,
Mauch Chunk, Lansford and other points
and an enthusiastic crowd of over twelve
hundred were on hand to cheer their re-
spective faYorites TO victory. Lehighton
lost the game through costly fielding errors,
and their utter failure to bat Gorm!ey.
The game opened with Tamaqua at bat
and they were retired as was also Lehigh-
ton without scoring. Tamaqua drew first
blood in the second inning when they
Tailed one on errors of Simmons and Yen
ser. They increased the lead in the fourth
by scoring three runs on costly errors of
Simmons and two single base hits. Their
last run was made ON Chambers drop OF a
thrown ball and a base hit. Lehighton
failed to score until the fifth when they
earned run on base hit by Chambers
his steal of second and another clean hit
by Christman. In the eighth inning
O'Hara reached first on balls and Yenser
was hit by pitched ball, Jennings hit a
long fly to Mcdonnell who caught it but
made poor throw to first and O'Hara and
Yenser both scored The features of the
game we're Gormley's wonderful pitching
-he striking ont twelve men and allowing
them only two hits. RothermaPs magnif-
cent work at short, he accepting all of his
eight chances some of them being remark
able stops and Jennings throwing 10 bases
Simmons our old reliable at second had
his FIRST on day of the season. Both teams
have now won two games and the fifth and
deciding game will be played soon on the
home grounds when It is hoped our boys
win turn the tables. Score by innings:
