Wilmer Black, the wilmington's
catcher who just returned from his
wedding trip supported Smith in his
somewhat erratic delivery, and showed
great activity and good throwing to
bases.
Sullivan did not have very many
chances at short, but he made the best
plays of his life on the chances that he
had. One Of the two errors against Nc
Laughlin was excusable, while that of
Speidel's, which no one but the umpire
seemed to see, was case Of hard luck
The visitors played winning ball in
their first inning, but they could not
keep up the speed. Mckee, Petit and
Schenck made one base hits in the order
named. The first two scored on subse-
quent hits, but Schenck went out at sec
ond. Lally flied out to Galligan. Lau-
man and Doyle made singles; Lang
reached first on balls, but all three were
left by Horner being put out by Spei-
del, unassisted. The score was 2 to l in
favor of New Haven
The Score is Tied.
The home team went ahead in the
second inning, by making two runs. Gal
| hgan, base on balls, stole second and
scored on hits by Halpin and Black.

scored. Sullivan flied out to DOYLE. The

on Doyle's error and scored as Lally

to Doyle Black and Smith struck out.
New Haven had FIVE men at the bat in
this inning, but two were left on bases
and no runs were made. The score was
8 to in Wilmingtons S favor.
For the next three innings the home
club made desperate efforts to score. but
the players were retired, leaving one man
each time In the fourth inning the
visitors made run. Mckee was the
batter and he got to first on tumble by
Mclaughlin, which was unusual. Mckee
stole second and reached third on Smiths
wild pitch. A base hit by Schenck
brought him home.
New Haven Makes One.

the sixth inning, but were retired with
one run. Mckee began with a base on

next three men went out on two flies and
foul fly.

and went to second on Doyle's wild throw
to first; he went to third on a sacrifice
hit by Black and home on a wild pitch.

was put cut by Speidel unassisted. Petit,
foul tip to Black; Schenck. fly to Cor
coran. Thus the fateful eighth inning
was passed and Wilmington was still
ahead.
The base ball cranks were apprehen-
sive that the visitors might do something
in the last inning, but they did not The
home club started off with Sullivan. who
was put out at first. Coreoran, base on
balls, retired with Mclaughlin on q
double play by Horner, Petit and
Schenck. Lally, for New Haven, made
long hit into left field, but Galligan

Z to 5.

game, but were much better at the bat. |

bases, but sharp playing by Wilmington |
held them down Schenck, their big |
first baseman, made two singles, a double
and a triple hit.
The Game.
The game was called by Umpire J. ]. |
Kelley at 3 minutes after o'clock, and |
Hasney went to the bat. The ground |
was in splendid condition. Friend Has |

Langs tumble. Corcoran flied out to
Petit. and Mclaughlin made two-base

The game contained an apt illustration
of the fact that the men who work the
ardest get the least runs. Schenck, the
heavyweight first basman o f the New
Haven. made four hits with a total of
seven bases and yet he did not reach the
home plate once. His hits brought home
four runs, but he was left on a base every
time.
Petit played splendid game at second
in spite of his error from over-confdence
Galligan was the hero of the day and
was more instrumental in Wilmington's
victory than any other player.
The score.
