and Ward, and Tooles put out in the eighth
inning, when he captured a long driven foul

ping it just as the applause burst forth.
When the game opened there was an almost
general belief that the home team would
wind up at the tail end. The visitors were
full of confidence and seemed to place great
hopes on Keener, Seeds and KID Williams
who had been brought down from the upper
regions to win the first regular game Of the
season between the two clubs. There was a
somethingness in the air that made many be-

the two, and the fear was realized to some ex-
tent before the close of the game. Frank
Henry did not put up near his usual game at
second, and Martin can thank the activity of
Ward and good judgment of w. Henry for
not having three errors charged against him.
Two of them were bad ones, too. His throw
ing was considerably Off color.
l..
during the first two innings, but later showed
that he is good pitcher He gave Martin,
the first batter, his base on balls, and Stewart
followed with a two base hit that brought the
first run in. Frank Henry also got his base
on balls, but he and Stewart failed to score by
W. Henry going out at first and Toole and
Scanlan striking out. Mulvey, Brown and
Keener were retired on flies
In the second inning Shenandoah took
decided lead by scoring six runs on four hits
and four errors. Keeners bad judgement was
mainly responsible for the advantage that was
secured.
The story of the play is this There was
one run in and two men out. Ward then
made hit and advanced to second on
passed ball. Martin then got his base on
balls, after which Stewart batted to Keener,
who, instead of holding the ball to put out
Ward between second and third, threw wild
to Mulvey and allowed the three bases to be
filed. w. Henry then went to the bat and
brought the three runs in on a long drive to
right field. This seemed to rattle the visitors
and on an error by O'Boyle hit by F. Hen
ry, and errors in fielding the ball by Cleary
and Williams, both Toole and F. Henry were
enabled to score before Scanlan struck out
and made the total score seven runs for Shen-
andoah.
| Mahanoy City succeeded by Wards error
and two hits in getting Seeds, Williams and
Richards on the three bases, but the side was
retired before run could be scored Huntz-
niger went out before Richards got to base by
Bradley keeping Seeds on third base and yet
throwing to first in time. O'Boyle went out
on foul to Messitt after Richards reached
first. When Bleary hit the ball Bradley got
it, and with his usual good Judgement held it
long enough to deter Seeds from running
home, but not too long to prevent the ball
from getting to first in time to put the runner
out and the three men were left on their re.
spective bases. Bradley was warmly ap-
plauded.
Shenandoah did not score in the third, the
men going out in short order, two of them on
strikes. Mahanoy City scored two runs.
Brown made a hit and was brought home on
Seeds three bagger. The latter scored on
passed ball.
In the fourth inning Toole caused great
enthusiasm by bringing Stewart and W.
Henry home by a hard drive and making the
score 8 to in the home teams favor.
Mahanoy City had an excellent opportunity
in the fifth, but only succeeded il getting one
run in There was a hit and three errors
here. The first batter was Brown and he
sent ball to the field between center and
right. W. Henry caught it after a splendid
run, but dropped it. In this inning Frank
Henry made two costly errors which allowed
Brown to score, but the Giant Henry made
up for his error by making two nice catches
in right field which, with Huntzinger struck
out left Keener on third and kid" Williams
ON first.
1t was in the seventh inning that Brown
made his double play unassisted and retired
! the side. Toole had reached first on Keeners
