Shenandoah won by a score of s to 3. Yes
terday the Demorests came to town and again
suffered defeat, the home team winning by a
score of 10 to 2.
The attendance at the Trotting park
yesterday was very slim. The weather was
very unpleasant and many left the grounds
before the third inning rather than brave
the cold blasts that swept the place. Three
or four bon. fires were built at different parts
of the grounds and groups stood about them
and viewed the game from a distance.
Manager Bradigan shivered as he counted
the gate receipts and when asked if he had
rain checks handy, said that a supply of snow
checks and shovels would be on hand for the
next game.
The game was a listless one and the one.or
two good plays that would have caused en-
thusiasm on better day passed almost with.
out notice. The spectators seemed to be
frozen and would neither cheer or applaud.
Messtt made an excellent running catch of
hot fly sent out between right and center
fields but only few of the onlookers recog.
nized it and they contented themselves with
allowing simple Good boy, Messitt ~ to
pass between their chatting jaws.
The players suffered intensely from the
cold winds and it was hard for them to
handle the BALL Belts pitched and Fox
made his first appearance with the home
team as a catcher.
The Shenandoahs were aggressive from the
start and were considerably aided in the first
inning by McCooch's wilduess Ward, the
first man to the bat, was hit by the first ball
pitched, got to second on a passed ball. stole
to third and scored on Leroy's error. Tomsn
got his base on balls and was brought home
| by Fox's two.bagger and Belts brought Fox
home on a hit Ed. Henry also made hit
and both he and Belts scored on Bauswine's
three.bagger. The latter got home on Ross
error and Martin made the seventh run on a
base on balls a stolen base and passed ball
After this inning McCooch settled down tt
better work.
The Demorests didn't score until the thirt
inning and the run made then was due t,
errors. After Leroy had been retired OF
Toman's throw to first base Armstrong mad
a hit, got to second ON Wards error and thirC
on Martins, and Patchen's hit landed hin
home. McCooch preceded Patchen at the ba
and got as far as third but when he tried t.
get home Ward threw him out. Ansell an,
the side went out on a fly to Messitt, whicl
was fine catch. No one expected he woul,
make it and Patchens scoring seemed
certainty.
The Shenandoahs scored two more runs il
the fourth inning. Messitt got his base ol
balls but was retired on Shaffers throw t
second after Ward hit the ball. The latte
got to second on Leroy's muh of the catcher
throw and got to third on Tomans hit. TIL
