the victors. 1t was almost perfect and none
dare hope to see better contest on the home
diamond
The Removes came here with strong team
and had Barnett, formerly of Won Der Ahe's
famous St. Louis Browns, with them as their
pitcher. He pitched an excellent game, but
he was not "in it" with our own setey when
pitching was mostly needed. Up to the close
of the ninth inning there were but four hits
off Barnett and only two off Setley. After
that inning the home team made four more
hits while the visitors succeeded in only
getting one additional off Setley's delivery.
The latter certainly proved that he is a
wonderful man in the box when he gets
down to work and does not allow himself to
be ratified. For a strong team to secure only
three hits off his delivery in twelve inning
game is record to which he can point to
proudly for the rest Of his life.
The game was the best ever played in this
section of the state and the features of it. aside
from setley's pitching, were great centre
field catch by Frank Henry and Toman's
general work at short.
Fulmer, the Tamaqua veteran, also did
great work and Ward aud Fox are deserving
of compliments.
Stout put up an excellent game at short fol
the visitors and Moran was like stone wall
at centre field, Nothing could get beyond
his reach.
Of the five runs made by the two sides only
one was earned and that was the one made
by Shenandoah in the third inning. The one
| scored by the same team in the seventh was
made on hit McCarty's error and a wild
pitch. The deciding run was brought in by
Ross wild through to first when the home
team should heve been retired without a run
for their half of the twelfth innings The
two runs scored by Remove were due to bad
Judgment of left field fly by Martin and an
error by Fox.
Wards base stealing is worthy of mention.
He stole to second in the first, third, fifth and
seventh innings.
The first run Of the game was scored in the
third inningin this wise; After Messitt went
out on a fly to Day, Fulmer whacked the ball
for a two-bagger, stole to third and got
homo on a wild pitch. Ward and Ed. Henry
got their bases on balls and each stole to Sec
ond, but before they could score Fcx struck
out and TOman went out on a fly to Stout.
The Removes had luck in the third inning.
Barnett got his first on Fox's error, Ross
went out on Ed. Henry's throw to Fox and
Fulmer bagged Cassidy's foul fly. Moran
then sent beautiful fly to left field, but
Martin misjudged it and the ball went bound.
ing to the fence, Barnett and Moran scoring.
McCarty then went out on a fly to Toman.
The home team had the small end of the
game until the seventh inning, when it tied
the score with the aid of hit, an error and a
wild pitch. Messitt made the hit, was ad
vanced by McCarthy's muff of ball hit by
Ward and scored on the wild pitch. The
excitement was at high pitch when the tie
run was made.
After the seventh both sides seemed to
play for blood, but in the eighth the home
team had hair breadth escape. Barnett was
the first to bat for tho visitors in the last hall
of that inning and Setley hit him with the
ball. Ross went out ON a fly to Ed. Henry
and then Cassidy was hit by pitched ball
This put two good men on the first and
second bags and good batters were following
them. Moran gave the ball whack, but
Setley stopped it neatly and threw Barnett
out at third. This left Cassidy on second and
Moran on first. Then came grand hit to
centre by Mccarthy, The ball scared high
through he air and merry.go round ensued.
1t looked as if the visitors had at least two
more runs, but to the amazement Of all
Frank Henry pulled down the ball as he
staggered backwards against the centre field
fence and retired the side, 1t was a wonder
full catch and the spectators expressed their
appreciation Of it by prolonged cheers and
applause,
Fulmer made a hit in the ninth in.

after two men were out, but his efforts
were in vain by the INABILITY of Ward to hit
the ball hard enough and when Barnett
threw the second base man out at first it re-

The Removes were retired in the ninth in.
