The second game between the home team
aud the Pottstowns at the Trotting park was
pretty tame affair for the irst four innings

quite wild and was hit pretty lively and
seven fielding errors were made by the visit
ors.
After the the fourth inning the Pottstowns
played an errorless game and held down the
score until seventh, when single and two
three baggers gave the home team three more
runs. In the eighth and ninth the visitors
played steady and prevented runs.
Up to the fifth inning the Shenandoahs
played with but one error and the visitors
were unable to score until the fifth, when

the visitors and Weand made good showing
at third.
