1t Itrsquired twelve innings to decide
yesterdays game between the home
team aud Erie, aud when the former
won the applause that began on the
bleachers aud was chorussd from the
grand stand awoke the echoes about
LesgsJts Gap
II wns game remarkable alike FOR
errors and slugging in which Doth
clubs took an active part
The score was II to 10.
Costly errors by StaltZ aud Massey
made the additional innings accessory.
Otherwise Scranton would have won
in nine innings, even though Pitcher
Doran did lose his nerve iu the ninth
aud allow the visitors TO send the
horse hide sphere hying in all dlrsc
tions through the ou,tield.
Until the tifth inning the home club
played an oven, steady game, aud
found Pitcher McGinuis often aud
vigorously with the willow. When
the Fries came in from the field for
their half OF the fifth inning ths score
was to G. Before they consented 10
70 in,o the ou,iisld again. the score
was tied
Then St.yker went into the box for
the visitors and on hits by Hogan,
Wetz-l, W-stlake and r ese, assisted
by errors OF Knshns AMI Smith, four
runs We're scored. The drive made by
Reese was a home run, the second made
GU the grounds.
THE SCORE TIED.
In the eighth the visitors added two
runs 10 their score snt when the ninth
opened 1t stood to 70 Scranton failed
TO score and Pitcher Stryker walked to
the plate for the visitors with his fa-
vorite willow IL his hands AMI the ad-
monition OF Captain Field to hit hard
and low ringing In his ears
lie obeyed instructions. The ball
sailed gracefully ont in Is safe spot in
the field and the official scorer marked
down a thrse-bass hit 10 the credit Of
Mr. Stryker, while the cranks looked
on with moist eyes Hits by Nichol-
son, Smith, Lally Vandyke and Field
followed in rapid succession, but
spirited play on the part Of the home
team prevented the visitors from doing
more than tying the score
1t was clear that Fields men had
measured ths length and breadth Of
Pitcher Dorau, and after that awful
inning Manager Swift decided TO take
him out OF the box
Scranton could not add TO its total Of
runs in the tenth and the visitors were
retired in one, two three order The
eleventh inning opened with the cranks
in fever Of excitement and again the
home team was unable 10 score.
Tns visitors came In aud Sharon
went to the plate. He reached fret on
Massey's error and Smith sent low
ball in the direction OF first, which
Massey gathered up, He endssvored
TO cut Sharon off at second, but Wet
Eel let the ball pass and Sharon
sCampered to third amid an ominous
silence from the grand stand,
1t was painful moment and the
crank5 gave up hope.
HUDsoNs GREAT WORK.
Laly, the next batter, sent the
spheTe ont into the field, but Sharon
was cut off at the plate and the game
saved. Right at this point HOdson
justified his claim to being a great
pitcher by striking out Vandybe and
Field, leaving the game still unwon.
The excitement at the beginning of
the twelfth was intense. Patchen
opened the fireworks with three base
hit and scored on Massey's sacrifice. A
neat double play on the part of
Kuehne and Field when the bases were
filled prevented further scoring
Kuehne Of the visitors died at first and
Gunson followed his example. Stryker
was foolish enough to send fly into
Hogans territory and Of course it was
trapped,
That ended the game; Scranton had
won and the cranks proceeded to en-
thuse. The score:
