ball game and better satisfied audience
never left the grounds. The contest be-
tween King Kelly's nine and the home
club was a hummer and after the third
inning the outbursts Of cheers and APP
plause followed each other in rapid sue
cession. Fully two thousand people wit
messed the game.
Only those who were in attendance can
fully appreciate the merits Of the contest
and realize that, Notwithstanding the
poor showing it has made in the state
league thus far, the Shenandoah club is
good one. Yesterday the Allentowns
batted like fiends, but the home club kept
down the runs by superb fielding. The
peanut men put in their strongest battery
and it did we'll 1t also distinguished it
self by kicking on several of the umpire's
decisions, but so far as that part Of the
game is concerned the Shenandoahs also
suffered from the judgment of Mr.. John
X. Dalton, and on that score the teams
were about quits.
The game started well, Ashenbach,

cession on fly to McCooch one to Sweeney
and throw by Wise to first. 1t was very
prettily done and many of the spec
tators remarked that Shenandoah would
be squelched. But the latter team put
up Just as good a sample of ball in the
start. Wood, Wise and McCooch went out
in short order on two throws by Musser
to first and one to the same place by
Weikert. Sentiment changed a little and
some of the skeptics allowed themselves
to believe that the Shenandoahs might
put up good game, after all. The last
time the Allentowns were here, July 1st
they won by score of l6 to 4.
In the second inning the Shenandoahs
went out on a fly to Costello and double
play by Wise and Donahoe. On the other
hand the Allentowns scored two runs on
base on balls and two hits.
The third inning passed very inglor-
iously for the home club, Ross, Messitt
and Yeager striking out in succession.
George Wood started the Allentown half
with a single and Wise added two runs to
the score by a terrific home run drive over
the centre field fence. The dazzling effect
of this was somewhat tempered by Nc
Cooch going out on a clever stop and
throw to first base, but Mulvey followed
with two-bagger and was advanced to
third by Milligan getting to first ON Gill
dropping his fly. A few moments later
Gill made reparation for this error by
bagging Costello's high fly and throwing
Mulvey out at the home plate, completing
a double play and retiring the side.
The work of the Steamboats, excited
admiration, but the golC the Allentown
had struck barred confidence in the abil-
N1tNA
half of the fourth inning, however, they
created an enthusiasm which almost
lifted the half-Completed roof off the
grand stand. Two bases on balls, two
singles and two errors by Mulvey tied the
score. The cheers and applause lasted
| fully half a minute, and it was renewed
when the Allentowns retired in their half
of the inning without a run, notwith-
standing the costly error by O'Hara.
In the succeeding three innings it was
nip and tuck, with no gain on either side
During one inning Shenandoah managed
to get three men on bases through two
| bases on balls and a failure of Wise to
complete double play to first, but no
man got beyond the second bag. The
| Allentowns failed to get man to first
during any of the three innings. Six of
them were retired by foul and fair flies
captured by Messitt, Ashen bach, Gill and
| Weikert, and the other three men went
out on throws to first by Ross and Musser.
After Myers had been retired in the
| eighth inning by Sweeney's throw tu
| Donahoe Gill made a hit, stole to second
and was brought home on Weikert's two
| bagger over Mulvey's head. Again the
| enthusiasm burst forth like lava from a
| disturbed volcano After three sharp
| trials the Shenandoahs had succeeded In
| tieing the score. The side was retired on
| Musser going out by DonahOe's toss to
| Kilroy at first and MCCOOch bagging
| O'Hara's fly. The score stood . 20 4 in
I favor of the home team. In the Allen
town half McCooch made two-baggeI
| after Wise went out on a fly TO Gill and
after Mulvey flew out to O'Hara, Mill
gan brought McCooch home by a good
single. Costello and the side went out on
a fly to Weikert, leaving the score b to 8.
In the ninth inning both sides failed 10
score, although the Allentowns secured a
! splendid opening to end the game. 1t was
/ 20 that aynpilaH d a
/ ing. After two men had been retired
| Sweeney and DOnahoe, on throws by
/ Musser and Ross to first, kilFOy made a
| hit. Wood followed with a strong low
drive to left field, which Gill stopped
neatly Kilroy had reached third base
and Wood was doing an enthusiastic act
at first base when he went out by Meyers
catching CLIPS throw-in and clapping the
ball on the merry Wood, while the latter
was uncOnsciously of the bag evidently
| expecting a throw to the plate. The
Allentowns were retired after a big kick
and the score remained a tie
In the tenth inning the ShenandoahS
again took the lead by Gill getting his
base on balls and being brought home on
a splendid tWo-bagger by Musser, bat
| when the AllentoWns went to the plate
the advantage was lost by failure o
| Ashenbach to cover a grounder. Wise
went out on a foul fly caught by Messitt
who made the capture after breaking
through the crowd McCooch got hi
first on hit and Mulvey went out on
fly to Myers Milligan then sent the bal
to centre field. The sphere wiggled abou
Ashenbach's feet until it got past then
and went rolling to the fence, McCoool
getting home in the meantime and Mill
gan remaining on first. The side was re
tired on Costello going out on a fly &
O'Hara, the catch being a brilliant an,
unexpected one, and the score again II
manned tied.
In the eleventh inning the home team
did not last long Ross got to first o
| Kilroy's tumble of the ball, but Messit
