TOO MUCH FOR Us .
Renova Gives the Home Team
a Defeat.
TIE CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Battling and Excellent Fielding Gave
the Visitors the Yictory-The Shenandoah
Players We're Lacking in Both Respects.
Timely Opportunities Escaped.

The home base ball team suffered de-
feat at the hands of Jeanesville on Satur-
day by score of 3 to aud then essayed
to play the Renovs team, but was met
with a much worse defeat the score being
the same as in the game with Altoona
- too.
When the players returned from Jeanes-
vile on Saturday night they claimed that
the umpire of the game at that place had
beaten them, but no such claim could be
made on the Renova game. The umpire
was by no means perfect but when he
made mistakes the home team was bene-
fitted as much as the visitors were and
many OF the spectators thought the
Renovas got slightly the worst of it.
The visitors played with almost clock
work precision, batted hard when they
hit the ball, punched their hits and made
them count when they were needed, and
lielded with promptness and certainty
jhat gave the home players no undue on
pOrtuuities. On the other hand the home
team, with the exception of the two
special players, proved comparatively
weak and uncertain at the bat and were
ragged In fielding There were several
occasions when timely hitting would
have brought in runs which would have
eventually led to tie score or close fin
lsh, but the majority of the team proved
unequal to the occasion. TOman sur
prlsed his friends by striking out three
times out of the four he went to the bat.
Frank Henry redeemed himself bv
hitting the ball three times and two OF
them were counted hits. Mcdonald went
TO the bat fiye times and hit the ball every
time, making home run, a two bagger
and three singles, although it should be
admitted that the home run was due to
the ball becoming lost in "A clumn Of
laurels in the left field. This was In the
first inning.
The attendance at the game was very
large and about the same as that at the
Altoona game.
The visitors started their side of the
game by scoring three earned runs, Poor
man, Stout and Mccarthy each making a
hit in rotation, the first named two scor
ing on the latter's hit and Mccarthy
scoring on Toole's throw in after Welchjs
fly had been caught.
The start looked as If Mulderfg was
a little off on his pitching, but after the
hrst inning he warmed up to his work
ana had he been properly supported his
record for the game would have showed
up in the summary much better than il
does There was only one other inning
in which the Removals made three hits
and they were not punched as i'm the first.
There were no brilliant features in the
game and there was really only one occa-
sion when the spectators .re in a state
OF ,Dreathless expectation and that was
IN the sixth inning, when the score stood |
nine to tourin favor of the visitors. RYAN
got his base on balls and went out at |
second Setley escaped the attempted |
double play on McCarthy's bad throw to |
first and held the bag at the latter point. |
Ioole made hit and advanced Setley |
and Henry followed with another |
hit, Setley going to third. Mul- |
derig made hit and Setley scored, |
but when TOole attempted to score he was !
thrown out by third base to catcher. |
This left two men on bases and two men |
out and all depended upon little Toman |
TO advance the men and secure first base |
for himself when one of the heavy batters |
Mccormick, would be depended upon for
a good hit, but Toman was UNEQUAL to the |
occasion and struck out for the third |
time. The jubilation remained corked |
up. The score was as follows;
