THE PEANUT
MEN BEATEN.
Coal Diggers Too Much for Them
Yesterday.
THE VISITORS WERE EASY.
Their Fielding Was Very Loose and the
Home Team Had a Batting Streak,
Weikert and MuSSer Especially.

Weikert and MuSSer Especially.
King Kelley's giants of the state league |
fell victims to the prowess Of the home |
club at the Trotting park yesterday after !
noon before a small but very enthusias- |
tic audience. The Sheuandoahs put mp |
very satisfactory game and at times
aroused the audience to cheers, but the
peanut men played on a style that almost
bordered on the burlesque.
Each side started the game on the rag
ged edge plan, both pitchers being very
wild and the score commenced to creep
up'with lightning rapidlty but a change
OF twirlers altered the complexion of the
contest and prevented a scrub game
Mulderig started to pitch i'm the first in
ming for the AllentOwns and gave Ashen-
bach his base on balls. A pitched ball
struck Captain Meyers on the shoulder
and he took his base Mulderig then
filled the bases by giving Gill four balls,
and after Weikert had been given three
balls Milligan stopped the game and put
Donahoe in the box, kilrOy getting in the
game and taking first base, Mulderg
going to the bench.
Donahoe was unable to avoid giving
Weikert the fourth ball and Ashenbach
was forced home. The audience was in
Musser soon awakened them to great en-
thusiasm by making a rafting three base
hit which brCught home Myers, Gill and
Weikert. O'Hara went out on Sweeney's
throw to first, Ross struck out, Messitt
brought in Musser and went out on
,Wise's throw to Sweeney of light ball
hit by Watkins.
Wstkins, Ghe new Shenandoah pitcher
from Brooklyn, started in wild. He gave
Wood his base on balls and hit Wise
Cape. Myers, profitjng by Allentown's
experience, decided upon an early change
and put DUnkle in the box. The latter
gave McCOoCh his base on balls, and
two rattling hits and a passed ball landed
Wise, Wood, McCOoch and Mulvey at the
plate before the inning closed leaving
the score 5 to in favor of the Scranton
heirs.
In the second inning two errors, base
OB balls and two safe hits enabled the
coal diggers to add three runs to their
score bat the peanut men went out in
0ne-twO.three order ON flies bagged by
Weikert, O'Hara and Messitt
In the third Ross was thrown out at
. first by Mulyey. The latter also recovered
. Messltus ball, but made an awful throw
{. to first and the popular little catcher ran
, around to the plate before the ball was re-.
covered from the back of the grand stand
Dunkle struck out. Ashenbach and
( Meyers got their bases ON errors by MuI-
VI
as Illl went out on fly to Wood. The
AllentOwns were again retired iu short
order on throws to first hv Duukle and
Myers and fly to Ashe. Iuh
Welkert started the fourth inning for
the home team by making beautiful
drive over the centre field fence. The
cheers and applause that welcomed the
batsman as he walked over the plate was
sufficient to swell his head for the balance
Of the season, but he was modest i'm his
Acknowledgements of the ovation Mus
ser went out on fly to Costello, O'Hara
got his base ON balls, Ross got to first on
6Weeheys error and stole TO second
Wise threw O'Hara out at the plate with
ball hit by Alessitt and Dunkle brought
Ross and Messit home with a three.bagger.
Dunkle landed at the plate when Ashen- |
bach got his first on an error by Sweeney
and the coal diggers' score was increased
to l3. GLll struck out after Myers rot his !
base on balls, retiring the side. The |
Allentowns got five men to the bat i'm |
TINS inning, but only two got TO bases and |
they failed to score.
The Shenandoahs added two more runs
to their score in the fifth, the inning hav-
ing been opened with a single by Weikert |
followed by three base hit by Musser |
who landed home on kilroy's error After !
this inning the playing of the A lleutOWus !
improved considerable and the coal dig |
gers sent up q number of lies which !
gracefully fell into the hands of the |
tielders
In the fourth inning, when Allentown
was at the bat and Sweeney scored it was
feared the home team was going to pieces.
Sweeney got his first on WykerU dropping
a fly in the right field, was advanced to
second on wild pitch and landed home
on Musser's error, but the two errors re-
ceived no company. The second run in
the fourth was made by kilroy on a clean
hit by himself and one by Wood.
The two runs scored by Allentown in
the sixth were made on a three-bagger
by Donahoe, a two-bagger by Wood and
three-bagger by McCOOcb
In the seventh inning the peanut men
made their ninth and last run by Dona-
hoe getting to first while Musser was
throwing Sweeney out at second advanc-
ing to third on wild pitch and landing
home on Kilroy's hit.
The Shenandoahs made good efforts to
score IN the eighth and ninth innings, but
.he Allentowns were retired in short or
Ter. Score:
