The Scranton Team Enjoys Another
Pleasant Slide.

Pleasant Slide.
This is the way it happened:
1t was the eighth inning with the
score 0 to In favor Of Scranton, three
Allentown men on bases and King
Kelly at the bat. Four bad ball from
lanky Mr. QuaTles and the "Old SpOrt'
got astride his charley horse and
forced In the tieing run. Mr.. Sweeney,
No. 2, the new shortstop, hit beauti-
full ball to right field and scored Kilroy
and Baldwin. And thus it ended.
II was proved that we have stron /.
batting team and good folders, leaving
the pitchers box out OF the question.
Mr. Quarles is only fairly good. Cahiil
will do all right. johnson is a star.
Patchen cannot BIZ improved upon.
Hoover averages up we'll. Leblanc is a
tour Of strength all around Smith
and Hickey will get along all right af.
ter they have played alongside QUE an
other a few games more, Rogers is
batting well, but he cannot play right
field. This is the only weak spot On
the team aud this gap will be filled up
ere long.
The game was lost yesterday not
on errors but because of poor
team work, and that tired field
ing, probably resulting from the
fact that our team WAS on the
road good part OF the night aud all
morning coming from Erie. One f.
that Smith and Hoover started for
dropped within reach of either and an
other which Rogers shouted that he
could get and which Cahill let 60,
bounded away into right fisld Thess
two cases OF misjudgment were re-
sponsibls for the runs
To make the agony still more IN
bsarsble, Muligan said something
saucy to Mr.. Ksttriek and was tinei
$40 Costello refused to go to the
bench and several times was impudent.
Finally. Kettrick in tn eighth inning
put him out Of the gam9; out, at the
earnest solicitation Of Captain Kelly,
the punishment was changed to u S25
fine. Many were of the opinion that
Mr.. Kettrick was too ofloious, and ex-
pressed the opinion that he is not a
good umpire. President Powers was
present aud can decide Larry's eff
cheney. King Kelly's horse play and
general freshness assisted very msteri-
ally in making the audience tired.
The best feature OF the game was
Lehane's drive to leftin the eighth in.
ming, which brought in Patchen and
Hoover and put US ahead OF Allen
town. The game was ours il this lead
could only be increased, but Mr. Qusrles
was not equal to the occasion. He gave
three men bases on balls and two Of
them scored before the side could b.
retired.
In the first inning Allentown had
three men on bases when not liner

tured iE and threw his arms in all di-
rections in the endeavOr to touch any,
thing smelling of peanuts. Kelly, who
was on third, being forcsd off by Kill
roy started in home. Hickey threw to
hsad him off and the bali was sent
from Patchen to Quarlss in time
to meet Kelly when he jumped
for the plate. Then came a
question as to who was out; whether
Hickey had touched third before Kill
roy reached it, whether he touched Kill
roy or Kelly, or both, and whether or
not Killy had been put out at home
Ketiick decided that Kelly only was
out, and credited the put out to Quarlos
at the home plate.
