Another Acrob attic Catch.

Fully twenty-five hundred people wit
messed the defeat of the home team by the
Altoona club on the Trotting park base
ball grounds and had an opportunity to
judge well the spots of the home diamond
chasers in which the greatest weaknesses
prevail.
Notwithstanding the large margin bv
which the visitors won the game and the
heavy batting they INDUCED in the home
club made very gallant uphill fight.
That most of the players were outclassed
there can be no doubt. In fact the man
agement did not look for victory. Be
fore the game started some of the officials
SAID they would be satisfied If the ponies
would try to put up game that would
show the spectators that they tried to
win.
As a matter of fact the Altoona club
was an eleventh hour acquisition of the
management. The RoyersfOrds held the
date all last week until Saturday after
noon then they found they could not come
The PhoeniXvilles teleRraphed late in the
day that they would fill the date, but
in the evening again telegraphed that
they could not come and if ever there was
a base ball manager in hot water Mr.. j
Kelly was one. He spent over three dollars
a kilograms before he received assurance
at 10 p. m. that the Altoonas would be
on deck. This is a full explanation as to
why it was not definitely known by many
people until almost the last moment what
outside club would play here. The un-
certainty caused some rumors of fake"
but the truth OF the matter is the manage
ment eXerted itself in face of a sore dis
appointment to give the people a good re-
turn for their money.
The Altoonas took a winning lead in
the first inning by making three singles

The pitchers arm was in poor condition,
but he struggled along with pretty fair
success until the fourth inning, when a
base on balls and another hit discouraged
him and he retired from the box, taking

went to the bat after the change, Young.
man, whacked the ball for three bagger,
but for the rest of the game Mulderig
held the visitors down to four singles and
a two bagger.
The visitors were full of blooded
sluggers and put the home team to IA test
which brought out some very pretty
fielding. Little Toman did excellent
work at short and figured in two exciting
double plays. In the sixth inning, after
the visitors had scored two runs by a
double, a single and two passed balls,
Toole retired the side bv an acrobatic

head for fully five seconds and the put

Up to the close of the fifth inning Shen-
Andoah proved very Intellectual at the bat
and the score stood to / against them.
In the sixth inning Reilly started out

Then came the star play o. the day. John

a home run. Enthusiasm ran high, but

Immediately changed to S to when the
visitors played their part of the inning.
In the seventh inning the home team
got another batting streak. After Toman
and Reilly had been retired on flies Setley
made two bagger and was advanced by
Reilly's hit, Hagen's error assisted both
men in scoring and when Mulderig and
the side were retired by Hartman's throw
to first base the score stood s to @ in favor
of Altoona The visitors failed to score
in that inning, but in the eighth they
made the ball hum and prevented the
home players from scoring in that inning
and the ninth. The Shenandoahs got a
case of bad rattle in the eighth and when
three of the visitors were in fox chase
failed to retire any of them.
Watchdogs were chained TO the bases
during the entire game and the only man
who succeeded in purlOinlng a bag was
