SCRANTON VS.. SYRACUSE.
Neither Could Win in an Exciting Twelve
Inning Game.

Inning Game.
One of the most exciting games ever
played at the Base Ball park was wit
messed yesterday by $500 persons. With
the score to from the sixth inning
the game was called in the first half OF
the thirteenth inning with two Syra-
cuse men on bases and no outs. 1t was
a great game with fielding and batting
| honors almost even, and q game which
sent the crowd crazy a score of times,
| particularly during the last four in
| nings.
The failure of either club to win cam
not be ascribed to any special cause,
which means that either could have
| lost without discredit. Scranton made
| three more single hits than Syracuse,
while as many more doubles were made
| off Brown, of Scranton, than off Bar
| nett. Errors were even.
The detailed score indicates that
| Syracuse eycelled in team work. while
| Scranton did the best individual play
ing. One cause of the Scranton failure
to work properly together was Paul
Radford, but no error that he made was
! costly and he may be pardoned for his
poor showing. Radford is an outfielder
and not a shortstop, which position he
occupied in place of Captain Sweeney,
who is laid up with sprained arm.
Radford has been released by Wash
ington and has been signed by Barnie.
1t should be remembered that he only
arrived here the night preceding the
game after a tedious journey. Circum-
stances compelled him to make his
l. IT,, CT, ptt to- 4 ct,,n
sition and among strange players
whose signals he did not know.
The crowd thought-and with more
or less reason-that Umpire Herman
Doescher might improve his judgment on
balls and strikes. His work in this par
ticular manner, however, equally af-
fected each club. His field decisions
could not have been better.
Ward in the first inning scored the
first Scranton run by his hit, a sacrifice
by Brady and a wild pitch. In the sec
ond Houle hit for two bases and was
advanced to third by Johnson's hot
bouncer in front of the plate. Houle
scored on Rogers bunt, and johnson
on Browns single. which forced
Rogers out at second. Ward made a
single and was forced out at second
by Brady's hit, Radford going out at
first. Two innings, score, 20.
Syracuse first tally was made in the
third. Hess caught one for two bases,
advanced to third on a base on balls
and scored on Welch's sacrifice, Simon
and Minahan flying out to Johnson and
Brady. In the Scranton half of the
third Clark made single, reached sec
t.l.n a., ,irrt,t Gn1I
third during Houle's put-out at first and
scored. Three innings, score, Al.
In Syracuse's half Of the sixth three
runs were made, tieing the score.
Welch went to first on balls and to sec
ond on Browns inability to handle a
hot one by Simon. Minahan flew out
to johnson. Welch and Simon scored
ON Griffin's two-bagger. Power flew
out to Clark. Griffin scored on Eagan's
two-bagger. Morse fouled out to
Rogers.
During the remaining six innings not
more than three Scranton men We're at
bat in an inning, excepting five at bat
in the eighth and four in the ninth.
For Syracuse, four We're at bat in the
seventh, five in the tenth, and four in
the twelfth, only three being at bat in
the other innings
In the first of the thirteenth Minahan
reached first on Radford's tumble of
q hot one, and second on Griffin's single.
Ward, who is acting captain, then in
duced Umpire Doescher to call the game
on account Of rain, which, from a misty
sheet in the ninth inning, had developed
into fine shower.
The score.
