What could be called professional bal
playing was the game between the Young
Mems Christian association club, OF
Wilkes-Barre, and the Anthracite club, oi
Moosic, on the Moos.c grounds Saturday
afternoon. Luckey and O'Neil, the bat.
ter for Moosic, were simply superb
Luckey striking out fifteen men. O'Neils
support behind the bat calls for special
mention, as his throws to bases held the
runners on bases. so that stolen bases
were impossible. The field work Of Mul.
roney, Heston and Young could not be sur.
passed. The team appearing for the first
time In their new suits seemed to inspire
them to play ball and they certainly did
1t. The game was won by the Anthracite
club by a score Of Z to 10.
