NEVIyS HIT THU BAIL.
Made the Greatest Hit Ever Wit
messed on the Home
Grounds.
TWO HOME RUNS IN HIS NET
MERRIMAN ALSO USED THE BAT WELL
YESTERDAY AND MADE TWO Op-
FORTUNE THREE-BAGGERS.
The Home Team Put Up an Excellent
Game With the Exception of
the Men at Short Stop and
Centre Field.

The home team is rapidly retrieving
itself. Yesterday it put up as an exciting
a game at the Trotting park as ever seen
on the grounds r nd that it did not defeat
Hazleton with hands down was due to
one or two streaks of hard luck in the
| first three innings, incompetency on t.
part of Clark at short and an apparent
Indifference on the part of McCoach
The latter has not put up a good game
this season and there is a pretty general
sentiment that Manager Brennan should
put him on the bench for a while. Clark
work at short was very unsatisfactory, in
fact disgusting at times and threw cold
water upon the enthusiasm of the audi
once repeatedly.
King, Little, McGarvey, Sewers and
Nevins put up an excellent game. The
| latter distinguished himself by making
two hits over the centre field fence, one
of them being the greatest hit ever seen
on the grounds. 1t was high, beautitui
curve, and the ball fell away beyond the
fence. Merriman also did good stick
work.
The Shenandoahs opened the game by
scoring four runs on a base on balls,
three hits, wild pitch and an error in
left field by Donavan. The Hazleton's
tied the score on base on balls, four hits
and a dropped fly by McCoach. Both
sides failed to score in the second.
Little opened the third inning by giving
the ball an elegant whack, but Rother
mel pulled the ball in with his left hand
while on run and threw the batter out
at first. The catch was heartily ap
plauded, although it was an accidental
one. Even Rothermel hardly realized
that he had thrown it. Merriman struck
out and Carey made a hit. McGarvey
hit the ball terrible blow, but the
sphere dropped into McVey's hands. The
two catches in this half of the inniug
were attributed to pure hard luck against
the home team. Hazleton increased its
score and took the lead on hit by
Shields and home run by Shaub.
In the fourth inning Clark started with
hit and Nevins followed with his great
hit, tieing the score Sewers went out OH
a fly to Donovan, McCoach and King
scored hits and Little got his base Oh
Il
of enthusiasm at tais point, but went
almost frantic with delight when Merri-
man made three bagger and brought
McCoach, King and Little home Merri-
man was now the hero of the hour and
the spectators were hoping that he would
reach home, as reward for his hit, but
he did not get there, Carey going out on
foul fly to Moore and McGarvey being
retired on a fly to centre field. The
Hazletons failed to score in their half of
this inning, leaving the score to III
favor of the home team. Rothermel went
out on a splendid running catch by Nc
Garvey. McVey got his base on Merri-
mans error and Donovan got his base on
balls. After Shields went out on fly to
Nevins, Mccartney got his base on balls
and the situation became critical for the
home team, all the b"ses being full, but
relief came by Shaub going out on fly
TO McGarvey.
Nevins added a three. bsgger to his
record, but it was of no use, as Clark had
previously gone out on fly to McVey
and Sewers and McCosch struck out.
Moran scored in the last half on hits by
Rothermel and McVey. The home team
played we'll in this inning, as the Halle
tons threatened to tie the score. Moore
was the first batter, but went out on a
fly to McGarvey. Jordan followed with
two bagger and Moran got around to
second on McCoach's throw in to home
plate, where King retired Jordan. Rother
mel made hit and scored on an error by
Clark McVey also made hit but was
retired at second in fox chase by Merri
man to Clark, Rothermel being held at
third in the meantime.
In the seventh the home team increased
it's score to 10 by King getting his base
on balls and Little making a Two -bagger.
] In the second half the Hazletons made
r four runs and took the lead. Donavan
r started out with a base on balls, but was
retired at second while trying to steal by
Kings throR to second. Shields, Nc
Carfrey, Shaub and Moore scored hits
in succession, the first three men scoring
and tieing the home teams score, and the
leading run WAS scored on an error by
