Remarks by Them.

The tale of woe was repeated at the
Trotting park yesterday afternoon. The
home State League base ball team sur
fered another defeat. rhis ime it was
the Lancasters who did tue trick. 1t was
the same old story. The Sdenandoahs
started o1t well, but somebody went
wrong at a critical point aud then every.
body seemed to get wheels in his head
The playing in the first inning pleased
the spectators very much and they settled
down to see good contest In the second
inning their confidence received slight
/ shock. In the third it was compile ely
| shattered, and before tie game was over
all but four of the spectators left the
grand stand, although they did not num-
ber many at any stage of the game
Several times it was clear that the home
players were not disposed to exert them
selves. Nevins was the first TO make a
break in the goJd work and figured con
splcuously in the degeneration during the
| whole game.
Merriman started the game with hit,
but went out with McCoach on a double
play by Stout and Meyers. Little was re-
tired on StouL's throw to Meyers. Cargo
and Cappel went out on flies to King and
| Reagan was retired on foul fly to Lee
Ihe latter put up an excellent game up
to the close of the contest.
King, the first batter for the home
team, in the second inning, went out on
a foul fly to Cappel Ford made a hit
and was advanced by McGarvey's. Clark
got his base on balls and Lee went out on
a foul fly to Arthur. Nevins got his base
on balls and Ford was forced home. Nc.
fGarvey scored when Merriman got his
| first on Meyers error and the side was re-
tired by Clark being thrown out at third
| by Meyers after he recovered the muffed
ball. In the last half Nevins gave Sc
bold and Stout their bases on balls and
Yeager brought the two men home with
a two bagger. Nevins then struck out
Meyers after giving him three balls.
Nevins got Yeager into fox chase be-
tween second and third and the player
went out near second on throw by Ford
to Little. Arthur went out on a fly tC
| McCoach, who made a nice catch ano
gave the first indication of the season Oh
his part of desire to play ball.
In the third inning the visitors scored
three runs after two men had been retired,
and it was due to Nevins' poor fielding.
Yerkes was the first batter and struck
out onthe first three balls thrown over the
plate. Cargo went out on a fly to Nc
Garvey. Reagan sent a slow grounder tC
Nevins, who ran with the runner hall
way to first and then made bad throw
to Little, giving Reagan his base. Cappe
brought Reagan home on two bagger
Sebold got his base on balls and he and
Yeager then struck out
In the fifth inning three more runs
were added to the score of the visitors Oh
hits by Cappel and Yeager and errors by
Nevins and McGarvey.
Nevins started the seventh inning with
a three bagger and got home when Merri
man went out on fly to Sebold. Nc
Coach got his base on balls, Little was
retired on a foul fly to Arthur and Nc
Coach went out at the plate on the throw
in from the center field after King haC
made a hit In the last half thu
home team was slaughtered. Tw,
three base hits, three doubles anC
two singles, all we'll punched, and tw,
bases on balls brought In nine runs
There was only one error. That wal
made by Merriman. He and Clark were
after the ball and as it descended tn
former threw his hands apart and allowe,
the ball to fall to the ground. His ex
PLANTATION for the misplay was that tn
captain failed to designate which OF th'
two men was to make the play.
In the eighth inning Yerkes, the frs
batter for che visitors went out on fly t,
King. Cargo got to first on an error by
, McCoscb. Three singles, two stolel
bases and base on balls made five NOR
runs and increased the total score for tn
visitors to 80 runs. Meyers and Arthu
were then thrown out at first by Nevlns
The last spasm was brief. Lee made
hit, Nevins went out on a fly TO Stout
Merriman flew out to Cappel, McCoaol
got his base on Cargo's error aud Littl
struck out, retiring che side and leaving
the result 20 to 3 in favor of the visitors
