DELANEY'S TWO.BAGGER.
Il Worked in Three Needed Runs in the
Tenth Inning.

Tenth Inning.
According to all the rules of arith-
metic, medical jurisprudence and base
ball, Scranton should have lost to
Rochester. yesterday, but We didn't. We
won by a score of and in 10-inning
game.
Rochester tied the score to in the
seventh and it remained unbroken dur
ing the ninth. In the Rochester half
of the tenth the visitors worked in
three runs and the spectators began to
leave the grounds In the Scranton
half w. johnson and Clark went out in
quick order, and many more crestfallen
cranks slouched out of the gate. With
Rochester three runs to the good it did
not seem possible that Scranton could
win through any manner Of miracle.
But McPartlin, the unknown pitcher
for Rochester, who had twirled all
around our Johnson, lost his nerve and
went up in the air so high that seven
teen horses and as many men couldn't
pull him down. He didn't lose his head
until Lang, at short, and First Base
man Hamburg had allowed Whitehead
and Houle to reach first on errors. He
then gave Radford and Patchen first on
balls and one run was forced in. Even
then, with two men out, the bases full
and Rochester two scores ahead. it
did not seem probable that Scranton
would work in the three runs neces-
sary to win. But Manager Barnie
thought differently.
Delaney Was Substituted.
An tr1a h
tuted Delaney at bat for T. Johnson,
who had failed to make a hit during
the game. Delaney wore the same l.
don't-care look and the same cap tilted
over the same eye-a combination hard
to beat. A strike was called on him,
and another batch of spectators tried
to escape without being seem. 1t was
the third ball pitched that suited De-
laney's fancy, and he smashed it for
two bases down along the foul line into
left field.
Houle and Radford crossed the plate
with time to spare, but Patchen got in
by only an eyelash. The four runs had
been secured and the crowd showed its
appreciation by pandemonum seldom
heard on a base ball field. The air was
full Of cheers and yells for several
minutes-and Delaney. Well, it was
not surprising under the circumstances
that many persons jumped the fence
near the players bench and with the
players led Delaney and his cap over
one eye off the field
1t may have been their uniforms
that hoodooed Rochester. When Man
ager Chapman sent them to the field
for practice they looked like a bunch
Of autumn leaves in a frigid cline. The
uniforms are of a dark maroon color
and extremely odd.
T. Johnson was not In championship
form. When he, wasn't presenting
bases on balls he showed an over anxi-
ETY. to cut the plate and 1T was only by
the sharp fielding behind him that
Scranton didn't lose from the wire.
ScrantOn's First Run.
Ward made two-bagger in the first
Inning, went to third on Bradys hit,
and Wente's poor throw to second He
scored on w. Johnson's out from third
to first. Scranton scored three in the
third. Ward made a single, was ad-
vanced to second by Brady's base on
balls and stole third. Brady followed
by a steal to second, and both came
in on w. Johnsona d long hit to left field,
johnson reaching second during the
