BETHLEHEM is VANQuSHED
Coal DiggerS Too Much For the Sturdy
Iron Workers.
WAS A HARD, STUBBORN BATTLE,
Although the Home Team Showed Super
iority over the Visitors at Many Points,
Notwithstanding the Size and Weight
in the Latter's Favor.


Sixteen sturdy iron workers from Bethle-
hem came to town yesterday to show Man
ager Fahey's foot ball team by what right
they claimed the foot ball championship of
Eastern Pennsylvania and about six hundred
people gathered at the Trotting park to see
them do it. Every man on the visiting team
was tall enough, and appeared heavy and
strong enough to handle two men of the
home team, and that the latter won the
game is no more Of a surprise to the Bethle-
hens than it was to the home people.
The game opened with Shortall kicking
the ball to the 25-yard line of the visitors
and Capt. Gray got the BALL but was dowued
on Bethlehem's 3o-yard line. Davis then
made a gain of 10 yards around Shenandoah's
right which was followed by another slight
gain, after which the visitors caught the
home team mapping and by a neat trick scored
the first touchdown after play of minutes.
On the line up Bethlehcm's quarterback
passed the ball to the left half back In the
manoevure the latter purposely fumbled the
ball, unobserved by the Shcnandoahs, who
struggled with him, while King picked up
the ball and ran around the right end The
trick was not discovered until King had big
lead and he scored the touchdown after run
of 60 yards. Hart kicked the goal and made
the score to 0 in favor of Bethlehem.
Shenandoah got the ball ON the kick Off and
the team pushed their heavy antagonists about
at will. Shortall went 10 yards through the
/ cputrp with pvraIlnut og-icf,,na Inv / avail,
Gains of and II yards through the same
place were quickly added and Fahey made
run Of Is yards around the right 1t was a
story of steady gains for Shenandoah until
the expiration of l3 minutes, when Shortall
made the touchdown and kicked the goal,
leaving the score to s.
Bethlehem got the ball on the kick Off
through tumble by Wertz. At this point
Shortall was so badly choked by Casey that
he was unconscious for almost two minutes.
This made the Shenandoahs fight
with more determination than ever.
Gains of yards by Fahey and by X. Rose
was followed by a 25 yard run around Beth
lehem's left by r. Rose, another gain of
yards by Fahey, and gains in rapid success
Shortall and Frost figured until Fahey made
a run of 30 yards around Bethlehem's left.
He was downed just outside the goal and
fumbled the ball, but McHale dropped upon
it and scored the touchdown in 6l minutes.
Shortall failed to kick the goal and left the
score 10 to in favor of Shenandoah.
On the kick off r. Rose got the ball and
made 10 yards During the struggle here
McHale had his lower lip badly split He
was succeeded by Davis. Capt. Gray was
knocked out at the same time, but recovered
and played. Fahey got 30 yards around
the right, but after this the fight was so stub
born that Bethlehem got the ball on 4 downs
and no gains. Slight gains for Bethlehem
were backed up to a 10 yard gain for Hickey,
but on a tumble Fahey got the ball for Shen-
audoah Just as time for the first half was
called.
After an intermission of > minutes the
teams lined up again for the second half,
which Nyas to last 25 minutes A Rose
