Syracuse won from Scranton yester-
day Its second consecutive game in
the series Of four games. The total
score, while showing a wide majority
or four runs for the visitors, does not
reveal the true particulars Of the two
pitching departments.
Delaney. the recent Scranton cast-off,
twirled a better game than did Meaney,
but three Of Scranton's five errors were
made during the run-getting in the
third and fifth innings, and made pos
sible three Of the five runs secured by
the enemy. With Scranton's errors in
those two innings stricken out, Syra-
cuse would have won, but it would have
been by the score of to /. If Huston
had sacrificed In the second inping, the
score would have been at least a tie.
Ifs" are not included in the base ball
dictionary. but the word was the only
consolation left for the cranks in play
ing over again a game already ended.
Meaney Little Wild.
Delaney was hit seven times for
eight bases, and gave only one walk.
but Meaney, who was hit nine times
for ten bases and struck one out, gave
three gifts Of first, made two wild
pitches and hit batsman. Itisa peculiar
fact that only in the fifth inning was
-Meaney hit consecutively, and that
only four single hits were made OF him
i'm the other innings, two In the first,
one In the third and one In the eighth.
The heart Of the bleacher sank in the
first inning but was revived again by
another, Of Smiths phenomenal throws.
With one out and Welch on third Simon
hit a long one to center and the indi-
cations were that Welch would have
time and room to spare before the ball
could be returned. Smith hustled the
ball In 80 that it was cleanly caught by
Rogers, and Welch was touched out.
II was a better throw, even, than
Smiths feat Of Tuesday. when he threw
from right field and stopped Sweeney at
third.
Pete Eagan made q miraculous run
udnxg catch Of Minahan's fly to left CEN
ter which prevented two additional
runs in the third.
One Opportunity to Score.
Scranton was first at bat and In the
second BaInr,on singled and stole Sec
ond. Steams drew four bad ones. but
Huston, instead of sacrificing. forced
Stearns ait second and was himself put
out at first in the tail-end OF the double
play, Bannon reaching third. where he
died, Mearey being thrown out at first.
For Syracuse, Moss singled in the
third end Rafter reached first on Mea-
ney's poor throw of an easy chance.
Moss going to second and each being
advanced by De'aneys sacrifice.
WEIGH reached first and Moss scored on
q "fietder's CHOICE hit Ito Bannon. who
could not recover from the stop and
get the ball to the plate in trme to
block the run. Rafter scored on Pow
er's force of WEIGH at second. A base
on balls to Simon was followed by p.
Dagan's splendid running catch. which
retired the side.
The three Syracuse runs in the fifth
we're made on four singles, double
and q sacrifice and were helped along
by errors by Rogers and Luby.
Scored the Solitary Run.
Scrantons one rum was made by
Stearns on his single, his safe run to
second following HuYtm's out on a
foul fly to Rafter and Meaney's single,
which chose a fortunate course along
the right foul line.
Score:
