Eagan, Wright and the two O'Briens
made circus catches and Sugden dis
tinguished himself by all around good
work behind the bat. Hutchinson's
good eye in the first game was also a
fea ture, walking to first three times.
THE FIRST GAME.

the third inning. Brown. the first man
up, dropped a safe one behind short.

To two errors. Delehanty hit short
one to right. which Eugan reached, but
failed to hold. Delelanty collided with
Mcguire when stealing second and both
Of them laid on the ground stunned for
a few moments. They were so tangled
up that neither could move, and 1t was
lauehable to see Mas,iire trying to
reach in one direction for the ball and
Delehanty reaching out in the opposite
direction fo" the base. Before anybody
could get tn. ball Deiehanty wriggled
along far enough to touch the bag and
then lost consciousness for q short time.
His runner came in on O'BIiens hit and
tBrien scored from second on the fail
ure of Keis1er and Maguire to stop Mea-
neys throw from center.
In the fifth inning Albany would have
scored another but for Keister's sue

sold to Wilkes Barre. 1t couldn't be
helped. 1T was too bad. That's all.
