? Providence, met her second defeat yes
terdsy afternoon at the hands OF the Coal
Barons. Lucky, who pitched for Wilkes
barre proved to be very effective through
out the game with the exception OF the
third inning, In which he was touched
up for six runs, two of them being
earned. These were the first runs scored
and the general impression was that the
Grays would pull out OF the series with
the odd game to their credit. But in the
next inning timely stick work on the
part Of the Bsrons netted them three runs
and then In the seventh, eighth and
ninth innings they scored six, three and
two runs respectively willis the Grays
were unable to do better than score goose
eggs. Knorr, who occupied the box for
Providence, was an easy mark for the
home team and was hammered over the
field in a most heart-rendinp manner
despite the excellent fielding support OF
the team. The feature of tho game was
the playing of the Wilkesbarre's new
second base man Bonner and Belts catch
OF long drive to deep center.
