BASE BALL.

The Bloomsburgs met defeat at
Lock Haven on Thursday last in a
ten inning game. The contest up to
the tenth inning was very close and
exciting, but just at that point the
boys kept up their reputation for
losing extra inning games, and made
two bad errors, the opponents then
secured three hits which netted them
four runs. The score at the end of
the tenth inning was Lock Haven IL,
Bloomsburg 8. McNealy pitched for
our boys.
Demorests defeated us on Friday,
for the first time in six games, and
the reason OF our downfall was be-
cause Michael Dunn, who has been
pitching good ball Of late was simply
peaches and cream, for his opponents.
He was either tired out or weary, at
any rate, he was sent to the stable be-
fore the game was over. Hallman
took his place. Score.

Our club closed the first series at
Milton, on Saturday, and lost by
score Ci 8 to 4. 1t isn't necessary for
us to go into details and give the cause
of our defeat. The story can easily
be told. We were outplayed. and
tnat is the whole sum and substance
OF it. AS usual, for seven innings we
were right in the game and held our
own fairly well, but just at the critical
time we lost sight of the ball, and
while our boys were busy collecting
their thoughts Milton spurted around
the bases and took the game. Score,
Milton 8, Bloomsbury 4.
The second series of the Central
; League opened at Athletic Park on
Tuesday, with the strong Milton ag-
gregation as our opponents. The
game was one of those heart breaking,
: hair raising kind, when sitting still is
; next to impossible. Up to the eighth
inning the score stood 4 to in favor
of the Miltonlans and their Mr.. Walk
er up to that time that had been
pitching unfathomable ball. But his
. noodle got ratified, or his arm wen
back on him or something and he go,
himself in such hole that even the
{ home rooters pitied him. Before the
j. fun was over and the smoke had clear
u ed away eight Blue Birds flew across
I, the rubber, and the thought OF the
u eight runs caused Walker to sit dowr
in the pitchers box disgusted with hi
own work. 1t took some talking t(
set him to finish the inning. Whil
, all this was going on Mr.. Everson,
recent arrival in town was pitching
good ball, and our victory was largel
il due to his steadiness in the box
