boys. The first game was an easy
for the Blue Birds, who out
stayed their opponents both at bat
and IN the field. Both pitchers were
batted rather hard, but Sperlin of the
visitors received a great deal the worst
of it. There were three home runs
in the game, Hallman, Goodhart and
Splain each having one to their credit.
Score by innings follows:

Bloomsburg 3 3 o 4 o-Is 10

Sperlin and Ritter. Umpire, Kelley.
Lock Haven evened up matters on
Friday. Rhoades was sent in to do
the twirhng for the home team, and
for two innings he succeeded in hold
ing his own pretty well, but he couldn't
hold out and after the fifth inning he
was batted at will, and it wasn't
question as to who would win, but |
how many runs the visitors would get.
This was another game in which lack
of management was displayed on the
part of Bloomsburg, for had some one
been put in the box in the middle of
the game, we might have had another
to our credit. Another reason why
we didn't get more runs was because
our sluggers failed to slug. Score:

The home team played two games
v with Shamokin on Tuesday afternoon.
u The first was too one sided to be
; interesting. In the second however,
i it was different. Staples late of Will
n Transport did the twirling for the
l. visitors and had he pitched as good
N ball in the last two innings as he die
m in the first seven, the story would
Il have been quite different. As it was
q he went up in the air and the Blue
O- Birds scored s runs. Score:
