Sir: VIII you please allow me space to
correct the score of the Lackawanna and
Crescent base ball game in this morn
ings issue of your paper. AT no time
were the Crescents dangerous. II TOOK
US three hours to play five innings. Ev-
cry decision of the umpire was questioned
by the whole Crescent team and about
fifty outsiders. 1t was ten minutes past
seven o'clock when the Lackawannas
thought 1t was time to quit. Captain
Burke questioned the umpire's decision
when he called a man safe who ran SIX
feet out of line to avoid the second base
man touching him. The feature OF the
game was Gaughans home run in the
first inning with three men on bases. The
correct score is as follows: RH.E.
Lackawannas ..........7 l 4-l3 .
Crescents ..............I z 81

over 1,500 persons, more than half OF
whom were ladies, witnessed an exciting
and very interesting extra inning game
of ball at Sheldrake on Cayuga lake,
between Cayuga Lake House team and
Sheldrake base ball club, which was won
by the former by score of to 5. This
was the first game Sheldrake has lost
this season, and the first won by the Cay
uga team from Sheldrake in five seasons
A. Furling came from New York express
ly to pitch for Cayuga, but was hurt in
practice, so he could not play, and Pro-
prietor Phinny volunteered his services,
and although quite wild in the first few
innings soon settled down and it became
evident to all that he had not lost any
of his speed, curves or cunning that made
him famous ten years ago as the crack
pitcher for the Cheseas, of Prospect
Pond Brooklyn. Not a hit was made of
him after the third inning. His pitching
and fielding, batting and base running OF
Donnelly for Cayuga and the battery
work of Goundry and Conde and coach
ing of Casey for Sheldrake were the fea-
lures of the game. Umpire Ike Long, OF
Wilkes-Barre. gave good satisfaction.
The scorer was Miles Ferling, of New
York. The Cayuga Lake House team
would like TO hear from all strong teams
in this section. Address John j. Donnel-
