PEOPLE HAD TO WALK BACK
Two Hundred or More Ball Cranks
HoofIt Into Town Because the Cur
rent Was Of"-Game Was
Full OF Loose Fielding.

Two hundred or more of the maddest
people that ever rode on street car.
or rather who didn't ride on one, were
they, who. after yesterdays ball game
at Athletic park, were compelled to
walk to town from Carroll, a distance
of two miles or more. The street car
motor, with several trailers, left the
ball park al a quarter to O'Clock, and
everybody was congratulating himself
on getting to town by the time the 6
o'clock bell rang. But it wasn't to be-
The first thing that came up was this
After the cars had proceeded a couple of
hundred feet, it was discovered that
another car was on the track ahead of
1t, and the ball cranks would have to
wait until it got out of the way. About
1--WE minutes past 6 the car moved. In
due time Carroll was reached, and after
deal of pulling and hauling, the heav-
lily loaded trailers got safely over the
hill. Three hundred yards west of Car
roll the car that was ahead and the
car that was behind stopped stock STILL
The announcement was made that the
current was off," The employees of the
company informed the passengers that
the cars would move in oh about 5
or 10 minutes" At half past nearly
everybody on the car got tired of wait
ing and decided to walk, which they
did with a deal of profanity and in
dignation.
The conductor, however, very care
fully and very scrupulously collected
the fares before the car left Carroll.
But that hasn't got anything to do
with the ball game 1t was the game
that decided the tie between the upper
works and the lower works team
each club having won one game. The
upper works boys were victorious by
score of Is to IL. The game was full of
errors and loose fielding. Many of the
hits on both sides should not have been
hits at all, but the players didn't seem
TO care to accept chances and allowed
the ball to drop in front of their noses
rather than make a try for it. In the
1nileld there was a great deal of boot
ing and fumbling, and the absence of
singer and active, sharp work robbed
the game of what interest il might
have had otherwise.
Long and Shelley were in the box for
the lower works, but both had sore
arms. Longs arm was in very bad
shape, and 1t was with the greatest diff
hculty that he could get one over the
plate at all Skelley's arm was not
much better. Lynch pitched for the up
per works, and how he did pitch. Ex-
cellent is but a poor name for it. Be-
sides his fine work as pitcher, he was
the. star at the bat and also in the field.
He played the game for all it was
worth. He has to his credit home
run, three dagger and a single Doc
Emerson's second base playing was
also feature of the game Emerson
accepted everything that came within
mile of him, and he generally got it,
too. Both the catchers put up a strong
game behind the bat. For the rest the
playing was of a very ordinary kind
nj
The game did not begin till nearly 4
O'Clock, the delay being caused by the
absence of Lynch. the pitcher for the
Upper Works. About the hour men
toned however, the crowd became so
clamorous that it was agreed to nut
lnman in the box until Lynch should
come The first man up for the Lower
works was sutton, who hit to Emerson
and he was out. McIIale struck out and
Kilcoyne hit to Emerson, and he also
was out. For the Upper Works. Storey
started off with little one to Skelley
who threw him out. Toomey was hit
by the pitcher. Emerson hit to Shelley.
and at the same time Toomey tried to-
take third, but was caught at It and
he was out Emerson. however, went
to second on the play. Norbeck hit one
for a single. The ball was fielded co
slowly that Emerson came home on il.
Norbeck scored on an easy one to SUIT
ton by Tucker. Sutton booted it and
Tucker was safe. He wendell his way
around to third. but MaIoney struck
out, and his effort was in vain.
Lynch showed up at the beginning of
the second and was greeted with ap-
plause from the grand stand. He started
in by striking Long out. Murphy hit
safe to right field. Railey hit long fly
to Norbeck. who had it all gathered in,
but the holding of it was too much for
him and the ball rolled merrily away,

famed and Shelley hit directly in front
of the plate. He could easily have been
thrown out, but Storey waited to see
whether 1t was a foul or fair ball and
Shelley was safe. Dwyer hit directly to
Lynch, who threw him out Martin
being the first man up for the Lower
Works, famed out. Inman hit long
fly to right field which Murphy failed
to nab, allowing it to go through his
hands. The error sent 1nman to third.
Foley hit to McHale, who fumbled it,
permitting Inman to score Storey hit
safe to center, but the ball was fielded
so slowly that Foley scored on the
throw in. Lynch cracked one out to
center Tor two bases, on which Storey
scored. More slow fielding allowed
Lynch to go to third Emerson hit one
that should have been good for only one
base, but he stretched it out Cor two
on the throw in. Norbeck flew out to

base line hot one and made two bases
on 1t. He stole third and came home
on Maioney's hit to left. Maloney met
his death trying to purloin second
The third inning was short one. SUIT

as did also McHale. Kilcoyne hit a

Long ended the inning by flying out to

for the Uppers. He fouled out Inman
