In the third Shelter singled and was
forced at second by Knox. who scored
on McIntyre's double to center field.
In the sixth Pirate" O'Brien's single,
Tofts sacrifice and Milligan's life put
two men on base. Kervin stepped to
the bat and after due deliberation Sc
lected one of the Herr Baron Schmidt's
curves and dropped it into deep left
neld FOR three bases, bringing in two
runs. Scranton's last run was scored
in the seventh. Pirate" O'Brien went
to first base on Kelly the Edwardsville
amateur who has supplanted Colliflow-
er at first base, juggling his
grounder, and Catcher Toft next ap-
peared at the plate. The thin young
backstop has not the reputation of
being a particularly vicious uatsman.
but he banged the sphere into left field
for three bags in a way which would
do credit to a Lajoie or Delehanty and
O'Brien crossed the plate with Scran-
tons last run.
Wilkes-Bar opened UP on Milligan
in the fourth, when Clymer and Nyce
each singled, advanced base on
Burns grounding out to Mcintyre.
and scored on Messitt hitting between
first and second. In the sixth Cymer
and Nyce singled and Clymer scored
on Messitts safe drive. Kelly then
banged the ball to Doherty. who, pick
ing it up, touched Nyce as he came
from second and then sent it to
Pirate" O'Brien in time to catch Mes
slit and complete a double play.
In the eighth after two men were out
Nyce's single. Burns two-bagger and
singles by Messitt and Kelly brought
in two more runs. In the ninth in
ming Nicol began the proceedings by
going out. pitcher to first. The hard
hitting Ketchem contributed his third
hit. Scott Stratton struck out and
Clymer singled. Nyce made his fourth
hit of the game and the bases were
full. 1t was all up to Burns but he
sent high foul in the air on which
Doherty made a fine catch and the
game was over. The detailed score

COAL BARONS DEFEATED.
Scranton Players Down Clymer's
Men by Score of 7 to 5-Locals
Won by Bunching Hits.

Manager Burnham and his nine of
pail players yesterday re-appeared be-
lofe scranton spectators after their
trip, coming home covered with honor
and with numerous laures adorning
their heads.
Mercy Derby Day" Clymer and his
band Of Wilkes-Ba noblemen were
the antagonists,and proved foemen wor-
thy indeed of our steel. They were
defeated vanqushed by score of :
to ., but they made just twice as many
hits as Scranton did, but were un-
fortunate in punching them.
Baron Schmidt offciated in the
Wilkes Barre box and was very ably
caught by another nobleman named
Messitt Baron Schmidt pitched a
fairly good game, the Scranton slug
gers being unable to assaiI him with
anything like the ferocity with which
they have punished the curves of the
other league pitchers they have faced
up to date.
Young Milligan, Scrantons new
southpaw pitcher, twirled for the To-
calls. The weather, which was exceed
ingly cold, troubled him considerably
but he pitched a better game than the
score would show, as he kept the hits
pretty well scattered, was very steady
and struck out six men. kervin, Man
ager Burnham's other southpaw pitch
er played left field in the absence of
Ferguson, who was indisposed and
played a rafting good game. Only one
ball was hit into his territory and that
was tremendous drive in the sixth
inning from Burns bat, on which
he made a beautiful catch. At the bat
he was also a few, his terrific three
baser in the sixth sending in two runs
on the Wilkes-B Barre Side Baron Ket-
chem distinguished himself by some
fine catches and by good stick work,
while Charlie Nyce, the third baseman,
contributed four very solid singles to
his sides hit column.
One feature of the game which must
not be omitted was the work of Mr..
Harkins, who handled the indicator.
So frightened was he by the glares
and scowls of Baron Messitt and the
above mentioned Baron Mercy Derby
Day" Clymer that his judgment on
strikes and balls was invariably off and
nearly every case poor Mr., Milligan
had the worst OF 1t. one atrocious bull
of his was the calling of a strike on
"Old Boy" Shelter when that vener-
able gentleman swung at the ball and
raised foul whose click could be
heard in the grand stand
Clymer certainly left no opportuni-
ties pass for bully-ragging the UNI
pire and was given the merry ha ha
on several occasions by the fair-sized
crowd which had turned out in spite
of the dlsagreeable weather
Wilkes Barre was blanked in the
first inning and Scranton then made a
lucky opening by scoring three runs
on base on balls to j. j, O'Brien, a
single by Shelter Nicols mum of
Knox's fly and a wild pitch by Schmidt.
