Billy Earle Tries TO swipe the Game
for scottdale Team Bnt Huling
wouldn't Let Him.
swaNDERs STEALS REFoRE Ely
When Trick Was Explained Umpire
Changed Decision But the
Visitors Leave Field.

IN the, last half Of the ninth In
ming Of the baseball contest between
scottdaIe and clarksburg at Union
Park Sunday afternoon. with one
man down. Camitz ana swanders on
bases, Hobby HOLSTER at bat, and
the game on the way TO being tied,
swanders stole second, before the
pitcher delivered the bali TO Essier,
who was subsequently caught out on
a foul Fly. Billy Earle, sitting
against the fence, saw a chance to
make false demand and took adj
vantage Of 1t, saying that Swnders
was out for running on the fly.
Huling called him out, but after the
trick was explained to him he chang
ed the decision, calling him safe, and
instructing the visitors to return to
the field. They refused to return
whereupon His Jumps declared the
game forfeited to the home team by
a score of nine to nothing. There
was some rag chewing but the decis-
ion Held and clarksburg had the
game although the Scotties had one
more run marked up to their credit.
Tie Up Expepcted.
Had the game continued 1t is likely
that Essler's men would have tied
it up in the ninth and won 1t any
way. at least the home fans thought
so.
Clarksburg started the fray by
putting two men into the calabash
after three of the visitors had gone
down in rapid succession, two of
them on great stops by Submarine
Mack. Peer fitted out to right, os-
born chopped the ozone and the cap
tain got a meal ticket. Hobby
smacked a nice one inside the left
field line that put him in the fresh
man class and then Dear Kind Nc
Ginty nailed the lid on the bali and
shipped 1t to the right field fence
for a triad permitting the Captain
and Hobby to touch the target.
Homer Over the Fence.
The visitors began their counting
in the second when Ralston met the
plaything right under the snoot and
lifted it over middle fence and every
| body gave him a glad hand,
In the fourth the scotties had a
regular free lunch, four men going
as far as the pie counter. Willy got
to adorn himself with the swaddling
clothes when McGinty fumbled an in
field push, and made the duplex pal
let when Roeper was assassinated at
frst. Miller then up and drove one
right through Peer, getting to Bag
No. /. Ralston came along with
nice smashoid to right that let Willy
ring the cash register bell on the pie
counter, and Washer got dining
room check. White fed the three
hungry ones on the stretch by send
ing the ball
] Away Up the Hill
in right field for a two-spot. Then
all the fans got hungry and some
of them in their excitement bought
''ice cream cohens," to partly satiate
their ravenous appetites. Morrison
passed away easily, singer to the
baby station and Grabb was grabbed
out on a foul fly by 'Wickenhofer.
That ended the pie eating on the
part of the visitors, much to the
satisfaction OF the bugs on the
boards.
Great Catch by Dukette.
clarksburg got desperate in the
eighth and started out to dare and
to do with vengeance. Essler was
dead-headed to the gate. Hobby got
a stinger on the nice side of right
field line and the Old Submarine
scudded one to right that was sure
for hit had not Dukette made a
wonderful uphill run and gobbled
1t up amid cheers. Ganiear put one
into left that let the Captain mark
up another one but little Fechter
famed and wickenhofer was muir
dered in the dawn by Willy.
just Before the Steal.
In the last of the last Clarksburg
had about made up Its mind to tie
the thing and then win 1t in the
tenth when the FORGETTING business
happened. Pitcher Camitz got
