SulIivan'S Wild Throw Al.
lowed Two Of the Red
Roses 10 Score

LANCASTER, Aug. 16-Wilmlngton was
the easiest sort OF a proposition for the
Red Roses yesterday and they put the con-
tist away to 8.
Hoch essayed to twirl for the Peaches,
but he was easy picking In addition to
being wild the Roses found his delivery
easy and they put five runs on ice in two
innings Before the second round was con-
eluded Captain Cassidy got enough of his
work and he called Barthold to the
sratch. Tho elongated Philadelphian,
whom Lancaster had cast aside, proved
TO be a puzzle and one tally was the best
the Fostertes could do with his benders.
Burke was on the firing line for the Roses
and although hit harder he was the whole
show in a pinch. IN the fourth and sixth
innings the Peaches managed to get their
slfetos in a bunch, the result totaling
three runs. His support was gilt-edge, the
Roses one error not counting in the scor-
ng. On the other hand. sullvan's wild
heave gave the locals two runs. In the
first Newton doubled and stole third.
Hartley walked; stole second and both
scored on a wild heave by Sullivan TO left
field. In the second Oden and Raub were
passed and both stole. Downey sent them
home on a center-held smash. The latter
was sacrificed to second by Burke, took
third on a wild pitch and Tailed on Mar
