TUBE WORKS Wins
SECOND GAME

ed. Try as they would the stricken,
struggling Stovers could not overcome
the lead the pipemen secured in the
sixth and thusly stands the score, ID
10.
Talk about Susquehanns league
game-it isn't in it. Never was there
such crowd, enthusiasm ran wild:
everybody yelled something all the
time somewhere and the draft was too
great, the stovers fires went out.
About six hundred friends of the
players watched the game. The man
agement is some hundred dimes shy
but what's the odds.
AT the last minute Stove Works rang
in professional pitcher. Haring, of
Washington, D. Q. Washington stands
at the tail end, however, and anyway
it would have made little difference
Saturday il they had gone to Detroit
for material. In all the comba the
Tubers have engaged in, never did they
play as they did on Saturday. 1t has
been heard from good authority that
if they had lost they would have pro-
tested the game.
Those Stovemen complain that in
practice, their opponents bad several
more minutes than they-hence the re-
suit. Anyway it was great game.
Baker and Jones putting all fears aside
bravely essayed to do the umpiring,
and they did it satisfactory, be gosh !
Owens and Price were in the points
for the Tube Works Haring and
Burns tossed the ball to and fro for
the Stovers. Hariug who halls from
the treasury department at Washing
ton, threw crooked ball that got so
on the nerves of those Tubers that
sometimes they couldn't hit it. Each
side got two in the first. In the sec
ond Stove Works got two more, the
Tubers succeeding In pushing through
but one. In the third neither side
scored. Tube Works got two in the
fourth and one in the fifth, their op-
ponents failing to score. In the sixth
things happened. Jones, for the Tube
Works, stepped into the game and
promptly clouted out a riproarer to
right field. This started a batting
rally and six Tubemen turned tallies
in less than no time.
Stove Works got one in their half
two in the seventh and the final three
in the eighth.
The Tubers, worn out by their base
running in the sixth, failed to score
until the ninth, when two runs gave
them total of fourteen and the game
was theirs by four points.
! The real feature of the game wal
the errors They were evenly divided
as far as could be learned. The score
/ had but one small pencil aud in orde
! TO make it last through the game hi
( cut out the marking of errors afte
the first inning.
| Some more features were the hand
/ ling of the stick by Jones for Tubt
Works and the short stop playing o.
Murphy for Stove Works. Archie Hum
mer, the Tubers' center fielder, made
a thrilling catch in the fifth Will,
| Snyder on second for the Stove Work
made regular Hess stop In the seven
| tn. Last but not least we mention
Houghendoubler, or something liku
that. His speciality is stealing bases
! The way he circled the bases remind
ed one of well oiled aeroplane, act
ing badly, He sometimes got within
ten feet of second only to be nailed
He is positive that the second bag il
farther from first than first il from
second and is prepared to prove 1t
There were number OF other brilli
ant plays but why mention them.
This is the second game the Tuber
have won out of two The Stovemer
ask for third trial A prominent
| Tuber is said to have remarked thai
the Stovemen are outclassed, but it 1,
believed.that the rivals will get togetn
er soon in the third and final game.
In the two games played the gate
receipts amounted TO sixty seven dol
lars, which the contesting teams have
turned over to the Danville Athletic
association.
