union of the tribe of Coveleskie-
brother against brother in the box and
heavy hitting Johnny on second Tor
Lancaster. And Danville certainly did
honor to the clan. About l O'Clock the
first of the crowd began to assemble at
the grounds and by half past two the
grand stand was packed, the large maj
ority of the occupants being ladies.
After that the crowd took up the space
along the first and third base lines.
About O'Clock the school children
arrived in droves and soon afterward
their teachers. the latter being round
ly applauded as they entered the
grounds.
A view of the work done by the two
pitchers does not show our own Pink
ie' as being bit behind his Lancast-
er brother. When it is considered that
the Lancaster boys are certainly surer
and harder hitters than the locals the
totals of - and IA hits give Frank a
big margin. Frank also had his broth
er beaten on strike outs, but gave four
more bases on balls. The two Lancast-
er Coveleskies showed but little con-
sideration for Frank by together tax
ing of Lancaster IL bingoes.
Aside from Coveleskie, the honors
for Danville go to Mackert and Metzl-
er for several beautiful catches in the
field. Livengood leads the locals bat
ting with two singles and a three bag
ger, Mackert being a close second with
a two bagger and home run.
Frank Coveleskie opened the game
by passing Marshall to first, but this
was soon redeemed when neat double
was performed on Marshall and Lit
schi, Coveleskie throwing to Umlauf
and Umlauf to Stock Deal laid
grounder to Coveleskie, ending the
first.
In their half of the first Danville did
the first scoring Hess hit safe to right
and went to third ON Remembers bad
throw to first, scoring ON Livengood's S
hit to right, the latter being caught
when he tried TO stretch it for two
sacks. Umlauf went down on a ground
er to third and Coveleskie popped one
to third.
Lancaster's ; second try opened with
Roach flying 10 Umlauf. John Cove
leskie reached first ON Umlauf's error
of hard try, but he stayed ON base
while Shelter struck ont and Rement-
er went out Coveleskie to Stock.
In Danville's second Mackert took
three balls and two strikes and then
lammed a dandy into left and went to
third on Dooley's sacrifice. Stock hit
to second, John Coveleskie, playing for
Mackert, overthrow letting Mackert
safe at home. zimmerman struck out
Metzler hit to left, Stock going to
third. Hess also put one into left field
scoring Stock. Hess was caught steal
ing second while Livengood was at
bat.
Lancaster opened her third by Brit
tsen taking a base ON balls. Stanny
sacrificed him down and went out.
Marshall struck ont and Litchie went
down on Livengood's assist, In the
third DanviIle failed for the first time
to connect.
Lancaster got no farther than first
base in the fourth. Danvilles 5 half of
the fourth was a hard luck story. With
bases full and none out Danville twice
tried the squeeze play with disastrous
4.
when it seemed as if things were ripe
for a rout in the ranks of the Red
Roses. Dooley opened this innings
with pass and went TO second ON a
bad throw to first. Stock got first on
fielder's choice, Dooley making third
by a close margin. Stock stole second.
zimmerman reached first on a tielder's
choice, loading the cushions. Then up
stepped Reds" Metzler and the crowd
yelled for hit, but the center fielder
had been instructed to bunt, which he
did, reaching first, Dooley being caught
at home Hess up, and again the yell
went out for hit, but the captain laid
a bunt down toward third and again |
the man was caught at home. Liven- |
good ended the agony by going the |
second to first route
In Lancaster's fifth the visitors be- |
gan their heavy work Rementer. the |
stubby catcher-comedian, drove one
over the right field fenca for a starter.
Brittsen flied out to zimmerman. Stan
nv Cov.Iaslrfs laid one over second |
