Back in the championship form of
the days before the great drought Dan
willie on Saturday took a hard earned
victory from Shiokshinny at the up
river town. scoring the two winning
runs in the eighth and ninth to make
a score of to 5, 1t was a most salts
factory day for the half a hundred
Danville fans who accompanied the
team and rooted for a win during the
entire game.
Coveleskie on the mound for Dan
willie proved effective against the
Shickshinny batters. He succeeded in
keeping the hits we'll scattered except
in the sixth when they landed for
three two bnggers in succession over
their near right field fence. Harmed
also pitched a good game, but was uu-
fortunate in permitting hits to be
made when hits meant runs.
Kelly new player from Shsmokin,
was in Saturdays lineup, playing in
right field. II MS performance on Sat
urday is any criterion he will be one
OF the mainstays OF the batting order
in the future, having to his record
three bagger, "a two bsgzer and sin
gle Thomas and Hess both played
their usual fine game, both being large
ly responsible for Danville's tallying.
Mitchell, who played left field for
fyb bel Y.igr1l f1nn
of his put outs was pretty running
catch that was loudly applauded; he
also had two hits and two runs
Danville opened with Hess walking
and stealing second Umlauf sacrificed
him to third and he scored on Thorn
as hit, the latter tallying before the
end of the innings.
Shickshinng failed to score until the
third when they tied, scoring two on
two Dsuville errors and singles.
Danville was soon again in the lead.
In the fourth with Umlauf and Metz
ler on base Kelly caught the ball for
fast drive over second, which bounded
over the center fielder s head and WIS
stretched into three sacks before 1t
could be returned. both UmIaut and
Metzler scoring. In the fifth Danville
took cue more.
In the sixth and seventh Shickshin-
ny tailed two and one respectively
again tying the score at the end of the
seventh at to .,
In the eighth Coveieskie crossed the
plate for Danville giving the Browns
a lead of one and in the ninth the
matter was clinched by another tally,
In the last innings zimmerman sin
gled. At this time Shickshinny cap
tain was guilty of a most unsportsman-
like act in refusing the Danville
catcher runner when it was mem
ber Of his own team who spiked Am
norman in a previous game in this
city. Hess, next up for Dsnyille, drove
a grounder to shortstop who tried for
double play but succeeded in catch
ing only Ammerman. Hess stole Sec
ond and third, and came home or
CRWley's error OF Ahomas gTounder.
In Shickshinny's half OF the ninth
Danville worked a very pretty double
play, Payton banged one to Umlauf
who threw wide to Thomas. On the
next man up Danviles short stop re-
| deemed himself. Burns, batting for
Harmed, caught the ball fair sending
it straight as an arrow about nine feet
/ high oTer second base Umlauf, who
! happened TO be near the second sack.
/ quick as fash bounded into the air
and pulled it down, and then caught
Payton who had started to steal as
Burns hit the ball.
Sweeney umpired fairly for both
sides. There was but one argument
during the game on technicalitv.
