STANDING OF THE CLUBS

ing the two opening games. But Sat
urday's drop had mono of the mon
strous features of Fridays avalanche.
| The score of to 2 in favor of Shick-
shinny would show that it was game
we'll worth seeing no matter which
team won.
The game furnished plenty of fodder
for the fans. 1t was doped out Satur-
day night that there was no less than
fourteen points during the game where
Danville could have won by doing
just little different than they did
Certain it was that fortune showered
her attentions upon Shickshinng dur
ing the whole nine innings and smiled
in Danville's direction very infrequ-
emily.
Danville had the game won almost
as many times as there were innings
Men on first, second and third seemed
easy to accomplish, but to shove one
brown clad runner across the pan, ex-
cept in the one innings, was beyond
the prowess of the cunning of the local
tossers.
Can you imagine three hits and
wild pitch in one innings without a
score-well that was Danville's sixth.
That was the most striking bit, but
other innings furnished blows almost
as disquieting. III the second Wagner,
after hit and a sacrifice by Brennan,
I ;r1
Mackert rested on the cushions while
Kelly sent pop fly for the third out.
In the third Umlauf, after he had been
passed and advanced on Livengood's
hit, was caught at the plate on Nip
pies tielder's choice. In the fourth,
| with one down, passes were issued to
Brannen and Veith, who, advancing
to second and third on Mackert's out,
were left there when Kelly flied out
to Cawley.
The fifth saw Danville 90 down one
two three for the second time in the
game, and the sixth has been mention
ed before.
The seventh was prolific of Dan
ville's brace of tallies. With one down
Kelly got on with four wide ones and
after Ainsworth had flied out, I'm
lauf picked one that just suited him
from Quinlan's delivery and sent the
ball aeroplaning over the fence. The
seventh, after a hit by Wanger, ended
with double play on Brennan's roll
er to Evans.
In the ninth, with Shiny one point
+ to the good, Danville made a heroic
effort to score. Neith, first up landed
/ for his first hit, Texas Lacquer into
/ left. Mackert hunted, but Joe was
slow in getting down, and was caught
at second by Quinlan's throw. Mack
ert then spectacularly stole second and
third, while Kelly was flying out and
Dooley, batting for Ainsworth, was
getting base on balls. With Umlauf
up, and two strikes called, Mackert
tried to steal home and was called out
at the plate.
Shickshinny had extra men at bat in
but three innings. In the second and
third, singles from the bats of CawIey
and McCabe went for naught when the
runners were nailed by Kelly's whip
as they tried to purloin second. After
that, by the Wayne more stealing was
attempted on the Danville catcher
In the third Skinny took advantage
of Danville's only bad session to score
two runs With Williams gone by the
strike out route, Evans showed Texas
Lacquer into centre field, and advanc-
ed to third on Gouldner's two Dagger
into center. Quinlan then drove a
roller to Buck, which the short stop
errored on bad bounce. He threw
home to catch Evans, but the later
bowling Kelly over, tailed, while the
ball went on through to the grand
stand. Gouldner was hitting the third
base line for home by this time, but
was caught by Kelly and Ainsworth.
While this throw around was in pro-
gress Quinlan had been silently beat
ing it around the bases and was now
nearing third. a throw was made to
catch him which went wide and he,
too, safely crossed the pan. That
emptied the course and although two
more hits were made third out was
accomplished with out further Skinny
tallies.
Shickshinny's wining run was made
in the last session when with two
down, Cawley got the ball through
Wagner to the center field fence; a
poor relay let the runner to third, and
he scored on Harned's hit over the
third bag.
The port slider Quinlan, who defeat
ed Danville Saturday is the same
twirler who allowed the locals but
five hits in the ten innings game that
