Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1910-06-02

previous occurrences on this circuit far
and faded. Three to two, says the tab
ulation, the winning run scored in the
tenth.
About 40 Danville fans accompanied
the team to Shickshinny and joined
the crowd of 500 that watched the
game draw out its ten rousing innings.
The game did not start until 30 and
the sun had set behind the nearby
western hills before the two hours and
fifteen minutes of play had been COM
pleted.
In Danville big crowds gathered on
Mill street to get the returns of the
game, and grew more and more excit-
ed and impatient as the usual time for
getting the scores passed. The Morn
ing News was in constant communica-
tion with Shickshinny and had the
score posted on its bulletin board a
few seconds after the last man was
out. Within ten minutes after the end
of the game brief, covering the inn
PNNs'hN PcAhOo VA php COuItSb, WAS IlOSI-
ed. The news was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, and crowds sur.
rounded the board all evening, eagerly
reading the account of the game.
Those from Danville who saw the
game were unanimous in stating that
it was the greatest game of base ball
they ever saw. The excitement started
in the first innings with Shickshinny's
tally and increased until Umlauf's
lightning double play in the tenth
smothered Skinny s hopes of winning.
Braunen and Quinlan were the CON
( tending slab artists and while the Dan
vile curves were whaled harder than
the left handed shoots of Shickshinny,
Brannen was the winner. The Noun.
taineers nine hits were spread out
and but four of them were coincident
with scores. The Browns selected op-
perfume moments for their five safe
swats. In addition Quinlan issued
seven passes, one of which was con-
verted into run.
Livengood was the bright and shin
ing star of the entire galaxy at the bat.
He rung up three of Danville's five
hits, and crossed the plate after two of
his singles. Hagy landed on the Shick-
shinny south paw for three bagger,
the longest hit of the game, and was
responsible for the score in the eighth.
Danville's only other hit went to Bran
men. Aside from these three Quinlan
had the jinks on the Danville heavy
hitters. His eleven strike outs were
performed mostly on Danville's surest
hitters.
Umlauf again made big racket in
the field. His double play in the tenth
was the most worth while play of the
game; several times he took IA quick
throw from Brannen and caught men
asleep at second, and his assists were
accomplished with neat dispatch. But
at the bat-well Buck is honest-he
frankly acknowledged that Quinlan
had his nanny
Shickshinny started in to make good
her threat to trim Danville in Satur-
days game by drawing first blood in
the opening session. With Willig out
| Williams landed for two bases, adv
ed to third ON Evans out and scored
on Quinlan' hit, before Goldner drop
ped one into Wagner's basket.
For six long innings Danville could
not score. For the first five sessions
that the local batters faced Quinlan
he retired them hitless. In the sixth
Livengood opened with a hit and was
sacrificed to second by Nipple, but
hopes died when he remained there
while Wagner flied out to center and
Hagy struck out.
In the seventh things broke better.
Quinlan dispatched pass to Veith,
and the latter, moment later, caught
mapping off first, started for second
when the pitcher threw. fox chase
ensued which ended in Quinlan tag
ging Veith but dropping the ball as he
did so, Veith getting to second. Cook
fouled out to the catcher and Dooley
popped an out to the pitcher box
Brannen's timely hit to right follow
Cd scoring Voit.. CHllauf hied out 10
left field. This tied the score at to /.
In the eighth Danville got away
with another one. Livengood opened
with single-a grounder by first
base. Again two men fell to the bland
ishing curves of the shifty Quinlan
before Hagy raped the leather way
down in the right field corner for three
bases, scoring Livengood. Veith then
got a base on four called balls. With
Cook at bat Catcher Davis missed a
wide one and in going after the ball
threw his glove in the run by the
plate; Hagy made a dash for home and
in attempting to slide fell over the
glove and was caught by Quinlan.
That innings put Danville one to the
good.
In the ninth Shickshinny gave
