HONESDALE LOSES
TO FOREST CITY
Continued from Page one.)

they landed in the anthracite metro
polls last Sunday afternoon.
Forest City IL, Honesdale A. That,
sad to relate, was the result at the
end of seven innings.
Everybody alert. On the watch
all the time!" Such was the slogan
Captain Cavanaugh sounded to his
teammates at the outset. And they
lived up to the spirit of it, admirably.
Joe Miskell was so alert"
that he only gave the County Seaters
five hits Besides that he struck out
ten men
Herbert Male got his bumps in the
second inning. The Miners made
getaway start of one run in the first
,stanza. In the second, they corralled
five more runs. They tailed another
in the third, and were circling the
bases at such a rapid rate in the
fourth, that Captain Leslie Brader
went in to stop their mad rush.
Brader held the Miners down to
three hits for the remainder of the
game. Maybe if he had gone in at
the start, the result might have been
otherwise.
Five County Seaters were hit by
pitched balls, Joe Miskill being ex-
ceptionally generous in this respect.
Richard Bracey's little boys were
blanked in the first four innings. In
the second their chances of scoring
were nipped in the bud, when Car
penter caught Dudley's fly in time to
throw the ball to Madden and retire
Polt. 1t was a corking double play.
Forest City made a killing in the
f,,, 1oI
ter's grounder. Madden bunted.
bounder, Carpenter scoring. Joe
Miskell got to first on players choice,
Madden being put out at the hCme
plate.
With two down, Jacobs fumbled
Mangan's throw of Cavanaugh's in
field grounder. w. Miskell waited
for four bad ones. Kelly cleaned
house with a single to right, scoring
Cavanaugh and Miskell. Kelly stole
second. On Mangan's costly tumble
of Wodischek's infield hit Miskell
and Kelly scored. The second canto,
certainly, was a weird exhibition of
the national game.
The County Seaters made two runs
in the fifth. With one down, Man
gan after fouling half a dozen balls,
one of which went right through the
umbrella of a spectator in left gar
den, who put up his rain protector
in the vain hope of stopping the ball,
finally slammed one into Madden,
which the latter failed to handle. He
took second on Miskells wild throw
to first. Brader was hit by pitch
ed ball. On passed ball, Nangan
and Brader advanced to third and
second bases respectively.
Madden fumbled Sandercock' S
grounder, and Mangan and Brader
waltzed home. In trying to steal
third, Sandercock was thrown out.
Jacobs was hit by Miskell, but Schil-
ling famed and ended the session.
Richard Bracey's little boys made
two more in the sixth. Miskell
fumbled Potts bounder. Dudley
walked. Bader fouled to Kelly Male
singled to left, filing the bases.
Madden fumbled Mangan's grounder,
and Polt trotted home. Brader flied
to Wodischek Sandercock singled
! to left, scoring Dudley. With the
| bases filled again, Jacobs famed.
In the fourth canto, when Brader
went in to pitch, Polt came in to
short, and Male went out to center.
In trying to catch Dudley's foul
| tip in tn seventh, Leftfielder Wodi-
schek split his finger, and gave way
to Stratford, Connolly going to CEN
| ter.
g It's going to be a red hot game
] today" said Manager Jos. Connolly
to the Citizen man. And it was.
Smarting under the sting of three
successive defeats, the Miners were
determined to win, and win they did.
| Assistant Manager Richard Bracey
had charge of the team. Accom-
panying the nine were A. W.. LARA
| bee, Starrucca, candidate for the Re
publican nomination for County
Treasurer, and Citizen reporter.
Perhaps it was from the effects of
the scrumptious chicken dinner at
McLoughlin's hotel; perhaps it was
from the change of water; perhaps
| it was because the Taylor Jinx, en-
| ragged at the County Seaters' failing
to show up at Taylor, Saturday,
came over to Forest City to hoodoo
Richard Bracey's little boys; perhaps
it was because Honesdale never could
win, when the tenth came on a
Sunday; perhaps-oh, pshaw, what
game anyhow between friends?
The frenzied footings follow:
HONESDALE.
