DUNM0RE TRIMS
HONESDALE 4-3
Two Hits and an Error
ReyerSeS Score in
the Ninth
EACH TEAM HAD A SURPRISE;
WHIRLWIND FINISH TO A
GOOD GAME.

In a garrison finish Dunmore de-
feated the Honesdale baseball team
on the silk mill grounds here last
Saturday afternoon when combina-
ton of two hits, along with Sander
cocks fatal error, gave them two
runs in the ninth inning, enough to
win by a run.
Up to the ninth inning it was a
pitchers battle, Hessling getting, If
anything, a little the better of the
argument. In that fatal session,
however, the Dunmoreites succeeded
in reversing the score from 2-3 to
4-3, and clinched the game.
In the dodgers advertising the
game, a surprise was promised the
locals. The surprise was all right
one Chester Ross by name-a cousin
of Manager Leon Ross, who played a
good game at first, accepting ten
chances without an error, and hitting
Knox the first time up for two bags.
But Dunmore had a surprise in store
for Leon Ross little boys, and his
name was Pitcher Knox. Outside of
the first inning, when the Maple City
boys secured two hits off his deliv-
cry, he was as firm as Stonewall
Jackson, being especially steady with
men on bases.
The game was late in starting, ow-
ing to the fact that the 8: Is p. m. d.
& H. train was delayed by the heavy
Lake Lodore passenger traffic, and
the game did not open until twenty
minutes after four o'clock.
In the first inning Hawley walked.
Dooley was an easy out to Hessling,
Hawley advancing. Lotus famed
On wild throw to third to catch
Hawley, that gentleman scored. T.
Duffy was an easy out.
In their half of the first, Homes
dale went right out in front after a
very wabbly opening session by
" Shorty" Knox. Brader drew a
walk after Mangan had gone out
Ross made his debut by slamming
the ball into left for two bases.
Sandercock repeated the trick with
q double to deep centre, scoring
Brader, Schilling got to first on
Knox's tumble. Polt reached first
on T. Duffy's tumble, Sandercock
scoring. Polt stole second, and went
to third on a wild throw. Jacobs
drew a pass to first. Polt was an
easy out in attempting to score.
In the second inning, only one
Dunmoreite, F. Duffy, by name,
reached first on tumble by third
baseman Mangan. For Honesdale,
Dudley singled to left, stole second,
and died there.
1t was one, two, three in the third
inning, on both sides, and ditto in
the fourth.
In the fifth, for Honesdale, with
two out, Brader singled to centre,
but died there, the next man tanning
out. 1t was one, two, three, in the
sixth inning for both sides, and also
for Dunmore in the seventh. Hess
ling got to first on grounder
fumbled by the second baseman.
Mangan flied to centre, and the
chances for scoring ended.
F. Duffy opened the eighth with a
single to left, after Cooligan ground
ed to second. Moran was out on an
easy grounder to short. With two
out, Knox and Hawley singled to
centre, F. Duffy scoring. Honesdale
was blanked in the eighth.
The ninth inning opened with the
score to 2 in favor of the home
team. Lotus started with single
after Dooley grounded to Hessling.
T. Duffy hit long drive to right, ad-
vancing Lotus. Then Sandercock
dropped a pitched ball, and before he
could recover it, the game was lost,
T. Duffy and Lotus both scoring.
Mcdonald and Colligan famed.
Honesdale threatened to tie the
score in the ninth, when w. Polt
reached first on T. Daffy's tumble
and took second when Jacobs was hit
by pitcher. Dudley famed, and
Hessling obliged with a fly to Nc
Donald ending the game.
