the President delights to attend a
game. l take great pleasure in
opening the base ball season in Tay-
lOr. Now boys, play ball"
The Mayor pitched the first ball
clean over the plate, and the game
was on in earnest.
In the first half of the first inning
it looked as though Honesdale would
walk away with the game. Mangan,
the first man up, got a base hit.
Polt followed with a two-bagger,
Mangan scoring the first run. San
dercock was out on an easy fly to the
pitcher. Halter struck out. Bader
made a base hit, scoring Polt. Dud-
ley struck out. And the score was
! 20 in favor of Honesdale.
When Taylor came to bat in their
half of the first inning, they speed
lily turned the tables. That fatal
first inning lost the game for the
Maple City boys. No less than elev-
en- of the Athletics faced Holstein,
whose generosity in handing out
four passes to first contributed to
the score of the Taylorites. The
miners also touched him up for
three hits in that fatal first" Evans
their centre fielder making a home
run. And my how the band played
Marching Through Georgia" when
he did it!
Holstein after that fatal first"
settled down, and for three innings
no Taylor man crossed the plate.
Honesdale made a run in the Sec
ond, and two in the third, tieing the
score. No runs were scored in the
fourth inning. In the fifth each
side scored, and with the figures
reading 6-6, the excitement became
intense. Again in the sixth one
run was made to each side, and with
the score TT the chances for Homes,
dale looked good yet.
The seventh inning decided the
, game, however. Not a Honesdalt
boy reached home, while the miners
/ tailed three runs. Score 1917. Hol
stein was taken out of the box anC
Male put in. To their credit be i
said however, that the boys from
Wayne never lost hope, but managed
to get in a run in the eighth inning
, which ended the scoring for the day
, Final score, 10 to s.
, The defeat of the Honesdale team
was due largely to one Pitcher Pot
ter, who didn't give a single pass tt
first, and who incidentally struck ou
eleven men, and fielded an errorles
{ game.
Errors were plentiful on boil
, sides, and the game could hardl.
be called a brilliant one. Wilson
? umpired the game, and his decision
were fair. In fact it may be SAT-
{ that he favored the visiting team il
some of the close decisions.

as a sign that tney had paid to see

OF seasoned veterans, some of whom
had been tried out by the Scranton
State League team this Spring, not
ably, Shortstop Masters, Pitcher Pot
ter Left fielder Strunk is a fast
player in the Archibald County
league. Considering the fact that
only two of the members of the
home team were seasoned players,
our boys did splendidly. Captain
Leslie Brader directed the game
from the bench, but his injured
thumb prevented him from playing.
1t was Holstein's first game and to
his credit, be it said, he pulled him
self out of a number of tight holes.
! Southpaw Male did well in the few
innings he faced the Taylor batters.
1t was all owing to that awful
'incurve" of Pitcher Potter that we
didn't win the game anyhow.
Pitcher Potter is strike-out
twirler, and didn't give even a sin
gle pass to first.
Well, we lost. But we made a
good showing anyhow. And we'll
win the next game.

In the opinion of the writer the

ST. LOUIS "RAJAHS'
CARDINALS IN GAME
st. Louis Americans Have
Still to Be Counted Out of
the Running

New York, July 22.-"These be par
lous days in baseball," but within
the next two weeks the situation
ought to tighten considerably. Now,
at the outset of the second western in
vasion Of the east, the question as
to which teams are to stick and which
are to collapse ought soon to be an
swered. 1t seems odd and quite en-
thusing to be able to say that of the
two western factors in the situation,
one is the team representing St.
Louis. but the eastern fans, slow as
ever to acknowledge that anything
good can come out Of the west. de-
spite the fact that about everything
good New York ever sees or hears
about comes from that section, are
being forced to realize that Bresna-
han and his warriors have not been
fighting on streak of luck, Just
grabbing whatever happened to lay
before them, but that they have been
making hard and systematic fight
with the supposed-to-be unattainable
goal Of championship as their tar
get.
1t is doubtful, as matter of fact,
~ oily VI IA0 VAoyCAo OlA0l Ludu oTCS-
nahan had any such idea at the be-
ginning of the season. Few believed
Roger was crazy enough to have any
idea himself, but 1t is beginning to
look now that he had. Always retic-
ent about his plans and his hopes, the
fans here generally thought Rogers
secretiveness was due largely to dis
gust at the inability Of the players
surrounding him to make a good
showing, but now they are beginning
to realize that he has been hammering
away on a we'll conceived plan, that
he has his men drilled to perfection
in the fine art of getting runs re-
gardless Of the number of hits they
succeed in making, and that this
spells success. Anybody can win a
pennant with the best batting and
best fielding team that can be Or
ganized, but it takes an expert to
drag forward a team like the St.
Louis Cardinals where so few experts
we're able to see any extraordinary in

things to umpires, and those of them
who happen to reside in Brooklyn
have even gone so far as to shoulder
and hustle umpires after a, game in
which their decisions did not suit
the crowds sense of fairness.
But aside from all that, the recog-
milton of the merits of the st. Louis
club is becoming rather general, and
1t is a safe prophecy to promise that
they will draw bigger crowds in their
next series at home than have greeted
them anywhere outside of st. Louis
in many long day.
Quite lot of interest was taken in
the report that there was a scheme
afoot to transfer the Detroit team to
st. Louis because St. Louis is too
good a town to waste on g, bad team.
The fair presumption is, of course,
that if any such transfer is made.
Navin will acquire an interest in the
St. Louis club in return for the trans
ference Of the players and that the
st. Louis American league team will,
therefore, have divided ownership.
AS rule this is not good for baseball.
There have been cases where more
than one man could own club and
succeed, as in the case of the Boston
triumvirate of the olden days, but as
a general proposition it is better to
have one man control and own a
club. Even a respectable minority in
terest can make trouble if it chooses
to. and with a divided ownership
there is always the question of divid-
ed responsibility for the weakness in
the teams playing. Still, anything
would be better than the present con-
condition of affairs. 1t won't do for
so good baseball town as ST. Louis
to be represented in either of the ma
jor leagues by team which can make
no better showing than the Browns
are making this year, and all the
friends Of Mr.. Hedges are hoping he
will be able to swing the Detroit
proposition in such a way that he can
retain his control of the club he
founded and still have a team that
can keep st. Louis we'll up in the per-
centage table.
