COPS SECOND
Error in Fourth Inning Throws
Fast Game Against the
Chicks
TO HARRISBURG FOR
THREE GAME SERIES

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
LANCASTER, Pa, May 22.-Wil-
mington was worsted by the Roses
here on Saturday afternoon in a red
hot engagement by a score Of 2 to /.
The game was more distinctly accent
uated by the element OF luck than any
witnessed in Lancaster for many a
day Buscher had a slight advantage
over Coveleskie in the pitching and
the Chicks very clearly outflelded the
locals, and. although Hogan's outfit
we're held 10 only three hits Il hap
pened that all were punched in the
fourth inning, in which session, also,
the visitors interjected the only mis-
play that marred their otherwise
flawless and high class work. This
combination yielded Lancaster her
two runs. OF the four wallops that
the Chicks negotiated from Coveles-
kie's offerings only that of Marhefka
in the first availed in clubbing in a
run. Bells singles in the second and
fourth innings, on each occasion after
two we're retired and a fine three bag
ger by Murphy in the fifth were vast
ed. A great stop and throw by Mar
hefka off Covelesl1ie in the eighth was
the fielding feature, barring the work
of the pitchers who ran along on al
most precisely even terms with re-
spect to hits, passes and strike outs.
The Chicks were the first TO show
their colors Seigfried opened the
game by working Coveleslie for a
pass. Murphy laid down a perfect
sacrifice, being retired by Coveleskie

inning furnished a nerve raclSing ex-
