VIGOROUSLY UNITED
WAS CENTURY AND
COUNTY BALL GAME
PLAYED AT C. M. A. GROUNDS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON BY
THESE TEAMS.
OFFICIALS Win IN CANTER

Faucette and keItner, the PottsvilIe
Wonder, Had the Best of the Fea-
turing asd All the Players Did
creditable Work.
There was too much Pottsville and
Glendale in the officials make up
Friday for the Century bunch. The
finals of 8 to will show it.
| Manager Puryear has certainly
gotten together some ball players,
and when the last game is played, If
this same aggregation stays together,
the per cent column will come pref
! ty near showing in his favor, unless
there is a vast change in circum-
stances
The Century team, barring one or
two bone-head plays and few er
rors, played steady, winning game
under most any kind of circum-
stances. The new players strength
eden at first ana second, but the loss
Of Belts behind the bat, was a weak
hess, although Shannon worked hard.
Poth Faucette and Keltner pitched
good ball, Faucette having little
the best as to strikeouts, but kelt-
ner had him bested on the hits. 1t
was almost a physical impossibility
for the Century batters to place the
ball safe, the majority popping in the
air.
There is no discounting the fact
that Manager Puryear has two finds
in Hord and Nix. Their playing is
classy. &.
