LOLL FOR COUNTING HITS.
Hessling Was in Good Form, in Fact
the "Boys" Were in OId-Time
Shape-In Good Condition For
Hawley Saturday.
The LINK" has either joined the
Chautauqua or gone to Canada with
Harry K. Thaw, at any rate he has
departed from the local base ball
diamond and left the bats of the To-
cal team loaded with timely, yea,
very timely, base hits, in fact one of
the bats was loaded so heavily that
when "Duffer" Weaver swung on
one of Carpenters fast ones in the
first game it sent the ball so far out
in left field that the left fielder had
to g take pretty long walk" before
he recovered it, and by that time
Weaver was home. 1t was the first
home run of the year, and one of the
longest if not the longest hits ever
made on the grounds.
But to begin at the beginning.
Honesdale defeated the strong For
est City team in a double header on
Saturday by better all around work
by the scores of to 0 and IL to 4.
The first game was by far the best,
The locals put up a good game be-
hind our old reliable "Pop" Hess
ling, who twirled in his old-time
form, letting the Forest City sluggers
down with five hits in, the first game
that he has pitched since July 18th.
Guess that's going some? We will
have to hand it to Pop" for ship
ping that 'jinx' to Canada.
The first game started so early
that the White Mills boys, Lily and
Loll, did not arrive until the third
inning; Capt. Brader caught and
Tarkett played shortstop in the
meantime. The features of the game
were the timely home run of Weav-
er's, which came in the second in
ming with one out and no doubt
helped great deal in downing the
Forest City boys. Buck" Faatz also
had two very timely hits and sacri-
flee, out of four times up. Mangan
; had good day at third. We scored
two in the second inning, when Walk
er was passed, Faatz sacrificing him
to second, and Weaver hit his his
tory-making home run, which re-
minded us of the days Of Jos. Demer,
: We added another run in the third.
Brader was hit, took second on a
wild throw by Wolfert, and third on
Lily's scratch hit, and came home on
, Mangan's sacrifice fly to deep center.
In the fifth the locals worked three
more over the pan. Brader singled,
but was forced at second on Lily S
attempted sacrifice; w. Strattford
let Mangan's drive get away from
him, Lily taking second. Tarkett
= flew out to w. Strattford, Walker
singled, scoring Lily, who took sec
ond on the throw in, and he with
+ Mangan, scored on a nice single by
Faatz.
Forest City tried three pitchers in
the second game, all of whom were
well received by the local heavy ar
tillery. Carpenter, who pitched the
first game, finally had to go to the
mound. Every man of the locals was
credited with at least one hit, Man
gan leading with two two-gabbers,
and Lily, Tarkett and Schilling each
having two hits.
Honesdale scored one in the first
inning. Lily singled, took second
and third on wild pitches and came
home when w. Miskel became
, "peeved" and threw the ball to cen
ter field.
Faatz started the second inning
with a nice three-bagger over the
center fielder's head, but was caught
mapping at third. Weaver then
singled and stole second and third
and came home on Schilling's single
In the fourth Pitcher Carpenter
with the aid of three errors, took a
ride in the airship. Walker singled
and stole, Wolfert erred on Zohara' s
poor throw of Weaver's grounder and
Walker scored. Kellay threw Schil-
= ling's drive to the bleachers, Weaver
. scoring. Loll, Brader, Lily, Mangan
and Tarkett all hit safely, and Walk
er, up for the second time, sent one
through Joe Miskel, runs in all
t counting. Our last runs were scored
in the fifth. Brader walked. Man.
. gan hit for two bases. Tarkett sing
gled and Walker was safe when VOL.
:, fert muffed Miskels throw of his
r liner, Brader and Mangan scoring.
I George Sandercock is spending q
3 vacation in Elmira. Lily was right
: at home behind the bat, and Weaver
. certainly showed that he could cover
9 first in fine style.
= Buck Faatz continues his heavy
r hitting and leads the team with al
average of .40S. Tarkett is right af
o ter him with an average of .403
