HONESDALE WINS EXCITING
GAME FROM ARCHIBALD
GAME WON IN THE NINTH IN
MING IN BRILLIANT RALLY
OF LOCAL BOYS.


Sandercocax's Two-Bagger and
"Buck" Faatz's Single Bring in
Three Needed Runs-Prof. Oday
Also Helped.
We won! We won! We won!!l
In what was probably the most
sensational finish ever seen on the
local base ball grounds was last Sat
urday afternoon when good old Ben
ME Hessling was once more the mas
ter of his old rivals, the strong Arch
bald team, leaders of the Lackawan-
ma County League. OF course they
hit Bennie harder than they used to,
but he is the same old foxy Ben"
and he was there in the pinches,
even though his support was very
'wobbly" at times, for Jacobs had
an off day in the feld-but then,
Joe is naturally good fielder and all
he needs is little practice. Any
way, as long as we won everyone is
forgiven even by those who "knock"
the hardest.
But to return to that "swat fast
in the ninth. Archibald was two runs
to the good when Eddie Collins Lar
son came to the bat in the ninth and
Indianapolis" Bonner was wjzching
full fans had started home, when
crack went Larson's bat as he singled
between first and second; then when
Iloff, Honesdale's new pitcher from
Syracuse University, pinching for
Honesdale, flied out to Gaughan, an
other sigh arose and a few more
fans" started home, but wait!
murmur arises, Capt. Brader is send
ing in another pinch hitter. Loll,
one of the three LIS from White
Mills is seen going to the plate to
bat for Schilling. He looks deter
mined, he bangs the first ball pitched
for a clean single between third and
short and everybody is sitting up to
take notice. Frank Cory's mighty
voice is heard for blocks away as
Capt. Brader steps to the plate, but
like the mighty Casey, he struck out
and another sigh arose, which was
followed by a shout from many
voices as Sandy, the dependable,
faces Archbald's best bet. He has
made two two-baggers earlier in the
game, can he do it again, is the
question heard on all sides? AS
Bonner, with that smile that would
not come off, drew back his trusty
arm, Sandy found good foothold,
and ball met bat with crash, and
as it sailed out to deep left center
everyone held their breath wonder
ing if Archbald's speedy fielders
would reach it, and when it passed
far over their heads a mighty roar
once more rent the air and the score
was tie with Sandy on second and
"Buck" Faatz at the bat. "Buck"
lhasn't done anything with the bat
| thus far in the game and everyone
seems to think that he is "due" for
something, and Buck" is equal to
the occasion as he neatly singled be-
tween second and first. Captain
Gaughan of Archibald threw up the
sponge (his glove) and the game
was ours.
Honesdale scored in the first; Nc
Hale, pitching for Archibald, hit
Schilling with the first ball pitched,
and gave Brader base on balls, and
Sandy was there with his first wal
lop to deep center for two bases;
Brader and Schilling came home;
Mangan was safe on Welsh's error,
and Lily, Jacobs and Larson all
singled in succession, bringing in
two more runs.
We scored again in the third on
Sandy's second two-bagger which
Boland couldn't find while Sandy
took third, and came home on a wild
pitch. Bonner started to pitch in the
sixth and Honesdale couldn't touch
him until the ninth. The story of that
fateful inning has already been told.
Archibald scored in the second on
a base on balls to Walsh and two
. baser by Welsh. They got two more
in the third on Jacobs muff of
Brogan's fly, Dondigan and Kelley's
/, two-bagger and Mangan's bad
throw of Gaughan's grounder. They
scored again in the sixth on Miller's
two-baser and Bonner's single.
Archbald's last three runs were
scored in the ninth, on Schilling' S
error, Gaughan's two-bagger and
Brader's error.
The batting of Sandy of course
was the feature for Honesdale. Lily
also played first base in fine style.
Kelley's batting featured for the
Archibald team.
The score and lineup follows:
HONESDALE.
