postponed.
In one of the longest, best-played
and most sensational games of the
season. Newport Won out from Dun
cannon in II innings on Saturday on
the Duncannon field by a to 2 score.
Both Connors, on the mound for New
port and Stricken hurting for Dun
cannon, went the full route.
The game was full of thrills
throughout. Neither team scored af-
ter the sixth inning, when Newport
| tailed a single run and deadlocked
the score. Several good opportunities
to score were lost, but gilt-edged
pitching and air-tight support pre-
vented any further runs being pushed
across the platter until the fatal sew
enteenth.
Newport and runners on second and
third several times with but one man
out, but in each instance Stricken
frightened up and managed to stave
off any run getting.
Stricken Fails on Squeeze
Failing to get the signal for the
squeeze play in the sixteenth, Strick-
er himself, lost a good opportunity to
pull the game out of fire for Duncan
non. Leading off in the sixteenth
with n single, he was sacrificed to
second by Waltz and stole third. With
one out, the signal for the squeeze
play was given and De Haven laid
down a perfect bunt. Stricken had
not gotten the signal and had but a
short lead Off and was an easy out
at the plate.
The outstanding features of the
games was the high class hurting of
Stricken and Connors. with the latter
having a slight edge. He managed
to keep the eight hits gathered by
Duncannon, scattered we'll through
out the seventeen innings of play and
was seldom in trouble. He whitfield

free pass. Stricken was slightly be-

wilder, issuing four passes. Seven
teen hits were collected from his de-
livery.
Veteran Features
Several exhibitions of high class
fielding thrilled the audience during
the game. Old "Pi" Hunter, who
played ball long before most of his
teammates and opponents were born,
playing the last part of the game in
right field, brought the crowd to it's
feet by a sensational running catch

made a sensational stop of a hard
drive over the sack on a drive by
Stricken and saved some trouble for
Connors.
Kepner did some class fielding while
Shreffler featured with his stock
work. H. Wagner and Doner each
had triples, both of which were re-
sponsible for runs. II. Wagner's came
