The News of
THE BALLOON WENT Ur
AT SUSQUEHANNA
i And "Our Pets" Cnmo Home With
the Scoro 10-4 in Susquehanna's
Favor A Poor Exhibition of the
National Sport No Earned Runs
on Either Side O'Gara Was Soaked
Hard Enough Costly Errors by
the Crescents The Game.
Sitstiuchunna, 10; Crescents, 4.
This Is the tula of yesterday's game
in the town of the hills north of us.' It
'was a game that was not creditable to
' Susquehanna, while "the Pets" well,
they-bad an off day; a day very much
.off. (Honestly, ye admiring and loyal
rooters, they played sloppy ball
s-1-o-p-p-y. They must have been
afraid of the natives, or possibly the
creek no, the Susquehanna, Whitney
called It for It was quite high yester
day. ' '.Well, anyhow, as "Chuck" Connors
Would say, the day was fierce for er
rors, whatever caused it, and wo paid
the price a defeat. However, there's
. ' consolation in tho fact that It was only
'the first' actual defeat buncoes not
counted that we have suffered In ten
games. There's a day next week when
we'll have another go at Susquehanna,
'and on a diamond that It not like the
, camel-back railway at Atlantic City.
We expect that then the story will bo
of a different kind.
. As mentioned before, the game was
awful; the baloon went up early in
'the game and never came down.
i This applies to both sides, though
Susquehanna's errors were not so
'costly as ours. Some of our errors,
bad throws, for example, let in two
runs more than once, when the run
ner should have been retired, the runs
choked off and the succeeding batter
"prevented from scoring.
The detailed score tells the story
more effectively than a column of ex
planation. There was not on earned
run on either side, all the ten runs by
Susquehanna and the four wo got were
the price of errors. Any crank con
llgure out what a brilliant (?) game
both teams must have played.
Owney McAndrew pitched almost ns
good a game as O'Gara, despite tho
severe cold from which he was suffer
ing, which took from him Vila wonted
energy and ginger. The shade of dif
ference In favor of O'Gara can be seen
In the following comparison of their
'records for the afternoon: Hits Off
O'Gara, 11; strike outs, 1; hits, off
McAndrew, 9; strike outs, 1. McAn
drew gave 3 bases on balls and hit one
player, while O'Gara gave 2 bases on
balls.
This record shows that every man
that came to bat on Carbondale's side
hit O'Gara, with the exception of three.
They hit the ball hard, too; they went
in the air mostly, away out In deep
center, but were bagged by the Sus
quehanna fielders, who were onto the
rolls and curves and pitfalls and gul
leys of the Susquehanna outfield, and
could cover the ground without dan
ger of stumbling. Our hits, when we
did make safe ones, came when there
were no men on bases. 'When men
were on bases the hard slammed balls
were captured. Emmett and Cuff and
McHale pounded the ball to the ex
treme outfield, but they dropped Into
nets.
Emmett made . superb one-handed
catch of a fly in deep center, after a
run backward and upon a knoll.
Rosier made gome splendid throws
to home plate, which, however, were
lost. Hart made one peach of a catch
in right, while Gallaghy's lightning
work, assisted by McHale, effected a
dandy double play.
Taylor, of Susquehanna is one great
ball player; as fielder, hitter or base
runner, he Is It. His homo is in Chi
cago, and he is a member of a college
team.
Schmaltz, while unquestionably a
fine player, did not shine in yesterday's
game. Pethick, at short, played gilt
edge, while Topping, Wright and
Keefe, the outfielders, won a good deal
of glory.
