Danville's lose to Nanticoke breaks ' the tie for first place tiiat has been ex isting ierweeu this town and Nauti coke for the past four weeks, Danville dropping to s°cond place and Nanti col-o taking position at tiie hea;i. Ne-copeck surprised the watcher- on Saturday by losing and that to Allien. Benton tied with Berwick and Recrea tion dropped oue to Shickshinny. The shifting was again all done in the second division. Bloomsburg drop ped from fourth to second—from the end. Alden went from sixth to fifth and Shickhinny jumped from seventh to sixth. Berwick still remains the tail ender. Next Saturday Danville plays at Nanticoke,Alden at Kloouisburg, Her wick at Benton an 1 Shickshiuny at Nesoopeck J' - ' With the aid of a i very strung team _ Nanticoke loaded a 7 to 1 victory un to t' ie ' r special train anil took it along home with —them on Saturday amid great rejoicing—by N'auticoke. It was a sad story of hard lack, iil omens, spells, slumps and otiier heart reading phenomena of base ball, of tiie kind that is excusable because ev ery team that has ever gathered to play the great American game has found , Itself at some time or another in its existence to be up against just such proposition? as Danville experienced Saturday, Danville has nothing to complain of in Its team. They lost a game that meant lctj to the local fans, hut they played hard and they did their best, but the Goddess of Good Luck turned her back squarely on the Danville warriors and siuil< ! benignly on Nan ticoke, and that settled it. Even Pinkie Coveieskie, usually the d:, r-.'.ing star of the Danville team.i .id tiis ctl day, He «a- wil I at times,and when he controlled his carves it was with a slow ball tha' the Nanticoke heavy hitters just naturally plastered. ' ON THE OTHER HAND. Naut oke romped through an all but errorless game with apparent non- | chalance. They iieided like tiends and batted like demons, darn em, and gave the enthusiastic rooters from up the river plenty of chances to yell them selves hoarse. It was a matter of comaoa report here after tiie game tiiat a large maj ority of the Nanticoke nine were not regularly signed niemherFof that team, but ringers recruited especially for the Danville game. Without going in to the 'ruth or falseness of tiie rumors it is sufficient to say tiiat 112 such gc iupson'' are being tolerated in the league the sport will scon lc-e its popularity. The matter s'icald be in vestigated. A SAD STORY. The detailed story of the game is a sad on",but here goes —you lon't have to r,-ad it if you don't want to Nanticoke to.
