The Jail Birds won a hollow victory at
the Tiotting park yesterday afternoon
when they defeated the home team In the
first of the State Leaguo series by a score
of 23 to 12. They snatched the victory
from a band of men who were strangers
to each other both socially and pro
fessionally, never having played, or even
practiced, together before. More than
that, the team only donned its suits for
the first time about an hour before the
game started and only three of the men
played on the grounds previous to yester
day. On the other hand, Pottsville has
almost the same team that played to
gether and won the pennant last season,
tney had three or four weeks practice,
they wore old uniforms in which their
limbs had full play, and all but two of
the men knew the grounds. With these
specifications take the fact that the
much lauded Carbondale club was de
feated yesterday by the Hazletons to the
tune of 22 to 11, and then let our people
ask themselves need they weep. Taking
everything into consideration the home
team made a very fair opening yesterdaj
and it will undoubtedly be heard fruin
very favorably before the season la many
weeks old. At the same time it must be
admitted that two of the players proved
disappointments yesterday. Kennedy
and Stveitzerdld not come up to neur the
.mark. The former wasn't able to hold
the ball and the Harrlsburg man was
slow and stiff. His use of the stick was
also very yellow and he struck out at two
critical points, once wnen the bases were
fall. In a base ball suit Sweitzer look-
somewhat like Ralston, the dwarf, in
"The Dazzler." Sweitzer has an advan
tage in nature. There is not much dan
ger of serious injury to his person when
he falls, as the drop is a short one.
The Pottsvilles batted like fiends at
times, and yet they only made two more
hits than Shenandoah, but the batting by
the former team was timely.
Hughes retired McCoach and Little In
the first inning with strike outs. Kennedy
got as far as flrst,by being hit by a
pitched ball. Gill went out on a tly to
Smith. Davis opened the inning for
Pottsville and got to second on a passed
ball. Smith got his base on balls and
Tighe brought the two first runs in with
a strong two-bagger. An error by b weltzen
and one by Merriman, and Fox's home
run ran up the runs to the half dozen
mark.- The first run scored by Shenan
doah waB forced in by Hughes in the
second Inning, McGarvey, Clark, Merri
man and Soven getting their bases on
balls. While the first three were on bases
Sweitzer struck out. Merriman was
thrown out at the home plate by Fox to
Hughes and McCoach brought Clark and
Severs home with n two-bagger. A
single by Hill and doubles by Smith,
Tighe and Ellis, garnished with errors by
Kennedy, Little and McGarvey added
five more runs to the Pottsville score.
'Little opened the third inning with a
hit, Gill struck out and McGarvey
followed with a home run, increasing the
Shenandoahs' score to 5. Clark went out
on a throw by Hughes to Fuller and
Merriman struck out. Pottsville did not
remain long at the plate in this inning,
Davis got to first oa balls, but was thrown
out at second by Kennedy, Smith was
thrown out at first by Merriman and
Tighe went out on a fly ft) Gill.
Kennedy was in hard luck in the fourth
inning. After Sweitzer had been thrown
out at tlrst by Eustace and bevers got a
base on balls, Kennedy was hit by a
pitched ball and as he was muklng for
second the ball hit by Little and the side
went off the diamond. The Pottsvilles
were retired in short order. Ellis went
out on a fly to Little, Fuller was thrown
outatfirat by Merriman, and Hill went
out at second on a throw by Sweitzer after
getting to first by Sweitzer's error.
The three rubs scored by the home team
th the dtth inning were made on a single
by McGarvey, a base on balls given to
Clark and two-baggers by Merriman and
Severs, The ray of hope this work brought
to view was again cast into the shadow
by Fuller's single, Eustace's two bagger,
n single by Tight; and .hills' home run,
aided by a base on balls, two stolen bases
and wild pitches.
In the sixth innlug Kennedy, the flr'at
batter, went out on 11 tly to Fuller, Little
made a hit and went out on a throw by
Eustace to Tighe, Gill getting to first.
McGarvey then wade a two-bagger, but
It was valueless, as Clsrk struck out.
Singles by Kus-.ace and Fuller and two
bHggers by Stanhope and Tighe, with a
base on balls and au error by Sweitzer
increased the Potttvllle soore to 20 runs.
Hil-tby' Merriman, Rafferty, Kennedy
and GUI Increased the home team's score
to 10 iu theseventh inulng nnd n slngl
by Fox, nn error by McGarvey nnd two
bigfiurs by Hughes and Stanhope ran up

NOTES.
The paid attendance at the game was
very good, but the jail lrds outnumbered
them twenty to one.
The management should begin the
season in a business like manner and
strictly enforce all the rules. The grounds
adjoining the diamond should be kept
clear by-all means.
The grand stand is in need of consider
able repair, but time will remedy all
matters.
It was creditable to both teams that the
playing was wholly free of rowdyism.
The general opinion is that when the
home team has timeto'get down to work
It will make the other clubs in the league
hustle.
People who say they know what they
are talking about believe that Kennedy
will prove a good man, in spite of his
work yesterday.
Sweitzer was certainly on thelimburger
cheese order yesterday. He was not in
Harrlsburg shape.
Severs made a good Impression.
Rafferty pitched the last three innings.
'Four two-baggers and three singles were
made oft his dalivery.
Pottavllle has a jewel In Hughes.
Little needs nn electric motor in his
heels, but promises well as a hitter.
Messrs. youngfielsh and Martin repre
seuted the Journal and Chronicle at the
game yesterday.
Charley Burchllland ex-Billiard Expert
Bowman were spectators at the game.
Fox has the honor of being the first
man to knock the ball over the' centre
field fence this sea90d.
McGarvey showed up In excellent style
as a batter and runner yesterday.
Sufficient care is not taken by the home
management in giving the batting order
to the scorers.
The Shenandoah team looked nice and
fresh Initsuniform of cream with maroon
trimmings, and maroon stockings, while
i ottsville presented a very shabby ap
pearance in a mixture of old-suits
