WILL WE EVER WIN ? THE RESULT OF SATURDAY'S GAME WAS VERY HUMILIATING TO THE LOCAL CRANKS. ThcLocal Management Is Being Criti cised Unmercifully, and the Poor Playing of the Team Will Cause Small Attendance. Shenandoah is supposed to bo repre sented in the State League by a base ball team, but If one is allowed to judge om the four games with the jail birds at the county seat it Is no more than natural to conclude that we are merely filling up a gap lu the circuit. One thing Is certain, either the Shenandoah team is playing a very inferior class of ball or the champions are putting up a gilt-edge specimen of that commodity. The poor exhibitions on the part of the home team, It continuei, will have n depressing effect upon the enthusiasm of the local cranks, and it will show itself in small atten dances at the park. Something must be done on the part of the management to counteract this feeling if they desire a successful season, and that very soon. However, Manager Brennan appears to be making an effort to strengthen his team wherever a weak polui appears, but the trouble lieb In the fact that hU efforts lu thU directiou were not beun earlier in the seaton. The home teani was certainly uuudicupp d for want of practice. In dividually, there are teveral good players upou the team and with a weeding out of the inferior article and u little practice wo may all be happy yet. The season is yet young, and It is a little too early to estimate correctly the relative strength of the clubs composing the league. Car bondale, which is looked upon as being one of the strongest t3tmsiln the league, is tied with ShenaudoauTbr last) place. There inrty be but little consolation In this statement for the followers of the local team, but It goes to show that base ball Is very uncertain, and that the tail enders sometimes close the season in the lead with a Garrison finish. The game on Saturday was a very poor exhibition on the part of the Shenan doah team, and the attendance was very tmall. Mattern, who was released by Pottsville, was put in the box against his former colleagues--. His support was any thing but good, and errors on the part ol the intielders seemed to be the order cf the day. Cain and Fox were In the polnt3 for Pottsville, and the former held his op ponents down to seven hits. Tighe led at the bat, having to his credit two singles, two doubles and a home run.
