Two Games
WELL PLAYED, WON BY
Battling Giants!
A GAME EXTREMELY INTERESTING WAS PLAYED AT HAWLEY
ON SATURDAY, AND SHUT OUT THE HOME AGGREGA
TION HY. THE SCORE OF 4 TO O.
A colored band of gentlemen with Captain William as master of cere
monies Invnded this town (Hawley) on Saturday and did a little white
washing. It was no disgrace for the locals to lower their colors before tne
Giants; we were simply outclassed In every part of the game. Wil
liams, until he became an advertisement for Mellen's Food, was considered
to be one of the best catchers among the colored element. He has been
playing base ball long before Charlie Elliott ever landed In Hawley.
In the sixth Inning after one was out, Land, the next to bat, shoved an
easy' one to McCloskey which he futnbled. The next man up struck out.
Weaver pushed a hot one between third and short. Edwards fumbled
Bragg's grounder and Williams brought two men home, with a hit to
left. In the eighth Mathew hit for a single down first bads line. Weaver
lands a hard drive over Rose's head and both men came home on Rose's
low throw to McAndrew which he should have fielded to home instead.

White Mills went against the real
thing Sunday when they were beaten
by the score of 4 to 2 by the Battling
Giants of Scranton.
In the second inning the locals had
all the chance in the world to win the
game, with three men on bases and
no one out, but the next three batters
died easy, and a little bunt down
first base line would have done wond
ers but it was not forthcoming.
Again in the seventh inning, after
two men were out and two strikes
