ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR THE
..-.- HOME TEAM.
BEATEN BY SIX TO NOTHING.
Kimbsr's Pitching Too Much for the Home
Battsrs, and They Only Get Three Men
on BRses-SoOros of Other Games.

In yesterdays game with the strong Mer-
ritt team of Camden, the Quickstep batted
like babies, and succeed In getting but three
men on the bases during the entire game.
Kinber, the Merritt pitcher, played strong
game, but for all that he ought to have been
batted with more effect. Albert made a
drive for three bags in the fifth inning, but
got put out while running home, aud this
was the only real hit made during the game
For the Quicksteps Pyle pitched one Of his
best games, and had he been properly sup
ported the Merritt score would have been
two, instead of six. In the fourth inning
Sweeney reached first by reason of Barber's
bad throw, and Gardner followed on called
balls. Corcoran hit to Albert, and
Sweeney was put out In trying to steal
home. This left Gardner and Corcoran on
bases. Householder took the bat and made
hit which struck the ground and bounded
over the pitchers head. Smiley started for
iI, and had he ielded it would have retired
the side. He missed 1t, however, and Gard
ner scored. Bresnaham also allowed the
same hit to pass him, and Corcoran came
home. Kimber then closed the inning by
going out. s-...a
Clean base hits by Kennel, Greenwood
and Fennelly yielded the Merritts
one earned run in the fifth in
ming. Another run came In during
the seventh, and In the eighth
Gardner had reached first Householder
sent him home by drive over right field
fence.
At the close of the seventh INNING Gu
sick received foul tip on his mask, which
drove q piece of the wire into his cheek, in
fiicting a'nasty cut. He was compelled to
retire, and Burns, the new catcher, tried his
hand. He was rather nervous, however,
and did not show up we'll.
