HITS.
Hoop 'em up the Doylestowh nine has
at last won game.
w. II. BELLS, the Umpire of las: Thurs
days game, did credit to himself as such.
Scott - says he thinks they can beat
the Penningtons, Thursday of next week.
Boys, look out for the errors--they look
bad to your credit on the score book.
Lambertville is entitled to the credit Of
having the best amateur base ball club in
the county, If not In the State.-Hunter-
don Democrat.
Think Of 1t, Eve home runs. Smith
Hart, look out.
It is not yet known definitely what club
Con. will sign with for next season.
Schenck never drops fly and Colllgan
is just like him.
The fat men say they can beat the lean
men of this city--that is, those that never
handled the base ball. AS was seen at the
game yesterday, some Of the lean men
had experience in the game, while the fat
men had none whatever. Don't get dis
couraged, fatties; "wait'' until the Their
mometer goes down, then try it. You
will find different result.
Jewell had his batting clothes on last
Thursday.
Base ball seems to be the craze In Lam
bertville at the present time.
Callan has not had an error 10 the last
four games in which he caught.
Wolverton was too sick to play on
Thursday last, but says he will be on
hand to help knock out Pennington.
Capt. Stout, of the fat nine, managed
his nine well, considering the heavy
wsights-2, 900 pounds.
When Lambertvilles go TO Pennington
to play the return game the battery will
be Colligan and Wolverton. Hurley and
Callan will also be there.
There will be large crowd to witness
the Pennington game next week.
The Flemingtons would have been shut
out II it had not been for those errors.
During the game on Tuesday three of
TIE fat men made splendid falls-Bowers,
Liverton and Sherman.
Pennington boys were good natured be-
fore their defeat and afterward, and de-
serve mentioning. They were entertain
ed at the York Street House, where head
quarters were made.
It 10 hoped that when the Penningtons
come to this city, Thursday Of next week,
that nothing will take place to mar theiI
pleasure. Let the citizens turn out and
give them welcome to our city, as this
Is their first appearance.
1t Is reported around town that since
the game of Tuesday last some Of the
fat men are wearing electric pads.
Owing to the Association guaranteeina
expenses 10 visiting clubs. collections
have been taken up on the day games are
played. In some instances not enough
was taken up to defray expenses. Il ID
hoped In the future that all who attend
will contribute something, The Associa.
tion has worked up good games SO far and
expect to continue until the season closes
and thus deserve the support Of our citi
zens and others to defray their expenses.
All the players are men wellknown il
this community and deserve the supper,
