Acitizen suggested after the game Tues
day afternoon, upon a sizing up of the
crowd, that his satanic majesty must have
given his subordinates a day off and they
had improved the occasion by visiting
Woodstown.
If mothers would accompany their boys,
sisters the yonng men, and wives their
husbands 10 the base ball games herea.
bo1ts the chances are there would be less
rowdyism, less run drinking and less
drunkenness.
Signs calling attention to the fact that
betting and the use Of profane language
were forbidden on the grounds were no
ticed yesterday. All the same it is thought
that no small amount of money was wa
gered on the Tesult-on the quiet.
The South Lrseymau talks Of Woods
towns combination of players. Look at
this Bobby Matthews and linn, of Ath-
letic Reserves; Jones, of Solar Tips; Kelly.
Haigh and Whartenby. of Germantown;
Sell, of Camden; Lawson and Wildermuth
of Salem. Two men from Salem and z
men from the Association and Interstate
Leages Of Philadelphia.
THE GAME on TUESDAY.
The second game between the Woods
town and Bridgeton clubs was to have
been played on the grounds at this place
on Tuesday. The Bridgeton club brought
over a strong team. composed in part of
Athletic reserves. Melville men and others,
and the game as far as played was q close
and interesting one. 1t was ended in the
sixth inning by Weidel, an Athletic re-
serve man, who covered second base for
Bridgeton, and who as captain of the team,
withdrew his men, and the umpire, Chas.
Opel, of Salem, gave the game to the
Woodstown club. The cause of with
drawal was a decision of the umpire on a
run of Potts to second, which the umpire
declared safe, which decision the Bridge
ton players refused to accept. The score
at the time the game was interrupted was
a tie, each side being credited with three
runs. Bradley and Miller did the battery
work for the visiting club.
AS for the crowd that accompanied the
club, the less said the better. We desire
to go on record, however, in stating that
it was the toughest and toughest gang that
ever set foot within OR borough limits.
On the grand stand they outnumbered onr
home people two to one, and by their noisy
and boisterous behavior, coupled with
their disgusting and drunken remarks,
drove every lady from the stand before the
end of the second inning. We do not know
where these hoodlums came from, but for
Bridgeton's sake we hope they are not res
idents there.
SALEM "DoNE uP' ONCE MORT.
The third game of the series between our
home team and the Salem Club was played
here yesterday. The only Bobby Matthews
and linn of the Athletic Reserves posed as
the battery for Salem, while Vickery and
Sopher did the business for Woodstown.
Twas a great game. 1t was a pitchers
game and Bobby Matthews was worsted.
1t was a fair, square, clean game, full of
fine points and good plays and exeels any
game ever witnessed in this part Of the
State. Salem has gone to great expense to
wipe out the Woodstown Il. b. Club, but
the boys keep on top all the time.
The attendance was the largest at any
game yet played here, and the absence of
disorder was in marked contrast to that OF
the Bridgeton followers on Tuesday. The
following is the score:
