bering the victory they won from the
leaders at Oakland Park almost a fort
night ago, the erstwhile tailenders played
ball for keeps yesterday afternoon, and
consequently gathered another game
from Manager Powers pets. The local
clubs success was due to S~worbach's
brilliant pitching and the lively manner
in which they touched up Landmarks
delivery.
Seven scattered singles and five long
flies were all the visitors were able to
get from the suiky twirler. In return he
struck out ten of the men they sent to the
bat, assisted in o neat double play n
made nine fielding assists. From Land
mann's pitching the local club batted W
t~hree-baggers, eleven singles N nine
long flies. Five of the latter were deity
captured by "Patsey'' Frlel and three by
Hiland.
The encounter was hard fought in the
earlier part, the Jerseymen scoring once
in their first chance. The local club did
not tally until their fourth inning, n
then they only tied the score. Each club
added another run in its fifth heat. In
the sixth inning the home club took the
lead by scoring again. "A batting streak
aided 1t to double its runs in the seventh.
In their last inning the Jerseyites rallied
but their work only yielded a single run.

afternoon on the Avenue A grounds at
Bergen Point. They freely hit Beebe's
delivery, dropping the ball frequently just
over the infielders' heads for safe hits. In
addition Al. Williams hustled the ball in
the eighth inning far to the right for a
home RIM. The hits We're too scattered
to b. very effective for run getting. Nine
were made in the first seven innings,
and only.two run were tailed.
Worth's pitching was also batted fairly
well by the local team, although they
were unable to bunch theh hits and there
by carr the runs they gathered. Catcher
Collins wild throwing and his brothers
errors contributed materially to the home
clubs success. A drive for three bags to
the left by BILLY Wild preceded Williams
home run and earned the applause of the
spectators. Up to the seventh inning the
local club played a perfect fielding game,
making three brilliant double plays in
the first four innings.
