THE NATIONAL CAME.

l Another Game Won by New Haven ! Finely Played by Both Teams-Hard Hitting by All of the Home Team Lally and John Corsoran flake Three Baggers - swOrback's Curves Too
 much for the Serssyises-He strikes
 The New Ravens and Jersey Citys played 1 good game yesterday, which was a treat to | the one thousand people present. Hardly anyone realized but what the visitors would
 win, and they were of course greatly pleased 1 at the outcome, which was to 3 in favor of ! the home team.
 There was only one thing to oriticise, and l that was the base running in the fourth in- ming, when New Haven should have made two runs instead of only one.
 All hail to Sworback, who pitched for the New Ravens. He made pigmies of the hard hitters from Jerseyland. They couldn't touch his curves with any effect, and they fell easy victims to the fine fielding of the home play CTS. He struck out seven heavy hitters. Every New Havener hit the ball hard. John Oorcoran played third base as well as it possibly could be and also hit ss-hs..5 .. anyone. One fhis line hits wese tstan hv ~ Lang: John ssemsto be ths object object of criticism siderabIv Ssnt scorers. He has been con- this. Q downhearted, partly on account of -gaIss2hd partly because the bleechers had made uncomplimentary remarks about him. If those people had been gentlemen they
 would have kept quiet; but they probably didn't understand the circumstances. He should have had their sympathy, and he did nobly to go in to play under circumstances that few would have gone in under. In Sat urday's game he made but one error, but the Associated Press gave him three. On Mon day he had one, but one paper gave him three, the scorer mistaking him for another
 man. On Tuesday he played perfectly, but another paper gave him one, although he { feided everything clean. Yesterday many thought he had an error, but it was hit that was good for base, and most any other third bsseman would not have gone after ! it. But he made a hard effort to get it, to cut of the man at the plate, but couldn't. The New Haven team is not com- posed of record players, and but few seem to realize this. The people shouldn't mind errors if the players go for everything. That is one reason why Tommy Corcoran has errors. He is playing to win and not for rec- ord So he can get better position next year. It is the case with the whole team. The people should bear this in mind.
 New Haven failed to score in the first. Knowles was the first Jersey City batter. He sent the ball into right-center field for three bases, and scored on O'Briens scratch hit
 
 New Haven hit the ball hard in the second but not safely. Landman made safe hit fer the visitors, but was thrown out at second, Burdock making pretty catch of O'Rourke's throw.
 Both sides were blanked in the thirG. Sworback made the first safe hit for New Haven, But was forced at second. Knowles came to the bat and hit safely for the second time. He tried to steal second, but second later trotted to the bench. Hiland and O'Brien struck out.
 Good pitching, wasn't it?
 The spectators had chance to enthuse in the fourth. By some misunderstanding O'Rourke's foul fly dropped between Land- mann and Burke. Then O'Rourke made New Haven's second safe hit, amid great cheering. He took second on Burdock's sacrifice hit, and scored on Lslly'a single. Right here there was poor coaching. Lally had plenty of time to have reached second when Lyons threw the ball to the plate to catch O'Rourke, but he hung to first. John Corcoran hit safely, end the next two men went out. Had Lally reached second in the first place Corcoran's hit would have sent him to third, and could have had chance to score on Galligan's fly to the outfeld.
 John Corcoran and Burdock took care of Jersey City's three men.
 In the fifth Sworback reached first on his hit on which Schoeneck was put out. He made clean steal of second, and scored on 8 nice single by O'Rourke.
 O'Rourke's wild throw gave Jersey City g run in this inning. Burke hit safely, took second on 8 passed ball. O'Rourke threw over Burdock's head in trying to catch Burke mapping and he scored. Landmann and Lang struck out, and Knowles flied out.
 John Corcoran caused everybody to get up and cheer Justify in the sixth when he hit for three bases, scoring on wild pitch. Tom Corcoran and Schoeneck followed with sin- gles, but no more runs came in as Tom Cor coran was put out at the plate on Sworbacks hit to Lang.
 Hiland struck out, O'Brien flied out to Brady, and Tom Corcoran made 8 magnif- cent running stop over second base of Friels hit, and threw the ball to first base while on the run.
 The New Ravens didn't stop, but kept on scoring in the seventh. O'Rourke got his base on balls. Gerhardt's tumble of Bur- docks hit let him get to his base. Then Lally came in with his customary three bayger over the center ieldef's head. O'Rourke and [ Burdock scoring. Galligan's hit brought Lally home.
