THE FOUR PENNANT RACES.
Baseball Games and News---The
Larchmont Yacht Clubs Cruise.

worcester was worsted again at Oak
land Park by Jersey City yesterday after
noon, the snap and vim OF the Gladiators'
enewed winning gait carrying them to
victory with a rush early in the contest.
h visitors worked hard TO prevent a
second successive defeat by the Pets, but
the game our boys put up was too much
for them, and they were compelled to con-
tent themselves with what little salts
faction they could get through kicking
at the umpire's decisions.
That they were justified in kicking
against some of his decisions few of those
who saw the game will deny. Larry Cor
coran was not the culprit this time. His
wretcnea work in Yesterdays encounter
between the clubs had evidently some
what fatigued him, and he took a daytoff
possibly to oblige the Massachusetts
club. In his stead Bauswein, q pitcher
Of the recently dispanded Southern
League. who expects to be signed by
Manager Powers, officiated.
He undoubtedly meant well, but once
or twice he got ratified. In consequence;
Captain Cudworth and his men strenu-
ously kicked, and once they requested
that n substitute for him should be found.

mis-, next up; stood at the plate until the
record OF bulls pitched showed two strikes
and three balls. Then Williams gave
Burke the wrong signal, and the ball
shooting wide OF the plate and rather
high injured one of Burke's fingers.
Meister sprinted home on Burke's fail
ure to stop the ball, but to eFerybody's
surprise Bauswein called Annls out on
strikes for not running. Annis insisted
that he Ii not struck at the ball, as in
deed he had not, but Bauswein persisted
that he had, and sat down heavily on the
Worcesters.
The Pets began their run-gettfng at the
outset, tallying twice in the first inning.
Knowles raped a single, took third on
Hiland's t~wo-bagger and scored on a wild
pitch. The same misplay gave Hiland
third and he beat the ball to the plate on
Friel's forced hit.
Three more runs were gathered in the
third inning, and they were sufficient to
win the game. All were earned by a
clever punching of hits and good base
running. In the eighth inning the Pets
scored twice again, the contributing fac
tors being u single, a base IN balls, a wild
throw and tumble and two steals.
Tho visitors were unable to score until
their 1ifth inning, although they bid hard
before hen for o run. In this heat
Shelter made the circuit through a base
on balls, a steal on O wild throw, and a
single by Meister. They lessened the
lead of the Pets to two Tuns by trebling
their W score in the seventh.
Hits by Stafford and Bradley, a wild
pitch and a sacrifice by Campion let the
pair tally. The scOre:-

Jersey City Now in Sole Possession Of
Second Place.

Second Place.
Jersey City divorced herself from
Worcester through the drubbing she
gave that club yesterday. and the NASSAU
chusetts team was forced back to third
place, twenty points behind the Pets.
WilEesbarre's success prevented the
Gladiators from regaining first place, the
Coal Kings having q lead of five points.
By defeating New Haven, Lowell COM
PEELED the Elm City club to reverse the
exchange made several days ago of sixth
for seventh place.
i Three of the possible results of to-day's
Atlantic Association encounters will work
changes in the rank of the four leading
clubs. The other result, successes for
both Wilkesbarre and Jersey City, will
leave the auartette as they now stand.
Jersey City can, only regain first place by
victories for herself and Hartford. This
result will put Wilkesbarre in second
place, Hartford in third, and Worcester in
fourth. Should Worcester and Hartford
win the result will merely be an exchange
of positions between Jersey City and
Worcester. A similar exchange is all that
will ensue should Wilkesbarre and Wor-
caster win. The record followS:--
