Stooktons us. Woodridees.

The Stocktons visited Woodbridge yester
day afternoon and succeeded in vanquish-
ing the team of that place. The game
was well contested up to the fifth inning,
when the Stocktons, by good stick work.
forged ahead of their opponents and kept
the lead for the rest of the game. The
field work on both sides was very sharp.
with the odds in favor of the Stocktons.
The pitching of Howard and catching of
Welsh, of the Woodridges, were among
the features. Steinbruck continues to
pitch great ball, and MoyIan supports
him in good style. One of the most re-
markable plays was a catch by Cotter, of
the Stocks, in centre field. and the throw
ing of the ball to home plate in time to
put Healey out as he tried to steal home.
Cotter drove the ball over right field fence
with three on bases and two out in the
sixth inning. He is a valuable man on
the team. The score of the game was as
follows;z

Several hundred members of the
various bowling clubs of Hudson county
gathered on Monday evening about the
alleys in Orient Hall on jackson avenue,
this city, and saw John Smith and Archie
Duke, of the Belvedere Bowling Club, de-
feat Frank Muller and Frank Evans, of
the Pin Knight Bowling Club, in the
third and decisive series of bowling
matches for trophies worth $50 and the
championship of The county.
Duke and Smith were the favorites in
the betting at the start, their clever bowl
ing in the second series of games having
won them many partisans. They out
scored their opponents in the first two
games rolled, but were beaten in the next
two contests. At this stage of the match
the total scores of Muller and Evans ex-
ceeded those of. Duke and Smith by six
teen points, and there was considerable
hedging of wagers. Many new bets were
laid and the interest in the encounter be-
came lively.
Inc next four games were captured by
Duke and Smith, although the score of
the fifth was so close that If Muller had
made a spare he and his mate would have
Won it by four points. The bowling OF
Muller II Evans in the last three games
was a poor exhibition. The match lasted
three hours, Duke and Smith winning by

Only in the pennant race of the

days championship games work any
change in the rank of the clubs. In that
competition New York ended her long
and persistent struggle to acquire first
place by ousting Boston therefrom and
taking The position with a lead of eight
points. To accomplish this feat the
assistance of Pittsburg was necessary,
but Pittsburg also profited thereby, for
Washington in behalf of New York
enabled the Smoky City club to regain
sixth place from the Heosiers. All of the
Eastern clubs, save Boston, won, Phila-
delphia again increasing her lead over
Cleveland.
The four leading clubs of the American
Association hettered their percentages
