A Brilliant Gathering at Brady's Hall
Cuban Giants Win a Game of Base
ball from the New Jersey Athletic
Clubs Nine.
The formidable Cuban Giants visited
Bergen Point yesterday afternoon and
were presented with a victory by the
team of the New Jersey Athletic Club.
The presentation was made in the
eighth inning for the visitors, and
was accomplished through wretched
wild throwing and a display of ratified
fielding work far worse than many an
exhibition of similar play by juvenile
mines. Clever Walter Beebe twirled
for the local team, and his delivery
was superior to that of Stovey, who
pitched for the Giants. Grant, the
crack second baseman of the old Buff
falo team, was with the visitors.
In the first three innings for the
Giants the local team played a sharp
and perfect fielding game and no runs
were scored. Vredenburgh opened the
run getting for the home nine in the
second inning. He hit safe to right
field, stole second by a neat slide, stole
third on a wild throw by Malone; and
sprinted home on another wild throw
by George Williams. The Giants tied
the score in the fourth heat. Grant
walked to first on four balls,
and a wild throw by Beebe
gave him third. He scored on a wild
throw by Mack. Each nine tailed
one in its fifth chance. For the Giants,
Stovey reached first ON a tumble by
Mack, stole second and dashed home
on a hit by G. Williams. For the Ath-
letics, Beebe got first on called balls,
stole second on a passed ball, stole
third and scored on a wild pitch. In
the sixth inning the local players took
the lead again. Wild was given first
by a forced hit, he stole second and
third, and tailed on a wild pitch.
The eighth inning was the home
mines Waterloo. Harrison sent a safe
grounder to left and stole second.
White struck out. Boyd sent a daisy
cutter to right and Harrison took
third. Boyd stole second and both
scored the next moment on a long
drive to centre by Selden, who stole
second. A wild throw by Joe Reilly
let Selden score. Malone was given
first through a tumble by Conway.
He stole second and reached third ON
Stovey's sacrifice. A drive by G.
Williams brought him home. Mack
made a vile overthrow and Williams
went to third. Then Joe Reilly gave
G. Williams first by a wretched throw
and G.. Williams crossed the plate.
Before Grant was retired on strikes
G. Williams scored from first on a
careless throw by Wild.
When the local players came in from
the field they made an admirable but
futile effort to retrieve the lead. Wild
went to first on balls, stole second and
came home on a lawn mower to centre
by Vredenburgh. On the throw in the
latter sped down to second. He took
third on a passed ball and scored on a
single by Beebe, who was stranded ON
second. Another run was gained in
the ninth heat. Small sent Stovey a
pop-up fly, which was muffed. Apassed
ball advanced him to second, a steal
gave him third, and a sacrifice by
Reilly let him tally. The features of
the game were magnificent catches by
Vredenburgh of hot foul drives, in the
first and fifth innings; difficult catches
by Reilly and Mack of foul flies,
driven over one hundred feet straight
up in the air, Beebe's steady pitching,
and Conway's and Grants play at
second. The score
