Jersey City and Newark had another
battle for second place in the Atlantic
Association race at Oakland Park yester-
day afternoon, and again Jersey City won
through opportune hitting.
Few of the five hundred spectators in
attendance expected to see the home club
emerge victorious from the conflict, and
at the outset the contingent of Newark
ers present were offering large odds upon
the Little Giants with few takers,
Later, when the outlook for Powers
Pets appeared to be Frightening and the
cautious J~erseyites unloosed their purse
strings and offered to back the Gladiators
with boodle, they found that the people
county way station had nothing to say.
Trott's team went into the game with
every nerve braced by O grim deter
mination to win, and thus capture the
coveted rank. Powers Pets started off
with the gritty gait that has so often
carried them to success, and their every
action betrayed their purpose to not be
beaten.
The patural sequence of these facts was
the good game both clubs put up for five
innings. During this interval the contest
was really q pitchers battle. Dooms doing
considerably better work than Landmann,
who again opposed him in the box.
In the first Two INNINGS for the local
club the Newark twirleF struck out six
batsmen, the victims of his terrific shoots
and willy curves being O'Brien, Friel,
Gerhardt and Lang. the former pair fan
ming the ambient twice.
Despite Doomes' effective work, his de-
livery was touched up in the first five in
nings for one two bagger, seven singles,
four long flies and two forced hits.
The strain pon D0oms was, however,
more than he could stand, and as the
clean hitting was gradually giving the
Pets a good lead he went to pieces and
left the box at the end of the seventh in
ming. Two ~two,baggers, two singles,
several s~kyrocket flies and two bases on
balls counted against him in the sixth
and seventh innings.
Dunn, lately of the New Orleans Club,
succeeded him in the box, but his pitching
was too wild to do much execution, and
he did not have time to get into shape and
ShoW his calibre,
The visitors batted Landmarks pitching
rather freely in the early innings, but as
the game progressed he became cooler and
his delivery improved. From him the
the Little Giants batted out a pair of two
baggers and five singles.
After the second inning he was only
twice hit safe. Two sacrifice hits and ten
fine flies, all of which were cleverly cap
tured, were also made by the Newark.
AS usual the local tedm went first to
the bat, and they made an admirable bid
for some u getting, only to have
stranded the men who acquired bases, In
their first inning the visitors scored two
earned runs. These were offset by a
couple Of runs gathered through hits and
errors by the Pets in their second in
ming.
Neither side scored again until the fifth
heat, when the Gladiators got another
man around the circuit. This slight lead
appeared to demoralize the Little Giants,
and they only went to the bat thereafter
to take a dose of goose eggs in all save
their eighth inning.
In the meantime the local players Kept
pegging away at the ball and scoring runs
until their tally numbered q dozen. Then
they stopped. The score
