THE JERSEY BLUES eHIeAGoED.

The Newark and Jersey City Clubs a
another championship battle royal yester-
day afternoon, and the Newark Club
again won bya single run. This time it
took twelve innings to reach a result, SO
hotly contested was the encounter, and
even her the victors did not score the
winning run until after two men were
out. The conflict occurred on the Newark
Clubs new Sunday grounds at South
Orange, and it was seen by nearly 5000
spectators.
That both teams playediball for keeps is
evident from the result. The club from
this city battled also in an effort
to tie the record of the sea-
sons struggles with their great rivals,
but chance willed otherwise, and the Lit
tie Giants left the field with the record
standing at six victories in their favor to
fourfor the Gladiators. CaptainJ Zoe Ger
hartlt was once more with Manager Pow
ers' Pets, and Landmann again opposed
Dooms in the box.
L.andmann pitched q splendid game,
although the local team hit the ball more
freely and with better effect for run
gettingthan,they did in the two games he
recently twirled against them. From his
delivery they battedf three ~two-baggers,
nine singles and seventeen long flies,
while he only gave one man first base on
balls. Considering the fact that Dooms
had pitcled six consecutive games and
then taken butone'of day he twirled the
bail in n remarkably effective manner.
The Pets got from him FIVE singles, two
t~wo-baggers and seven long flies.
Until the third inning neither team tai
lied. Then the local ball tosserS sent one
of their men around the circuit The Jer
seyites drew a cipher in their half. In
their fourth trial Trott's team trebled
their tally. Again the Pets scored d goose
egg. The Newarkers: were. shut out in
their fifth chance, while the .TeIseyites
contrived to break the ice. Only n man
got across the plate, however. Encour-
aged by dosing their opponents with
another goose egg the Pets madeaairally
in their sixth sally and tied the score.
From this time on the contest was SUI
perbly, fought. neither side being able to
tally for inning after inning. CIock-Gke
fielding work. snap plays and clever
catches marked the playing OF both teams.
As inning after inning passed in this man
ner, the strain under which the eighteen
ball tossing athletes were compelled to
work began to show upon their faces and
in their actions, While the intense excite
ment under which the audience labored
was manifested in the alternate almost
breathless suspense and the sudden out
bursts of applause.
When the Pets finished their twelfth
inning and went out in the field Leo
Smith, the Newark's clever shortstop,
grabbed a bat,and stepped to the plate.
'sStart it off with a safe hit, Leo"
Yelled a contingent of the crowd. Leo
did as he was bid and. sent the sphere to
left centre for two bags. Duffy's sacrifice
advanced him to third. Coogan followed
with a long fly, which Hiland got after a
long run, and Smith crossed the plate
with the winning run amid the plaudits
of the spectators. The score
