THE BOYS PUT UP GOOD BALL


HNfH aH MHs AaI -
Consequently Jerseyites Should Be More
Liberal with support.
No club in the country is putting up
any better game of ball than the Jersey
City Atlantic Association team, and yet
few, if any, clubs in the country are re
ceiving such wretched support from the
people of the community they represent.
OF course, the poor attendance at the
Oakland Park games is to q considerable
extent due to the lack of proper and com
Portable facilities for enabling lovers OF
baseball to reach the grounds.
This fact does not alter, however, the
truth that Manager Powersand the boys
certainly merit more patronage than their
fellow Jerseyites accord them. They play
ball to win every time whether they are
fortunate enough to do so or not. Yes
terday's game with the Lowell team is an
instance of this fact.
Towards the end of the last inning for
the local club, when two men were out
and the spectators had abandoned all
hope of even having the score tied, q
friend of little "Chick" Hofford saluted
him thus
well, Chick we're done for this
time.n
II guess not" responded Chick" in a
clipper voice and with a cheerful smile,
you just watt i.
The friend did not wait, but if he had
so done he would have seen the score tied
and the game won by the boys, with more
than enough runs to spare.
This afternoon the boys will meet at
Oakland Park, the strong American AS
ISOLATION team from Kansas City, Il 1t is
presumed that there will be a fair crowd
of spectators present.
On Sunday afternoon when the boys
will encounter their old time antagonists
from Newark in q game to augment the
relief fund for the flood sufferers, the
grand stand should be thronged and
every other foot Of other available space
in the park should be occupied by charita-
BILE and non-sanctimonious Jerseymen.
Atlantic Association Matters.
Manager Putnam, of the Easton Club,
and his boys have generous impulses
which are worthy of much applause.
When they heard that Manager Powers
and his J~erseyites wished to arrange a
game for the benefit of the flood sufferers
they Immediately volunteered their serv
ices and agreed to pay their W expenses
for the trip from Easton to this city and
return.
The action of the Atlantic Association
directors in throwing out the protested
Jersey City-Hartford game gives Jersey
another boost, but then it was all right

Chris Meisel, who managed the Newark
Club last year was one of the unfortunate
victims drowned in the Johnstown flood.
