WON BY HARD HITTING.
Jersey City Defeated Hart
ford and
Baseball.

The Jersey Citys put up a spirited game
yesterday afternoon and did great execu-
tion with the bat. They easily vanquished
the Hartfords.
Dooley, the new first baseman, distin-
guished himself in fielding and he banged
the bail hard and often. Roussey. Keay,
Burdock, Sheehan and Reidy used the
stick with good effect and convinced the
spectators that the local team is composed
Of strong batsmen.
Tho team work was fine and the men
showed greater activity in running bases.
The fact tha they have nine stolen bases
to their credit tells how well they ran
and what admirable Judgment was exer-
clsed.
The Connecticut boys tried hard to win.
They have u good nine, with such trimmed
veterans as Sutton, Say, Lynch, Annis
and Foster.
They played well, but the hard hitting
of the Jersey Boys was too strong for the
visitors.
The ground was in poor condition, and
the errors were excusabie. Several bril-
Liant catches were made, and McGucken
distinguished himself by taking a foul fly
in for left Held.
