The home team suffered defeat at the
hands of the Newark team on the Howard
avenue grounds yesterday afternoon by a
score of to 2. It was model base ball day
and nearly ono Thousand enthusiasts attended
the game. They did not enthuse much, how
ever, as the visitors put up much better
game than the home team did, and seemed
to put more life into their work. Neverthe-
less 1t was an interesting game all through,
and even though the home team lost no fault
should be found with them, for the simple
reason that they cannot win every game,
though they are capable of putting more
ginger in their work and running the bases
better than they did yesterday. Let the team
60 in to-day, hustle from start to finish and
show the visitors what they are capable of
doing. .
Doran did the twirling for the home team
and did excellent work all through. He al
lowed Newark but six singles, and If the
home team had hit the ball cut when hits were
needed the score might have been different.
As it was, the visitors would not have gotten
as many hits az they did if Doran had speeded
them up all through the game instead Of
trying to work his slow ball, which did not
fool them a little bit.
baby" Miller pitched for the visitors and
was as "foxy" as ever. Though he did not
succeed in fooling the home team much, as
he did not strike any of them out, he sue
oeeded in holding them down when hits
meant runs. He was tricky as usual when
anyone was on first base, and Lynch and
Pettee will be careful how much lead they
take in the future. His work all through
was as good as Doran's, and any team IN
the association is isble to get fooled when
they run up against this clever little tWirler.
There were no features in the work OF the
home team, though Sehoeneck made brill
liant pickup in the first inning: One thing
was noticeable, however, and that was the
sacrifice hitting. Both of the home teams
runs were brought in by sacrifices of Doyle
and Pettee. 1t was indeed pretty work, but
when Doran moved both Pettee and Doyle to
second and third respectively in the fifth in
ming by q clever sacrifice, it did no good as
no one could fetch them across the plate.
Lally was terribly slow on ground balls and
in the future.
The fielding of the visitors was full of
push and energy all through the game and
was quite brilliant at times. Gilbert and
Smith carried off the fielding honors. The
former accepted all of his seven chances and
the latter took care of everything which
came his way. Fields and Smith made
pretty double in the sixth. Manager Trott
has signed Fitzgerald and Murphy, the bat
terry Of the defunct Jersey City team, and
Murphy made his debut as Newark player
in the game yesterday. He did good work
aud will no doubt prove valuable acquisi-
ton to the club. The COURIER predicted
some time ago that this team would bear
watching and if their work yesterday is any
criterion they will make the rest of the
teams hustle from now until the close of the
serson.
The home team scored their only runs in
the second inning. Schosneck led off with a
single into center, and Lally hit safe to right
field. Dooms let the ball get by him, and
both moved to second and third on the
error. Doyle and Pettee sacrificed, bringing
| them across the plate.
Newark scored one in the fourth and
another in the fifth, tying the score. In the
fourth Gilbert hit safe and went to second on
McDermott's single. He came home on
Lally's error. In the next Mansell got to
first on balls, second on Smiths sacrifice,
| third on a passed ball and scored on Miller's
single.
Newark won the game in the eighth by
scoring twice. McDermott got to first on
balls and scored when Pettee let Fields'
grounder 60 through him. Murphy got a
hit, stole second, took third on Fields put
out and scored when Doran threw low to
Lang to catch Childs.
