Fifteen hundred disappointed people
left Oakland Park at noon yesterday.
The Jersey Citys were defeated by the
enemy from Newark. The game was lost
in the last inning. An unforto nate error
two men given the first base on balls and
lucky hit did it. If this city was rep re-
sented by the star players of the country
it is extremely probable that Newark
would by some misplay on scratch hit
win the series
1t was fine exhibition of ball playing.
The fielding was sharp and clean, al
though two outfelders played at short
field. The only player who made the
error column conspicuous was Fitzgerald,
who had plenty to do, however, and
pitched pretty game. Only three safe
hits were made and four reached first on
called balls.
Keay made several beautiful stops and
fielded accurately, but he is charged with
a costly error. although a moment later
he made pretty double play. The Jer-
soy Giittyys wc,sld proba ply have scored

we'll, attempted tosteal bases.

the ball to centre for two bases and scored
on wild throw. He was making for

fielded in the ball; Fitzgerald received it,
but threw the ball to third, out of Van

The Jersey Citys began to score in the
seventh inning. Van Alstine received
hard blow in the back by a pitched ball
and was given first He crossed the
plate as Dowd followed with single and
Murphy sent the bail to left for two bases,
after Dowd had been caught trying to
steal second. Fitzgerald made a sacra-
fice hit, sending Murphy to third, but the
inning ended by McGuckin putting up a
fly for Smith. The Jersey Citys passed
Newark in the eighth inning, when they
gathered three runs, Keay led off with
two bagger McDermotu and Brady

been retired on fly to short when Mace

the stick, he made three safe hits, landed
the ball in centre and sent McDermott
and Brady home. Dowd was thrown
out while stealing to third
The last and disastrous inning opened
with Jersey City in the lead. McDermott
the first Newark batsman was given first
on balls. Fields sent hot grounder TO
Keay, and had he held it a double play
would have been made He only partially
stopped the ball and the runners were
safe. Dooms was given his base on balls
The bases were all occupied and no one
out. Smith sent liner to Keay who
quickly fielded the ball to third before
McDermott could return, executing a
pretty double play, and elevating the
hopes of the Jersey City's admirers.
Childs gave Brady grounder which he
fumbled and Fields scored. Duffy then
got in fortunate safe hit to right, and
sent home Dooms and Childs with the
winning runs. Every one of the three
hits made by Newark counted, which
shows in what superior luck that team
played. The Newark's fielding was per-
feet.
