curab-Rew Games Yesterday ON Ac-
count OF the Rain.
New Haven and jersey City played again
on the Howard avenue grounds yesterday
afternoon and the visitors won their second
game from the home team, but it was not SO
much by their superior playing as it was by
their base ball luck which brought them in
winner at the finish. About 500 spectators
attended the game, and when it was over
they Joined together in the Same opinion
Mckee started the game agoing by q three
base hit, and it did really seem as though
New Haven would win, but the fates were
against them and they lost. It has baen
noticeable fact that whenever Mckee has led
of with base hit New Haven has lost, and
"Johnny" must be careful in the future and
do al, his hitting after the first inning.
Homer pitched for New Haven and his

all through the game. Horner has been
pitching good ball lately and If his average
work in the future Is as good as yesterday 3
was he will come pretty near the top of the
pitchers list when the season Is over. Fitz,
gerald pitched for the visitors and although
the home team did not hit him safely but ak
times he was by no means an enigma for
them, for the home team pounded the ball
as hard If not harder than they have at any
time before this season. No matter how
hard they hit the ball, whether it went on q
| line to either the infield or to the outfeld or
went hundred feet back of the ielders' POI
sitions there WAS always sure to be someone
either in front Of 1t or under 1t. Eleven
| flea were caught in the outfsld and 1t was
enough to discourage any team.
The only real feature of the game was 2
one-handed catch of foul fly in the second
| inning by Schoeneck. No fault can be
found with the team work with the exception
that Doyles work was not as good as 1t has
been Of late. The team tried hard to knock
| out the runs, but they were out Of Ii. Never
| theless yesterdays defeat should not dis
courage them.
The local team scored their first and only
a three base hit and scored on Lynch's mt
out to center field. In their half Jersey CITY
piled up two runs. MoGucken got to first
on balls. McDermott's grounder to Lang
forced him out at second, McDermott taking
| first on the put out. Brady hit to Doyle.
Doyle threw wild to Diokerson and the rum
ners were safe. Dooley got his base on balls,
filling the bases. Van Alstine few out tc
Mckee, McDermott scoring on the put out.
Ronssey hit safe and Brady scored.
Jersey City scored another in the sixth
Dooley hit safe, took second on Doyle's er.
