IA to IL. The contest was close and ex
citing and the followers of each club did
their share of roofing. Pnifer and
Yourinsou were the pitchers, and their
deliveries were batted rather freely. 1t
was not Phifer's fault that the game was
lost, for had be received better support
the result would have been different. At
one time the home players were throwing
the ball all around the lot. Boogar, of
Salem, played short for Woodstown, and
his fielding was ragged. Nicholas and
Logan, tf Avondale, also played with
home club, the former putting up a good
game behind the bat. Gates and Green
made several good catches. The visitors
played a lively game, Yourinson, Horner,
and Jack and Kit Bachman doing the
best work.

What would the score have been had

There is some talk of arranging a
series of five games with the Swedesboro
club.
A picked nine defeated the Pennsgrove
boys in a game here last Saturday by a
score of 10 to 8.
Jack Green is getting to be quite a
base stealer. He stole four on Saturday
and two on Wednesday.
Well, if we can't beat Swedesboro, we
can trouuce Woodbury., AlIoway, Penns-

The home club had Nicholas and Logan
of the Avondale club and Boogar of
Salem, and yet lost the game.

Some of the patrons claim that the

seem to think John is a Jonah.
1t seems strange that a person will get

be guilty of words and action of which
they are, no doubt, ashamed afterwards.

The Salem club won two out of three
games from Atlantic City club on the
latter's grounds this week. Ely pitched
both winning games for the South Jersey
League champions.
Several more runs would have been
scored by the home club if the runners
had slid to the home plate, as some of
the throws were high and Bachman
couldn't have touched the runners if they
had resorted to sliding.
Randolph was caught by an old trick
on Wednesday. He had reached third,
and Kit Bachman threw the ball down
to Jack Bachman on second. Randolph
started to come home when Jack returned
the ball to Kit, catching the runner
easily.
