The Newark base ball club defeated
the Wilmington club yesterday by a
score OF 13 to 10 IL took ten innings to
do It and even then the visitors had no
special license to win out.
As matter OF fact it should have
been Wilmlngton's game. One reason
for It's not being was stupid base run
ming on the part OF the local players.
WILMINGTON had seventeen bits against
fifteen for the visitors and had only fv Q
errors against their nine. But they
couldn't win.
Mr. Dong put his new pitcher, Fowler,
who was occurred from the New Hamp-
shire State League. into the box for nine
innings Of yesterdays game. Fowler did
did not put up any remarkable exhibition
of ball playing, but he seemed TO make a
favorable impression on the fans
Jerry Sullivan gave smother exhibition
OF very yellow umpiring and IL WAS
very good thing for the Atlantic League
when IL decided TO drop him from it's
staff or course TO a Wilmington parti
san, the home team seemed 10 be getting
all the worst OF Sullivkn's ur iust and
arbitrary rulings. In truth Burns ag-
gregation suffered as much as Mr.. Longs
players.
At one time when Wise had been put
out at hrst, there WAS no one on bases
aud he stopped to talk for minute With
Mcintyre who was on the coach line for
the Wilmington club This action cam q
under the eagle eve OF Mr.. Sullivan and
he ordered Wise of the line and stopped
the game until he moved
This brought out an Indignant prot est
from Burns, who stated that be had not
objected TO Wise stopping and until he
did Sullivan had no authority to remove
him. But Jerry thought otherwise and
threatened to put Burns out Of the game
Besides, Jerry had poor eye for balls
and strikes, aud was very apt to call one
for the other as frequently as he did COR
rectly.
But altogether, the game yesterday
was an interesting contest. The fact
that the first game between the two
clubs was tie, the second won by WI
mingtOn and the third contested. led to
unusual interest 10 the exhibition.
Both teams led of By making Eve runs
In the hrst inning IL was a tie then
until the fourth when Newark scored
four and Wilmington two
Neither side scored 10 the 9th. and
Wilmington made one In the sixth while
the visitors we're blanked. This gave
the home team q lead OF one run la the
seventh Newark made run and Will
mington was shut out again tying the
scores
Two runs by Newark In the eighth
and one run each In the eighth and
ninth by Wilmington tied the score
again aud made an extra innIng neces
sary. Then Newark made the winning
run, the home club having failed to
score In It's half
The work OF Whltehill, Newarks
pitcher, is especially commeh dable. BE
had alreadv pitched In two previous
games in thls series. yet he made a show
ing yesterday that was excellent Though
seventeen hits we're made of him. he
struck out six men and gave but two
bases on balls. Fowler struck ont one
man. gave three bases on balls and was
hit fifteen times
Newarks error column shows that
there WAS very loose fielding on the Dart
OF It's players, nine errors being marked
agaist them. This makes 1t all the
harder to explain Wilmiugton's losing.
A peculiar and interesting play IN the |
ninth inning was this. Wise got a hit |
and Berryhill ran for him. Amole also |
made hit and Berryhll went TO second |
Gallagher. the next batter, made a slow |
hit TO second. While he was running TO |
first Bsrryhill started TO third and Amols /
TO second. They both started 20 ruu /
back TO the bases they previously held /
however Meanwhile Gallagher had |
gained hrst. and Amoie was being worked /
up between first and second He finally /
came to first also. both he and Gallagher |
occupying the base at the same time /
Gallagher was then declared out. Berry |
hill afterwards scored.
WILMINGTON made three hits and /
scored five runs In the hrst inning |
Newark also bad three hits aud scored |
the same number OF runs, but had the |
additional advantage OF having two men /
sent to base on balls.
10 the second, four men on each side /
batted, but neither scored aud In the
third both went out In one, two, three |
order. In the fourth, on a base of balls |
to Fowler the same TO Gallagher. A
double by Newell and a single by Drew.
two runs we're scored Newark had two /
three base hits Ia their half OF the fourth |
and scored four runs, two singles being
also made
10 Is unnecessary to give more ex.
tended analysis Of the game.
This was the score:
WILMINGTON.
