PATTERSON. s.s, NoEroLh, is.
Ragged Ball Games Interspersed with
Pugilistic Endeavors.

PATERSON, y. j.. September 11.-Spe-
cial.-If the Crew OF the Mary Jane
ever played more ragged baseball than
they put up here to-day we have failed
20 hear Of 1t. and Paterson was not tar
behind them
Newtons steadlness in the box I'm the
second game was all that saved Norfolk
from defeat.
In the first game Wentz was the Of
fender. and his errors probably lost Nor
folk the game, as Bishop pitched good
ball.
Newell was the only Patersonian able
to solve Newton TO any extent in the
second game.
The fielding OF Weddige in tho second
game was "A feature A beautiful running
catch by Heidrick in this game robbed
McFarlan OF what would surely have
been a home run. Keister and Newell
each made phenomenal stops.
Between the game Bob Fitzsimmons
punched the bag for three rounds and
then punched his sparring partner for
three more. The patrons OF base ball
here expect that Manager Mckee VIII
have a three ring circus or a dog neht
shortly TO help them enjoy the national
game.
About 300 people paid admission TO the
hippodrome.
The scores follow.
