Ease BalI.
The game between the home club and
the Erie, of Camden. Cd Saturday after
noon, resulted in an easy victory for
Woodstown by a SCORE of 81 to 3.
The local club plays it's first game
away from home to morrow afternoon,
when they go to Vineland and tackle the
club of that place. Quite a number
will go from here to see the game.
There will be two games of base ball
and q series of bicycle races at the Ball
Park on tie Fourth. The track has
been banked at the turns and will be in
much better condition than it was on
Decoration Day.
Harry Gleason has become quite a
f%avorite with the local patrons. This
| young man will be seen in one of the
major leagues some of these days.
Harry Taylor says he will try and give
a good account of himself in the game
at Vineland tomorrow. His pitching
arm has greatly improved since his recent
attack Of rheumatism, and we think the
Vineland club will find that they have
not struck a very soft snap.
The following is the probable makeup
- bAO LphV OioO III bhC RdLUb at me
land: Taylor, pitcher; Shincell, catcher:
Randolph, LIST base; Kelly, ID base;
Green, short stop; Gleason, 81 base;
Gates, left field; Hazleton, centre field,
and Horner, right field.
There is q marked improvement in the
playing of the Woodstown boys this
season, and they seem to be getting bet
ter with every game. They are playing
winning ball.
The Atlanta club, of Philadelphia, will
play two games here on July 5-h.
Clayton will play here on Saturday,

As a rule barking dogs never bite, but
they are a pest to wheelmen Just the

Several New Jersey newspapers speak

Turn to one side for a heavy load, even

hour gait in passing through villages
where you are unfamiliar with the ordi
nances. 1t will save you money.
