DERBY DEFEATS LOCKWOOD
Il FINE CAME YESTERDAY ENDS
 WITH SCORE OF Q.

Weather.
 Derby defeated the Edgewoods yes- terday by the score of 4 to 0.
 With a. cool day and clearing sky a pretty good crowd was induced to go out to Elm City park. The lim- bering-up before play began was | watched with much interest by the Westville baseball critics on the bleach CTS, and they sized up the Derby team as 8 nine that would give Manager ! Griest's boys good, big armful. For the Edgewoods Steven Hinman pitched a good, steady game, and only | four or five safe hits were made off his delivery. He showed up much strong l CT than at the game with the Winches- ters last Friday, and with more eXper- fence will develop into a reliable and valuable man In the box. His delivery is good and he Is getting better control of the ball. Manager Griest and Cap tain Hamlin are both pleased with Hin mans work and will put him in again next Friday at Middletown.
 l For Derby Shea did we'll, but he is | SLOW anu OLlGI luloWS IloNliliio bAs straight balls That, however, did much to keep down the number of hits off his delivery, as the EdgeWoods found it no easy thing to make any | long drives at any point of the game. But Shea is really a baseman, not a pitcher, and probably does not consid- CT himself one. Catcher Brennan did 1 the best work, all things considered, l for Derby.
 1 The game opened with big Ben Farm ham at the bat. Though he found the ball Johnston stopped it and Ben turned back. Hinman got Clabby' s crack and beat him in a race to first. Lawler did not find safe hit either,
 Atkin fielding clean and assisting Beecher at first. Cameron's fly was taken by Lyons; Johnston fouled to Catcher Brennan, and Atkins hot grounder to 0dell was fumbled, but
 recovered in time to retire the side.
 In the second Inning Hendrick walk
 ed to first and Odell was out on high
 bounding bunt to FIinman, Lyons fell
 a victim to the pitcher in spite of the
 efforts of two coachers to rattle him
 Shea put the leather within Cameron
 reach and Hendrlck came in. Bren-
 nan gave Hamlin a line fly to center
 and Odell was already on the home stretch, but Doe sent that ball home
 in capital fashion, swift and straight
 and the runner was out. HendricR
 gave Robertson another chance to get g
 high foul such as he most always gath
 CTS in.
 For Edgewood Hanllin got in a bun' j safely, but in trying for second or
 Beecher's liner to center, ran over the
 bag and was out. Greist and Robert
 son turned back at Hendricks bag Score, 1 to 0.
 Farnham could not find Hinman, bu
 Clabby's grounder went straight up tht
 base line and struck the bag. Johnston got it and tossed it to Beecher in quicl time But the first of Atkins beauti
 ful catches came on Lawler's fly bacl
 of second. Nobody was there, so Tom
 my sprinted, and turning, caught tht
 ball sideways. He fell to the ground
 but held the ball aloft. Derby player:
 were the first to applaud the stunt Einman got to first on Shea's lack O
 control, but nobody else got there, no
 helped him home.
 In the fourth inning HendHck got hi on the arm, and Odell sent prett. ,, lively bounder to Cameron, who let 1
 go to Greist Hendrick came in ol , Lyons sacrifice to Johnston. The lat , ter slipped and fell, but turned arount , and threw lying on his back Ther I seemed to be a shoe plate loose or gon \ on his shoes for repea tedly he stumblet
 and lost balls that he should have had f His sore arm bothered him in throw
 ing, too. Sheas sacrifice fly to Cries let Odell score and Brennan sent
 pop-up to Atkin.
 When the Edgewoods were in ther - was a lively scrap with the umpire Il Q which the bleachers took a hand. Ham lin got a tiny bunt and on a wild throy N to first reached third He looked amaz l ed when Bronson called him out be :, cause he stepped across the plate t Il meet the ball. Derby claimed he wa , out because the ball struck him i e bounding. Doc" said both allegation were wrong, but set a good example b Il quietly submitting.
 h In the fifth inning Derby got noth
 ing. Farnham tried to bluff the un a pire that Hinman had baked so tha e he could take third. Steven knew hi Q business and sent Cameron the bal , and Ben was out, for Bronson woul
 not allow the claim. Edgewood wen d out In a whitewash. The fourth an ' two following innings were scarcel ' three minutes long on side and tn - whole game was very short.
 t In the sixth Lawler and Hendrick SC 5 only half way to first, but Odell got i t safe hit, Greist's error letting hir s as far as second It amounted to moth 6 ing for Lyons struck out In this ir :. ming Cottrell took Brennan's place !, right field. At her inning now Edge ', a wood came near scoring, but the e, f pected did not come to pass.
 The seventh brought nothing to tn y visitors, but when the home team wa
 in there was some good playin,
 Beecher got a walk to first Greist ser
 a fly to Lyons, who dropped 1t, an
 Percy got to first Young Westvil
 and in fact the whole crowd, was no
 ,how1tng and jumping. Indeed, with nc T body out and two on bases it locke u like a sure thing, but Robertson, wf r was very anxious to get a safe hi
 tried too hard and drew 8 foul fc l. Hendrick to take in. Hinman followet l. getting only breezes, and Cottrell lkt $. wise. That was pretty discouragi
 for Edgewood. but they fought hard a
 the rest of the game, nevertheless.
