SCORE BY INNINGS.

The Colts defeated the New Jerseys
very handily for the second time Wednes-
day in a well played game. Bouker
twirled for the yictors while Brady filed
a similar position for the New Jerseys.
The ~trotters were in their glory. as every
opportunity was given them TO get
hoarse. Bouke lost no time in getting
in his good work. He started with the
first New Jersey that held the stick. and
did not cease retiring them on three
strikes until the fourth inning. when two
runs were scored to the iatter's credit on
account of errors in the fielding of the
Colts. Brady was hit almost at will, but
errors were carefully avoided. except at
times when they did the most harm.

A game that Will no doubt prove very
interesting will be played on the Orange
oval, tomorrow, when the Orange Ath-
letic Club will meet the Staten Island
C. and B. b. C. in the second game of
a series. The Islanders, it will be re-
membered, gave Orange their first de-
feat of the season in the first game OF
the series, and it can be imagined that
the Orange players did not relish the
.sdish of crow the Staten Islands fed
them to, and as they wish to atone for
the defeat they received the patrons of
this game may rest assured that they
will witness a game for blood The Or
ange management will place .Voris on
the slab" in this game, and he will be
supported by the regular team, who all
wish to get a -'.crack' at their rivals.
The ball tossers from Commodore Van
derbilt's birthplace have prepared them
selves for the trouncing the Orange play
ers expect to give them, and will have
either Dissosway or Hart, two very clever
twirlers, in the points, and they have
also greatly strengthened the team for
the fray. The game will start promptly
at A P. M. Bicycles, as usual, will be
checked free under the covered stand
back of the bleachers.

did this once too often, though, and in
the ninth inning the Janderns started to

Ladies' Day at N. J.. A. G.
Yesterday was the regular ladies day
at the New Jersey Athletic Clubs ground,
Bayonne, and the fair friends of the well
known organization attended in goodly
numbers and the programme offered was
first-class. The arrangements were in
charge of Charles A. Sulzer, captain of
the athletic team, and with a few excep-
lions the entire team were on hand to
contest the various events. All were
well filled and the finishes in most of
them were close enough to satisfy the
most exacting. The idea of ladies' day at
he club is by no means a new one, but
the question that has puzzled its
~originators was what would be a hitting
entertainment. Then it was decided to
~arrangeAa series of members games to be
held on ladies, day. This idea served two
purposes. 1t offer the necessary entertain
ment and also kept the athletes in train
ing. The latter was most necessary as
the club has a large number of promis-
ing young athletes among it's members,
and steady work is necessary to their
proper development. Then again the
National A. A. U. championships are to
be decided on the 2Sth of this month, and
Marvel, Sulzer, Christensen and Eaton,
who will in all probabilities be entered in
the championships need training and the
best of training is secured in competition.
The results of yesterdays events are
One mile run, handicap-Won by T. N.
