The Country Club had an easy time with
the Phila. A. G. last Saturday when they
defeated them by score of IL o2. The
visitors were clearly out-classed and were
never near enough to maze the game in
teresting. The Woodbury. team scored
twelve runs in the first four innings and
then they eased up and did not score any
more during the rest of the game.
McFstridge pitched for three innings
and went out of the box for three innings
and Cunningham took his place. During
the last three innings McFetridge simply
toyed with the visitors and tossed them
over the plate which account for their
eight hits.
Bander and Kelly were easy marks when
they got the ball over the plate, but that
was so seldom that Woodbury. is only
credited with seven base hits.
