The Greenvllle Field Club visited the

their defeat, but the home team finished
the game with a well grounded belief
that they had been playing ball. The
game was a corking one from the start.
The fielding on both sides was excellent,
with the exception of one play. That
was an error made by Coreoran on third.
He stood still with the ban. undecided
where to put 1t when the game got warm
and the playing fast. This was in the
last inning when the score was a tie with
IL. Corcoran's error gave the Elizabeths
the winning run and they left the field
happy and filed with profound respect for
the ability of the Greenvilie contingent on
a diamond. Dunn pitched a good game,
giving the Elizabeth batters. who have
made, al reputation, but four hits. He was
well supported in the field and his team
would have won did field play count.
When they went to the bat they were up,
against it in Glenzeck. He, pitches with
a good strong arm and Barroll did noth-

two worked together like so much ma

praise. Glenzeck gave the Greenviile boys
two hits which did not count. Marcus

An Impatient Boy Jumps Off
Moving Car and Is
Badly Injured.


Matthew Crane, a ten year old boy. Of
No. IS Walker avenue, fell from a Green-
vile trolley car last evening and up to
midnight was unconscious.
The car from which the boy fen was
running along at a fair rate of speed on
Ocean avenue. and when it neared Walker
avenue Crane sigrailed the conductor TO
stop. Joseph Salinger, the conductor.
pulled the bell, and as the car was slow
ing up young Crane got out on the rum
board preparing to jump off. His hand
slipped from the brass railing and he fell
heavily to the pavement. The lad struck
on his right side and laid unconscious.
The conductor and motorrnan placed
him on one of the seats and took him
to the ocean avenue station house about
a mile distant. Patrolman Clemenson
carried the injured boy from the Gar and
laid him on a sofa in the ~Sergeantas
room. Dr.. S. HOLSTER examined the
boy, but said that no bones We're broken
and thai he was only suffering from the
shock. The boys parents heard of the ac-
cident. and in a very short space of time
the station house was full of relations
and friends inquiring about the lad. Mrs
Crane felt very badly over the accident,
and her sobs were heartbreaking. n

home in the patrol wagon. Those who
saw the boy fail say that 1t was his fault
as he got on the runboard while the car
was still running very fast.

The result is hat the earth has sum
