GROVE ASSOCIATION WON.
Fosters Play a Clever Game OF
Switchboard But Lose.

The James Grove Switchboard Associa-
ton, of Newark, which is considered the
best organization of its kind in the State
and which has the reputation of having
an almost invincible team of eight men,
visited the home of the Foster Shuttle
headquarters, Morton place and the
Boulevard, and the eight men teams of
each organization opposed each other in
the first game of a home and home Sc
ries. 1t was the first time these teams
have met, as the Fosters are still in
their infancy and were a little ticklish
about meeting the cracks of the State.
1t was well that they did meet the New
ark aggregation, as the game showed
them in their true strength when hard
pressed. 1t also showed the Newark con-
take a firmer hold here than it has in
Newark, and that the champions will be
of Jersey City in a short time.
h game was one of the best that has
crowd of spectators were filled with ad-
miration for the home team and con-
tinually kept or edge, as at no time did
the interest lag. The visitors won, as
was to be expected, but they got the game
of their lives and breathed easy only af-
ter the last quot was delivered.
The first three men on the Grove team,
Taylor, Ward and Garland, defeated the
first three men on the Foster side, Kirsch-
ner, Campbell and Sanders, by rs points.
Murphy and Gale defeated .Vrisdelberg
and Baxter by 80 points, so that for fine
players the Fosters had a lead of two
points. This was very close work, and
the rooters had plenty of chance. Sling
erland defeated Wauters by seven points
and the Groves then had a majority of
five points.
Henry defeated Smith by II points and
he Fosters had a margin of 6 points,
and the game depended on Foster for the
home team and Grove for the visitors.
The well known ability of the Newark
crack stood him well here and he won
by 10 points, SO that his team scored a
victory by the small margin of 4 points.

of Bumsted and Scott, in one pair, made
a very strong combination and they nave
mad marked success thus far. At present
they are IN the lead, though their margin
