Cricket Grounds, Hoboken. The eleven
from the southern section of the county
went down with crash before the fierce
team that was gotten together at Short

game because of injuries sustained in Sum
days game with the Jaretos team of
Weehawken. The most surprising fea-
ture Of The day was the temperance of
Leo Sullivan in the game. 1t was thought

broken, and at the time he found graat
diaieuity in getting about. but he rounded
into form quickly and was star among
