Easterns Too Much for Y. NJ. C. A,
The contest at National Park yesterday
afternoon between the teams representing
the Y. NJ. C. A. and Eastern Athletic Club
was a pitchers battle and, owing to the
superb work Of Twirler Waller, the men
from the eastern end Of town won out by
the score of to l. Walker also pitched
well for the Association lads, but his sup
port was poor, comparatively speaking, six
misplays being chalked up against them,
while but three errors were made back Of
Waller. The Association secured but one
hit during the nine innings, and 1t came
in the first inning, resulting in scoring the
only run made. Beall had secured his base
on balls, but was forced out at second by
Atchison. The latter stole second and
came home on Harding's timely single. A
row of goose eggs followed for the next
eight innings.
The Easterns chalked up their first tally
In the initial inning, drove two more over
the plate in the second and. gathered in
one more in the eighth, making the score
four to one. Hughes. McCauley and Proc
tor did the best fielding for the Easterns
and killed off several apparent safe hits,
while Nicholson. McQuade and Beall were
prominent in the fielding of the Associa-
ton team. Yesterdays game demonstrated
that the Y. NJ c. A. team Is a good collec-
ton of flelders, but weak stickers. and
with Herring absent. the best batter in
the bunch, their chances Of victory were
right in every particular. and a weaker
twirler than Walker would have fattened
up their batting averages tremendously.
