GREAT BATTING.

For real old-fashioned batting,
where every one hits the ball and has
a good time, no game in Morristown
this year could approach the one
played on the Hospital grounds We'd
nesday, between the Murray Hills of
New York and the Medicos.
The Medicos had their strongest
team in the field. Faulkner, Gillern
and McAndrews were playing, but it
is said that they are not now connect
ed with the Hospital. They were
allowed to play because they wanted
the practice.
The battery for the home team was
changed several times, but it did not
seem to do any good. Short and
Kellett were in first Short was pound
ed to beat the band. Following him
came Wengenroth. The visitors dill
lay it on to him numerically. Then
in the sixth inning Faulkner and
Gillern were sent in for the battery.
They were as bad as their predecessors.
The Murray Hill boys could bat some
that was the sum and substance of
it. They could hit anything that
came over the plate, and only two
men struck out. This is quite phen-
omenal when it is considered that
Faulkner usually sends seven or ten to
the bench without letting them feel
of tho hoII auou
At the end of the ninth inning the
game was 16--l4 in favor of the Medi-
COS. But only for the error of the left
fielder the Murray Hill team would
have won.
Umpire Nolan is usually prett
good but he does make some rank de-
cisions. He should keep his eyes open
at the end of the game and see some
thing. OF course he cannot change his
decision if he does not see play, but
he is there for the purpose of seeing.
and he ought to know it.
This is the last game on the Hospi-
tai grounds this year. At least it is
the last one scheduled, and it is quite
likely that no more games will be
played there this season.

KNIcKERBocKERs WIN.

The Knickerbocker- -Denville game
Saturday bid fair to be good and
surely would have been had it not
been for the rain. AS it was the game
went seven innings, the last three in
the rain, and the score at the finish
was 3-2 in favor of the Knicker-
bockers. If the game had been on
good diamond there is no doubt but
that the Denvilles would have been
shut out for they certainly didn t put
up as good an article of ball as had
been expected of them.
The Denville pitcher, Ginger"
McGrath, thinks he is it. He imagines
he is the only man in the game, and
plays and acts accordingly. He would
not stoop TO pick up ball if it rolled
slowly past him. That would be be-
meath his dignity as pitcher. The
short stop or second baseman must
run from behind and hama the ball to
him. He would not move five feet to
pick up ball. and that is the matter
with him. But as the Denvilles can
not get another they have to make the
best of him.
There was no brilliant playing in
the game. In the first three innings
the Kniokerbockers made three good
ones and the Denvllles one. That was
16,ontj0,,ed on EioJfh Paoel

Great Fishing and Hunting at
This Popular Point,
Drum Are Caught by the Barrel and
Other Sea Fish in Proportion
Shooting Good and Growing Bet
ter Every Day.

An old newspaper friend. who evil
IDENTIFY has good luck right along at
Barnegat, sends the following to the
Chronicle. Inasmuch as our CORES
pondent never draws the long bow, if
any of our readers are just aching for
fine sport, we suggest the water and
ground covered by "W H. F."
Dear Chronicle
Barnegat City, N. j., August S2.--
To land a fifty pound black drum is
luck that is not given to every man
who fishes along the Jersey coast-no,
not in a lifetime. But party who
were out in the inlet recently with Cap
tain Hen Brown, in his yacht Olive,
consisting of DR.. Wallhauser, of
Newark, and some friends, had the
luck to land not only one, but two
drum, that would weigh over fifty
pounds each besides two more of per-
haps one-half that weight. The party
we're out after blueish, and after
catching a few, anchored and began
cumming" for sea bass, when the
school of drum came along.
One can get almost any kind of fish
here now. Some anglers come to fish
for channel bass, some for striped
bass, some for barb or kingfish, some
for blueish, some for sheapsheads, and
some for wealzfish, while others pre-
fer the porgies, croakers, seabass and
outside fish. All have been fairly
successful; indeed there has been
almost no limit to the fish caught
John Adams, an off-shore bank fisher
man, caught eighteen hundred pounds
of sea bass with hook and line in four
and half hours. one day recently,
and the visiting sportsmen frequently
go off to the banks with these hand
liners.
The blues have been biting for a
week or more. There were catches of
fifty or more to boat a few days ago,
and more lately the catches have been
smaller, but nearly everybody has
caught some. O. Mackie and Mr..
Francis, of Philadelphia, made a
catch of forty-fve on Friday, while
out with Captain Joel Ridgway the
veteran Life-Saving Station Keeper.
Captain A. Sprague took out E. G..
Chandlee, Of Philadelphia, on Satur-
day, and they made a dead set for
kingfsh. AS result, their catch was
forty eight big kingish, or barb.
Many anglers consider this one of
the gamiest of our saltwater fish
Another successful angler for barb
has been ex-senator John Taylor, of
Trenton, who made some nice catches.
Sheapshead are running well in num-
bers and heavy in weight, though not
every man who starts out after them
comes in with boat load. The
sheapshead angler is satisfied with a
single strike-if he can get no more.
w. H. Skirm, of Trenton, and G. w.
Savage, Of New York, have made some
fine sheapshead catches, some of their
fish running from eight to ten pounds.
Snipe shooting grows better as the
days grow shorter. Sea Dog Shoal is
now the favorite cunning point, and

BALL AND RACQUET.
Great Playing at Enthusiastic
Englishmen Lose Money.

Englishmen Lose Money
American lawn tennis players scored
another big international triumph at
Newport, R. l., Saturday, in the
the championship matches. George
Wrenn, one of the American experts,
beat A. W. Gore, the crack player of
the British team, and his downfall
removes the last danger of the Ameri-
can championship going abroad this
season, as both of the British experts
have now been beaten. Gore did not
take his defeat gracefully. He felt
confident of winning, even after he
had lost the first set, and complained
after the match of constant delays
that he thought Wrenn caused by
walking deliberately instead of hurry
ing between points, that the courts
were not hard enough, the balls too
hard, and the heat too great The
betting was 10 to on Gore before the
match started, but those who wanted
to back the Britisher had no difficulty
in. finding the opportunity to do so,
for there were many enthusiastic
Americans who believed before the
match that Wrenn could beat him.
In the first set the games alternated,
first one leading and then the other.
When the fourth set began the Wrenn
brothers had fixed up new method of
attack, and the American player be-
gan to force the Britisher's back
hand with such success that he got
many easy chances to kill ball at net
with a quick volley. Gore seemed
unable to lob and drive Wrenn back
from the net position, and he was
beaten as result of it. The American
took the fourth set by 60, leading
from the start, and in the fifth he
treated the visitor to the same medi-
cine, allowing him only two games.
LARNED BEATS wRENN.
W. A. Larned, of Summit, and G.
L. Wrenn, Jr., played Monday at
Newport, r. l., for the honor of
challenging Whitman for the tennis
championship of the country.
The weather was perfect, clear and
just warm enough to keep the players
up to their work without being so
hot as to affect the game. Larned was
strong favorite, and won in easy
manner in three straights, 6-3, 60,
60. Wrenn had a large following,
due to his great rally and fine playing
against Gore Saturday.
WHITMAN THE CHAMPION.
The lawn tennis championship of
the United States remains for another
year with Malcolm d. Whitman, for
he defeated his challenger, William A.
Larned, at the Casino, Newport, RI.
Tuesday morning, in brilliant
match of four sets. The score was
Cd, 1-6, 60, 60. Larned played
his usual brilliant game, and at no
time in the match did he lose his
nerve, although in the third set his
play weakened materially for several
games. Whitman's wonderful COM
mand of the ball was invincible, and,
no matter what method of attack
Larned tried, he found the champion
always ready to shut it off and turn
the tables against him.
