on the North Woodbury. grounds on Sat
urday afternoon, when the locals defeated
the Camden City by the score of o6.
This is the same team that played las
Saturday, but the game resulting SO un
satisfactorily to both clubs, another meeting
was arranged The Camden City's came
down ready for business, but they fount
the locals in excellent trim and ready t
take care of themselves.
Up to the fifth inning it was a battl,
between the twirlers, no one seeming tx
connect with the ball in a satisfactory
manner.
In the fifth inning the locals came to thu
bat with grim determination to start the
ball rolling. Powell and Tyler succeeded
in crossing the plate for run apiece. This
however ended the run getting for thai
inning.
In the seventh Powell, Sagirs, Tyler and
Dehner succeeding in scoring, when the side
was again put out.
With the score to 0, the visitors came
to the bat in the eighth inning and sue
ceeded in finding the ball long enough tc
roll up three runs before they were retired
In the ninth the locals were retired il
order.
The visitors coming to bat soon showed
that they had not altogether lost their nerve
and for a few moments had the locals
guessing, but the boys soon returned from
their flight in the air, and succeeded il
putting the side out, not however, before
the score had beed tied.
The home team came to bat in the tenth
inning but could not find the ball, being
put out one, two, three, by the visitors,
who were likewise served in their half Of
the inning.
In the eleventh inning Dehner drew his
base by being hit by a pitched ball. While
the catcher was arguing about decision OF
the umpire he started for second. In at
tempting to put him out the ball was
thrown far over the baseman's head to
centre field. Dehner then started for third,
the ball again being thrown beyond the
baseman's reach, enabling him to score the
winning run, amid the widest excitement.
One feature of the game was the absence
of that kicking usually seen between teams
so evenly matched.
1t is probable that another game will be
arranged between the two clubs.
1t is expected that the Glenwood team
will cross bats with North Woodbury. the
coming Saturday.

The game between our home team and
the Gloucesters was played on Saturday
and resulted in favor of the visitors. A
very large contingent accompanied the
visitors and Immediately took possession of
the grounds, and held them during the
game. Big boys and little boys, orderly
boys and disorderly boys had full sway a1d
guyed our chaps most numerically. They
came determined to win, and did win, and
our team was entirely shut out. The best
of feeling prevailed between the players,
either side. The Gloucesters had been so
badly defeated the Saturday previous Is
to 3 that they strengthened their team at
all its weak points. Score:
Gloucester 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 %
Westville % 0 0 0 0 0 0 90
After the game, when the visitors were
about to depart there was general hand
shaking all around, and arrangements will
be made for the deciding game in the near
future.
Political.
A new source of political anxiety has
arisen, sphynx-like, out of the ranks OF the
G. o. P. Somehow the report has got out
that Steward G. G. Weatherby, of the Aims
House and Asylum, will tender his resigna-
tion to the Board of Chosen Freeholders
next month, and Immediately the Steward
ship bee went to buzzing in the bonnets OF
Chosen Freebooter Nichol, Of Harrison.
and Chosen Freebooter Will. II. Hoffman,
Of East Greenwich. These bees have buzzed
with honeyed murmur until Monday
last, the especial occasion being the meeting
of the Board on that day, when one of
them assumed an angry, defiant tone, and
directed its stinger in threatening way at
one of the kings of the G. o. P. hive, and
was promptly and emphatically informed
that he had sinned away his opportunity.
That SO far as he was concerned his name
was Dennis, and instead of being Steward
ship bee, his was now Mud bee. 1t was
even limited that he was too long and thin,
and didn't produce enough honey to aspire
to so important rank in the G. 0. P.
hive, and that even his present distinction
was not warranted by what he had &C
or was likely to accomplish.
The bee of the hive Of Harrison responded
in kind, and the open air contact between
the king bee and the buzzer from Harrison
terminated. The next move in the alleged
matter will be fully as in
