AFTERNOON GAME,

Days mastery pitching won Brown
son the afternoon game by the score Of
7 to 2. Excellent curves, all kinds of
speed and good control kept the visitors
guessing from start to finish. But two
of Calnden's players succeeded in get
ting safe hit. Black made single
in the second and Hewitt got a home
run in the third. After the third inning
not hit was made off Days delivery.
BILLY had six strikeouts to bis credit
and iiclded his position WELL accepting
five chances without an error.
Sheridan also pitched good game,
but was given poor support in several
innings. Toner'S catch Of fly in deep
short after long run was one of the
features of the game. Day with the ex-
ception of two errors by j. Connors was
given gilt edge support. Lange was be-
hind the bat and caught good game.
Camden's only two runs were scored
in the third inning after a chasse was
missed to retire the side. Sheridan. the
first man up was an easy out. Bush
worth knocked hot groundcr to Walker
and was safe on Connors tumble Of
Walkers throw. Mckinley flied out to
Iierney. But for Connors' error this
would have made the third out. Hewitt
the next man, hit a lghg one over tlle
right field fence, sending Bushworth over
the plate ahead of him. This. however
ended the visitors run getting. Mahar
took Walkers place at short in the fourth
inning. The score follows:

YESTERDAY was one of the quietest
Fourths Of July ever witnessed in this
city. There was less shooting Of pis-
lois, cannons and large shooting
crackers and less fireworks than
on rrevions years. The rain which
came down about o'clock, spoiled
the display Of fireworks, and several
thousand persons who had assembled
at Fourth and Rodney Streets to wit
ness the display of fire works by the
Broome Street Heights Association,
we're disappointed and the display
which had to be postponed until this
evening.
The exercises opened with an over.
ture by the Philharmonic Band. after
which chorus sang "The Star Spang.
led Banner" while hundreds in the
large crowd joined in the singin4
Mr.. Henry c. Conrad read the Declar-
alton of Independence thereby giving
the celebration an old timed effect.
The speakers Of the evening, were
the silver tongued orator, District
Attorney William Michael Byrne and
Horace Greeley Knowles. The crowd
was a good natured one and we're
greatly disappointed in not being able
to witness the fireworks display,
which was unavoidable but can be
seen this evening, weather permit
ing.

Brownson Won both games from the
Camden, N. j., team on the local grounds
yesterday. Both games, however, were
interesting and We're witnessed by large
attendances.
MORNING GAME.
The Camden team was easy picking
for Brownson in YESTERDAY mornine's
game, the local team winning by score
OF II to 3. Gibson who was In the box
for the team from Jersey, was unable to
locate the plate, and was largely respon.
sible for bis teams defeat. He had good
curves and plenty Of speed but was lack.
Ing in steadiness. His record was zine
bases besides hitting batsman. Such
wildness had = tendency 10 make the
game uninteresting. Gibson was given
fairly good support, which cut off runs
for Brownson on several OCCASIONS,
Walker pitched bis usual steady game
and was also given good support. BY
punching their hits in the first two in
nings, the visitors scored four runs all
OF which were earned. After that Walker
settled down and held them down to
three hits the remainder Of the game.
Umpire Malunsy was away off on his
decisions on both sides. He gave both
pitchers some hard deals on balls and
strikes and also called several balls fouls
that struck at least two feet inside the
foul line.
Brownson started scoring iu the first
inning. Singles by Schultz, Large, Fl.
Connor and j. Connor and Tierney's
home run earned them five runs. Tier.
ney's home run was the feature OF the
game. 1t was hard hit line ball and
bounded over the left field fence. In ad-
dition to bis home run Tierney got two
singles and a base on balls. Mckinley
lead the hitting for the visitors with 4
three bagger and two singles Large,
Brownsohs new first baseman, made
good impressions He accepted Ia chances
without an error. The score follows:
