Have Played Each other.
In a clean, fast, and well-played
came Yesterday the Y. M. c. A. ball
team defeated that of the Chatham
Artillery by a score of to 4. The
friends of both teams were out in
force and neither side could complain
of the want of rooters.
The Chathams had strengthened
their team with four of the c. l.. AS
star players, Schley, Mcintyre, Wig
gins and Charlton, and they all play
cd good ball and played it all the time,
hut even with these additions the Chat
hams couldn't stem the tide of victory
that the Y. M. c. A. has been favored
with since the beginning of the season.
In the first and second innings Meth
or side scored, but with the beginning
of the third the Y. M. c. A. started
the business. Sullivan was safe at first
on a slow throw by Daniels; Elton
went out on a bounder from short to
first, and Hobby was out on fly to
right; Sullivan had worked his way to
third on these outs and so when Har-
mon put a safe one to right,
he scored. Powell retired the
side with an out from short to first. For
the other side Kayton struck out, Car
many was out, third to first, and Pelzer
struck out.

either side in the fourth, but both sides
scored in the following inning. Sulli-
van hit to short and was safe on first
on a muffed ball by Charlton; Elton
struck out, and Hobby was out from
short to first, Sullivan meantime had
made third and scored on a throw to
that bag by the catcher, and a bad
throw home by Mcintyre. Harmon
went out on strikes, retiring the side.
Mcintyre, the first man up for the
Chathams, got safe to first on little
pop fly that was muffed by Quillian.
Charlton hit to short, and beat the ball
to first, Mcintyre going to third on the
throw. With man on third, one on
second and no outs it began to look
squally for the Y. NJ. c. AS, but Elton
is always at his best in critical times,
and struck out the next three men up,
Daniels, Kayton and Germany, though
Mcintyre scored on a passed ball before
the last man went out.
In the sixth inning the game reached
first man up, raped the ball to the
center field fence for three bases and
scored on wild throw to third by
Clarke; Quillian struck out; Riley hit
safe to right and Stark followed with
two-bagger almost to center field
fence, on which Riley scored, Stark go
ing to third on the throw to the plate.
Hunt hit to third and was safe at first,
but Stark was caught at the plate and
Hunt at second.
The Chathams also scored two runs
IN their half of the inning. Pelzer

Clarke went out on a throw from short
to first Virgins hit safe to left and
Schley scored and Mcintyre. hit safe

Neither side scored again until the
tween center and left field, which was
mui1ed by Germany, the runner being
sale on first. He stole second and
scored on safe hit to left by Quillian
Riley hit to second and was out at

throw from short. For the Chat
mans Schley struck out, Clarke did
likewise, and Virgins went out on a

The last run on each side was scored
IN the ninth inning. Hunt went out on
1oul that was splendidly caught by
Mcintyre; Sullivan hit safe to left but
was caught trying to make third. Ell
Ton put nice one in to left, got to
second and scored on Hobdy's hit to
Hsht. Hobby made second but was
caught between second and third. For
the other side Mcintyre was out on a
ny to center, and Charlton on foul
10 stark; Daniels hit safe to left, stole

on balls; Daniels came home and the
SIDE went out when Germany struck

One of the prettiest plays of the
game was made in the second inning,
When with Mcintyre on second Clark
MI difficult fly that nevertheless was
captured by Quillian who throwing to
riley caught Mcintyre off base and
MADE double play. Another special
feature of the game was Schley's fine
