nesday afternoon, and although they had
succeeded in defeating the home club two
out of the three previous games played
this season, they lacked confidence that a
club should have when they expect to
come out victorious. It had been stated
that Layton the crack University of Penn
sylvania pitcher would be in the box for
the visitors but the crowd was disap- |
pointed, as Stevens was slated to do the |
pitching. For the first three innings the |
Smyrna boys put up fast game, but |
when the ice was once broken they played |
like school boys and allowed the home
club to score many runs they should not
have gotten.
For the first time this season the spec
5ators witnessed game where the oppo-
nents were shut out without hit or run,
and Voegeding, the South Jersey pitcher
IS the boy that did the trick, and only
one man reached second base.
It must be said had Stevens been given
proper support the score would have been
as many of the hits we're made
