Slow Game IN MiddIetown

Special to the Evening Journal.
MiddletOwn, July 14.-The game be
tween Middletown, and the Highlands
of Chester. on Saturday, was about the
worst OF the season. The only re-
deeming feature was the pitching OF
Walker. who in spite of poor support,
kept heaving them over in great shape.
A total OF eleven hits was made on
him. but il the boys had ,played the
game there would have been not more
than seven. Baker and Hoover each
were charged with three errors, all of
which were in a measure due to care
lessness. The visitors scored two runs
in the second on muffed fly to centre,
two errors OF Hoover. two singles and
a force out. One more was added in
the third on three base foul fly, which
the umpire thought fair, and an error
OF Baker. when the side should have
been retired. In the fifth an error OF
Scott. an out and a single scored one,
and in the sixth, a two base hit and
two singles gave them their only two
earned runs. They added two more in
the ninth. after two men were out, by
Walker hitting a man, one single and
two errors. MiddletOWn scored one in
the first on an error, and two outs
three in the third on four singles and
clever base running, and one in the
sixth on two singles and an out. In
the ninth, with the score 8 to against
them the home team went in to win.
Walker was given first on an error oi
Yarnall Baker and Salvage singled, the
two HOOvers went out on flies, and on
Holten's single every one scored, Hol-
ten taking second on the throw in,
Stannard. the heavy hitter, caught one
fair on the trade mark, and over the
center field fence it sailed for a home
run drive. winning the game.
