e. l.. 4. Now in Second Place in
League and Chathams in Last
Place.
In a fast and clever game the Y. NJ.
z A. team defeated that of the Chat
ham Artillery yesterday afternoon by
i tbo score of to 2, and by so doing
Club Lee . e for the pennant. The c.
As are second and the Chathams
last.
The game was played in an hour and
a half. much shorter time than is
usually taken. This was brought
about by the fact that in more than
one inning but three men on each side
faced the pitcher.
In the box Elton had the best of it
so far as strike outs is concerned, for
he secured nine against Barretts six,
but on the other hand Elton gave two
men first on balls, while Barrett al
lowed none. In the fielding honors
were about even between the teams.
but the Y. NJ. C. A. carried off the
batting honors, Blake making a three
Dagger and w. Elton a two Dagger,
while none of the Chathams got better
than a single.
The Chathams were first to the bat.
Kayton got to first but didn't get much
further for Kelly went out on a bunt
10 first, u. Myers on fly to third and
Clarke on a foul fly to the same bag.
The Y. NJ. c. AS in their half of the
inning didn't do even as we'll as that
for Blake, the first man up, was out
second to first, Peek was out pitcher to
first, and Mcconnell retired the side
by striking out
The scoring on both sides began in
the following inning. Elton gave
Krenson his base on balls, and with
Sullivan at the bat made bad throw
to first to catch Krenson. The ball got
by Brewer and the runner made sec
ond. Sullivan struck out, but Raffer-
ty made a hit over short and Krenson
scored. Rafferty, was thrown out at
second by Stark and the side went out
when j. Myers went out on a bounder
from second to first.
The Y. M. c. A. looked to have but
a poor show at scoring in the first
part of their half of the inning, for
Harmon struck out and w. Elton was
thrown out, short to first. Stark put
up a fly that should have been easily
folded, but because both short and
left field tried for it it was muffed
and the batter was safe at first. Then
Brewer put a. nice one to left and two
bags were filled. Pritchard, the next
man up, put a low fly almost along
the right field foul line and Stark and
Brewer came home.
Pritchard's hit was so close to the
foul line that many of the spectators
and not few of the players thought
that it was foul ball, and were inclined
to question the 'umpire's decision, but
the umpire stuck to his ruling, and the
runs We're tailed. j. H. Elton retired
the side by striking out
In the third inning the Chathams
went out, one, two, three, but the Y.
NJ. C. AS had better luck, for Blake,
the first man to the bat, caught low
one on the tip of his bat and sent it
sailing into right field for three bases
Peek went out on a fly to first, but
Mcconnell who followed hit safe to
short and Blake scored. Mcconnell
stole second, but Harmon hit fly
to that base, which Sullivan gathered
in and made a double play by catching
Mcconnell off the bag.
This ended the run getting of the as
ISOLATION boys, but not that of the
Chathams, for in the seventh inning,
which, by the way, was decidedly the
most exciting of the game, the artil-
lery boys not only got in another run,
but looked at one time as though they
would score several, quite enough to
cinch the game.
Krenson hit safe over short; Sulli-
van went out on a foul fly to catcher;
Rafferty, hit to short, and on bad
throw bysthat player was safe at first,
While Krenson scored. With Rafferty,
on third, ]. Myers hit to pitcher, who
held the ball to keep Rafferty, from
scoring, and Myers went to second. AT
this stage of the game a hit would
have meant two runs and the game,
but that hit wasn't forthcoming, for
Barrett struck out and Kayton went
out on a bounder, third to first. This
ended the business, for, after this in
ming, neither side got man further
than first.
One of the prettiest plays of the
game was made by j. Myers, who
caught a hot liner from Stark's bat in
the sixth inning. Both teams We're
strengthened by the addition of the
new players. Rafferty, of the Chat
hams showed up very well indeed,
While Harmon of the Y. NJ. c. AS held
down third bag in fine shape. Harmon
Is left handed twirler, as well as in
helder and probably will pitch the next
game for the association.
The lineup of the teams was:
Y. NJ. c.. A Chathams-
blake .........2d base. 800. Sullivan
Feek ........... short ............ Myers
Mcconnell $50. left field. ........ Kelly
Harmon 2d hasa Clarke
