The Mer,den Club of Connecticut took
the Jersey City Club of the Eastern
League into camp yesterday and admin
istered to It a sound thrashing. It was
pitchers battle, and while Lufkin was IN
the box for the Eastern Leaguers Meridian
had all the best of it. They found the
curves and batted them hard and often
II was too late when Wolfe went in and
though he he'd the home team down in
their hits and made them of the scat
tering kind he could not effect means
of having the Jersey City Club catch up
to the big lead its opponents had Sc
cured In the early part of the game.
Meriden sDrung very hard proposition
on the visitors in the person of Durn-
baugh. He was in great form and put
them over in great style. They had speed
and illusiveness enough to be worthy of
Rusie But there were times; in fact
nine times when the Jersey City boys
hit them. McManus was behind the pate
for Jersey City again, and he added an
other credit to his list by the mastery
fashion in which he filed the position.
Jersey City started the game in a fash
ion that made the Meriden team feel that
1t was all over with them. While the team
gave the home players two large goose
eggs in the first two innings they tailed
four times. once in the first and three
times in the second. Then the guiding
star of Meriden got busy and in the third
inning and again in the fourth they tall
lied four runs. Two more were added in
the fifth and the proposition looked like
q hopeless one for Jersey City, and in
deed so 1t was, though the visitors played
the greatest kind of ball and got three
more runs by the end Of the sixth. Moth
ing could get another man over the plate
for Jersey City, but Meriden got three
more runs in the ninth. Both sides erred
more often than a team of schoolboys
should. The score:-
RHE.
