The Pastime Baseball Club closed a
very successful season last Saturday
afternoon, defeating the McGoverD
Baseball Club, of Hoboken, in close
and interesting game by the score of
2-1.
They opened the season on April
IS, at Dover, playing the Meeo
Field Club, of that city, and were
defeated by rs. Beavers pitched
this game in good style and it was
through no fault of his that it was
lost; errors by new first baseman
they were trying being responsible
for it. Trying out players was chiefly
the cause of the bad start made, as
they lost three out of the first four
games played. BY this time the
players had all settled down in the
positions they were best fitted to oc-
cupy and things began to move about
more encouragingly up to Decoration
Day afternoon. Beavers and Clark
son had done all the pitching for the
team, but on this day Brown joined
it, although he did not pitch his
first game until the Saturday follow
ing, Lewis being in the box Decora-
tion Day afternoon. From this on
Brown has been the chief pitcher for
the club, being relieved only occa-
sionly by Clarkson and Lewis. 1t is
to the excellent pitching of Brown
that can be attributed in 3 large
measure the great success of the
club. His steadiness has been re-
markable, it being rare thing for
him to give a base on balls, and
many close game has been saved by
his coolness. All this strengthened
the team and long line of victories
followed.
OF the other players it would be
hard to pick out those deserving
special mention without naming the
whole team, but the good steady
catching of Captain Dempsey and
the excellent playing of Doyle at
shortstop might be alluded to in the
infeld and Armstrong and Wright
mentioned in the outtield.

pating in Pastime games and the
