With the exception Of ten minutes

irons Of base ball were Treated to three
continuous hours of the sport last sat-
urday afternoon at Franklin Field.
The first game was a quiet pleasant
affair with Green Village. Although
well played by both sides 1t was not
close enough at any time to rouse
much enthusiasm The. fielding was
about even. but the Pastimos were
better at the bat and won Id conse-
quence.
Quite the contrast to the first was
the second game. That was close
enough and exciting enough to stir
up the most stolid spectator. For
eight innings each team struggled to
get man across home plate with
out success. Three times Clifton had
two men on bases when a hit would
have meant at least one run, but The
hit was not forthcoming. Twice aid
the Pastines have three men on bases
and it was up to Stroud and Carrell to
do something, but neIunar proved
equal to the emergency Finally yoenne
the ninth inning. T. Dempsey's high
throw Of Reynolds short hit allowed
him to reach first safely. He reached
second on passed ball and third on
Newschwander' 5 out. BischofI's time
" hit brought him home. BischofI
went out in trying To steal second and
Beams on strikes
The Pastimes then came to- the bat,
the score was to ia favorof Clifton.
Gould they make a run and tie the
score /? That was the best that was
hoped for. With eight zeros, staring
them In the face as a resplt.of their
previous efforts the. outlook was not
very encouraging. Studley was sent
out to bat for Carrell. but a grounder
to Sassman who promptly threw him
out at first was the best he could do.
Captain Dempsey then tried a fly to
Sassman with no better result. Two
were out and The spectators had begun
leaving, when their departure was ar
rested by the sound Of crack and Oh
looking back to see what was doing
they saw Stroud standing safely on
first. They paused then. M. Dempsey
was substituted to run for Stroud ana
Immediately stole second. Doyle was at
the bat. Doyle singled, Dempsey came
home and the spectators returned t0
the benches. What had been Thought
impossible was accomplished and the'
score was tied. While all this was 90.
ing on Reynolds was chasing DOYLE 4
hit and when finally getting ii ana
seeing no chance Of putting Dempsey
out at home he tried it on Doyle Al;
second with success, making the third
out.
Machette came to the bat for Cliff
ton Ia the tenth and struck out, Sass
man was given base on balls. but
was caught at second, Egler reached
first safely on Gillespies high throw
and third while Maloney was recover
ing the ball. Gillum then came to
the bat and hit would have meant a
run, but he followed Machettes i ex-
ample and retired on strikes.
1t was the Pastimes turn once more
with Gillespie at the bat, he reached
first on single and second while
Bischotf was having some difficulty ID
getting the ball picked up and in the
proper position in his hand to throw
it. Being Pastinne ball it was not
over anxious to return to the diamond
too quickly, it would even have been
still happier to have been lost alto
gether and no one, on The Pastime
side at least, would have gfumbled.
The ball, however, finally got into
play again and Maloney flied out
Barrett, Following, struck out and two
were out again with Gillespie all the
while resting on second. Then came
M. Dempsey After two strikes a ball
came in contact with his bat. 1t was
a long hit, and toward the left field
seats and Egler made after it. Ii be-
gan dropping at last, but SO near the
seats that Egler had to rest one foot
up on the enbankment, 1T was an
awkward position to be In and when
the ball reached him this prevented
him from holding 1t and it fell to the
ground. Gillespie had In the mean
time crossed the plate and made the
winning run.
Stroud was in fine form and pitched
splendidly receiving good support at
critical times. A one hand stop Of
Barrett's in the fifth was as pretty a
piece of fielding as has been seen on
the diamond in some time.
