Five hundred fans shouted themselves
hoadse ait West Side Park yesterday af-
ternoon. yelling with delight as the Je :
sey City and Hohoken cops swung
around the circuit with the regularity of
the animals of flying wooden menagerse
otherwise a caruusel. The Official
scorer got cramps in the wrist. Enough
runs We're made to make a respectful e
showing for whole league season. More
runs would have been made but tile
cops got winded. The whole game was
played out, however. and at the conclu-
son it was found the score stood 25 10
is in favor Of our cops. 1t viii be
some time before the riddled conditis n
of the air can be put back into pepper
shape. It was knoeked as full Of holes
as the bottom of a sisve.
Paitlvlman ]. Dundon. of the Fist
Precinct. captained The local cap team,
and played seconeb bsse. HIS chi eff char
acteristic was calling down other men for
the sane kind Of errars that he himself
made. Pat olnan Braeken was i'll sqie
hex for the locals. Roundsnan Graf, af
the Seventh. was on iha g.ounl ready
10 take Braeken's place in case e
weakened OF the HJbaken cops took TOO
n.icl lhcrty with his curves.
Bracken was in danger of losing his
job but once. That was in the fifth in

hammering OUT hits by the dozen. and
piling up nine runs. 1t was then that
the HobolIen sports got busy and began
to offer all kinds of money at all kinds
ofpdds that victory would perch on the
banners Of the Hoboken players. Chief
Murphy and Chief Hayes, of Hoboken.
looked askance Some of the Jersey City
cops wanted to take advantage of the
opportunity, but We're obliged to meekly
submit to the indignities Of the Hoboken
fans The only damage, however. was
that the team got ratified. They soon
recovered, however. and settling down to
business, resumed the operation of hold
ing down the Hoboken cops. while they
piled run upon run until the game was
finished. One of the features of the
game was. the heavy hitting bv Dunni-
gan. of the Second. a two-hundred pound
er, and an old-timer at baseball. Fox
who played centre field dropped couple
Of flies in succession and allowed the
Hobokens to fill the bases. Wolf. who
PLAYED first base. also mnffed beautiful
fly in the third inning. but he distinguish
ed himself as a base stealer.
Fitzsimmons, Of The seventh, a two
hundred FOUNDER, who played third base,
did wonderful work at the bat and ran
the bases like deer Dunnigan, of the
second, did great work behind the bat. P.
Kelly, Of the second, played short in a
mariner that caused his work to be com
pared favorably with that Of Cap a III
Bean He was particularly good in
scooping grounders and made the biggest
hit of the game. a three-bagger. Bruen
of the fourth precinct. who played left
field, and Hern. of the sixth. in right
field, did good work chasing the ball.
SIcGovern. of the second, was on hand
to take Dunnigan's place on second if
necessary
