Lost to Newark by Weakness at Bat
and Base Running.
Standard League Pin AdoptedatASSoci-
alton Meeting Sunday.

From the experiences Of the season II
would seem that the best way To keep
the Grays in winning form is 10 have
them play every day Of the week for
whenever there is rest Of a day or
two there is always a loss Of that ac-
tivity shown before the rest. The eN-
perience Of yesterday was not one whit
the exception TO the general observation
OF the season. and Conn and Jacklitsch
were the only two wide-awake men OF
the locals in the game.
The fact that the Grays played a list
less game was the cause for their down
fall Al the hands of the Sailors and
despite the fact that there were a num-
Der Of times when q little more activity
or alertness would have given the locals
IA llies they were not equal 10 the occa-
sion and fell down. II was just by the
merest chance that they escaped white
wash.
Hesterfer was not so difcult TO solve
and he was as generous with passes as
anyone could ask. Despite this fact the
locals could not negotiate successfully
with the home plate. In tho middle OF
the eighth inning Fertsch relieved the
little Sailor and even this did not change
the status OF the game.
The whole field was such as to dis
courage many men from working al their
best and this was doubtless the case with
the Grays Every time there was n
grounder hit there was a whole sea OF
spray raised by its swishing through the
grass and thus many a ball that would
have gone for a safe hit was wasted.
The visitors pulled off couple OF fast
double plays however. and OHagan fur
nished one OF them all by himself. Jack
litsch pulled in a couple Of difficult fouls
during the game and secured himself
with the fans
The luck began TO break for Newark
with tho opening OF the game. OHagan's
fly dropping between Brodie and Rock.
either OF whom would have had II on a
dry field. Mailing then dropped hunt
toward Morgan but the latter could not
get TO IL on the slippery grass. Cockman
put both men down with a sacrifice. but
Swa4fAer fiied-otrt- to 6orr Jimmy Jones
was then on hand with one OF the hits
which he so often makes these days and
two runs crossed the plate. Gatins forced
Jones al second.
Newark's third and last run came in
the fourth after two were out. Murphy
hit 10 Morgan. who threw poorly TO
first and Shea hit for a base. sending
the preceding la tier 10 third Hesterfer
sent grounder to Roy Rock and the
latter fumbed the tall~and missed n
play on Shea at second, the run scoring.
O'Hagan was the third out
Dunns people broke into the run coll
umn in the eighth inning. Mcfarland
opened the session by walking. and
Dunn's two-bagger 10 the cinders enabled
Mac TO reach port Hesterfer could not
find the plate for Brode. and steve"
meandered Jacklitsch then tried 10 sac
rihce. and his bunt was thrown poorly TO
first "a Hesterfer. Fertsch then took
Hesterfer's place. and Immediately re-
lieved the tension by causing Conn to hit
20 him on one bound. a double play 10
Dunn at the plate and Conn at first re-
sulting. Morgan had the remaining
chance TO break up the game, and he
all but succeeded in getting the ball ou9
Of Mahln's reach. That active person
managed TO stop the moist sphere. how
ever and throw Morgan out at first
In the ninth. with two out. Harley got
a scratchy sort of single. and Mcfarland
hit cleanly for a base. This brought II
up 10 Dunn. who hit the ball out 10
swander ending the game
The Grays and Newarks will play a
double-header this afternoon at Merose
park The first game will be called at
o'clock. Attendance 1920. The score:
NEWARK.
