Country Club Shuts Out North Wood
bury 6 to 0.
Willis Pitches Another Remarkable
Game.

aChallie' Willis was again the whole
show at the Country Club last Saturday
afternoon, for be struck out thirteen Of the
thirty batsmen who faced him and did not
allow hit or run.
Manager Groves gave the batting order a
complete shake up and the change seemed
to be benefit, for the men hit much better
than they have at all.
Frank Johnstone who played short stop
on the U. Of P. nine the greater part Of
this season played short and led the bat
ting list Liebert who had been playing
short was put on second base and Garrison
was taken from second and benched until
the seventh inning, when he took the place
Of G. Johnstone in right field Johstone
had strnck ont the three times he was at
bat Garrison went to bat--in the eighth
inning and sent hot ground hit to left
field.
Peters on first base has taken the place Of
Hitcbner, he Isl Rutgers player and seems to
be putting up better article of ball. But of
all the players on the team Reeves as third
base has been playing the best, His work
in the field has been gilt edge and at bat he
can be relied on when hits are needed
Liebert too, is hitting well and will doubt
less hold down position. Lacey works
hard but be was way off in his throwing,
for the three Of the four men to reach first,
stole.
North Woodbury. worked hard for the
game but because they could not hit Willis
curves lost the game, Sharpley saws, ]
can't understand it. HIS outshoot is just a
little one that curves Just over the plate but
we can't touch it, tBsrt's Dey pitched a
pretty good game of ball but whenever he
put straight ball oyer the plate the Club
boys batted it out. His drops we're always
safe when they went over But caused a
lot Of fun among the spectators when be be-
came angry When the East Side team got
to hitting hard and Bert thought Bert
manns decisions were off he worked himself
into great fuss and twisted himself into
all kinds OF almost impossible positions to
get more speed

caught between second and thmd after
