The Score Of | to 0.

A Labor Day game on the Woodbury.
grounds attracted good sized audience.
Both teams were in fine FORM buS the
grounds were little too damp for good
work Woodbury. batted for one run in
the first innings, and that was the only run
scored during the game. Pennsgrove's
rooters were in fne voice, and full of kicks
against Umpire Tyler, but be went ahead
giving fair decisions to the end. The
Pennsgroye team was reinforced by five
star players from Wilmington and to that
fact was perhaps due much Of the chargrin
evinced BY the visitors over their defeat.
Dopson pitched fine game, having eight
strike outs to his credit while the profess
sional from Wilmington had but three. The
Woodbury. boys scored ten base hits, while
the visitors made but three.

Pennsgrove was the last game Of the Coun-
try club season carried an ache into the
heart OF many an ardent lover Of our nationl
game. Why !? Because the article Of ball
played by the East side youngsters was the
admirable kind-that was interesting, espec-
tally on account of the "never say dieo
spirit in the boys. It was amateur base
ball and was developed in the players as
the season progressed. The players that
started the season stayed as long as they
were wanted too, and the opportunity was
given for good team work. Too often semi
professional players stay with one team un-
til ahalf-dollar better offer is received when
they Jump and go elsewhere.
The system inaugurated by Manager
Grove, is in shis part of the State. the envy
OF ali managers. With comparatively small
expense he put on the field q team compos-
ed mainly Of student athletes and sports
men who played for their expenses only.
These players were made Of the right stuff
and did nice work. At the start they were
expected by all to field well, but batting
was supposed to be the weak point. Play
ers seem to go blind when they play for
me, said Mr. Grove after the first Clayton
game.
To be sure our boys had something to do
to hit the Clayton pitchers but they did do
as we'll as any Of the opposing teams, which
was more than was expected at the begin
ming.
Our boys exceeded the highest the sfansp
could hope, both in hitting and fielding as
this enthusiasm at the last few game demon
ssrated.
Glassboro fell hard; Paulsboro won the
series, thanks to HERR Willis, and Clayton
took one and fought another to standstill.
Great pity is that Clayton could not have
been given series earlier.
Perhaps nothing is regretted more than
that Williamstown was not played. The
team from Wllliamstown was dandy. It
was team TO be loved at home, TO be se-
spected and feared abroad. We think our
club with Hart pitching could have won,
but at our best only, could we haye won
from these cracker jacks of the South Jersey
swamps.
The pian Of Mgr. Grove was simple one
founded on she principal ssthe best for the
leat money! With the expenses only Of
the majority Of the players, and small
salaries to the Others to pay, expenses were
not great. Gradually as the games got
better the crowd increased until financial
gain was made and the season ended with
all well satisfied and happy. What other
So. Jersey team can say as much in COM
parison2
The same plan carried into effect another
year would be all right, only these home
teams should all hare series so that our
exact standing can be determined.
CAMDEN VS.. CLAYTON.
