ERs-MANY LADIES PRESENT.
The baseball team Of the Jersey City
cops yesterday found themselves up
against hard proposition at West Side
Park in a so..test with the New York
baseball cops. They We're defeated by
score of IS to 3, but they and over a
thousand fans enjoyed the game. Nor
did they make a sad exhibition of Their
skill in the field. 1t was the failure to
properly WELD the stick that brought
about their Waterloo. Had night sticks
been used a different showing might have
been made. Despite the fact that the
score was 18 to 3 the Jersey City cops
vere credited with one less error that the
New York cops, the Gothamites being
credited with 6 and the Jersey City cops
| with 5. Braeken, who was in the box
for the local players, was hit hard. The
/ New York s,uggers slammed his offer
ings at will, two of them being knocked
over the fence by Donohue and Har
grave. He is good pitcher, but not in
practice that gives the boxman proper
form for a scientific contest. The burden
of the battle rested on him and none of
his colleagues has a right to complain.
BY agreement with the New Yorkers
Pfanmiller, of the Jersey City Eastern
League team, pitched the balance of the
game. In the four innings he pitched he
struck out eight men and did not allow
the visitors run. Bracken struck ont
| two men. Batten, who opposed Br . ken.
while lin the box struck out seven men,
while McGraw, who opposed Pfanmiller,
struck out but two men, Pfanmiller was
splendidly supported. When he went
into the box he found yandergrift, his
old catcher behind the bat and Billy
Keister was playing behind second base.
Besides then two hits for home runs
'above mentioned, Donohue and Veach,
of the New York team, each hit for two
ibases. the latter doing so twice The only
! two-base hits credited to the Jersey
lcops was made by Fitzsimmons. New
L York had nine men left on bases and
