BASE BALL.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Doylestown was treated to sur
prise party at the ball park at Doyles
town on Wednesday afternoon, wher
they were defeated by Lambertvill,
by the score of 5 to1.
Pollock, Doylestown's crack twirlel
| pitched magnificent game except il
the second inning. when he lost his
cunning. Pollock started out by
striking out Lambertville's trio Of
batters in the first inning. That un,
usual feat made Lambertville's chan
ces look like bean pole slender Ev
erybody, therefore, began to sit up ano
ia Ike notice when Helverson, the first
Jersey batter in the second inning,
drove the ball deep into centre field fol-
two bases. Schilisky followed with 9
single to right and Loos Immediately
drove a corker into left garden toi
two bags, scoring both Helverson and
Schilsky. The Lambertville rooters
threw their hats into the air,
asked themselves whether 1t was
really not a pipe dream, aud then
opened their vocal valves with an ear
splitting yell of joy.
But the agony wasn't over.
Taylor sacrificed, and Pollock, who
was quite wild aud unsteady, SEM
Thumb to base ON balls. Allen hit q
hard grounder to Kelly who tried to
cut Loos OFT at the plate, but threw
veiy wild and the ball rolled down to
the bleachers and both Loos aud
Thumb crossed the rubber. After
this DISASTROUS ''home bringing,
| Butler cut loose with single to lef,
| field that moved Allen around to
| third, and Allen scored moment
later on Wislet's long fly to Gilbert
| Kline saved Doylestown spectators
from case of utter nervous prostra
ton by ohlisingly tanning Five
| runsl
After this disastrous inning Pollock
pitched like fiend, aud for seven in
nings Lambertville touched him but
for one single and only two of oul
runners saw second base. But We
didn't need to see It, ss we had al
ready packed the game away in the
refrigerator.
The unexpected turn the game took
IN the second inning acted like the
oxygen treatment on Lambertville
aud on the field they were thenceforth
on their mettle throughout the game.
Doylestown had line ont for the
home plate in the first inning, but il
didn't connect W. Miller hit the
first ball pitched for base. Nickel
vey went out on an infield fly, bnt A.
Miller reached first on dropped
ball by Taylor A hit meant run,
but neither Worthington nor Frye
We're equal to the occasion.
Then III the second inning Slegler
aroused the enthusiasm of the Doyles
town fans by beautiful drive over
the left centre field fence for homer
II was the longest hit on the grounds
this season. But this proved to be
the locals only run.
W. Miller opened the third inning
with a splendid drive to the left field
fence for two bases, but was left on
second. MeKelvey going ont, Loos to
Helyerson. and A. Miller flying to
Taylor and Worthington to Allen.
With two hits aud only one out in
the seventh inning. there seemed t.
be some hope for the Doylestown team
but il was hope misplaced, for one o.
the runners was forced ont at thirC
and the last man up hit an easy one to
LoOa.
Kline spoiled any chance Doyles-
town might have had of scoring il
the ninth by beautiful catch o.
Fryes long fly to the left field fence

LAMBERrvILLE AMERICAN BRIDGE co.
Pete Loos did the hero stunt in
grand style before an appreciative
audience at Trenton Saturday when
home boys wrestled the game from
the "Bridgebuilders.
For eight and one half innings the
Bridge Company looked the winner,
and then, with man on first, Gamble
allowed slow gronnder to 90 through
his legs when a double play should
have resulted. A single aud double
followed, giving Lambertyille two
runs aud making the score 3 to :.
In their half of the ninth the Bridge
builders made good try to tie Tia,
score. Pndick WAS sent in to bat foi
Woolston and responded by smashing
out threebagger along the THIRD
base line. The men who followed
however, could not do anything anc
Pudick was left ''waitin at th'
church.
The game was alive with exciting
incidents all the way aud the big
the crowd present was kept on edge
from beginning to end
