BASE BALL.

/ Vile Saturday night. The fireworks
that had been purchased for use were
put away for some future occasion
and the band took trip in the
country for exercise. In as brilliant
contest as has ever been seen ON
local ball field the potters triumphed
over Lambertville, through Dooling's
error, three runs to two. 1t was a
sad ending to most exciting match.
Both teams had the game in their
grasp several times only to let it slip
away. There would be hit, thea n
mixup, and man or two would be on
base. Everybody would be worked
III, to the highest pitch of excitement,
then the twirlers would use curves
that they never used before, or field
err would take drive out of the clouds
and the inning would be over. In
many instances the contest bordered
on the spectacular order and 1t came
very near having "A spectacular hnlsh.
With two men down in the last in
bat, Loos stole home with what would
have been the tieing run, but just as
Loos slid into the plate Allen put up
his stick and fouled the ball. loos
was sore, of course, but Allen was not
to blame, as he had not been put
wise" to the play. 1t was a great
piece of work on the part of the pit
cher and he deserved better success.
Allen then struck out and ended tue
game. That is the reason for Lam
| bertville's sorrow and South Tren
tons rejoicing.
Loos and Caldwell were ut the top
of their form. Cauldwell pitched his
best game of the year and Loos twirl-
ed in his usual steady and deliberate
manner. caldwell was gotten too.
| for more bases than the Marlborough
| lad, but Loos did not have the same
perfect support behind him at critical
stages that was given the Bowman
pitcher. Three doubles and four sin
| giles were Melted from Lambertville'
| hits, while the Bowmans got to Loos
for n triple, double and five singles.
1t was hard game for Loos lose, and
no one knows it better than he does.
Judging from the first inning, it
looked as if hits aud runs were going
to be scarce, and in this instance APP
pearsuces did not lie Cauldwell re-
tired two men by the breeze route in
the first, so did Loos, and he pnt
away the first two batsmen in the sec
ond in the same manner. Then the
Bowmans scored their first run on II
rather foolish throw by Schilisky to
Goodbrod. llillburn poked out a
Texas Lacquer" and seampered
around to the third corner on COST
gan s hit to right field. II was Costi
gan S play to draw throw aud when
Schilsky fired the horsehide to Good
hrod it went wide of the mark and
Hillburn tailed. McQuade rolled one
to Williams and the session was over.
lambertyile started out in very
suspicious manner in the third in an
effort to even up matters, but failed.
The Lambertv.lIe boys are perse
verins aud when they did not tally
in the third they stuck pluckily to
their task aud got two runs over i'll
the fourth.
In the third session Dooling open
ed with double. In going around
first he claimed Lamke gave him the
chip. Umpire Proud gave Lemke
lecture on etiquette and warned him
to desist from such tactics in the flu
ture. Bye the way this official is Just
to all. He umpired in very fair
and impartial manner and was not off
on one decision.
To get back to the game and Lam
bertville's two runs in the fourth. 1t
seemed rather hard to do it, but as
Lambertvlle needed them in their
business they got them. Kline bunt-
ed to McQuade and died. Helverson
slammed ont double and went to
third when Schilsky hit to Mcguire.
Schisky wrenched his knee getting
to first and Brennan ran the bases for
him. Curling Tim pilfered second.
When Loos singled Ielverson scored
and Brennan came home on Good
brod's fly to Hillburn. In the pre-
ceeding inning Dooling was put ont
at the plate on Tilton's good throw
Of Bennet's short hit. Lambertville
got man as fur as second in the sixth
and Brennan got to third in the eiea.h
on his two-bagger and William, neat
ly-placed hunt MeQHadc gather ed in
line drive from Helverson = bat and
stopped run Loos' daring steal in
the ninth was the climax of game
that ended so disasirously, but not
inglor ously, for Lambertyile.
For the Bowmans Howes reached
third in the third and Thomas was re
tired at the plate in the fourth after
driving the ball to the left field fence.
| Kline gave an exhibition of is sprint
ing prowess ana quick relays to Allen,
Loos and Schilsky caught Thomas
not yard from the rubber. The
seventh looked good for the Potters,
but Loos managed to fight his way
out of very tight corner. Three on
base and one down looked good
enough for the money, but no run was

Bowmans forged to the front, when
dame fortune went back on Lambert
vile. Howes beat out bunt to Will
liams. Seeing the success Howes
had, Tilton also dropped one in front
of the plate. Loos fielded the ball to
Goodbrod, the latter dropping the
throw. Mcguire flied out, but Lemke,
who always makes good in pinch,
