VETS
DID METUCHEN
.Oren F. BrOwning's Nine WAL
lOped MeluChen f. Co.
BuTCheII Pitched.

The Metuchen F. Q. and the Me-
tuchen fans were the victims of sore
disappointment Saturday afternoon,
for they had anticipated an easy tri-
umph over Oren Il. Browning's pick
ed-up team of local men, several of
whom are old enough to be the faith
ers of the members of the regularly
organized Metuchen nine.
But the Amboyans played like vet
Grams, even though no two of their
uniforms were alike, and when the
curtain fell the score was 6 to A.,
with the borough lads in the back
ground.
Not only was it a corking good
game of ball, but it possessed enough
humorous features for a vaudeville
show and the spectators were laugh
ing most of the time, except when
they were applauding a good play or
urging some player to knock the ball
a mile or to steal a base, although a
pretty Metuchen Miss-and there
were scores of the fair sex on the
side lines-was heard to remark that
she thought the players were all gen
tlemen and wouldn't steal anything.
Doc. Crowther was a whole game
in himself and he put up a star front
on first base, even though he can't
bend over for low n as he did be-
fore he assumed aldermanic proper
lions. Fred Burchell had lots of fun
with Doc, slamming hot ones from
pitchers box to first when there
we're Metuchenites on base and when
there were not. Docs palm looked
the game.
Captain Browning went in to catch
rand did well in holding Burchell's
shoots for two innings, after which
The was replaced by MI. Hubbard, who
had been in center field, and who
proved ff~splendid catcher. OF course
Burchell could not let himself out,
and, lbesides, he'd pitched fourteen
innings on Friday, but the Metuchen
boys Gould not hit him, except in two
or three cases. w. A. Belcher moved
like a boy on second and covered a
lOI VI HIOuIiQ. JUN OuCSHD obOpbSA
everything that came his way, and he
madei a long hit into left in the ninth
inning which would have been good
for TWO bags any day in the week, but
he took things easy, as one base
was enough for him. He had adj
vance information that he would be
tbTppGhnhome. Three singles and a
ba8c ON balls with the bases full net
tied fthroBlaruns in this inning. The
three in the first had been made by
n rush of the Amboy batters on Star
kins' curves before that youth had
settled down to business. He aveng-
ed himself later by tanning But
honoe.5 He only had II other strike
out. Butt famed about ten.
"a large number went from this
fcity.'" TheN team had dinner at the
Hillside Inn after the game. Anoth-
err game will be played, probably in
about two weeks.
