BRIDGETON WINS
OUT In THE TENTH.

Or course it took extra innings but
Bridgeton took the game for all that,
and in Millsille too by batting out
three runs in the tenth round. Barth
took the slab, for the fourth time,
against the present leaders, and as
usual had them guessing. He let them

and would have had shut out but for
Jack Roth. That individual surprised

with the bases full, he dropped fly

Wild Bill" Yerkes was throwing
for the home lads and was touched up
for dozen safeties, which, with three
passes, three hit batsmen, five errors,
a wild pitch and passed ball. should

If ever man was lucky it was Bill

Indian" Russell, the umpire proved
TO be cracker jack, and his decisions
were very satisfactory.
Bridgeton opened in the first, when
Yerkes first pitched ball hit Davis,
Rowe attempted to sacrifice but
bunted a pop fly to Yerkes who doubled
up Davis at first. Reeder, ho~ ever,
cropped clean one over the second
station, Kaufman added another in
the same place, Reeder taking third,
then Dutch started to steal second
and Smith threw down, but neither
second or short were near the bag, the
throw going out to centre field, so
Reeder scored and Kaufman pulled
up at second, Curry walked but Novak
went out.
Millville came in and doubled our
score. Jack Hewitt, who has just
returned to the game, nit to Novak
who made a fine stop but threw a
little wild. Hewitt was safe but after
running short distance past first.

Kirk who is in attendance on the field
took care of him and said that it was
the old injury on his leg, that he had
torn ligiment. Scott took his place
and Smith sacrificed him to second.
Brady beat out bunt and White

Simmerman popped up to Rowe, and
Boogar hit one into Rosh's hands, but
70 everyone's surprise he dropped it,
Scott and Brady scoring, but Roth
caught White at the plate. The next
count came by Bridgeton in the third

with his second single, Kaufman laid
down neat bunt but it bounced up
and hit him. Reeder then stole second
and scored on Curry's hit, which
rolled through Simmermsn; the next
pair went out.
That score was doomed to remain on
the score board until she tenth, al
though Bridgeton had enough men on
bases to win dozen games, but
usually two men were out, and this
coupled with Bill Yerkes' luck put off
the winning run until the tenth.
In that final inning Bridgeton broke
loose, Jack Roth took four wide ones
and stole second. Barth's hit was cap
tured by Boogar. Davis singled to
centre and the ball rolled through
Boogar. Roth counting and Davis
going to second, Rowe lined another
over second, Davis scoring and Rowe
going on to third after the throw in
then Reeder went out, YeIkes to
Brady. but More. running for Rowe,
scored on the out, Kauffman's foul to
Smith ended things as Millville could
not rally in their half.
It was good game except for the
scoring innings, and several fine plays
we're pulled off. The same teams play
here Friday which game will decide
who takes first place in the standing.
The Tabulation:
BRIDGET ON.
