Howes < Co: force and include some OF
the old-time players such as Billy Dill
worth, the famous pitcher, who used
TO puzzle them all. He was caught bv
FRED Johnson, the crack colored catch
er. AS they We're advertised it was
"Old Dilly and Mister Johnson" for the
battery. Other old-time players were
Steve Shute, Cliff Ness Tom Berry. Bill
Robinson and others.
The game started in fast and furio,s.
neither side scoring in the first two
innings. With DilWnrth in the box the
Y. M. A. was puzzled Unlike the
pitchers of thiS date Dilworth used no
glove and it was good to see him twirI
the swift ones. He was heartily an
plauded every time he came to the bat
as was Johnson. for they were great
lfavorites in the game a few years ago.
In the third inning the score was tie. 3
to 3. The Y. NJ. A. then ran in three
more in the fourth and in the fifth the
Clerks again tied the score, to G. In
the seventh the Association bows made
four runs and the lead was too much
for the Oldtimers, and after scoring
once in the eighth they did not see
nome again. 1t was good exhibition
of baseball, however. and it must be
understood that the Clerks have not
played together before and are not in
the same form as their opponents The
game called out large crowd and
there Will probably be a series played.
The Clerks are not yet convinced that
the Y. NJ. A. is the best team and
there is also a question in the minds
of the spectators. The score
