JEWELL PROVES
HE IS CLASSY PITCHER
Schoolboy Has Shown Great
Form in SemisPrO
Ranks.
BY EDWARD p. DUFFY.

Another pitching wonder is coming
to the front on the local sand lots. He
is getting ready for great things in
the pitching line. although he is only
a grammar school boy. He Is Clifford
Jewell. who is ON the payroll of the
Washington City League club. Since
joining the team in the early part of
the season, young Jewell has not had
q chance to show what was in him.
Manager Flammer signed him with the
Intention OF developing him by asso-
citation with players of faster calibro
than those with whom he had been
playing. Because Flammer was short
on pitchers last Monday the boy got
a show and he certainly did well. Why
he was whipped out of the box in tho
fifth inning, from a perusal of tho
published score. does not appear. Up
to the tim he left the box the lad
had let down the heavy-hitting Balti-
more Colored Giants with two hits.
This is work, for these dusky players
playing ball in these diggings. To
prove that he is a ball player, the boy
went in TO play short for the rest of

chances at the difficult infield position.
starting two double plays. Over and
above all this he had two hits, one of
them a two-sacker that scored two
men when runs were needed. All in
all the advent of this boy in local semi
professional circles is a distinct gain
for the sport.
As a pitcher he looks the goods.
With a little more experience he ought
to be one of the most sought men in
the city. He is simply a world-beater
in his class now. Such men hold their
supremacy with their graduation into
faster company.
Managers Glassen, of the ~Ironsides,
and Flynn. OF the Roseville A. c., have
agreed to play a series of games. The

double header on Sunday. September 20.
The morning game will be played at
West Side Oval. The afternoon game
will be played on the R%oseville grounds,
First street and Sussex A

Curtis, the Watsessing catcher, has
been playing right field for the st.
Johns, of Jersey City, on Sundays. He
is being used there for his hitting.
Quinby, the Montclair A. G. third
baseman and shortstop and former
Yale star, is one of the most graceful
playing ball hereabouts. He
makes no useless swings and stands at
the bat like a man full of confidence.
He simply meets the ball when he
thinks it is right. He is a good exam
pie for young players to follow.
The Millburn team looks like a fam
lily affair. There are three Lynches
and three Trengroves on its roster. |

six hits against the Chatham Athletics
Saturday. These boys nae all the hits
the team made between them, n
apiece. They had five of the seven runs
brought victory. This is a very
unusual combination. It's the nearest
approach to the famous Harrison team,
of Belleville. There were enough of
boys to make a corking good
team.
