The P. A. AS put white wash all ovel
their old rival, the Paulsboro team last
Saturday. This time our Gloucester
County friends came in a lighter shade
than at their last appearance here. 1t
will be remembered that the visitors paid
a visit to our borough some five or six
years ago in the form of ministries.
Penn's Grove was represented by many
who are now playing in the big leagues
and won the game 3 to l before a large
crowd. This time the visiting team was
under the management Of a young man
whose views regarding color are at
variance with the former manager.
Pau5sboro was represented by the fastest
aggregation that borough has gotten to-
gether for years and who have played to-
gether all the season. The ?. A. AS
put their regular line up OH the field,
Morris OCCUPYING the box and Smith at
the receiving end. Hates, the Pauls-
boro's main stay for years, opposed
Morris and the fight was on.
The visitors took the first bat but were
easy outs, Morris, whose support was
gilt-edged, having things all his own
way. With the P. A. AS, it was diff
ferent. Smith, the first man up, con-
nected for a single, stole second and was
advanced to third on Kelly's muff OF Bid
dies third strike, Biddle drawing the
throw to first. Holdcraft's corking
single through short scored Smith and
there the scoring stopped. Hates settled
down to business and allowed but two
hits in the remaining eight innings.
The visitors threatened the plate in
the ninth, Elsh's overthrow to first of
Kate's hit putting RUDE on third. The
mex man up got second ON Raine's error
and the visitors looked good for a couple
of tallies, no one being out. Morris
fumbled the next hit. but put out his
mar at first, Hates being out OH Hold.
crafts quick relay to Smith. The home
rooters all heaved a sigh of relief after
Hates was declared out and as the next
batter famed the Liberty band, whose
music helped %enliven things, played
"Hail, Hail the Gaagg,s -t Very
joining in the refrain.
The Honorable MIR. Horace Fogel, was
not on the scene of action, owing to
his being detained cat the u%ffice," but the
above details of the game were recited
and re-cited on the street corners after
the game and the facts corroborated by
tHe ldIS anu prayers
Morris who has given way to Feather
er in the box for a couple of games, de-
lighted the hearts of all by his pitching.
Harry had all the necessary paraphen-
ALA for a coat of white wash, allowing
but three hits. Smiths work behind the
bat was faultless, "Buck" mailing six
out of seven in the act of pilfering pillow
No. 2, Holmes handling the throws in
fine shape.
Hunter and Griffith cached contrib
uted a single and every player who wore
the blue doing his share towards the
downfall of the visitors.
1t must be said regarding our Pauls-
boro friends that a more gentlemanlv
and peacable base ball team has never
visited our grounds. Wards umpiring
was both fair and straight, giving his
decisions to the satisfaction of both
teams.
The largest crowd of the season wit
messed the contest and anice sum was rea-
LIKED by tie management, whose efforts
to give ems Grove q ast home team
have be=u united a,nd ia tilful.

wash. Come o. early and see what the
