The P. A. AS and Woodstown played
a ~listless game last Saturday, the loca
boys winning out by a margin oil one
run. A large crowd was present, many
driving from Woodstown, to witness the
game, which was one of the poorest seer
on the local diamond this year. 1t was by
no means a walk-over for the Sex as
they secured only W hits off OF Cum
ningham's delivery. The visitors con-
nected for four safe hits, one a two Dagger

strike and got his man at first. In the
second Morris failed to locate the plate
and gave two passes. Poor base running
and snappy playing by Holmes and Hold
craft retired the side with only three
men to face Morris. Rube settled down
in the next round, tanning two, }. Allen
going out the Raine-Holdcratt route
The visitors looked dangerous Ill the
fourth and should have had a talley but

cue. Bee got his second pass, hlllng the
corners with one maj down. J. Shlvers

Shlvers. Featherer ended the inning by
striking out,
The locals failed to make the sem
blance of a hit during the remaining i'll
nlngs, Cunningham's pitching being a
feature.
Connie Mack, manager of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, last spring took a man
by the name OF Cunningham down south
to train for the regular baseball season,
but did not retain the twirler. The sup
position is that this man is the one Con-
ME had. Ii it is, he has failed to learn
anything from his big league experience
his back talk and Safeguarding the
umpires more than offset his good pitch
1t would have served him right
had umpire W ard ordered him from
field, as his talk was insulting and
offensive.
Struck out by Morris, Z; by Cunning.
