COMMENTS ON THE GAME.

Outside of defeating Cleveland. the
spectators took the greatest satisfac-

were at last taking the kinks out of

that the locals have not been hitting

turn on old Cy was most astonishing.

This has always been a lucky town
for Bill Bradley. and he kept up mis-
good work by placing two singles to

Timely hitting by the boys of the Agri-
culture Department was the cause of
the downfall of the War Department
team when the former won by score

but the War boys were unable to bunch
them. The errors of the War team also
figured in the run-getting fer the win
ners, while the three misplays of the
Agriculture team were not near so costly.
Rea of the War team did the best stick
work getting three safe drives, one Of
which was for two bases. Murphy for
the winners. connected safely for fwo
doubles. Newberry also got two hits
for Agriculture. Gallagher played a fine
fielding game. having seven assists 10

sack. Also did good work. For Agricul-
ture Murphy put up a fine game in the
field, He made several fine stops of
hard drives and caught the runner at

gies, cut off several runs when they
pulled down long drives.

THIS MOVE is
MOST IMPORTANT.

Important history may have beer
made for Bridgeton last night.
Last evening W. G. Besler, Vice
President and General Manager of the
Central Railroad Company, accom-
panied by Jackson E. Reynolds,
general attorney for the company,
came to Bridgeton in their special car.
They inspected the work done upon
the Water street extension.
Early in the evening they met George
H. Whipple, B. F. Harding and W. G.
Milford, representing the Bridgeton
Gaslight Company, and Messrs. John
E Minch and S. Frank Pennell. Water
street property owners, at the office of
Walter H. Bacon. President of the
brldgeton Commercial League. At
this conference details of construction
of the elevated structure from
Hettinger's property to Broad street
were discussed and determined.
The Central officials later met the
three members of the public utilities
committee of the League, and they
discussed with them giving the city of
Bridgeton improved train service over
the Central road. 1t was suggested
to Mr.. Bessler the advisability of oper
ating gasoline cars from Greenwich tc
Winslow junction, which would make
| a convenient and much desired service
for many people, and he strongly urged
that the Central Company should
make better service between this city
and Philadelphia.
1t may be said that Mr.. BessleI
and MI. Reynolds were much interest
ed in the matter and asked many
questions, which the committee were
able to answer intelligently and il
| detail.
Mr.. Jonas showed that the traffic
would be important to the railroad
company.
Mr.. Bessler will take the matter
under advisement and the enterprise
will be considered in all its phases oy
the officials of the company.

MAN CHARGED
WITH FORGERY.

Something over two years ago
Daniel D. Coney sold to James H.
Borchers horse for $100. Borchers
gave security by chattel mortgage
on the horse and a buggy and har.
ness belonging to his father and paid
$40, on the horse, leaving balance
due of $50.
The balance was not paid and Coney
learned that the buggy and harness
was not the property of James, but of
his father, and James learning that
proceedings were likely to be taken
against him, ran away and was gone
two years.
He came back last May and Coney
had him arrested, but settled the case
then by taking note for $50 on May
22d, with interest.
James said he would get his fathers
name on the note and took it away
with that understanding, and when he
returned with the note his fathers
name was on it,
The note is nearly due and Coney
has learned that the father did not sign
the note and yesterday before Justice
Charles Fielding Coney swore out a
warrant charging James H. Borchers
with forgery, with intent to defraud.
Constable Ed E. Reeves last night
arrested the young man on the charge
and he was committed to Jail without
bail.
When brought before Justice Fielding
last night he admitted to signing his
fathers name to the note. saying he
signed both names, and also said his
father could write. He gave no excuse
or defence for his action.
Last Spring he purchased a horse of
William Irwin for $3.50 and gave a
note of the same character, but Mr..
Irwin returned the note and got his
horse back.
1t appears that he has frequently
done the same thing he would buy a
horse, giving note with his and his
fathers name on it, and then sell the
horse in time to take up the note with
the proceeds.
1t is likely the Coney note will be
paid

HARD HITTING
GAME; PARK WON.

An exciting, interesting game Of
base ball was played at the Park yes
terday afternoon before large crowd.
the visiting attraction being the Phila-
delphia A. G. What made the game
unusually interesting was the batting
and all the fans like a game where the
bats are working merrily.
Always hard hitting, the Park team
yesterday swatted good and fast, but
they made no runaway of it, for the
Philadelphia A. G. had a half dozen
men who could crack the ball bit.

first base and made four hits out of
five times at bat, and three of the bin
giles for two bases Fritz and Linker

the afternoon, 2 of them being for 2
bases and one four sacks.
Wisler's home run was beauty. On

ming he. swung easily and the ball
sailed over the right field fence, beyond
the home run stake. This is the first
four base swat made on the Park
grounds this season. Wisler also drove
| beauty to the centre field fence for 2
sacks later.
Steinader was not nearly as effective
as usual yesterday. His balls broke
badly and he lacked control. He had
lots of speed, but he could not get
the ball away from the centre of the
plate, the result being that the hitting
of the visitors was vigorous.
White was hit hard by the Park lads
and change of pitchers was made in
the latter part of the game.
Webb made some great stops but his
work was marred by two bad throws
which allowed runs. Brady also
spoiled a double play by dropping a
thrown ball, although the runner spiked
his foot just as he was receiving the
ball. Campbell misjudged a fly in the
first which went for two base hit, but
he retrieved his fortunes a little later
by making long run for hard fly,

Clerk J. Russell Treat issued his first
gunner's license this morning, and,
after the arduous labor of filling up
the necessary credentials, kicked be-.
cause the license fee was only S1.15.
Walter Rittenhouse, the applicant.
also had some kicking to do, and
thought he should have fee for going
through the ordeal to which Treat
subjected him. He first kicked because
Treat wanted to measure him with an
old tape measure, found in work
basket, which made Rittenhouse 4 feet
inches tall, Instead of 5 feet 2 inches.
Then Treat wanted him to get on
the cattle scales to be weighed, but
finally consented to drop a penny in a
slot weighing machine, which regis
tered 1876 pounds.
Tne greatest trouble came in de-
Gliding the complexion, color of eyes
and hair. for Rittenhouse is q good
looking chap, with hair that could be
called blonde or brunette.
A dozen bystanders were drawn into
the controversy, but their opinions
were so at variance that, as last re-
sort, the borough clerk took Ritten
house before Mayor MCGOWAN, who,
being used to legal complexities, soon
decided the matter in favor of Ritten.

THE BEECHERS
LOSE LITTLE GIRL.

The following is from the Philadel-
phia Ledger this morning:
Little Miss Beecher, years old,
who was taken from her mother, Mrs,
Carrie Beecher. a vaudeville actress,
by Judge Gemmil, in Chicago q week
ago, will be brought back here after
the addresses given by Mrs. Beecher
have been investigated and safe
haven is found for her.
Mrs. Beecher was arrested by her
neighbors week ago for beating the
chiio cruelty and when she was ar
ralgned before 5adge Gemmil she said
she beat the child because it would NOT
learn the lines of the little vaudeville
part in which it had to appear.
Mrs. Beecher and the child had been
playing the cherper theatres in Chi
cago for four weehs.
Judge Gemmil rebuked the woman
sharply for trying to make the baby
learn a part, and said she was an unfit
mother for the child's control. Mrs,
Beecher wept bitterly when the juve-
nile authorities took the little girl, but
Judge Gemmil was unrelenting.
The actress gave two addresses here
at which she said she and the child
had friends and relatives. and the Chi
cago society will bring the little child
octress home as soon as they are as
sured that she will be safe here.
