LACY PITCHES
EXCELLENT BALL
Wins Two Games for Norris
town by Wonderful Work

I George Lacey, the Morristown A. A
'lefty,' gave another exhibition OF
his ability as baseball pitcher Satur-
day when he worked in fifteen in
nings, pulling the first game with
Caldwell out of the fire and holding
the Elizabeth A. A. to three hits
and blanking them so far as the run
column is concerned. Lacey had
everything and that includes excellent
support.
Eddie Welsh started the first
game but gave evidence of not hav-
ing enough work lately. He was as
wild as a hawk and his control was
nil The third and fourth sessions
were his undoing. The Caldwells
batted round in the third, corralling
four hits, one of them for three cush-
ions, and Welsh contributed pass
and wild pitch, netting the visitors
five runs. The next session Eddie
was tuoched for two singles, famed
two and hit two batteA. Captain
mike" Doyle then gave Lacey the
high sign and Welsh retired to let
George do it and he did, for he re-
tired the last batter on strikes and
then held Caldwell runless and to
one hit.
Monroe started for Caldwell but he
Jared as bad as Morristown's first
selection Captain mike" started
it off in the first session by getting
a thump in the ribs, then Maloney
came across with single and worke,
a double steal with Doyle. West
had the jinx working on his Satur-
day and his best was an easy fly to
left. Hillock poked out single
scoring Doyle and Maloney and took
second on the throw to the plate. He
promptly showed up Babcock by steal
ing third. Lyons was famed but
had to be thrown out at first. Glen
non then poled out two-sacker that
scored Hillock and tailed on Mar
keys single. Ahles died, Monroe to
A. Speer. With four runs to the good
things looked good for Morristown
until Welsh awaited.
Morristown came right back in the
third session and counted five more,
however. West got a life when Nc
Chesney dropped his fly. Hillock
laid down bunt in an attempt to
sacrifice but beat the throw and 1t
went for hit. Lyons got life on
Todd's error. Glennon famed but
Babcock dropped the ball. Right her
a play came up that had Umpire Lee
and a lot of the spectators up in the
air. With three on the bases Glen
non was out anyway when he famed,
West ran home, however, and Bah
cock did not touch him but touched
the plate and then threw to first for
a force play. Lee called West out
and Captain mike came right for
ward and protested, quoting the rules.
The Caldwell catcher made big kick
about it and Doyle finally let the mat
ter drop by West going back to third.
Lee certainly was off Saturday, not
only on this play but on several
others.
Markey drew pass forcing West
in, Sturgis singled and Welsh singled
After Monroe had contributed wild
pitch and Swenson, who went to third
for Doyle when the latter got hit by
a batted ball in the second inning,
flied out to center field, the tally
showed five runs for Morristown.
But the local boys appetites were
not satisfied and Maloney nudged
another around in the third. Sven
son started the inning with a single
but soon was thrown out at second
on Maloney's roller to Schinzel, who
replaced Monroe in the box for Cald-
we'll. James went to second on
Vests out and stole third, scoring
when Babcock made poor peg to
get him at the hot corner. When it
was all over Morristown had the gam'
by a score of ten to seven.
