AfhIeficS GiUen Very Hard
Battle by COI0red Giants


The Newark Athletics at last found
a team that was able to give them a
real battle. w. Moorman's Newark
Colored Giants visited the big enclosed
diamond yesterday afternoon and after
nine innings the Athletics found hat
they a been up against a tougher
proposition than was at first thought.
The final tally was 3 to 2.sand many
of the big crowd, which numbered over
a thousand, asked to have another
match, to take place within a few
weeks. 1t was a pitchers battle be-
tween George Hughes, the hon teams
star, and Milligan, of the Giants.
Hughes had the call, allowing but five
scattered hits and striking out eight
batsmen. The Athletics were the first
to score. making a pair of runs In the
third inning. Harry Kurfess, who
clouted out three singles during the
ARRAY, hit safely and reached third on
Faulk's error of Langheld's drive. He

raced home on Hughes's sacrifice fly,
while Rothfuss fetched Laughed to the
bench with a Texas Lacquer.
Both teams tailed one each in the
sixth. Mencbner's error on Hayes
grounder, Beach's two-sacker and Sisco's
sacrifice fly We're responsible for the
Giants run. Egler started with a double
for the Athletics, but was out at third
on Menchner's %grounder. Middle went to
second on a fielder's choice and advanced
TO third on Hayes's error.
He crossed the plate on Ruthfuss's safe
drive. The visitors started a rally in the
ninth, but only scored one. Sisco led of
with a triple and scored when Kurfess
threw low to he plate. The Far Rock
away team will be the opponents of the
Athletics next Sunday afternoon. The

are several reasons why it won't. One of
them is that the people Of the Michigan
