Base Ball Season Opened

The High School base ball team opened
its season last Saturday by losing to
Chesrook, of Wilmington, by the score of
I5 to 7.
1t was a poorly played game by both
teams. The pitchers were wild and
walked not a few. A discrediting num-
Der of errors were made.
For the first four innings it looked
hopeless for Penns Grove. The visitors
scored two run in the first, second and
fourth innings with one in the third.
Then the home boys made things lively
for several innings. One run was scored
struck out two men and the third fouled
to Huber. Hunt duplicated it in the
next inning. Meanwhile Penns Grove
was having a batting rally. They pound
ed out four hits in .the fifth inning and
scored four runs. In the sixth two more
were brought in and the score was tied.
AT last things began to look hopeful, but
Chesrook also braced up and scored two
runs in the seventh, Ave in the eighth
and one in the ninth.
The Penns Grove boys were better with
the bat than the visitors. They made
twelve hits while the latter made only
six.
