CHATS OF THE SEMI-PROS
With a following of 800 loyal root
ers, among whom will be listed more
than 300 girl employees, the Westing-
house Baseball Club, leaders of the
Manufacturers League of this city,
will visit New York a week from
next Saturday to play the New York
Edison Club in the second of a series
of three games.
A special train will carry the
Westinghouse players from the
Pennsylvania Railroad depot in this
city and after the contest a banquet
will be held. The New York Edi-
sonians came to Newark a few weeks
ago and after a gruelling battle sub
dued the locals to the tune of to
5. Whether they'll do 1t again is
doubtful, for the Westinghouse nine
has been strengthened since then,
and is out for revenge. 1t is ex-
pected that several officers of the
Westinghouse concern will be on
hand. Music will be furnished by the
Edison Band.
The contest between the New York
Giants and Dave Driscolls New
Brunswick Club at New Brunswick,
Sunday was played in one hour and
| twenty minutes. Eddie Duffy, OF
| this city, acted as umpire and
hustled the game along.
1t is rumored that Gus Schwarz
will no longer play with the Forest
Hill Club Schwarz has received an
offer from a big club in Manhattan.
He will probably accept 1t. His alb
sence will be keenly felt. He is one
of the hardest hitters in the semi
professional ranks and his work in
the field was also excellent. In
twenty-six games Schwarz has hit
for an average of GIL
Semi-pro baseball In Newark and
New York this year is not as -four
ishing as in former years. One can
hardly name five clubs in both cities
which are real successes in a financial
way.
Manager Lew Bender announces
that his Spartan A. C. will play the
Original Senecas for a side bet OF
$25 on any enclosed diamond in the
city Manager Middleton, of the
Senecas. claimed, through a letter
printed in The Star on Saturday, that
his team was treated unfairly In the
last game with the Spartans. Man
ager Bender, in a letter to The Star,
declares the "Originals" were given
square deal. Another game is now
In order and the teams would please
their large following If they arranged
contest.
Joe Sachs, the Forest Hill and
Westinghouse backstop, has few peers
as catcher in these parts. Joe gets
everything behind the bat, he is a
bear on foul flies and can be depended
upon In a pinch to hit almost every
time he steps to the plate.
The defeat of the New Providence
A. A. by 1 to 0 score at the hands
of the Bernardsville Club on Satur-
day was no disgrace. The game went
twelve innings, and Nlspel, the losing
teams pitcher, allowed but four hits
For the second time in a month
Santop, the Lincoln Giant backstop,
hit the ball over the right field fence
on Sunday at the T. A. B. s. grounds
in Elizabethport, distance of 48E
feet.
Tommy Washington, of the Newark
Giants, is still the same old Tommy
He has the pep behind the bat ant
can hit some, while his coaching is
original and very amusing.
Have we seen enough of those Lin
coin Giants? No stree. Fans by the
hundreds would still flock to see them
in action whenever they are booked
The Ironsides played the Giants te
a z to score and almost won. The
Worthingtons on their second APP
pearance against the Lincolns lost
9 to 8. oh, for a series between the
lTOHeTS anu 1ufHp WOThSTS.
The Westinghouse team of the ShoJ
League looks like the pennant winner
in that circuit. The Wooleyites havt
won eight games and lost none t,
date.
