LOSE LAST GAME TO
BOONTON JERSEYS
But MOrristoWn Takes Series
-Four Out of Six Games.

Though losing the last game of the
series arranged with the Jersey f. c.,
of Boonton, Morristown A. A., gets
away with the series, having won
four of the six games. Sundays con-
test was lost because of the Morris
towns feeble hitting, only three bin
giles being banged off Holborough' S
delivery The Boonton twirler went
very well while Ross was given a
raw deal by Umpire Bolster. That
official refused to give Bennie the
corners and IN consequence the Nor
ristown pitcher had to put the ball
in the grove for every stirike-result,
Boonton hit them.
Bolster was evidently determined
that Boonton should win even at the
cost of the good opinion of the spec
tators in regard to himself. The very
first play he showed his hand when
Doyle threw out Kiser. The throw
was to the right of Strong and the
birst baseman thrust his mitt hand
ever after the ball, making a nice
catch. But he lost his balance and
touched the ground with his right
Rand but kept the left with the bail
in it in the air. Bolster declared Kis
er safe on the ground THAT Strong hat
the bali in his right hand instead of
the left. Then he changed his mind
as to that and said Strong did not
have his foot on the bag. AS for the
latter idea he must have got it
watching Cooney play first for Boom
ton, that player getting the baM first
and then doing some fancy footwork
afterward finding the bag. Bolster
mill lad h ~. Al
he permitted Jersey player to score
from second on an overthrow while
sending the base runner who started
frcm first and hove to on third back
to second.
Bolster presented Boonton with its
first run by refusal to call Conn out
on strikes, keeping that player at the
plate until he finally hammered out
a two-sacker, after Cooney had got a
lucky single that bounced off the
stone-wall in right field. Kiser got
around in the third on a clean two
bagger, a wild pitch and an out. In
the seventh H. Lucas singled and
scored on Holborough's two-bagger.
The eighth inning was a bad one
for Ross. He had to groove every
ball to get results and the results
proved to be. base hits for Boonton.
There were five in this inning and
Bolster helped 1t along by giving a
base ON balls to w. Lucas, for whom
he evidently felt compassion as he
did not get hit during the after
moons pastiming. Ross contributed
q bad throw that helped in the scor-
ling.
The game was the second that
Ross has lost this season. His pitch.
ing for Overlook hospital team on
Wednesdays has been a triumphal
march, not a game being lost, while
with Morristown the only other team
to beat him was the Dovers in an
e.even-inning contest. Some pitcher
this boy Ross, and he was born and
brought up in these parts, too.
