Ernie Wolfe was depended upon as
Morristown's artilleryman but ms
aim was very bad and his powder
poor SO that instead of his offerings
being effective against the Mendnam
attack they were turned back IN raple
succession as safe hits. The battle
waged on even terms until the flftn
inning. Then Andy Speary, VINO

mighty swing and turned back one of
Wolfe's offerings for a home run ovel
the left field fence. After Banks had
flied out, Welsh laid UP against the
ball for a scratch hit past Sheas Shea
messed up Rae's roller. Sullivan was
thrown out, Wolfe to Hillock, Wiley
walked and Opdyke singled through
the box. Total, four runs.
Then in the eighth inning, well, ten
men faced Wolfe. OF these three were

but one and he walked. Total, sls
runs. Morrstown tried and tried but

ship of Equine.

Decision was reserved by Judge
Oliver X. Day in the District court
in the replevin suit to establish the
ownership of grey horse in the
possession of Louis Bloom, of Mont
willie. The horse which Bloom said
he bought from horse dealer named
Berger, who now is in jail in New

ject of another replevin suit three
weeks ago which Judge Day decided
in favor of the defendent after view
ing the animal The plaintiff in the
suit was Henry Battscher, a merchan
of New York, who testified that he
had had a. grey horse with a brand
mark resembling 's76" stolen from
him on October 8th, last year. Bloom
in his defense said that he had pur-
chased the horse he has before the
Jewish holidays in September, last
year. The mems description of the
color of the animals did not agree.
This case was the third to decide
the ownership of horses alleged to be
stolen by Berger and sold to residents
