Newark post., 1914-09-30

pionship of the State on Saturday.
After pitching fine article of ball
for the entire game it remained for
Hogan to make the single with
two out in the ninth inning which
scored Charlie Beatty and gave
Newark the game, 4 to 3. The SER
les now stands, Bancroft, 2, and
Newark, l, and the fourth game
will be played at the Front and
Union street grounds, Wilmington,
next Saturday.
In the early innings both teams
played poor fielding game but
settled down and for the last few
innings played like professionals.
With perfect support Hogan would
have scored shutout, while but
. one run was earned off Morley.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
lost his game Morley pitched better
ball for Bancroft than Crouch did
in the two previous games but the
breaks went against him. - ..
There was much dissatisfaction
on the part Of many fans because
of Spence being sent in to catch in
place Of Marsey who has probably
done more to keep baseball going in
Newark during the last few years
than any other person and who had
caught every game during the reg
ular Tri-County League season.
Marsey, however, relieved Spence
in the middle of the game and
caught the last four innings and
Hogan seemed to do much better
work with Marsey back of the bat.
There is no disputing the fact that
Spence is a good little catcher and
may develop into star if he has
the opportunity. At the present
time, however, when every point Of
the game is considered it is hard to
see how he has thing on Marsey
and under all the circumstances is
surely not as valuable man to the
team in such an important series.
Newark got away to good lead
scoring two runs in the opening
inning, hit batsman, sacrifice,
Morris triple and Gregg's single.
Bancroft tied up in the third, scor-
ing two runs on double, two sim
giles and errors by Willis and Gregg
A single, a hit batsman, and
Proud s error gave Newark another
in the third and Bancroft again
tied the score in the fifth on a pass,
an infeld out and Bonner s single.
