WHO LOST A GAME cocka
Alderman Clifford Searching for
Owner of a Night Visitor.

Alderman Bartholomew W. Clifford
is looking for the owner of a young
chicken. One night last week while
the alderman, his mother and sisters
were all seated on the porch of their
Maple avenue home a small Rhode
Island red chicken came running up
on the porch and seeing the front
door open ran on in. Mrs. Clifford
and the Misses Clifford started af-
ter the bird and it continued into
the parlor where it dncked under the
piano. The alderman here took a
hand in the chase also and with a
broom managed to shoe the little
fellow out in the open where he was
captured after another hot race. All
the neighhors who have chickens
were visited with the hope of finding
an owner for the bird, but none
could be found to claim him. The
alderman put the chicken into his
barn until an owner arrives.

ball-Collins. Umpire-Maloney
The game Sunday with the Jersey
F. c., of Boonton, was close and ex-
citing. Bennie Ross got off to a
bad start but settled down after the
second inning. Harry Holborrow
pitched for Boonton and the New
Yorker failed to stop the Morristown
batsmen. Boonton took the lead in
the first inning. West booted Lewis
grounder, Shea gobbled up Cooney's
grounder and touched first for the
put-out, beating the runner to the
bag by an eyelash. Red" Conn
came through with what should have
! been a single but it took bad bound
past Bradley and went for two bases,
scoring Lewis.
Boonton got another the next inning
two passes, a sacrifice fly, an error
, and a wild pitch being responsible.
Morristown broke up the game in
the fifth. With two down Collins
placed a nice single in right and
Shea hit one mile a minute past
Kiser. Doyle lifted a high one that
came down back of third base. Kiser
and Will Lucas pulled off am Alphonse
and CASTOR stunt, each waiting for
the other to catch it, and it went
for hit. West then hit solid smash
to center and three runs were hung
UP on the scoreboard after Armstrong
popped to short. Just to show that
it could be done the locals put another
run over in the seventh. Collins
walked and Shea sacrificed. Doyle
singled to center, West hit to Hol-
borrow and Collins was thrown out at
third. Armstrong then singled to
II 1T, scoring Doyle.
