Redmen Administered Heavy De
feat To Y. M. c. A.-Clerks
Shut Out 7. A. c.

Wednesday night the Redmen
walked away from the Y. NJ. c. A.
team in a game characterized by the
listless playing of the association
team. The first and fifth innings
were disastrous to the Y. NJ. c. A,
session, due in both cases to a mix
ture of hits, hit batsmen, bases on
balls and errors. With the excep-
ton of these two half-innings the
game was close and fast. Both
pitchers had plenty of steam, and
with any kind of support behind
Cronin, the game would have prob
ably gone to extra innings, but two
Y. M. G. A. men accumulated six err
rors between them and Cronin him
self went to sleep on the third sack
in the third inning and was caught by
the catcher, spelling a promising
rally, for the bases were filed and
only one man down. But for this
inning the Y. M. G. A. was not dan
gerous. Fred Moore and Hale we're
the leading stickers getting two hits
each, though one of Hale's was of the !
scratch variety, striking in the in
field, and bounding so high that he !
had time to reach first, before it |
could be recovered. The feature of |
the game was a lucky stab of a high |
fly by Thomas, in the third that start /
ed a double play. The score

Clerks IT. A. c. o.
close battle was Uncorked Friday
night, when the Clerks took the 7.
A. G. team into camp by a score of
10. The game was a pitchers bat
tie between Smythe and Gagner, with
Gagner having a little the best of the
argument, and the better support
Indeed it looked for a time like a
place in the Hall of Fame for Gagner,
but two singles in the fourth spoiled
his record. Smythe's delivery was
very puzzling, and this game also
would probably have gone to extra
innings had not Prudette's single
field long enough to allow him to
reach third base, from whence he
scored a moment later on JOhnson's
single The Clerks also threatened
to score in the first and third but
could not get the run across. The
game was the most quickly played
Of any this season, not commencing
until after $50 and ending soon
after 700, the reason being that the
pitchers did not have to waste manyr
balls, the batters often connecting
with the first ball pitched.

T. A. C. 2-Y. NJ. c. A. o.
The T. A. C. team broke into the
column Monday night by
the Y. M. c. A. 2 to 0. The
latter team had a changed lineup
which worked well, Reginald Fisk
playing short field, Harvey in right,
and Witty in the pitchers box. But
three errors by Murphy at the third
station were directly responsible for
the two runs of the terminal team.
Other than this Witty had good sup
port, allowing but one hit and keep >
ing them hitting weakly to the in
felders. Scott also pitched a good
game, and deserved to win. The first
man up hit a high fly to BickfOrd
who muffed it, and the freight sheds
lad visions of an early run, but
Lynch hit into a double play and
Bridge was an easy out at first. The
1eavy end of the Y. NJ. c. A. batting
order failed to show in the first and
he only excitement in the second
vas a hit by Harvey that was vast
I'd when he was run down between
second and third. With one down
n the third, Marcier got a life on
durphy's error, went to second on :
;mythe's hit, third on a wild pitch,
