NEW ARK HAS BATTING MAT
NEE

Newark gave Rockstroh an awful
drubbing Saturday afternoon and
won from Elkton by the score Of II
to 0. For three innings it looked
like a pitchers battle although New
ark had scored one run in the sec
ond. The locals, however, got to
ROckstrOh in the fourth. scoring
three runs and in the eighth broke
up the game when seven cOnsecu-
tive hits. two of them doubles,
were made, bringing in seven more
runs. Rockstroh was allowed to
stay and take his medicine. With
a safe lead Whiteman was put i'll
the nimth inning to finish the game
and young Ritz the high school lad,
donned the mask and NIT. White
man hit the first batsman but the
next three were easy outs.
This victory keeps Newark
two games in the lead while Elk
Mills and Rising Sun are tied for
second place.
Jake Hogan had lot of smoke
and was practically unhitable for
the Elkton boys. The best they
could do was four hits and three of
them were of the scratchy variety.
He famed II in 8 innings and did
not give pass. His support at
times was spectacular. Charley
Beatty at third base played a great
fielding game and also had two
doubles at bat. A one hand stop
Of Beatty IS of a hard hit ball on
which he threw the runner out at
first was one Of the fielding fea-
lures. Another fielding feature
was a catch by Garrett, in right
field in the fifth inning on which
he doubled c. Beatty at second
base.
Elkton really never seriously
threatened the plate as only one
man got as far as third base. The
game was an exceptionally fast one
the entire nine innings being played
in one hour and thirty minutes.
Newark scored the first run in the
second inning. Gregg was hit by
a pitched ball and went to second
on an infield out, from where he
scored when Ferguson poked a
beauty single to left.
Marsey the first man up in the
fourth was hit and went on to sec
ond when Rockstroh throw got
away from Peterson. Morris dou-
bled scoring Marsey. Gregg sing
led and both he and Morris came
home when Willis hit to left field
for two sacks.
The bombardment came after
Hogan was out at first In the
eighth inning. Beatty made his
second double of the game and
after this there were hits galore.
The next six men in the batting or
der connected safety, although
poor judgement on the part of the
Elkton fielders allowed two of them
to go for hits. In all seven runs
were made that inning bringing
the total up to eleven. Whiteman
seemed to have plenty of stuff the
one inning that he pitched. The
score follows:

FIELDING AVERAGES

BOOSTS AND KNOCKS

1t looks like the club that now
beats Newark out will surely win
the pennant.
Rockstroh famed all three men
in the first inning and did not have
a strike out the next eight innings.
Newark did not waste much ener-
gy. Eleven runs were scored and
only one man was left on base. that
being Marsey in the first inning.
Ferguson made the hit that scor-
ed the first run a nice clean drive
TO left.
Charley Beatty and Del Willis
both helped along considerable
with two doubles each.
The two third basemen had
busy day and both played the po-
sition like vterans.
A. Beatty stopped several hard
hit balls nearly over second and
got ms men at hrSt.
The local club deserves to be at
the top. as it has played better and
more consistent ball all season than
any other club in the league.
Whiteman will probably be given
a chance in one of the Oxford
games on Saturday and judging
from the one inning that he pitch
ed against Elkton the Iron Hill boy
ought to be able to get away with
it.
The leaders play in Oxford the
morning of July 4 and come home
to play the same club in the after
noon.
Aberdeen two weeks ago was bat
tling with Newark for the lead and
that club is now in fourth place.
Spence, the former Penn-Mar
League catcher is playing a fine
game back of the bat for Elk Mills
Duborrow the outfelder who was
given a trial on the Wilmington
Tri-State team and who played
early in the season played with
Swarthmore College, joined Ok
ford on Saturday.
O'Daniel back of the bat
strengthened the Newark Field
Club team but it looks as though
there will have to be other changes
before that team can regain lost
ground in the Penn-Mar League
race.
The Newark Field Club of the
Penn-Mar League dropped two
closely contested games to Apple
ton on Saturday by the scores of II
to 10 and I to 5. The leaders bat
ted out a victory in the last inning
OF the first game when three runs
were scored off Chillas. The Ap-
pleton club is going at a fast clip
just now and is hitting the ball
hard.
The field club will probably be
strengthened by next Saturday and
an effort will be made to climb up
IN the race. Slack, formerly with
Iron Hill, is to join the team and
will play the outfield and it is also
understood that Gilfillan will cover
first base IN future games. This
will strengthen the club both in
fielding and hitting. The score of
the first game on Saturday fol-
