Parkside who until after the
game was leading the league prov
ed the easiest kind of proposition
for Newark here on Saturday.
Many of the fans would probably
have rather won this game than
the pennant and they left satisfied.
This feeling against Parkside was
because of the Wilmington club
being awarded the fifteen inning
game on technical point.
The victory was really easier
than the score shows and would
seem to indicate that Parkslde'S
present position in the league race
is a false one. In the field the WIS.,
itors were fast but at the bat they
looked like the weakest proposition
that has been to Newark this sea-
son and can hardly expect to con-
tinue a good fight with such weak
hitters. Hogan time after time
made them look foolish. 1t was
not only the fact that Hogan had
an exceptionally good day and
they could not connect with his
delivery but it was the manner in
which they batted. They went
after the ball like rank amateurs
and showed their weakness with
the stick in more ways than one.
The popular side wheeler came
close to no hit game and 1t was
only the fact of Austin's shorty fly
dropping safe between jackson
and Kirk that stopped him. He
had speed and good control and
the visitors furnished much amuse
ment by the way they were going
after his fast low ones. Only
thirty men faced him. He famed
IL and walked |.
While Hogan was moving down
Parkside "Pete" Coffin, who has
been touted as the best in the
league was getting his bumps TOR
fair. Coffin managed to get away
with the first inning but the sec
ond he will remember for some
time. Beatty led off with a smash
between first and second. Booth
made sensational stop of the
ball but could not recover in time
to get the runner. Kirk saciticed
him to second and Morris flied out
to left. With two down the bonn
bardment started. Hogan singled,
putting Beatty on third. Marsey
walked filling the bases. Schmickel
singled scoring Beatty and Jack
sons safe tap scored Hogan and
Marsey. When Rankin was hit
with a pitched ball the bases were
again filled and Scott Gregg clean
ed up with a line drive to left CEN
tre. On hard ground this hit
would easily have been good for a
~ tho 70 Sf
first sacker stoppe dat second
Beatty batting for the second time
in this inning was thrown out at
first.
After this Newark threw away
chances to score but did get across
two more runs. In the fourth Ran,
kins single and Kinks double
counted one and hits by Jackson
Rankin and Beatty brought an
other across in the sixth.
1t was not until the fifth inning
that Parkside got a man to first
Booth reached there on Schmick
els error but was doubled up ;
minute later when Rankin made ;
great running catch of Dunn
drive. In the seventh Raine,
walked and stole second and Aus
tin got texas leaguerer but Wer
both left.
The fielding of Rankin was on
of the features of the game. Th
visitors infeld also put up a fas
game and especially Taylor q
third. In the first inning Maguir
in left robbed Gregg of what lool
ed like a two base hit. The scor
follows:
