errors were almost the prime cause
of just handing them the game. Of
course, all errors are excused so long
as Palisade won. But on the other
merits of the game the Methodists
really never had a look in. Ed.
Greer was in the box and he had
about everything nasty on the ball
that made the other side catch stitches
in their backs trying to connect
with his curves. Then he had
a fast one and luloo splitter
that fairly whizzed over the plate
besides benders that were cork
screws. Young Inninger is not
regular catcher, and Greer's spitters
caught him at disadvantage at least
three times when the creased streak
broke SO disastrously for him that
the batsman got to first on a missed
third strike. And those were some
Notwithstanding the Leonias
never before saw on their green
sward. Paul Brady came down from
the farm to take a hand in this game,
and he had big hand in it, too.
He and George Beckmann did most
of the banging of the ball around the
lot. George, he got two two baggers
and single in five times up, and
Brady got single and a double,
the latter putting the game on ice in
the ninth. In that frame Inninger
was up first and got life on a single
right at short, which Mr.. Van Zandt
could not get down to first in time.
He stole second and stood there while
Goemann and Greer famed. 1t
looked gloomy for a run, but Drey-
fous got first on a missed third strike
by Thompson and stole second just
as Inninger slid into third on Greer's
strikeout. Then Master Paulus Brady,
he of the suave smile and laughing
eye when he does not pitch as he
should. The Leonia hurler, Mr..
Binder, had two strikes on him and
no balls, then unhappily grooved one
to which Paulus did not do thing
but paste it kerslam on the nose for
a double clean out through the trees
into left, and Inninger and Dreyfous
came Looping in. Beckmann was
called out on strikes.
In the other half of the ninth, the
Leonia team threw good clean spasm
into Palisade by scoring a run and
had another man on besides. Binder
went out on the first base line on a
bunt to Greer, who touched him.
Thompson got the ball in the Stats,
and Jewell got a life on Brady's
tumble of his warm grounder to
short, Thompson going to second
Beatty struck out, making two out
Then Van Zandt got lucky hit
through second, Thompson scoring
This put the star hitsmith of the
Methodists at bat, Mr. McClatchy,
and Mack stood there and let Ed
Greer fan him. They say McClatchy
shed tears he was so alfred over
come with remorse or something or
other. Anyhow, that settled the
game and Palisade won.
Palisade got run in the first on
clean hit by BecRmann to center,
after Dreyfous and Brady had re-
tired on flies. He stole second and
got a third on a passed ball of the
first baseman when Logan hit down
the third base line and was safe at
first on Sloat's low heave to Storm,
Beckmann scoring when the latter
allowed the ball to roll away, for
George is also Splinter besides
being joybug batter. Logan was
thrown out on an extremely doubtful
decision at second, when he made
hook slide.
Again in the third Palisade scored
two runs on the following layout of
the game: Greer out to short on a
pop fly; Dreyfous was punctured in
the ribs by the ball. reaching second
on Brady's single to left. Then
Beckmann slammed out big two
Dagger to left, Dreyfous scoring,
Brady getting third. He scored on
Logans sacrifice to right, and
Mitchell was out, short to first.
There was an awful inning for
Palisade when the Methodists came
in for their half of the third. Boyd
got first on a dropped third strike,
getting second on wild pitch. Binder
singled to left, Boyd getting third,
and scoring on Thompson's sacrifice
hunt Jewell hit safely to center, and
was safe at second on Van Zandt's |
roller to the infield, Jewell getting
third on Logan's error when Paul
Brady tossed the ball rather hurriedly
to him to catch Jewell on a force.
Then Beattie drove hot one through |
the box, that passed through Brady |
and Dreyfous, also, rolling out to
center where Mitchell let the ball
stay on the grass till Jewell ran home
and said he had another run to tally
then hit to the inheld,
and Van Zandt tried to run home, but
Logan caught him at the plate for
the second out. Storms struck out.
Three runs two hits and handful of
errors, and big fright for Palisade,
as beforesaid There was no more
scoring till the ninth, as already eX-
planned in detail. AS game to
watch, it was one of the old
fashioned kind, with enough thrills
and trills to satisfy even Justice OF
the Pease Thompson, who was on
hand roofing as usual. The Leonia
crowd was most orderly, to their
credit be it said. In the eighth some
