Newark post., 1915-06-23

Traction at Parkside.
The leaders in the Delaware
MARYLAND League had surprise
in store for them on Saturday.
Both New Castle and Parkside
were defeated and Newark drop
ned a close game to Elkton. This
drops Newark to fourth place but !
even at that the locals are but .
two games behind the leaders. AS
was predicted in this paper some
time ago Parkside which team
showed some class at the first OF
the season has struck the toboggan
and it is hard to tell where Lewis
lands before he stops his club
skidding. The same thing is ex-
pected of New Castle now that the
shadmen have started to lose. Out
side of Newark that Elkton bunch
looks to be about the best balanced
team that has played here and the
Cecil boys should be able to make
a fight for the pennant. Traction
Company should also gradually
improve as there is good material
on the team.
Hogan Loses His Own Game
While Hogan really lost his own
game by wide throw to first base
in the eighth inning which gave
Elkton the winning run neverthe-
less the clever southpaw pitched
a mighty fine game of ball after
the first inning. In the initial inn
ing the visitors managed to bunch
double, stolen base and single
which scored a run. Only three
more hits were made off Hogan's
delivery the remainder of the
game. Potts, Elkton's nifty catch
er. was the whole show. He was
the only man on the team who
could do much with Hogan's dellv-
erv but what he did was sufficient
to win the game. He scored both
of the visitors runs and three of
their five hits, two of his smashes
being for two bases each.
Although Smith pitched good
ball the wonderful defense work
of the team back of him pulled
him out of several tight holes and
saved him the game. Newark had
II men stranded on the bases
which shows that little oppor-
tune hitting would have made con-
siderable difference in the score
Coslett, Vannort and Marcus star
red in the field. In the fourth inn
ing Vannort saved Elkton a run
when he jumped in the air and
stabbed ball with his glove HAND
from Morris bat. Kirk could cas-
ilv have scored had the ball got
ten away from the little seconc
baseman. Vannort played clever
game at short robbing the home
team of several hits by his fas
fielding. Marcus also caught fly
balls that looked to be good To-
one or more bases.
While Newark made no sensa
tional plays yet the entire team
nut up a good steady game in tn
field with the exception of tn
bad throw by Hogan. After on
was down in the opening innln
Potts drove the ball over tn
fence for two bases. He manage
to get a big lead off second an
stole third and a moment late
scored on Marcus single to righ
In the first, second and fourt
innings Newark got runners to SET
ond and third, but the hit
bring them over was not produces
In the sixth Newark scored on
run and really should have score
more. After one was out Greg
was hit by a pitched ball and toe
second when Beatty walked. Whe
Kirk hit a grounder to Coslett
attempt was made for a doub
play but Vannort let the ball g
away from him and it rolled seve
al yards out in the field. Greg
stopped long enough at third
lose his stride and was caught
the plate by few feet. If Ores
had kept on without slowing up
third or had made slide at tt
plate the possibilities are that
would have been safe. Morris, ii
next hitter, drove one over Il
fence scoring Beatty but Kirk W;
caught off third ending the in
ing. In the next two innings NeN
