Palisade Defeats
The {. M. S. Team
Of Hackensack

lent game by both sides, Palisade de-
feated the C. M. S. team of Hacken-
sack last Saturday. 1t wasn't a game
won by the "handily" route, the
"easily" route or the "hands-down'
route The best characterization as
to how it was won would be to say
that it came Palisades way by "the
skin-o'- teeth" route. Neither
could it be said that Palisade played
better ball than the G. M. S. club
1t didn't. C. M. S. brought over Muel-
Ter, their port-side pitcher, and what
ever it was he put on the ball made
it hard to hit. He was by far the
best finger in many ways Palisade
has faced this season in fifteen starts.
Bleauvelt at first was at his best, and
handled himself we'll all the way.
There was not wabble in the team
except when Masters at third threw
wild to first in the eighth when Ruck
enbrod sent singer at his feet
which he got clearly by mastery
stop, then had his aim too high on the
throw which put the runner on second.
This cost a run, as Mitchell sacrificed
him to third and Beckmann sent him
home on sacrifice to short, scoring
Palisades first run. The next man
up, Logan, sent a two Dagger to left,
which put Beckmann on third, where
he was caught mapping, catcher to
third to home. Cristoff was called out
on strikes, anchoring Logan at second.
C. M. S. Gets First Run
In the seventh C. M. S. earned a
run on free hitting. Bleauvelt sent a
high two Dagger to right, and scored
on Stewards single to left. The tie
came in the eighth as already stated.
Close Call in Ninth
The ninth inning was bear. For
c. M. s., Brough singled to left,
Bleauvelt repeated to the same spot,
putting Brough on second, owing to
Beckmann's fast fielding, and he had
almost nipped Brough by a clean
throw to first. This made Bleauvelt
careful in passing second. Stewart
flew out to Mitchell, no one moved
up, but the two runners advanced
bag when Harper sent the third
single to left, making three on, one
out. The visitors, side liners, and those
in the stand rooted hard for C. M. S.
and it did look squally for Palisade.
A hit meant two runs, and possibly
the game. But Ed. Greer who had
pitched superior ball all afternoon.
got Meeks called out on strikes. Two
out and Noble the smuggling pitcher
up, he who had aided Fort Lee to
beat Palisade July a, and who was
trimmed by Paul Brady in the fifteen
inning later defeat of C. M. S. Noble
has been hitting well lately, and he
landed on the ball in a hard drive to
Mitchell, which looked safe enough
until the cardinal haired youth pulled
it down, and the game still stood one
all.
Greer Wins His Own Game
Palisades half of the ninth was
short and sweet. Ropes waited for
four bad ones stealing second, Innin-
ger got first the same way. Goemann
struck out the second time, and the
crowd cheered Greer when he came
up, yelling for him to go in and win
his own game. Well, Ed. did it. He
sent a high safe fly to left near the
foul line which couldn't be touched
by Ludkins, and Ropes was home
before the ball got back to the dia-
mond, the game won, only one man
out.
Fine Cana nf Don
1T was as clean a game as anyone
could wish to see. Both sides were
out Tor gore, and played almost fault
less ball. Ed. Greer won his game
through magnificent support. Ropes
little slip in the fourth inning wasn't
costly, as Ed. Greer caught Bleau-
welt mapping at first, and the side
was retired in one two three order.
a thing that happened to the visitors
fve times in the game, and only
twice to Palisade.
Perhaps as games are analyzed
Palisade had shade on C. M. s.. but
not much; 1t was Greer all the way,
even IN the ninth, when most pitch
ers would have weakened with three
men on and only one out. But in that
close box he frightened up air-tight.
struck out the next man, and made
the third out hit a fly. Of the two C.
M. 5. games this season Greer's was
perhaps the faster and finer, with
not one costly error behind him. The
other game had six errors.
In the field Beckmann was the best
ever, and so was Mitchell. Rucken-
brod was steady at short, as was
Logan at third. Each had some hard
chances, but never wavered and threw
fauitlessly, as did Ropes at second
munger was good in the field, but
ropes took the batting honors, with
three hits in his three times up. and
a base on balls. The score
