Notes On The Game

Palisade was without catcher I'M
til Weisenborn happened along, and
when he was told the situation, he
jumped on a wheel and made haste
for home. He was back in jig time
and played jigtime ball all the way
One of the Hudsons asked why
Logan did not join the big leagues
Brady had been out of the box just
long enough to yearn to get back, ana
he was there with bells on.
Leonard Lane put up very good
game, but he should learn to judge
flies better.
J. Lyons is the smallest first sacker
ever seen in Palisade. But he played
without an error.
Mancini, the manager of the Hud-
sons is very gentlemanly little chap,

Palisade Defeats
Hudson A. {.

The Palisade Baseball Club con-
tinues its chain Of victories, annexing
another game last Saturday when
they defeated the Hudson A. c. of
Hackensack. The visitors brought
along one of the finest young pitchers
his name being Bello, that ever threw
ball in these diggings, and although
he was beaten handily, he deserves a
lot of credit for pitching very superb
or ball. He struck out IL men, and
felded his position like thorough
bred. The visitors are cracking
good little team, and it was no easy
matter to subdue them. They are in
the game every minute.
For Palisade, Paul Brady was in
the box, with Weisenborn catching.
Paul was at his best, though he was
a bit wild in the opening session, al
lowing two runs on wild pitches,
which, however, he only smiled at,
as he held his opponents in the hol-
low of his hand all the way, getting
fourteen by the strikeout route, and
from the way he did it it looked as
though he might have made it twenty.
He had speed to burn, and warped
the ball around their necks and backs
as though he were merely toying. Up
to the 9th inning they made only one
measly single, and only six all told
every one of which he could have pre-
vented. Growing weary of the mo-
notony, he merely lobbed the ball
over the few times they got to him
one of these home run in the 9th on
lost ball in the tall weeds of right
field. PauPs pitching was beautiful
that's all.
At the bat, Logan carried off the
honors with ease. In five times up
he got three doubles and a single
One of his hook slides into second
base would have done credit to g
Cobb At the third sack, also, he
played perfect ball.
One of the pleasing features of the
game was the graceful playing OF
Inninger at second. This young chap
is coming player of strong prom
ise He handles himself ON grounders
like thoroughbred, and gets the bal
away on an underhand throw like {
Collins or Doyle. His playing was
much talked of during the game. Goe
mann, also, played one of his best
games, getting two hits, and handling
everything thrown at him, high ant
low, with much similar grace to thai
of Fred Merkle of the Giants. Ruck-
enbrod at short played one of his
incest games, though he did not have
a great deal to do. Two bases OF
balls helped the run getting through
his prowess at base running. Ever!
time he got on he scored. Ed. Greer
took turn in the field, playing left
He got run and hit in three time:
up, but did not have put out or err

distinct feature. He held Brady well
and threw to bases like shot

SECOND DECREE: MURDER

In pronouncing sentence, Judge Hay.
mond said that each OF the men sen.
fenced to 10 years would get 10 days
deducted from each month OF their
sentence provided they. obeyed the
rules OF the penitentiary.5 and that the
men sentenced to nine eyars would be
entitled to eight days off each month
for good behavior. This deduction.
the court said, would almost even up
the sentences.
Frank Saverino. who was scheduled
for trial at the opening OF court at 8
o'clock, was ready with his attorney
to proceed. but pleas OF guilty for the
five men charged with murder in the
first degree. In addition to Palma and
the two men turned states evidence,

had been found guilty by jury Sat.

Along conference was held this fore.

by the five accused men and their at.
torneys. Finally after the men had
been given to understand that a plea
OF guilty Of murder in the second de.
gree would beaccepted by the court
and by the prosecuting attorney rather
than go to trial on the first degree
charge, the men, or boys, rather, con.
sented TO make the plea to the second
degree charge.
Attorney French McCray, in behalf
Of his client. Sayerino, made the first
plea. declaring that on account Of the
youth OF his client and his ignorance
he should be given the benefit of the
extreme mercy of the court.
Attorney. .McCray declared that Tor.
cha and Rando. the leaders OF the
Famiglia vagabonda and mature and
experienced men, had been: let off be.
cause they turned states evidence,
while the five boys who were their
iupes had been compelled to face mur.
dor charges. MFR, McCray said in his
address to the court:
.'If Torcha had been as energetic In
taking care Of these boys after he got
them to Join the society as he was in
getting them TO Join, they would not
be compelled to face this serious
charge here today.
'You say you want to send these
men to jail because they are danger.

crippled lad, Frank Saverino, my eli.
ent. He is less than 10 years OF age.
He is ignorant. He cannot read or
write. He was the dupe Of such men
as Torcha, Rando and Palma, who
used him as a tool to carry out their
evil purposes.

when one of the older men thrust "a
weapon into his hand to get rid OF it,

Mason, Jr., appeared for Fafone and

for Fafone, declaring that be went to

Attorney Raymond spoke in behalf
OF Miaola and Fafone, declared tllat
they were but tools in the hands OF

states evidence are to escape paying

Attorneys Rollo conley. and Frank
Amos appeared in behalf OF Alossi and
Jardina, entering peas for their clients.
Conley urged the court to be lenient in
sentencing the men. Conley declared
that his clients were but tools in the
