BRIDGETON
PLAYED WELL
Strong Fight i'm IL Inning
Contest.
SCORE WAS ; TO 7
Edwards Pitched q Fine Game
Against the Strong Pleas
antvilIe Team.

The Atlantic City Press yesterday
printed the following story of the
Memorial Day games played at Pleas
antville:
Pleasantville, N. j., May 30.-Pleas-
antville added the third and fourth
successive victories to its string this
season by winning a double-header
from Bridgeton at the local park to-
day. The first game was a walk-away
for the locals, while in the second
game they were pushed an entire II
innings by the visitors before a crowd
of nearly one thousand fans of the
County witnessed the winning run,
the scores being IA to 0 and 8 to 2.
sespectively, in the locals favor.
In the first game the visitors were
weak at the mound, their two utility
pitchers proving useless at times
against the onslaught of the Pleas
antville sluggers, while Stretch, pitch
ing for Pleasantville, exhibited mas
terly form and with excellent sup
port never allowed the visitors to
pass second base.
In the second game, however.
Bridgeton's star pitcher was put in
the game to oppose Adams, the local
phenomenon, and while he allowed as
many as 13 hits, they were scattered
and his control was better in the
pinches, and his team worked better
behind him in the afternoon. Adams,
while he pitched a sterling game was
not up to form until the extra several
innings, when he had the batters en-
tirely at his control apparently. Will
son, the locals center fielder, dropped
long, difficult fly in the eighth in
ming that permitted a second man
to occupy the bases for Bridgeton,
and a good clout by the next Bridge
tonite netted the visitors two runs,
tying the score. Excitement was at
fever heat in the stands, the visitors
getting their share of encouragement
from the fans for their game strug-
gle, and the intensity lasted through
the ninth and tenth innings, during
which neither team resulted anything
from their extraordinary efforts. In
the eleventh chapter, Pleasantville's
half, Smith at bat hit terrific single
nearly over first base, which was
called foul. Returning to his plate
a little disgruntled the batter caught
the next throw for a hard two-bagger
to left field. Danielson then alarmed
the fans by striking out for the sec
ond down of the inning, and Nelson
then electrified the fans by another
OF his crashing hits that stopped only
a little short of center field fence,
scoring Smith for the third and win
ming run.

WILL BUILD
LIGHT Line

The Bridgeton Electric Company is
planning to build an IS mile electeric
light line from this city to Woods
town. 1t is expected that active work
will begin upon the construction with
in few days. The plans have been
worked out by B. F. Hires, General
Manager of the South Jersey Division
of the International Electric Company.
The eighteen mile line will be car
ried out the old Deerfeld pike road
through Deerfield to Shirley and from
that section through Salem to Woods
town. This will give opportunity to

all of that rural section between
Bridgeton and Woodstown and the
farmers generally are anxious to Sc
cure this efficient and modern system.

be an inspiring lesson to the younger
generation, and better prepare us all
for that which the future may have
in store for us as a nation.
The programme outlined involves a
large amount of effort on the part of
the officers, trustees and committees
Cf the League, but the work has been
undertaken in the firm belief that it
is the performance of a patriotic duty
and it is upon this basis that the citi-
zens of Bridgeton will be asked to CO.

IMPRESSIVE
CEREMONY

A very beautiful and impressive
ceremony took place in the Church of
the Immaculate Conception on Tues
day morning, when Right Rev. James
A. McFaul conferred the Sacrament
of Confirmation.
The large class had been carefully
instructed during several weeks for
the reception of this great sacrament
The Bishop addressing the class be-
fore Confirmation, which is a sacra-
ment through which we receive the
Holy Ghost, to make us strong and
perfect christians and soldiers of
Jesus Christ, stated that it was very
fitting that they should receive this
great sacrament on this day when the
nation is honoring the soldiers of our
country. There are two kinds of SOL
diers, soldiers of the country and SOL
diers of the church.; the emblem of
the country, the Stars and Stripes; of
the church, the Cross of Christ.
AS We have the brave soldier of his
country, so also have there been cow
ardly soldiers or traitors. He des-
cribed the punishment of the traitor
when discovered, and the manner of
death; so with the soldiers of the
church. We have our brave and faith
full soldiers and their reward is the
loving words of our Divine Judge
Jesus Christ "Well done, thou good
and faithful servant, enter thou into
the joys of thy Lord
So with the unfaithful soldier or
traitor, when the sentence will be
Because thou hast denied Me before
man, so I will deny thee before my
Father, who is in heaven"
The church was beautifully decor
ated for the occasion, the exterior be-
ing dressed with flags, and potted
plants adorning the entrance
AS the procession, consisting of
Bishop McFaul, Monsignor Pozz1,
Vineland; Rev. FIR. OFarrell, of Sea
Isle City; FIR. Ryan, of Millville; FIR.
Tenne, Rosenhayn; FIR. Caprese, East
Vineland and FIR Hassett, entered the
church, the choir sang "Ecce Sacer-
dos. During the Confirmation suit
able hymns were sung.
Following confirmation Bishop Nc
Faul, empowered by His Holiness
Pope Benedict ZV) bestowed the Apos-
tolic Benediction.
Before the Apostolic Benediction,
the Bishop had all those who had been
confirmed take the pledge to abstain
from all alcoholic liquor.
Benediction of the Most Blessed
Sacrament followed
