REGULARS AND GIANTS IN
TEN INNING SESSION.
Teams Appeartd to Be Very Evenly
Matched and 1t Was Anybody's
Game Until the Last Man Was Out.

The Pleasantville Regulars went
down to defeat last Wednesday after
noon before the largest crowd that
ever jammed in Adams Park. Long
before the time for the game to start
there was no more room inside the
grounds for automobiles, scores being
obliged to park on Adams Avenue.
By the aid of three solid hits in the
first inning the Giants were able to
put over two runs, but Adams tight
ened at this juncture and held them
scoreless until the eighth when they
scored another. In their half of the
eighth, Pleasantville showed fight and
put one run across. This agreeing
with their taste, they followed the
good work up by tieing the score in
the ninth, just missing getting the
winning run by a few feet, when Mel
son was caught at the plate by a re-
markable throw from left field.
With the score a tie, the Giants
went to bat in the tenth and, with aid
of an error, followed by some solid
hitting, pushed over three more runs.
This was more than the Regulars
could overcome, and the game ended
6-3 in favor of the Bacharach Giants,
the Regulars fighting, however. until
the last mar was out.
Both pitchers worked in grand
form, highly delighting the large at
tendance, and all expressed a desire
to see more games between these two
evenly matched teams. Roberts for
the Giants, famed thirteen, while
Adams forced ten to strike out. Both
pitchers were extremely good with
men on bases.

WAIST MANUFACTURES
SEEKS GOOD LOCATION.

A manufacturer of silk waists was
in Pleasantville this week looking for
a site to locate a factory. The only
suitable place available is the second
floor of Red Mems Hall, and he con-
suited the Trustees in regard to this.
Should satisfactory terms of rental be
made he will locate here. To the edi-
tor of The Pleasantville Press he stat
ed that his payroll would be in the
neighborhood of $500 a week the year
around, and such an industry would
certainly be a great boon to our city.
