Triangles Win

The haywood Athletic Association
was the fifth victim for the Triangle
Club baseball team last Saturday
when the Palisade boys defeated them
on their own grounds. Although the
Triangle boys scored six runs in the
first inning the game was anything
but tame. Both teams pulled off
some rather fast plays and three ac-
cidents occurred to Palisade boys.
Woolcott, who was catching for the
Triangle Club, was knocked out for
several minutes in the third inning
by foul ball, in spite of his great
protection. Again in the seventh
inning while fielding a bad throw he
turned his ankle and was out for sew
eral minutes.
Brown was hurt in a collision in
left-center, with Lane, when the two
came together fielding fly. Browns
jaw was knocked badly and his tongue
cut, while Lane bruised his shoulder
Lane was later spiked when blocking
a bag and had to have treatment.
Ruehmann, who covered second
bag, played an irregular game and
was considerably off in his fielding al

Woodcliff Defeats
Hudson H'gt's Firemen

The baseball team representing the
Hudson Heights Fire Company was
given a bad trouncing in four
inning game with the Woodcliff team
last Sunday afternoon.
The game was played on the North
Bergen diamond, and owing to the
fact that the Woodcliff boys did not
put in an appearance until 2.30, in
stead OF l pm, at which hour the
game was scheduled to be called, it
was necessary to stop in the fourth
inning to allow another game to start.
Charles Russell, who was on the
mound for the firemen ball players,
did good work. Although he pitched
a no hit game, his efforts were USE

Palisade Loses to
Hilltop A. c.

The game of ball last Saturday be-
tween the Palisade B. B. C. and the
Hilltop A. c., of New York, was a
sizzler. Palisade lost by the score
Of to 4, Logan in the box with Lou
Perraud catching. 1t took ten innings
to decide the contest. Logan had the
visitors at his mercy for seven innings
without hit, though wild throw
to third in the sixth let in a run by
Perraud. He did the same thing in
the eighth, throwing to second, Wohl-
hagan scoring on hit and a steal
and the wild throw to second. In the
ninth Logan let down somewhat, when
a hit to right by Blair and field
er's choice to Lusher, put two on.
Goemann tried to catch Blair at sec
ond, but threw wild, and late. He
should have retired the runner at
first. The next man struck out, Fan
ming got hit by the ball, filling the
bags. Then Weiner singled to left
and two came in. The next man
struck out-all out. Two runs, two
hits, two errors. In their half of the
ninth Palisade could not score, going
out one, two, three. In the tenth,
Wohlhagan started things with
three Dagger to left, Martin got
Texas Lacquer to left, Wohlhagan
scoring on wild throw by Perraud
to stop Wohlhagan, who was playing
off the base, going to third, and scor-
ing the next moment on Blair's sacri-
flee to left. Palisade got two hits in
the tenth, but two flies and a put out
at third cut them off.
1t was tough game to lose, con-
sidering the facts of the case. Pail
SADIE got thirteen hits to five, but
sharp fielding by the Hilltops kept
down the scoring. But for the three
errors by Perraud, Palisade would
have won anyhow. The Hilltops are
mostly players of the Dewitt Clinton
High School, and are about as much
up to snuff on baseball as any team
that ever played in Palisade. Their
infeld was dandy, and the same
must be said of the outfeld. The
pitching was mediocre, as the hit
column shows. Few games with
Ii to hits are seldom taken by the
minority side.
Logan pitched splendid ball-as
good as was ever seen here, till dis
couraged by his mates. Then, too,
two Texas leaguers were allowed to
fall safe, which should have been
taken handily. Logan made four
hits in four times up, one of them
scratch. Then, too, he coached on
