Cliffside Oxfords
Again Cleanup

With new field in the field they
walloped the Jersey Yanks, trimming
them by the score of to 2.
E. Greer in the box for the Oxfords,
showed his usual good form, and al
though in tight place several times,
came out alright with the aid of his
clever team mates, only allowing one
base on balls.
Tony Wunch, as back stop, lived up
to his reputation by slamming the
ball at the right time, and holding
the opponents to the bases like Lee
Pages.
Taking all in all the Oxfords
showed rather spirited form and dug
into the Yanks like they do to all
other teams.
On next Sunday, May %, the Ok
fords will try out the Jersey Athletics
at the Cliffside Fairgrounds. The
game will be opened by the dedication
of fine new grandstand.

Harry Harper In
The Limelight

Hackensack's baseball fans were a
bit jubilant last Tuesday over the
notice of our Harry "South" Harper's
wonderful victory over the Chicago
White Sox on Monday. The New
York World headline reads thus:
Harper Pitches Senators to Front.
Only Twenty-nine White Sox Face
Young Twirler, Who Allows Four
Hits and No Runs During Came"
The reading notice goes this way:
Washington, May 22.-Harry Har-
per, Clarke Grifith's young left
handler, pitched the Senators into the
lead in the American League pennant
chase, here, this afternoon, by beat
ing the Chicago White Sox by 2 to
0, while the Cleveland Indians were
bowling to the rejuvenated Athletics
in Philadelphia.
Harper pitched his best game of
the season, only twenty-nine of the
visitors facing him during the con-
test. Four hits were all that the
southpaw yielded, and as there were
scattered the Sox had no chance to
score. Harper's control was almost
perfect, and he did not issue a
single pass"

The Fort Lee Athletics crossed
bats with the Mirror Film last Sun
day and easily defeated them by a
score of Is to 10.
The Athletics scored 10 runs the
first inning and thereafter were never
in much danger of losing until the
ninth inning, when the Mirrors scored
several runs, but the Fort Lee boys
then frightened up and shut off fur

''Our New Minister
AT Hudson Theatre

Next week will be presented to Hud-
son playgoers "Our New Minister"
by Denman Thompson, the man who,
by his delightful portrayal of "The
Old Homestead" has so endeared him
self to the theater-going public of
America that it is difficult to think of
a New England play without asso-
ciating it with his name.
In "Our New Minister" all the
charm that characterized "The Old
Homestead" has been retained and
the result is a play of New England
life that is true to the soil and as
pure as the mountain streams.
1t is constructed on simple lines
and deals with the lives of the people
of little New England village. They

are old-fashioned and puritanical in

it very hard to reconcile their views

down to them by their forefathers.
Lem Ransom, who has been convicted
and sentenced for crime of which he
is innocent, returns to his home and
the minister Immediately sets to work
to clear his name, and fasten the
crime on the man who is guilty.
While he is engaged in this task he
falls in love with the convict's daugh-
ter, and the whole village becomes
wrought up over the matter. Of
course everything comes out right in
the end. The guilty man is discover
ed and punished, and the minister is
justified and happy. The play is an
admirable one. The dialogue is ma

Baseball

initiated against him in the sixth
inning, when three free hits and two
errors got in the deal and three runs
flashed over the home plate. After
that there was only one other tally
scored, and only one hit more. Paul
had speed and all the curves neces-
sary to puzzle all of the best hitters
c. M. S. brought along, and they
have some good stick talent. In the
eighth Brinkerman got life on a
hard hit to Brady, who threw wild to
Goemann, and the batter went to
third, and came home when Wier got
first on a fielder's choice, and came in
when Watson hit to the box again,
and Brinkerman got home on the
play because Brady threw very wild
to Perraud at the plate and the run
counted easily.
McClatchy, also, pitched very fine
ball, but had the heart taken out of
him by poor playing, and the errors
OF his team at critical moments. He
is by no means an Indifferent boxman,
and is bound to give good account
OF himself for the season, with little
better control. He had speed to burn,
and had some of the Palisadians
guessing.
Ruckenbrod, a dashing, heady
player, was in this game, getting
two hits and sacrifice, and fielding
his position perfectly except once
when ball rolled between his legs;
but it did not cost anything. Maruchi,
too, put up sterling good ball, making
three runs and two hits, besides get
ting. some beautiful stops at short.
He has all of the elements of a good
ball player, and is bound to make his
mark on the diamond. Logan at
third, was again balance for the in
field, though playing with badly
disabled left hand. He batted like
himself, also, and had four hits, two
singles and two doubles, and one run.
He started the ball rolling in the
third inning by banging out the ball
when Perraud and Brady had gotten
on the paths, bringing in both run
ners, and himself scoring when Hayek
singled to center, bringing in Maruchi,
also. Stewart did not have much to
do, though he got one fly in center.
He did not carry his batting eye,
either. Hayek batted we'll, but got
hurt, and was not himself by any
means. Catcher Perraud displayed
himself as one of the best players
anywhere. He has a wing on him
that is wonderful, and nipped several
men at second, and holding the rest,
because they were afraid to go down.
Goemann did well, as usual at first,
while Inninger got hit and run.
Goemann got a three Dagger and
scored twice.
Taking the game as whole, it was
interesting, and showed l lsaaae to
good advantage. G. M. S., also, did
not altogether play bad ball, though
errors were numerous on both sides.

1riangles Lose
To Highwood

The Triangle Club baseball team
travelled over to Highwood last Sat-
urday and received their first beat
ing of the year by a score of to O.
The Triangles have now lost one and
won two games.
The game was featured by High
woods pitcher, Onderdonk, who al
lowed but two cratch hits. Onder-
donk is without doubt the easiest
pitcher the club has faced this year,
and although he allowed but two hits
he was hit quite freely. It cannot
be accounted for after the team OBJ
tanned thirteen hits from the pitcher
of the Gramercy Club, two weeks
ago, and being able to obtain but
two. It was undoubtedly an off day
for the local boys.
The team was somewhat handi-
capped by the absence of Aimone,
who was kept away on account of
an automobile accident. Herschler,
lnh Shfside. High, who did the pitch
Triangles, was supported
but wa hit quite freely! y
1t was hard to lose the game Satur-
day, especially for Herschler, consid-
ering the way he worked.
The Triangle Club will travel to
Hackensack to-day and tackle the
fast Social Service Club of that town.

TOM AIKEN MAKES
 A NEW DISCOVERY

DAWSON.-Word has been receiv- ed from Mayo by mail and through mushers who have just arrived that Tom Aitken has struck a richer chute of ore on the Silver King property than any he had there heretofer, and is making splendid progress getting out the ore.
 Edward Weston Burnell, who mushed in this week from Mayo, and got away yesterday for Ireland, to en- list, said:
 "The Aitken silver ore looks better than ever. Aitken has fifteen men working, and they are taking out half g load more a day than they had ex- pected to do. Twelve tons of the ore are being shipped daily.
 Aiken is one of the hardest work CTS in his camp. He gets right down in the shaft with the boys, and sets the upace all day with the pick, and goes like a whirlwind.
 "The ore is being hauled thirty miles, to Mayo Landing, for shipment to the shelter by steamer>when the river opens."-Ex.
