Bunchcd Bingles Put Over
Two Runs for the Bears
in Jersey City

Bunched hits in the third period o.
yesterdays game between Newark and
Jersey City on the latter's grounds
yielded pair of tallies for the Bears,
the only scores of the contest. The
Bruins stung Waldbauer's twisters for
six wallops. Ogden heN the Skeeters
to four safeties. Sensational catches
by Wheeler, Of the Shelters, and
Jacobs, of Newark, featured the field
ing, which was of the gilt-edged order
on both sides.
After tanning Jacobs in the start of
the third frame Pitcher Waldbauer
gave the Bears an opening by passing
Rommell to first. Shay slipped in a
clean single to centre, but was forced
a moment later by Downey's grounder
to short. With Rommell on third, Sid
Gathers shot hot liner through the
box and Rommell carried home the
bacon. Stansbury's hard drive to CEN
ire sent Downey home.
Swigler raised short fly beyond sec
ond, which Wheeler nailed inches from
the turf, completing somersault in
doing it.

Marcia Makes
astest irne
In Boat Race

Weather conditions were anything
but ideal for the annual open race of
the Motor Boat Club of Jamaica Bay
yesterday The sky was overcast and
the rain of the early morning killed
practically all of the breeze. AS re-
suit, the sailing divisions had consid-
cradle trouble in going around a short
ened course. The conditions were bet
ter for the motor boats, which had ex-
cellent brushes in all classes.
Owing to the fact that the ratings
were not known by Commodore Yen
Ter, chairman of the race committee,
there is strong possibility that the
positions of the yachts will be changed
when the committee receives the nee
essary data to figure the corrected
times. On actual time the winner in
the open catboat class was the Marcia,
while the Clara May was the first home
in the class for cabin catboats and
sloops.
w. Kruger's Siren was the first of
the power cruisers across the finish
line. In the speedboat division the
Sunnyside III again led home the fleet.
Among the open power boats the win
ner on actual time was the Margaret.
the property of w. Sullivan.
