The fast Willard team, though de-
feated thrice by Mgr COoper's ag-
gressive diamond pastimers, together
with a number Of rooters from their
home town up State, journeyed to
Newark imbued with the idea that
they had a chance to turn the tables
on the undefeated team which is
going over the top and capturing
everything in the path. But the boys
and their friends were sent back home
with a five to two defeat.
Though the Willard team played
hard all through the game, never
loosing heart at any time, they were
held in check by superior team work,
and the mastery pitching of Mr..
Pollok, with his deceptive twisters
and dazzling speed did much to ere
ate dismay among the visitors.
While every man on both teams
did his utmost to bring victory to his
team, the most spectacular plays Of
the game were staged by Smith and
Fitzpatrick, of Newark. Smith at
third and little Fitz in center, recalls
to the memory Of the old time fans
the days of the O. & P. league when
Ivor Ratten and Al Switzer romped
around their stations killing sure hits
and breaking the hearts Of opposing
batsmen.
In Wizards half of the second in
ming Miller sent a low Texas Lacquer
to short left center, which looked like
sure hit, but Fitz, the midget
fielder and idol of the Newark fans,
came in on high speed, picked the
sphelic horse-hide off his shoe string
and tossed it to Pollick, while the
great crowds rocked the stands with
tumultuous applause.
In the first half of the fourth
Moore drove liner at the third pill
low which Smith scOoped in and made
a great throw to first. Huston, the
next man, duplicated Moore's drive,
only a little harder, but the fleet
footed pipe filter pounced on it, thus
killing what looked like two sure
doubles and a run.
