LANDINGS WIN
FROM SAINTS
Local Senior Team Defeated by
County Seaters Sunday

The st. Anthonys went to New
Brunswick Sunday afternoon and
were defeated by q score of SO by
the last Landing A. c., of that place.
One of the features of the game
was Leary's twirling. He held Her
man, the fast third baseman Of the
Mfchelin team, without a~hit in his
five times at bat, four Of which were
strikeouts.
Spille, of the county seat nine, was
the big feather at the stick, while
Galbert Of the Saints led in this de-
partment, securing two hits, one a
~three-base wallop.
Handerhan brothers and Maloney
were the stars in the field.
Yenk, well known catcher for the
Saints of yore, received a split finger
In the sixth chapter and was taken
to the st. Peters Hospital for treat
ment. Yenk up to the time of his
accident was catching q great game.
Dave Halbert, who replaced him, was
also In fine ''fettle."
The B~runswfckites were strength
ened a bit with the addition of Her.
an from the Michelins, Jake Denizer
of the Providence team, Holman Of
the India Rubber nine, Smith and
6pille, two old timers.
The defeat Sunday has evened up
things between h two crews. Early
in the season the st. Anthonys best
ed the Landings.
Leary, who should have won the
struggle. was treated a little rough
by his teammates who booted the
Spalding about the lot in several
costly errors. In the fourth Leary
stopped q fast liner fresh from
Spille's bat with his chest, which put
him out for several moments but he
gamely returned to the struggle q
few minutes later.
This is the closing game for the
ST. Anthonys this season. Maloney's
All Stars will finish the schedule of
the Saints and in all probabilities
there will be a return match between
the Landings and Maloney's All Stars
to break the tie.
