seen that the rain had dealt a knock
out blow to the afternoons program.

thony game was scheduled to have
played the Perth Amboy team in
the second game.
At T~ottenville, the Aquehonga nine
and the Panama Red Sox. a colored
nine from Panama, were preparing
for their game, when the rain inter-
vened. Likewise, were the Pioneer

Crack Union County Team is
Defeated in Last Inning
Rally Score, Ga
[By Evening News Correspondent

KEASBEY, Aug. 15.-By a whirl-
wind finish the Keasbey +. G. again
defeated the crack Railway baseball
club at Railway. Saturday afternoon.
The score was 6 to 4. Playing an
uphill game almost until the end,
the K~easbeyites displayed their real
worth and played one of the best
games of the season.
The score does not signify that the
Railway club was badly trounced but
several runs were wasted by the VIC
tors.
In the ninth inning Milchick got
hold of a fas one and clouted it for
a home run, Smalley being on sec
ond base, but was called out for
failing to touch second base.
"Maxy" Wagenhoffer was in his
best form and had the Railway bat
tiers at his mercy throughout the
game. He only allowed five well
scattered hits, struck out four and
gave n free pass to first.
Three pitchers were used by the
Railway team and each one was
humbled by the mauling Keasbeyites.
1t was a great day for the local bat
tiers. for fourteen hits were smashed
out. Milchick featured with four out
of five trips to the plate. Sullivan
and Lovas each got two. Every
keasbey player secured a safe bingle.
Keasbey opened the fireworks in
the second inning when n run
crossed the plate on Milchick's dou-
BILE, followed by singles by Sullivan
and Lovas.
No more scoring came until the
sixth when Railway took the lead
with three runs. Brady was given a
pass to start the inning. With
eridge sent a hot liner through the
pitchers box after Smith grounded
u and Brady scored. Brady scored
on an infield out after Mesick was
safe on a fielder's choice. Mesick
later scored when Schultz singled.
Keasbey same right back in the
seventh and added one more run but
still not enough to tie the core.
Singles by Lovas and Hippenstill
netted this n run.
Then came the glorious eighth
when two uns put the local club in
the lead, but only for one half Of an
inning.
Five consecutive hits in this stanza
started the rally which won the game
in the last inning. Railway again tied
the score in the eighth with n tai
ly.
The Keasbey rally continued in the
last inning when two more run
crossed the plate. Railway went to
pieces in this inning, making two
costly misplays.
The followers of the Keasbey team
are highly elated over the victory
Saturday and are now clamoring for
a game with the Amboys. 1t is prob
able that both managers will get
together for the purpose of arrang-
ing for such a game in the near flu
ture.
Keasbey defeated Railway earlier
in the eason by a of s to 2.
Railway overwhelmed Amboy sew
eral weeks ago by a 20 to 4 score
and was also beaten recently by the
same team in a close game, which
ended 3 to /.
Kelly umpired the game in his
usual pleasing style.
