REVIEW OF NJ. S. P. BALL SEASON

closed. he locals career came to an end
on the above date by fighting out the issue
with local substitute team. By winning
this game on a very small margin, it gave
them a total of sixteen games won, ten
games lost and one tie game for the sea-
sons performance.
During the season the locals played
twenty-six games with outside teams Most
of them were of the semi professional class
from St. Paul and Minneapolis. AS mat
ter of fact the locals have had very sue
cessful season. Any team that closes the
season with percentage of .615 must be
pretty good team.
The local aggregation started out in the
season with the makings of an unbeatable
team. Just at the time the team was get
ting whipped into shape, it began to meet
with disaster, if not one thing it was some
thing else. First, one of its leading pitchers
refused to play on account of jealousy.
Another star player was Immediately ban
ished from the game through adverse cir
cumstances, causing the team to be woe
fully weakened. Just as the team was get
ting back upon its feet, it suffered the worst
calamity that could befall any team, viz,
lose its pitcher. That's what happened to
the locals in the mid-season, but each and
every player rejoiced in his going for he
went to the outside world to play the game
of citizenship. He more than made good
on the local staff as pitcher and it's
safe bet that he is more than making good
in his new fields of endeavor On his re-
tirement from the game, the locals lost two
more star players through discord and it
was several weeks before they returned to
the game again. In the meantime, Cap
was pushed to the limit in rounding up
recruits, especially so in pitching talent.
He finally landed pitcher that piloted
the boat to safety and successful season.
The first game of the season was played
with the Saltwater All Stars on April 18th.
This was tie game, the score being II to
IL, in an eight inning contest. The locals
took the game of May 9th, but dropped the
games of May 18th and May goth. Be-
ginning with the May 9th game the To-
Gals won every game played, until July
9th. The Hudson railway shopmen from
Hudson, Wis.,, were the boys who plucked
the berries on that date and brought the
local tribe down out of the 800 per cent
class. The next game on July 18th was
won from the Whitaker Paper Co., but the
following game on July 22nd was dropped
to the Hookem Cows from South St. Paul.
On July 18th the locals hooked the St. Paul
Union Depot tribe for 16 to 9 victory
and on August 5th, they copied another
from the Paine Weber Co. club from St.
Paul. August 18th saw the St. Paul Fire
and Marine Insurance Co. from St. Paul
trim the locals to the tune of to 8. How
ever, the locals got sweet revenge on
August 10Th when they took a lopsided
victory from the Hookem Cows from South
St. Paul. South Saltwater came on August
10th and the following Saturday, Septem-
Der End and they were very successful in
giving the locals two setbacks in a row.
On Labor Day, September 4th, the local
club was given another trimming by the
Tenth Ward Athletics from Minneapolis.
Then on September 9th the locals took a
lopsided victory from the Wander Bies Ice
Cream Co. from St. Paul and they copied
the game of September 10Th from the St.
Paul Builders Exchange. They bumped up
against serious proposition when the
Great Northern Glacier Park baseball
team took them in tow and handed out
7 to defeat. But the locals came back
and handed the St. Paul City Railway Co.
IL to defeat on the following Saturday.
September 30th Then on October 9TH the
Hudson Railway Shopmen made their
third visit here during the season and as
usual they went home with the long end
of the count. This defeat left the locals
