resulted in the Dublin Glee Club base
ball team Of this city going down to
defeat before the Elizabeth Knights
of Columbus baseball nine ON the
latter's BctyssOwn diamond yesrse-
day afternoon. The final score was
40.
The fact that eleven Dublins were
stranded on the paths explains the
n;anne in which Dooley pitched In

lected by the visitors, one a triple
by G. Zehrer. The hits, however.
were scattered over seven innings

famed four batters, and his success
or was touched for two safeties and

err did not fan a batter. Two of the
runs were made during Oldenboom's
stay on the hill, the third was sent
over in the sixth.
The Caseys registered their first
run in the fourth inning. Beutet

HIGH SCHOOL
TEAM BEATEN
Amboy Independents Bow to
Metuchen Representative
Nine on Borough Field

The Perth Ambey High School In
dependents stepped out of their class
Saturday afternoon when they went
to Metuchen and hooked up with the
Metuchen A. c. nine and were de-
feated by an 81 score. The visi-
tors would have been shut out had
not Ten Eyck let up for a while and
allowed the Amboyans two hits at
one time. The borough twirler al
lowed the high school boys five hits
in the nine innings of play, two COM
ing in the last canto.
In the first session it looked as
though the visitors would score as
Larson singled and went all the way
to third where he was marooned as
the inning ended. The home team
scored in the second as c.. Drake
singled and e. Drake tripled to CEN
ter. When the fifth inning rolled
around 1t looked as though the game
would be one of those old fashioned
pitchers battles but -four hits and
two errors gave the home team four
counters. The homesters had another
big inning in the eighth when more
errors and only one hit gave them
three runs, all earned. c. Drake and
Noe each secured three hits, several
of the fluke variety.
The former Crimson and White
boys threatened to score several
times but two double plays cut short
the rallies. Good baseball was at
times exhibited by the visitors who
although entirely outclassed gave a
good account OF themselves against
the older and mere experienced Me-
tuchenites. Ten Eyck was in great
form as he struck out twelve. The
Perth nine got to him in the last
frame when Nedswicki singled, Fem
nessey walked and Seaman's hit gave
them a run. Seaman got three of
the teams five hits.
