teresting. was 1913.
The so-called female star accep-
ted nine chances at the initial sack
and made one hit in four trips to

mound for the Dogs and allowed
eight hits in his eve inning stay,

and two singles. McAuliffe, local
center fielder, was robbed of a right
held fence home run by a decision
of Umpire Joe Kelly. The ball went
over about eight inches to the left
OF the flag and was called foul. He
returned to the plate and hit a triple.
Train trouble which occurred in
Woodbridge about 2:30 o'clock was
blamed for the failure of the game
to start until 4:02 o'clock and a good
sized crowd was uneasy waiting for
the beginning of hostilities.
Field Manager Burnett and Smith
took care of the first three batters
to start the game and the locals were
also easy in their half. In the Sec
ond Maggie Riley whose right name
is said to be Stella Friss, made her
initial appearance at the plate. 1t

Amboy ven out in order in the
second. two men tanning the breeze
although the visitors got two men
on the bags in the first of the third,
a pass and the allowing of a ball
to fall between two outielders, a
good play by Rudy ended the in
ming. In the last of the third a
pass, single and a clout by Burnett
which should have been an easy out
but went for a triple, allowed the To-
Gals to tally three times. Burnett's
three base smack was followed by
McAuliffe's single for the third en-
counter.
A double play, Rudy to Smith,

Brownmiller for the third out was
questionable, also the umpire's de-
cision at first on Stinson, the first
man up for Amboy in the last of
the sixth. The locals were retired
with Isl in the latter inning.
Miss Riley led off with a single
