entS Yesterday, LIS.
III. S. Correspondent

Flag Day was dttingly observed
by the local high school base nan
ear yesterday afternoon when they
travelled 10 Woodbridge for the re-
turn game of the series and raised
the Crimson and White triumph
antly over the Red and Black OF the
township lads By the score OF i1-o.
The game was originally scheduled
t. be played this afternoon but when
the local management found cut
that Neptune high is 10 be played
tomorrow instead of next week the
game was hastily arranged for yes
terday afternoon. In fact not wen
all the players knew about the con-
test as Wils5n, a pitcher. n VIII
ner. a catcher, were used in the out
field by PROF Dvourchack.
Nuns Nedswieki, who is schedu-
led to pitch tomorrow at Neptune
was on the hilltop and took Things
easy, letting the Woodbridgers hit
at will to his teammates. he had an
easy time tanning the up-iine nine,
so easy that after he had struck out
the first six to face him he decided
TO give the homesters a chance Al
though they reached him for nine
hits they were widely scattered, with
the majority of them coming in the
fourth and seventh spasms. Amboy
on the other hand hit the ball hard
and secured seventeen hits of the
combined offerings of Hoagland, who
was knocked off the mound in the
sixth, and Schoonover, who relieved
Hoagland. Neither one was effec-
tive once the heavy hitting artillery
of the visitors got into action.
The locals started to get runs in
the first inning when they accounted
for one counter, then another in the
next; two in the fifth and last but
not least. seven runs in the sixth.
In the hectic sixth canto the Grim
soners staged a merry-go-round. SO
fast came the hits that the scorers
had a hard time keeping track Of
them. In this inning singles by Lar
son, Wilmer, Wilson, Westerfield,
Rhodes, Fenessey's double and Mar
tins walk gave the locals seven
runs Wilson, Fenessey and Wester-
field came up twice in this inning.
Woodbridge got its runs in the
fourth, sixth and seventh nearly al
ways with two out. Woodbridge
pulled off three double plays and
showed some smart baseball in do
ing so.
The surprise of the day was the
batting Of Eliot Wilson, the kid
pitcher on the local staff, who play
ed in left field yesterday. He lean
ed on the ball for three singles and
all counted in the scoring. Besides
these hits he made a shoe string
catch of a liner in the third inning
In the same inning Seaman ran al
the way around the home teams
bench and caught a foul fly after 6
hard run. Captain Bill Rhodes was
a shining light in the fnfield as
usual making several neat pickups
and throwing to first for an out.
Hoagland and Schoonover were
the only ones to get more than one
hit off the deliveries of Nedswicki.
The former got three hits out of four
chances while Schoonover laced out
two long doubles. Rotello in center
field made two catches in the last
inning yesterday that were sure
homers. catching them on the run
and in his gloved hand.
The Crimson and White base
ballers will play their most impor-
tant game of the season tomorrow
afternoon at Bradley Beach where
they will meet the Neptune high
nine in a game to see who gets Sec
tional honOrs.
