A low throw to first base with two
down in the ninth inning enabled the
Aquehongas Of Tottenville to score
their third and winning run in an
engagement with the Dublin Glee
club nine of this city on the Totem
Vile field yesterday afternoon. The
final score was 3-2.
This was the second game of a
series between the two teams, the
Dublins having won the first. Aicer
Jensen, local southpaw hurler, had
the better of a pitching duel with
Austin Hornsby Of the Aquehongas in
yesterdays contest but errors by his
teammates were responsible for his
downfall +.
Jensen allowed five widely scatter
ed hits. each in the fifth. seventh
and eighth innings, and two in the
ninth. He famed ten batters and
walked five. while Hornsby famed
three and issued nary a pass. The
T%ottenville hurler was touched for
nine safeties, including a homer and
two doubles by Benny Glof.
The Dublins drew first blood in
the second when Gloff clouted the
PHI OfSI the lS1l ACA4 ASAOC. 4AAC
score was evened in the fourth, G.
Nesley receiving a pass, going to
second on a steal and scoring on
Zerher's error in left field.
Sheehan's warriors again took the
lead in the eighth. Crate made an
error on Mack's grounder, the run
ner was advanced to second on a
sacrifice and scored on Gloff's dou-
BILE. Gloff's error started the home
team in the last Of the ninth and
after Crate famed, c. Nesley forced
the lead off man of the inning. Mes
ley went to third on Hornsbys single
and scored on Paugh's one timer,
Hornsby going to third. Lyons
grounded to Mack who threw low
to first, allowing Hornsby TO tally.
Paugh led the winning team with
the willow, while Glof was the bat
ting stsS for the visitors. Crate. G.
Nesley and Abrogast starred on the
defense for the Aquehongas, and

ELIZABETH 9 STRONG

played, Matty Waite, popular sports
man of Betsytown, will throw out
the first ball. He win also do the
umpiring in all games of this series.
If a five game series is arranged, the
fans of the two towns can depend
that the series will go the entire
number as both teams are about
evenly matched, even more so than
in former years when the police had
some bitter battles.
Through the acquisition of Jack
Egan, well known local ball tosser,
the local police nine has been
strengthened considerably. He will
play third base in all contests this
season, and Molly and Zalari will do
the hurting. Molly, the South Am
boy diamond veteran, is the captain
of the local police nine this season.
Bob Luft, popular Betsytown
chauffeur, is coaching the diamond
representatives of the Elizabeth de-
partment, and his point giving abil-
ity will be given a real test in the
annual series. The Elizabeth nine
has several dependable men on its
staff for this summer.
Manager Seiboth has several big
games carded for his team o the
next several weeks.

Bill Rudy of Bayonne, shortsop
of the Perth Amboys, played a lead
ing part in the GA victory scored
by his team over the Union club of
Lodi, n. j. on the Raritan Copper
works field yesterday afternoon. The
Lodi representatives, despite the alb
sence of their ex-league southpaw
pitching star, Harry Harper, gave
P%oulsen's tossers a real battle. The
non-appearance of Harper is ex-
planned in another column.
The shortfield man made a double
and a home run in four trips to the
plate and handled six out of seven
chances at his position. In the fifth
he retired the last two batters by
sensational stops and Menegus, lead
off man in the sixth, was robbed of
a hit when the Bayonne ball tosser
made a leaping, gloved hand catch.
Rudy made the putout in the ninth
inning which killed the visitors
chance to knot the score.
Daugherty, former Scranton, Pa.
resident, was on the mound for the
locals and was in usual form. He al
lowed eight well scattered hits, walk
ed three batters and famed five. The
Union club batters made two safe
ties in the first and one each in the
recond, third, fourth, sixth, seventh
and ninth innings.
Opposed to the Scranton hurler
was Field Manager Butterworth of
the Union club. AS a substitute,
Butterworth, was in excellent form,
holding/the hard hitting local com
bine to nine safeties, seven of which
were laced out in the fourth and
fifth innings. Butterworth famed
three men and walked the same
number,
Aside from the showing made by
Rudy, there were many sensa-
tional features in yesterdays tilt.
Field Manager Burnett contributed
several fielding gems and made Two
hits, n OF which was a bunt OF
his favorite type. Eddie Einhorn,
formerly of the Plainfie.d Recrea-
tions,, Red Bank Orioles and teams
of like strength, was in right field
and although kept idle in right
garden collected three hits in four
trips to the plate Reynolds and
Menegus were the stars for the Lodi
team in the field and at the bat,
making five of the hits credited TO
thier outfit
Visitors Start
In the first inning after the first
batter had singled yer the first
sack and was caught stealing, and
Ingue was thrown out at first. Men

second after two errors and a sin

Lodi was easy in the third but
counted it's second tally in the
fourth as a result of a single, sacri-
flee, a. nout and an error by Loesar.
The crack local left garden man

are therefore excusable. Good

HARPER WITH
P|ERNONT NINE
Personally Made Contract for
More Money Prevents Ap-
pearance Here Yesterday

The action of Southpaw Harry
Harper, former New York Yankee
and Brooklyn Dodger, in falling to
fulfill an agreement with the Union
club, Of Lodi, N. J., to pitch against
the Perth Amboys here yesterday
afternoon was a bitter disappoint-
ment not alone to the local mana
ger and fans. but also to the man
ager, players and fans of the Lodi
organization.
An announcement in the Bergen
Evening Record of Saturday night
which was presented to Manager
Poulsen Of the local outfit yester-
day, is to the effect that the south
paw hurler reached a decision on
Saturday to pitch for the Piermont
nine against Nyack yesterday. 1t is
aid considerable money was bet on
this contest, and the former Lacquer
decided on pitching for the team af-
ter receiving a big win or lose Of

ton for close to three weeks, but the
story in the Bergen paper takes the
blame from the shoulders of the
local manager. This is just one of

ing magnate, especially when a form
er big league baseball player is be-

the action of Harper in turning down
Lodi in this manner. will result in
the Lodi fans being against the
pitcher for all time.
