Saved by Mothers Spirit

One evening, a short time after my
mother died, was walking along a
lonely road near our home when a
young man approached and asked the
way to certain street. AS we were
both going the same way we walked
along together until we came to the
crossroads. stopped to give him
further directions. Suddenly he seized
me and tried to force me into the tall
bushes which bordered the road. /
struggled frantically, but he pulled me
to the ground and was dragging me
backward. Suddenly 1 felt my moth
er's presence beside me, although 1
saw nothing. Just then my assailant
looked up. Without a word he dropped
me and ran down the road-and out Of
sight as fast as he could go.-Chicago
Journal.

Defeats Freehold

The largest crowd that ever attend
ed baseball game at the Hollywood
show grounds witnessed one of the
most interesting diamond battles Of
the season on Sunday when the Nor
wood niue defeated the Freehold club
by a score Of 5 to 1. More than 2,50D
people enjoyed the contest despite
the fact that the County Seaters went
down to defeat contrary to expecta-
ton Of the majority present.
Boylan who toad the slab for the
Norwoods pitched excellent ball and
was given alright support. He should
have registered shutout except for
one bad break in the game which
permit d the heavy hitting Freehold
ers to score their only run. That oc-
cured III the eight inning when Lloy-
ed attempted to stop a hand hit
q ound ball off Werder's bat which
took bad bounce and struck LlYod
in the face. lad this not occurred, it
is quite likely a double play would
have resulted, Williams scored, how
ever. on Moulton's fielder's choice
Frankenfield led the Norwoods with
four hits in as many times at bat and
he also played great game in the
field Egbert played a good game and
and secured two hits while Baylan
never got himself in any trouble.
Two spectacular catches were made in
the field by Egbert and Teddy
Werder PLAYED fast game at third
for Freehold and secured two Of the
teams ur hits Moulton and Meyers
each secured one while Lukens played
snappy ball at second.
The result of the game gave the
Norwoods the lead in the Big Four
series for the county title. O'Gurk was
sent in by Manager Vanderveer to
oppose the Long Branch sluggers but
ne was touched for nine safe hits which
resulted in 10 bases. Deboskey made a
great catch in the third inning Of Egg
bert'sfoul in back for first base.
Turnout the game both teams play
ed the game with plenty Of fight and
every man was on his toes the moment
a bali was hit. But one error was recorded
and that against O'Gurk.
