C. team, of Clifton Heights, Journeyed to this borough on Saturday afternoon and in a slug-ging match tasted defeat at the hands of the Pastime club, by tbe close score of 21-20. At the start It looked ns though Pastime would win In a canter, the visitors going out In one. two .three order In the flrst Inn-ing, while the locals piled up four runs In the next Inning Tommy Pope went "ballooning" and after the visitors had tied the score "Bar-ney" Evans assumed the position on the firing line, but could not check the visitors batting streak, which con tinned until three more runs had crossed the plate. The locals made another killing In their half of the second nnd ran their score up to 11. Evans held his opponents safe until the seventh Inning when his sup-port became rotten and the visitors came within one run of tlelng the score at 17. From then until the end of the game the scoring was even, each side making four runs. A very unpleasant feature was a row that was kicked up on account of a half-grown boy refusing lo keep out of the way of the players, thereby com-pelling Manager Pope to use atrenous efforts to put him back. The manage-ment should extend a rope from first to third base around ths home plate and allow no one who Is not in the game Inside. If such an arrange-ment could be made It would not In-leretere with the spectators' view snd would afford a much better op-portunity for the catchers to see the men on first and third bane and also more room to run for foul fllea. .II'RY WAS ALL SMILES The June Grand Jury made Its pre- ■ eminent on Saturday.
