The Clifton A. 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.
