"Thursday Millville will go to Atlantic City and try conclusions with the Bacharach Giants for the fourth time this season. The series stands 2 and 1 in favor of the resort club and it is admitted that its a tough proposition to wallop Jackson's crowd at Inlet Park.

"Millville Rally was One Shy - Threw Scare Into Bacharach Giants in the Ninth - But Could Only Chase Two Over - Cashman Hit Home run in the Fourth But There Was Nobody On the Bases. - Millvilee's ninth inning rally rell one run shy of evening the figures with the Bacharach Giants at Inlet Park yesterday the final count showing the figures 4 to 3 against them. With Helfrich on third and two down, Hopkins made a valiant effort to clout the old pill to safe territory. He raised a high fly that dropped into Elias Brown's glove over near the right field foul line. Harkness had a similar opportunity just before him, but John Henry Lloyd scooped his roller and tossed him out at first. It was a big chance to lose, but the boys did their best and failed. 'Rube' Cashman raised the stands when he crashed one of Frank Wickware's fast ones over the left field fence in the fourth inning, tying up the score. The ball sailed away over the electric wires. It was a terrific wallop and it was a shame the bases weren't loaded. Millville played a rather listless game in comparison to the exhibition put up against the Brooklyn Royal Giants Wednesday evening. The boys could not get goint right and enacted a number of misplays that helped considerably in their downfall. Howard pitched good enough ball to win. He allowed eight hits, one half of them being obtained by Ben Taylor, but he made one terrible mistake. In the fourth with two down he walked the pitcher on four pitched balls. Spotswood Poles, the next man up, whaled a single to right that counted two of them. That was his tough inning. The Scoring - Spotswood Poles walked in the first. Helfrich threw badly on George Shively's bunt and both were safe. Handy fanned John Henry Lloyd hit to Peterson who threw to Hopkins, getting Spotswood Poles at the plate. Ben Taylor singled, scoring George Shively. Elias Brown was tossed out by Seiferman. In the fourth with one down, Rube Cashman hit over the left field fence for the circuit. In their half, Ben Taylor lead off with a hit. Elias Brown also hit safely. Howard played Fred Hutchinson's bunt to Seiferman, retiring Elias Brown. Ernest Gatewood lined to Nelson. Howard pitched four straight balls to Frank Wickware, loading the bases. Spotswood Poles singled sharply to right, scoring Ben Taylor and Fred Hutchinson. George Shively fanned. In the fifth Ned Robinson dropped Bill Handy's fly. John Henry Lloyd bunted and Rube Cashman tossed the ball to Howard retiring him at first. Ben Taylor singled for the third time, scoring Bill Handy. Elias Brown flied to Ned Robinson. Fred Hutchinson walked. Ernest Gatewood flied to Harkness. In the ninth Nelson popped to John Henry Lloyd. Rube Cashman drew a pass, so did Seiferman. Helfrich singled, scoring Rube Cashman. Harkness hit to John Henry Lloyd, who threw him out, Seiferman scoring. Hopkins lifted a high fly to Elias Brown."

"Poor Baseball Lost for Millville - Bacharach Giants Took Another Game at Inlet Park. - Play Here This Afternoon. - Steinader Wild and His Support Was Rocky at Critical Stages. - Millville dropped the second game in a row to the Bacharach Giants at the Inlet Ball Park, Atlantic City, yesterday. The score was 5 to 1. Inferior ballplaying lost the fracas. Millville failed to reveal any of the aggressive energy which has stamped the team's playing of late and doing the wrong thing an inopportune times went a long way in bringing about yesterday's downfall. 'Ray' Stenader was wild and that had something to do with the tallies that came early in the game and his failure to cover first in the eighth round made it possible to obtain the last two. Everybody on the Millville club appeared to have an off day, with the possible exception of Peterson, who put up a sensational game at short, and most of all, they were unable to do anything with Wickware's slow ball pitching. He held them hitless until the sixth when Steinader finally poled a single over short. 'Rube' Cashman and Seiferman had bad days. 'Rube' was unable to connect with Johnson's offerings, fanning three out of four times up and Seiferman had a tough time of it around second. Hopkins injured his finger, which troubled him considerably in throwing. - Millville's Chances. - Millville looked threatening in the sixth. After Hogan had fanned, Hopkins walked. Steinader single. Robinson flied out to Taylor and Seiferman was safe on Hutchinson's error. With the bases loaded and Nelson up the chances looked good. Then Seiferman was caught napping at first base and away went the opportunity. In the seventh Nelson led off with a single. Cashman lined to Bown, who doubled Nelson at first. Helfrich walked. Peterson singled to left. Hogan singled to centre, Helfrich scoring. Spottswood Poles pegged to Chappie Johnson and Peterson attempted to reach third, but was caught by Chappie Johnson's quick peg to Fred Hutchinson. In the ninth with one down, Nelson singled. Cahsman fanned. Helfrich walked. Peterson singled to left centre and the bases were loaded, but Hogan's fly was caught by George Shively. - The Bacharach Runs. - Spottswood Poles, first man up in the opener, was hit by a pitched ball. He stole second and third. George Shively walked and stole second. Bill Handy was out. Helfrich to Cashman. John Henry Lloyd flied out to Hogan, who threw poorly in an effort to get Spottswood Poles at the plate. Seigerman threw badly on Ben Taylor's roller and George Shively counted. Seiferman threw out Elias Brown. In the third, Spottswood Poles walked and went to second on Ray Steinader's bad peg to catch him napping. George Shively was tossed out by Helfrich. Bill Handy was hit by a pitched ball and stole second. John Henry Lloyd singled, scoring Spottswood Poles. In the eighth, Cashman stopped Elias Brown's bounder, but Steinader failed to cover first. Fred Hutchinson fanned. Chappie Johnson singled, scoring Elias Brown. Shang? Johnson singled, scoring Chappie Johnson."

"Bacharach Giants Won Three Straight - Came From Behind and Took Saturday's Contest. - Two Home Runs Hit - Millville Fell on Roberts in First Two Rounds and Got Five Runs. - The Bacharach Giants made it three in a row by copping Saturday's game from the locals by the score of 6 to 5. It was a tough one to lose, the home club having obtained five runs in the first two innings. Consistent swatting in the fourth and sixth gave the Atlatic City crowd their six runs and the game. A decision at first base by Umpire Adams in the sixth made it possible for the Giants to tally the three runs. Brown hit back of first base to Cashman and he raced with Brown to the sack. Both men slid into the base and to all appearances Cashman was there first. Adams called Brown safe. It would have retired the side without a score. - Heavy Hitting - Heavy Clubbing by both teams made the contest interesting Seiferman and Handy hit homers and two-base wallops were credited to Hopkins, Cashman, Taylor and Hutchinson. Taylor smashed a long fly against the right field fence in the eighth, but was held to first base. The Bacharach Giants obtained a dozen hits off Ogden and eight of them were obtained in the fourth and sixth innings. They got to him in those stanzas and were unusually active. Millville started in on Roberts, one of the Giants' best bets in the pitching line, and garnered one run in the firs and four more in the second, but that was the end. Several opportunities were killed by double plays or else the hitter failed to produce in a pinch. - The Scoring. - In the first, Seiferman was safe on first when his bunt was played to second, retiring Robinson. Nelson walked. John Henry Lloyd's error gave Cashman a life and allowed Seiferman to count. In the second, Steele reached first when his bunt was played to second forcing Peterson. Hopkins cracked out a two-base hit to left. Ogden flied out to Fred Hutchinson. Robinson singled, scoring Steele and Hopkins. Seiferman hit a home run over Spottswood Poles' head, chasing Robinson over ahead of him. Nelson popped out to Ben Taylor. In the third with one down Bill Handy hit a home run over Nelson's head. Ogden tossed out to John Henry Lloyd. Ben Taylor hit a two-bagger. Fred Hutchinson hit a two-bagger, scoring Ben Taylor. Elias Brown singled, scoring Fred Hutchinson. Ernest Gatewood fanned. John Henry Lloyd singled in the sixth. Ben Taylor forced John Henry Lloyd, Seiferman to Peterson. Helfrich tossed out Fred Hutchinson. Elias Brown hit back of first and Cashman apparently beat him to the bsae, but Umpire Adams said 'safe.' Ernest Gatewood singled scoring Ben Taylor and Elias Brown. Roy Roberts singled, scoring Ernest Gatewood. Spottswood Poles flied out to Hopkins. - Baseball Briefs. - The Bacharach Giants took no chances with Millville Saturday. Fearing that things might go badly with Elias Robers in the ninth. Cannonball Dick Redding was sent to the mound. A double play helped him considerably."

To date the Bacharach Giants have won five out of six games with Millville, three of them being by very close margins and the locals hope to break the streak tomorrow. 'Rube' Chambers, one of the few star south paws in Philadelphia, will pitch for Millville, although efforts are being made to secure Scott Perry who is reported to have desterted the Athletics to do the hurling. If he can be secured, the local management will get him. Millville will have DeMaris and Cashman for first base. DeMaris will be used there if he is in shape and Cashman or Green will be played in the outfield."

"Bacharach Giants Here For Two Games - Will Play Twilight Game at 6 O'Clock This Evening. - The Bacharach Giants will play here this evening and Saturday instead of one game tonight. They will play Saturday instead of the McAndrews and Forbes team which, while an excellent ball club, is not generally known as South Jersey. Millville will face the Giants with a strong ball club this evening and if 'Rube Chambers is going good, there is no reason why the locals should not take a fall out of the colored wizards. 'Linnie' Frost of Trenton, famed as a basketball player who also has a reputation as a catcher will do the catching. Frost was considered the best backstop in the Tri-State and is at present leading the batters in the Delaware River League with average that is close to .500. Hopkins has a bad finger and has been unable to throw in the last few games. He split the finger in the last game in Atlantic City and it has bothered him considerably. The local mangement has made Scott Perry who has jumped Connie Mack's Athletics an excellent offer to hurl the Saturday game against the Giants but last night no reply had been received from him."

"Bacharachs Still Keep Winning - Jinx Sticks Close to Millville in the Series. - Chambers had One Bad Inning - And Atlantic City Crowd Got Three Runs - Frost Hit Three-Bagger With Two On. - Too bad, but Tom Jackson's Bacharach Giants are still winning from Millville's pets. Last evening they made it six out of seven by carrying home the big end of a 9 to 2 score. Millville put a strong ball club on the field and played good baseball but the dusky wizards got to Chambers in the second inning and added another in the fourth. 'Linnie' Frost, of Trenton, who caught a nice game for the home club poled out a three-base whack in the third that scored a brace of tallies but that was the best effort of the home club. Frost looked mighty good to local fandom. Greene, cleanup hitter on Strawbridge and Clothier team, was in right field for the home crowd. Millville hit Frank Wickware but hit right at some one all the time. The breaks have surely been against Millville in the Bacharach games. In the ninth Helfrich led off with a single but John Henry Lloyd raced over to second, scooped Seiferman's roller and made a double play that ended the game. The same teams play this afternoon."

"Bacharachs Too Much For Locals - Won Saturday's Game After Tough Battle. - Locals' Rally in 7th Produced One Run - Giants Got Runs in Early Innings - Local Clubbers Could Not Hit Roberts. - Millville is all through with the Bacharach Giants. They are too much for the local club and the latter are willing to allow some other combination try their luck. Saturday's conflict was an exceptionally well played exhibition. There was not the semblance of an error by either team. The only thing wrong about the game was the score. The Giants had 3 and Millville 1. Millville exerted every effort to cop the game in the seventh. When Robers became wild, but it amounted to only one run. 'Curley' Ogden pitched very good ball for the home club. George Shiveley was rather bothersome, registering two doubles and a single, but he handled their heaviest swatters, Spottswood Poles, Bill Handy, John Henry Lloyd and Ben Taylor, in a very encouraging manner. Only in the second and third innings did the Giants find him with any worthwhile regularity. Millville clubbers hit in tough luck. For five innings none of them made anything that in any way resembled a hit. They did some batting as can be noticed by the eight chances of the Giant outfield, but they couldn't get them safe and then this big fellow John Henry Lloyd, who loiters between second and third, was a stubling block that really hurt. As a matter of fact this same John Henry Lloyd has been a nuisance during the entire series. About the time a fellow who has honest intentions gets a real lively knock started toward second base and the fans have visions of base hits and a batting rally, John Henry Lloyd races over, gobbles the horsehide and hurls it to Ben Taylor. John Henry Lloyd's shortstopping has queered numerous Millville endeavors. He's a great ball player. The Bacharach giants are too speedy for the home club just now. not very much too fast, but enough and they have won ball games from Millville because they play a steady game. In the second inning Ben Taylor, first man up, was hit by a pitched ball. Fred Hutchinson sacrificed him. Elias Brown flied out to Nelson. Ernest Gatewood singled to centre, scoring Ben Taylor. Roy Robers singled, Spottswood Polies forced Roy Roberts. In the third George Shiveley led off with a two-bagger. Bill Handy singled, John Henry Lloyds sacrificed. Ben Taylor singled scoring both. Ben Taylor was out stealing, Hopkins to Seiferman. Fred Hutchingson was tossed out by Helfrich. In the seventh with two down, Young singled for Millville. Hopkins walked, Ogden singled to left centre, scoring Young. Robinson walked and the bases were loaded. Roy Roberts was wild and the chances for Millville looked good. Peterson forced Robinson. Fred Hutchinson to Bill Handy and the opportunity was gone. - Art DeMaris is not in form yet. The fact that he has not been playing any baseball for nearly two months may account for his showing in the two games against the Bacharach Giants. 'Merry' broke in against a regular ball club and that was a considerable disadvantage to him. - Millville found Roberts in rare form Saturday and when he's good he's very good. Wickware, Roberts and Redding are pitchers against whom the hitters of any independent clubs will have trouble."

The candy makers will attempt to even things this afternoon when the two nines clash again on the Elizabethtown diamond. Walter Harned worked on the Klein slab yesterday and there appeared to be something wrong with him. He was found for seven safe hits. However, he might have won the game had it not been for several costly errors made by his teammates. Neither team scored until the third inning when the colored players got their first tally. John Henry Lloyd walked and went from first to home on a screaming two-bagger by Ben Taylor. Bacharach got her other run in the next frame, when Spottswood Poles got on base through an error by Cranston, reached second and third and crossed the plate and scored on a passed ball, Trout throwing wild to second in order to catch a runner advancing from first. Klain made her solitary score of the contest in the sixth inning. Trout walked, was sacrificed to second by Harned, went to third on a passed ball and scored on Hunte's hit. The losers were able to connect safely with the ball but four times, and of those hits 'Dick' Kauffman made two. Reading, the Bacharach moundsman, pitched a remarkable game. At one period of the game, Johnny Pugh, the colored nine's right fielder robbed Klein of a run when he made a beutiful nab of a crack that was labeled for four bases."

During the past several days the genial dusky manager has been severely handicapped by the loss of a few of his players as a result of injuries and he found it necessary to dicker with several colored players with New York teams. Charles Culver and D. Bailey who have played with the Lincoln Giants, fastest nine in New York City, have been added to the Havana Red Sox while Wells of the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City, who is an outfielder of note, is also now attached to the line-up of the colored Sox.

A bad peg by John Henry Lloyd in the tenth allowed a Hilldale man to go all the way to second.

Both teams fielded sensationally. Two errors were committed, John Henry Lloyd and Bill Handy heaving bad pegs to first. - Willis Flournoy, a left hand flinger who has the reputation of being one of the best colored pitchers in the world twirled excellent ball for Hilldale, and was particularly effective against John Henry Lloyd and Ben Taylor. - In the first Bacharach had three men on the bases and none down and failed to score."

It is a rare tribute to the contesting teams that it is the first time since Shibe Park was opened in 1909 that colored teams will play on its diamond. Hilldale and Bacharachs have met eight times this season, each team winning four game, so the battle today will decide the colored baseball supremacy of the country. Hilldale recently has returned to Philadelphia after a successful tour to the middle west, where it beat everybody it met. It has won the reputation of being one of the greatest colored teams ever organized. On its own grounds in DArby it has played to large crowds of white and colored fans every Saturday. The Bacharachs will bring a large delegation of supporters from Atlantic City. The two teams not only play fast baseball, but also afford boundless comedy by reason of their grotesque coching.

"Bacharach Giants Crush Hilldale - Atlantic City Team Captures Final Game of Series From Locals by 10 to 0 - Hilldale and the Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic City, New Jersey, battled at Shibe Park yesterday afternoon, the latter outclassing the Darby team, 10 to 0, in the final game of the series before some 5000 fans. Williams, who started to twirl for Hilldale, went well for three innings, in which time the out-of-town clan got but one bingle safe, but in the fourth frame something went wrong with his shoots, for the opponents nicked him for a triple, double and three singles, in addition to which he passed a batter, resulting in five tallies going over before help reached him, Phil Cockerell being rushed to the rescue. The fifth frame was a quiet one for Bacharachs, but in the sixth they turned loose their fence busters again, this time sending the count up three more, with two triples an two singles, and to show they were not unsociable, added one in the eighth and ninth innings. Cannon Ball Dick Redding had the Indian sign on Hilldale and let the Darby boys down with three singles and struck out seven, hit one batter with a pitched ball and gave three bases on balls. Not satisfied with pitching a great game, he monopolized the aggresive end of the battle, also scoring three runs and getting three hits, two of which were three-baggers. The work of Spottswood Poles and John Henry Lloyd with the willow must not be overlooked, for their wallops were resonable for several runs gathered. The nearest that Hilldale got to the plate was in the ninth inning, when Louis Santop reached third."

In the seventh the Atlantic City crowd got to Rube for several safe swats, with the result that they piled up half a dozen tallies. A three-base knock by Hutchinson helped in Chambers' downfall Rabinger played the ball badly. He raced in on the drive and it bounded over his head. A couple of errors by Lai and a horrible heave over Cashman's head by Yost were material aids in the scoring. Vineland kept fighting and on hits by Lai and Spaulding pushed a couple of tallies over on their own account in their half. Vineland staged an exciting rally in the ninth which brought Dick Redding from the bench. After Vineland had counted twice in the ninth with one down, (Jim?) Jeffries was yanked and Dick Redding substituted without warming up. Vineland put Yim in to bat for Chambers and he walked. Rabeinger also walked and the bases were loaded. Dick Redding was in a bad hole and Vineland fans were wild with joy. Yost popped to Bill Handy and McInnis hit to Fred Hutchinson, who tagged third and the excitement was over."

Both are exceptional good men and have been hitting the ball hard. Lennox is a heavy clubber who is just likely to whale one in to the river as not. Charlie White, a catcher well known in this city, will be doing the backstopping. He was here several times with Logan Square but this season is at Parkesburg Iron.

Millville, NJ
"Bacharachs Won Twilight Contest - Defeated Millville in Well-Played Game Last Evening. - The Score was 5 to 2. - Millville Had Big Chance to Win in Seventh But Failed in the Pinch. - Millville dropped the first game of the series to the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City last evening by the score of 5 to 2. A great crowd witnessed the struggle and were well pleased with the performance. The two teams clash in the second game on the M.S.A.A. field Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Millville's miscues contributed largely in a Bacharach victory and Ayau was the conspicuous offender with Stenader also contribuing aid to the enemy on a couple of occasions. Ayau, generally the brilliant performer on the team, forgot himself on a couple of plays that important. In the second inning he failed to back up Helfrich on White's bad peg, giving Potts an opportunity to tally the first run for the visiting team, and in the second stanza he failed to cover second base when White threw perfectly in an effort to get Taylor. Because there was nobody there, Taylor continued on to third and eventually counted. Stenader's contributions were made in the second and ninth. They were similar. In each instance there was a Giant on third and one on first. The last named Allen attempted to steal second and Ray became puzzled as to how to get him. While he was wig-wagging between first and second the man on third raced home. It's an old play but was worked to perfection by the Giants. - Pitched Good Game - Ray Steinader pitched a fairly good game against the colored champions and had there been air tight playing, the visitors would have been shut out. He was banged about the lot for dozen safeties, one of which was good for three bases, gave two walks and plugged a man and as a matter of fact this sort of a combination is generally good for several tallies. Shively led the onslaught with three hits, all of them being bunts in front of the plate. He struck out four men. Charles White received Ray's offerings in excellent manner and smashed out a timely single when singles were most needed in the seventh. - Millville's Big Chance - Millville had a big chance to cop the contest in the seventh when Nelson opened with a scorching single to centre. Yost crashed a two sack wallop to left centre and Seiferman followed with a single that chased Nelson over. White banged a hit past short that counted Yost. Hogan attempted to sacrifice him to second and fanned and Stenader hit to Hutchinson who threw to Lloyd and he pegged to Taylor for a double and an end of the Millville rally. - The Giants Scores - In the second with two down Potts walked. George Shively beat out a bunt. Potts stole third and came on home when White threw badly to Helfrich. In the fourth Ben Taylor singled to left. He stole second and continued on to third when nobody covered second. Ernest Gatewood singled to right scoring Ben Taylor. Johnny Pugh was out.

"Millville Trims Bacharach Giants - Locals Evened Up Series With Colored Wizards Saturday Afternoon. - The Score was 4 to 2. - Batting Rally Cmae in the Fourth and Was Aided by a Couple of Errors. - It stopped raining last Saturday afternoon just long enough to allow Millville to trim the Bacharach Giants in the second game of the series by the score of 4 to 2. Only seven innings were played because the Atlantic City team desired to catch a train to New York, they being billed to play a double header there on Sunday. Frequent downpours which came after dinner dampened the playing field badly and a gang of workmen found it a difficult task to get the field back into real good condition. However, the game was played and was witnessed by a crowd that filled the two stands. Spectacular fielding by both teams kept the crowd interested. Hutchinson grabbed everything that was hit in his direction with discouraging ease. In the fourth Peploski slammed a terrific drive at him. He got it with his bare hand. At that "Hutch" didn't have anything on our own third sacker. In the third Helfrich enacted the feature play of the performance when he stabbed John Henry Lloyd's scorching liner with his gloved hand and pegged to Yost for a pretty double. The play was a timely one and nipped a batting rally that had all the appearances of developing into somthing dangerous. 'Cannon Ball' Dick Redding was on the mound for the dusky athletes at the start of the game and his speed had the home talent looking bad at times. He pitched rapidly and that appeared to baffle the Millvillians to a disquieting degree. He gave way to Johnson after the fourth and then came the offensive that copped the contest. Three hits, two errors and a fielder's choice developed four tallies and that was sufficient. George Shively led the clubbing for the Bacharachs with a triple and a double. - How Runs Came. - With one down in the first, George Shively hit to the right center field fence for three bases. Robinson relayed the ball to Yost who threw wildly to Helfrich, allowing hi to continue on to the plate. In the third with one down, George Shively hit to left for two bases. He scored when Handy singled to left and was out a moment later when Helfrich grabbed John Henry Lloyd's line smash with one hand and thre to Yost. Millville's rally came in the fourth. Seiferman, first up, was safe when John Henry Lloy'd thre badly to first. Smith bunted and Bill Handy dropped Chappie Johnson's throw, both men being safe. Hopkins singled. Steinader bunted and was out, Ben Taylor to Bill Handy, who covered first. Seiferman scored on the play. Robinson singled over second chasing Smith and Hopkins over. Peploski hit to Hutchinson and was out at first. Yost singled past third, scoring Robinson, who had flinched third. Nelson whiffed, ending the inning."

"7th Was Lucky for the Giants - Millville Lost Well-Played Contest at Inlet Park Yesterday. - Final Score was 5 to 1. - Millville held lead until Sixth and Lost in Seventh - Had big Opportunity in Ninth. - A collapse of the Millville defense in the seventh inning allowed the Bacharach Giants to tally three runs and win yesterday's game with Millville at Inlet Park, Atlantic City. The score was 5 to 1. The Millvillians held the lead until the sixth inning, having pushed a run over in the third that looked awfully good the way things were going. The lone tally came when Yim, after being hit with a pitched ball, advanced to second on Taylor's muff of Roberts' pet to catch him napping. Yost after fouling off half dozen finally fanned. Lennox beat out an infield hit and Nelson slammed one over short that chased Yim over. The run looked big enough to carry home as the big end of the score with Clancy going the way he was. Fred Hutchinson was the only giants who could do anything with his delivery and he dented it for three hits, one of which was a two-bagger: It came in the second inning and was hit over Yim's head. It was not a difficult chance for the spry outfielders but he lost the ball in the sun. - The Giants' Runs - The resort crowd obtained the run which tied the score in the sixth. George Shively by a great slide into first beat out an infield hit and was sacrificed to second. He went to third while Clancy threw out John Henry Lloyd. Ben Taylor singled to right scoring him. Hopkins stopped Ben Taylor's attempt theft of bag number two by a pretty peg to Seiferman. But the real damage came in the seventh. Johnny Pugh, the first man up, walked. Fred Hutchinson slammed a scorching bounder to the right of Yost. He almost pulled a spectacular one hand stop but the ball was too hot for him and both men were safe. Chappie Johnson bunted toward short and Clancy fell down fielding the ball. The bases were loaded when Roy Roberts hit savagely to Lennox who pegged to Hopkins forcing Johnny Pugh. Hopkins in an endeavor to complete a double play overthrew Seiferman, who covered first, and two runs came in. Spottswood Poles launched a fly to right field which Yim raced after and dropped, allowing Roy Roberts to count. The Giants got another run in the eighth. John Henry Lloyd singled to left and went to second when Hopkins dropped a ball. Hopkins' throw reached Helfrich in time to prevent him from stealing third but the latter failed to tag him. He counted when Clancy threw badly to first on Fred Hutchinson's roller. - Pitched Good Game - Jim Clancy pitched good enough ball to win. He had the dusky lads guessing all the time and with any kind of breaks would have won. He had a baffling assortment of curves and a puzzling chance of pace that kept the darkies guessing. Millville had a big opportunity in the ninth. Seiferman, first up, walked. Hopkins was hit by a pitched ball. Hogan, batting for Clancy, walked. Robinson flied out to right field. The fly was short and Seiferman after getting half way home, went back to third. In the meantime Hopkins had advanced to third and Hogan to second. In the mixup Seiferman attempted to get home and was nailed at the plate. Yost hit a terrific drive that Hutchinson scooped up with his eyes closed, ending the game."
