I -
n i i.ouniui, s Majest.c-s.rsna,
baseball combination scored a * to *
victory over the Hotel Madiaon nine
in a well played game on the Rari
tan Copper wonts field yesterday
afternoon. The West 3.de Madiaon ,
avenue team went into tbe lead tn I
the seventh seesion by scoring three |
runs and then checked a rally of;
the iMadieon players In the last half
of this frame.
Captain Coumhan started on the
mound for the Majesties and pitch- '
ad up to the sixth session when he
wee relieved by Zalart. Captain Sol- I
Kelsey pitched the entire gams for j
the East Side Madison avenue out-J
fit. Both combinations were slight
ly padded for this game, and It is
probable that the next game will
bring back memories of the Keyport
Matawan series of & few years ago.
The Majesties scored three runs in
the opening session, but uus lead was
short lired as Kelsey's team dupli
cated in their half of the first. Nei
ther team tallied In the second and
Counihan's outfit failed to get a man
around In the third. The Madisons
went into the lead bv snoring a run
in tha last of the third, but the score
was again tied when tbe Majesties
scored a run In the fourth. The Ma
jesties took the lead In the fifth in
ning by scoring s single counter.
The game appeared to be about
sewed up when the Madisons scorsd
three runs In the last of the fifth,
but the Majesties discounted the lead
by scoring one run in the sixth and
then went into tha lead as a result ]
of the seventh Inning tally. The
Madiaons scored a run In the last of
GERMANTOWN CHAMPIONS
HERE TOMORROW NIGHT
The Germantown (Pa.) volley ball
team which invades this city tomor
row night for a five game match
with the local T. M. C. A. varsity In
the concluding contest of the season
for the Amboy team, is the logical
national championship combination,
it being the only tesm entered in the
national tourney this year to defeat
the Pittsburgh “T" team, which won
the championship honors.
In deciding the national cham
pions four teams were finally left
out of a field of more then thirty.
In these concluding matches games
and not matches were counted.
Pittsburgh succeeded in taking two
straight games from Johnstown end
Philadelphia Southwest but lost two
out of three to Germantown. Ger
mantown. although it defeated each
of these three teams, lost one game
in each m-teh. The final percentage
gave Pittsburgh the higher average
and thence the title.
Tomorrow night’s match, which
will be largely attended, tickets hav
ing sold fast in advance, should de
cide whether the Amboy team has
improved any since last year. When
the Germantown team made its ini
tial appearance here last year it took
five straight games from the locals.
The showing made by Amboy at
Brooklyn in the national tourney
this year, however, has mads the
