BASEBALL
¦ Last Sunday afternoon the Bellmore ! Baseball team had an easy walkover I with the Rockvilie Centre team, de¬ feating them by the score  of  7   to  0.
! It was expected that a close game would be had, but the team that came ' here was not the strong team from ; that place that has visited hereon sev- I eral occasions, that club having dis- i banded. The team Sunday was a pick- , up nine from Rockviile Centre, with \ only one man from the original team. ' Sam Seaman occupied the pitcher's ! box and proved very effective against ' the opponents, being ably assisted  by
¦ Ed. Smith at the receiving end. Bell- i more started the scoring in the first : inning, when they gathered three runs. I two earned and one by a  passed   ball.
! In the third inning they got one more I on a passed ball. In the seventh in- I ning the boys started another batting ! rally and got three more runs across I the plate. Our boys got ten hits {to j the visitors five. Seaman struck out I ten men. while eight of our men j fanned. Several times it looked as I though the visitors  would  score,   but
each time they were  checked  by   fast I playing and Seaman's effective   pitch- jing. I     Ne.xt Sunday at 3:30. the opponents
will be the strong College Point team.
Score by innings: ' Bellmore 3 0 10 0 0 8 0 x—7

} NOTES BY FAN
I Parker Vooris made two bad throws I to first, one in the Srd and one in the 8th, but we can't find any fault with I him—he's been playing great ball j around third baae this season. The i best of players have off days.
I Apei.er soent the dsy at High Hill I Beach. He was greatly missed by the I fans at first base, although Krause I played a nice steady game at that po- I sition.
I Ernest Schneider, who has been i catching nearly all season, played at second, bat had very few chances.
