1.43. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL TODAY, 3.30 P. M. READING vs. NEWARK LAUER'S PARK SECOND AND ELM STS.

Pair VJEU 2ff Tw Of Close Tilts Captured By Jerseys; Scores 5 4 and 2 1 By GEORGE BUSHFIELD JERSEY CITY, N. Sept. 7. Displaying a surprising reversal of the Jersey City Skeeters succeeded in ducking their losing streak this afternoon to breeze through with victories in both parts of today's double header by scores of 5 to 4 and 2 to I. In pulling out the opening battle the Skeeters resorted to the method so successfully applied by the Keys in the two previous games.

A red hot finish. Reading looked like a sure winner, having the edge on the rivals by a single run in the ninth, but the 'Jerseys with one out, developed a great batting rally and with a pair of singles and a double, poked the game under cover by hanging up two runs, ending the contest with only one out and a run to spare for the Skeeters. Play Both games were sharply con tested, presenting lots of thrills, the most Interesting of which was a pretty triple play In which Tomimy Ray, the Jersey City shortstop, was the principal actor. This triple killing was produced in the eighth Reading chapter and followed right on the heels of Brown's scoring, which gave Reading a one run lead. Brown had profited by a free trip, the gift of Pitcher Barnhardt.

Blackstock and Cumlskey both slipped in singles sending Brown home. Following Cumiskey's safe drive, Barnhardt was relieved by Harry Frank on the mound. Catcher Haley cut loose with a cannon ball shot toward left, apparently out of reach, over Ray's head. The latter made a wonderful leap and speared the ball with one hand and like a streak he tore over to second, stepped on the bag and then by a snappy throw drove the pill over to Holt, catching both Blackstock and Cumiskey wide of the cushions, for the first triple play performed in this city in years. Pests Rally This exceptional performance of Ray's seemed to Infuse new life in the Skeeters, for they made a strong effort to tie the score in the eighth by putting a couple of runners on the paths and then solved the problem cleverly in the final with one down, on Lawry's drive to left.

Sheridan's two bagger which registered Lawry, balancing the totals and Jim Walsh's lusty wallop to left, sent Sheridan in with the deciding counter. "Walter Smallwood occupied the place of honor for Reading at the start1 and went along smoothly until the final ditch, when he was given the gate after Sheridan's double. Clary substituted, but only for a imtnute, as Walsh tore of his hit on the second ball delivered by the newcomer and Clary's period of duty ended immediately. Reading registered nine hits and Jersey City twelve. Sllva played In sensational style in his position, spearing nine difficult drives from the air.

Another Squeeze The farewell lineup was fully as Interesting as the first with the final result uncertain until the last Reading player had been retired. Martin pitched a forcible game for Reading, holding the local batsmen i under control by turning them down with only three safeties, but in spite or this shortage, the Skeeters man aged to squeeze out the safe margin. Kube zeiiars, who was trimmed in the opening game of the series. staged a clever this afternoon, to turn the trick on his rivals. They stung, him for seven hits but he steered his craft safely except in the fifth, when Haley's single, followed by Silva's hot double with two tied the game up, only to nave tne SKeeters pry off the vic tory tag in their half of the inning.

The gaime was called in the seventh to enable the "Reading players to catch train early, for home to start against the Bears tomorrow. ORIOLES DEFEAT BEARS BY. A SCORE OF 4 TO 2 NEWARK. N. Sent.
