Southerners in Second Tilt of Series, After
Brilliant Exhibition by Both Teams.
NEWARK, N. J., June?After

was finally squelched by the Newark team in the second tilt of the series today. Both Ross, who was on the mound for the Southerners, and Smallwood, the Newark flinger, went the entire route.

To begin with, a Richmond runner?Clemens?was thrown out at the plate in the sixteenth inning, checking what appeared to be a winning rally. Then, breaking under the strain, Kriehor booted Healey's grounder in Newark's half, paving the way to the run that cost the game. After Hoaley rained a 11-to-1 decision on this foul, Ksan put away with an infield hit.

The Tigers went into the fray with blood in their eyes. The lone  String of defeats forced upon them drove them to fury, and it was only this spirit of desperation that enabled them to hold Smith's men to a draw.
