Camden Beats All Stars

Philadelphia Inquirer - October 28, 1906

In Benefit Game for Ike Toy Jersey Men Came Out On Top

The base ball season in Camden came to a close yesterday with a game between the regular Camden team and a nine made up of natives of Camden who played in the various leagues the past season. The game was for the benefit of “Ike” Toy, a former semi-professional star, but now a member of the Camden police force, and who is dying with consumption. Toy was a pitcher, and Harry Davis, the captain of the Athletics, was his catcher.

On the All-Star team was “Wild” Conroy, of the New York Americans; Eggie Lennox, whom the Athletics farmed out to Rochester; Smith and Kite, of the American Association; Wagner and Ross, of the Connecticut League; Corbett and Black, of the Southern League, and Clayton, of the Camden A. A.

The Camden team won by a score of 4 to 1, and only during base running by Conroy after he had made a hit in the first inning saved the Stars from a shutout.
