Base Ball.
The interesting events on the ball field
for the past week have been the Burling-
tons VS.. Merits, at Camden last Thurs
day, in which the former club were beaten
by the following score:
12345 7s9
burlington 80 Q 0 3 0 O-S
Merritt .... ..............0 0 0 U 0 s A 0 OF
On Saturday the Burlington and
Quaker City clubs played at Burlington.
The Burlington boys were beaten as usual
by the following score:
1928 4567S9
Huntington. .............1 0 c 0 0 0 o 0 2-3
quaker City, .--......-..0 0 0 0 2 0 0 IA
This makes the fourth successive defeat
for the Burlington club, and much of it
can be laid TO bad playing. It is nothing
but the poorest kind Of playing that will
allow one club 10 defeat another when the
score stands as it did at Camden on Thurs
day. On Saturday Hoover at second lost
the game by failing to make double
play when he had all the time he needed
to do 50. Aydelott, the pitcher lost his
head, too, and allowed three men to take
their bases on balls in the last inning.
1t is evident that the club needs little
recognizing.
On Wednesday the Burlingtons played
the Philadelphia club at Recreation Park
Philadelphia.
Next Saturday the Burlingtons and
Merritts play at Burlington.
Berkleback, the left fielder of the Bur
lingtons is one of the finest players in

now as he did in the first part of the sea-

covery. The cocks were as usual carried
in bags, and while passing Broadway and
Federal streets, one of them began to crow.
This started the rest, and for few mo-
ments there were series of shrill chal-
lenges from each Of the three bags. The
attention Of number of persons was at
tracted, but the men managed to choke
the birds into silence, and got away from
their conspicuous position as quickly as
possible. The handler of the Camden
birds was 'Pud" Carlton, the well-known
Philadelphia sportsman. Burlington
birds were in charge of a mulatto named
Hyers. There were seventeen spectators,
ten of them being residents of Camden,
the other seven hailed from Burlington
county. The mat Oh was for $50 side
As the City Hall clock struck 4, the
first pair were put to the scratch. Cam
den offered fine black breasted red, and
Burlington put forth plain red. The
battle was short, sharp, and decisive,
Burlington making but single stroke
and driving his gafi through the head of
his opponent, who fell dead without a
hutter. The next match was long and
exciting. Camden presented. a gawky
red game, and Burlington eompactly
built pyle black. The birds were evil
IDENTIFY old veterans of the pit for they
tented for an opening and it was full
minute before they came together. The
black few high and made remarkable
double stroke with both feet, but missed
and fell. As he went down the big red
drove his steel spur into the blacks wing.
Both birds came up gamelY for the Sec
ond round, and bets were freely offered
four to one on Camden, but the plucky
little black, with his disabled wing,
quickly ended the fight by driving his
gaf through the reds eye, making two
victories for Burlington.
The next fight was between two blacks,
and was very soon over, Camden came out
winner inside of two minutes, Burlington
going down with thrust through the
chest and head.
The fourth round between pair of
bantam games, ended almost as quick
ly as the one preceding ii, with Camden
victor.
A dispute arose about this time between
the handlers as to whether Burlington
had right to offer the next bird with a
double-pointed gait, against single. but
the dispute was quickly ended by "Pud"
Carlton drawing pair of double-pointers
from his pocket, and adjusting them on
his bird. This round was between China
white game and pyle from Burlington.
Burlington showed the white feather

any attempt 10 fight. The sixth battle
was between another pair of black-breast-

Camden. Then another quarrel arose,
which began to assume such serious as
pect that Carlton put the seventh bird in
the bag, and left the house. The referee
decided in favor Of Camden county, and
the money was paid over. About $500
