though the Mount Holly Athletic Asso-
citation made no money at its bicycle meet

sustained"

den. but his manager, Thomas Eek, ex-
planned to the crowd that the "whlte
flyer" was sick at his home in Minneapo-
lis.
"A large Burlington contingent went
over to Mount Holly on Saturday to wit
ness the bicycle races. A good deal of
disappointment was felt at not seeing
johnson ride. and the association is Sc
verely criticised for not letting the public
know of his inability to be present.-Bur-
Iington Reporter, July %.
The Athletic Association did let the
public know of Johnson's illness, although
giving out the facts made serious differ
ence in the attendance. The news was
published In the Philadelphia Press, Pub
Tic Ledger, Inquirer. Call and twice in the
Item, of that city; and in the Mount Holly
Herald ard Dispatch.
There was good game of base ball on
the Mount Holly Athletic grounds, on
Saturday, between the Tioga and home
clubs. The visitors came prepared to win
the game, having two new players to
strengthen their team, but it was of no
avail. Mount Holly's boys batted Cum
bingham freely and made number of
long hits. Morelock now occupies third
base for Mount Holly instead of Kane,
which is an agreeable change. Morelock
made four nice hits on Saturday. Hill, a
Camden boy. occupied right field for the
home team. The visitors did not put up
as good game as they did on their for
mer visit, when twelve innings were re-
quired to defeat them. When Mount
Holly went to the bat in the seventh in
ming, County Clerk Worrell presented a
handsome scarf pin to first baseman Dob
bins, in recognition of his valuable SER
vices on the nine.
