Every time the reporters of the Burling-
ton newspaper pass cigar store and see
the Indian pompey in front, they imme-
diately fall into fit.

Shreve's Little Joe took second money in
the 81 pacing race. On Wednesday, A.
w. Lotlands Eagle Medium was third in
the 20 pacing
Billy Egan. the base ball player, was
arrested in Camden, yesterday, on a charge
of attempting to kill his wife. Egan was
one of the best second basemen in the
profession. He had been playing at SYRIA
cuse this season, but came home about six
weeks ago The manager of the Mount
Holly team tried to secure him, but at
that time he was drinking to such an ex-
tent as to be unreliable. His habits have
probably affected his mind.
The base ball season closed at Mount
Holly on Saturday. 1t has been little
more successful than that of last year ow-
ing to the cancellation of dates with city
clubs and arranging games with local or
CARNATIONS. The team has played 20
games, winning -, losing six and tieing
one We beat Riverside in the only
contest with that club. We had three
meets with the Delanco team and
secured victory each time. We met
Florence twice and beat them once and
scared them to such an extent that they
dared not come again. We walloped Bur
lington once and then gave them ser
vice of Indian meal that they have been
chewing on ever since. Bordentown gave
US two games, one of which was tie
the other was ours because we won it.
And on this record we rest
The Mount Holly foot ball team is find
ing much difficulty in securing games with
other teams because outsiders believe that
the average weight given is fictitious, they
laboring under the impression that these
kickers are the same as those of last year,
who averaged 175 pounds, and who played
under the auspices of the Mount Holly
Athletic Association. The present team
is under the sole management of James
d. Flynn and its average weight is 145
pounds. Next Saturday they open the
season at Moorestown, and in addition to
this they have three dates with Burling-
ton. The team will line up as follows:
Dillett, right end Lippincott, right
tackle; Worth, right guard Dudley,
centre; Shinn, left guard; Atkinson, left
tackle; c. McGuigan, left end; McCue,
left half back; Joseph McGuigan, right
half back; Linton, captain and full back;
H. Shinn quarter back.
Mount Holly won the game of base ball
with Bordentown, on Saturday, and with
it the championship of the county.
There was a large attendance and the
spectators were pleased with the gentle
manly conduct of both teams, there being
an entire absence of kicking.
Bordentown had two new players
Fields, of Atlantic City, and Robinson, of
the University of Pennsylvania Cook
occupied the pitchers box for the visitors,
and received, probably, the worst pound
ing in his experience. Every man on
the home team got at least one hit, the
total being IA for total of Is bases, be-
sides three bases on balls. In the eighth
inning Mount Holly made four runs, all
earned, getting five clean hits
Bruce again pitched fine game for
Mount Holly, being particularly effective
at critical stages. The nine hits made by
the visitors were well scattered, and were
made principally after two men were out
or when the bases were empty.
The features were the batting of Mount
Holly, the playing of Verga and Steelman,
and the pitching of Bruce.
The score follows:
