The Florence correspondent of the Bur
lington Enterprise has this to say of Sat
urday's game: Fully thousand people
were at the ball grounds on Saturday to
witness the game between Florence and
Mount Holly. The game was a most ex-
citing one from start to finish. The work
of the visitors was excellent. Seldom
have we seen such good work as was done
by their fielders. Not chance escaped
them, but with it all they went down be
fore the heavy hitters of the home team. A."
In the Philadelphia Press, on Sunday,
the following item appeared: The team
owes its success to the able management
of Mr.. Kingdom who foots all deficiencies
and pockets his losses While this item
was meant to be complimentary it is in
correct and by its incorrectness is unfair
to the gentlemen who are interested in the
Mount Holly Athletic Association and
give it encouragement and financial aid
The manager meets the expenses of each
game but is always reimbursed. He has
had nearly two years exp erience with the
Mount Holly base ball team and up to the
present date has not pocketed single loss,
having received every penny expended
for the clubs benefit This statement is
made in justice to those who are connect
ed with the Association.

Florence got its revenge on Saturday
by beating the Mount Holly base ball club
on the grounds at Florence. The Mount
Holly team was in good shape and play ed
fine game but the Florence men punched
their hits and, aided by errors, got more
runs than we did. In the first inning
with bases full, Leonard made a bad over
throw to first base on which two runs
were scored, and two more came in on
long flies. Run getting was stopped for
Florence until the sixth inning, when the
latter, by timely hitting, brought in four
more Mount Holly got two of its runs
in the second inning, and one in the ninth.
Mount Holly played the best game in the
field, and gave the spectators the finest
exhibition they have ever had on their
grounds Our boys made but three errors
while Florence had seven charged to their
account Our outfield was very strong
each man being credited with fine catches.
Campbell made a beautiful catch of line
fly, after running quite distance and
falling just as he got the ball in his hands
Hall made long running catch, following
it with splendid throw, cutting off a run
ner at home. There was large crowd
present the majority of whom were fav
orable to Florence, but the Mount Holly
team was given an excellent reception and
was loudly applauded for every fine play
it made and was highly complimented on
its fine fielding. The double umpire sys-
was used and gave satisfaction, not
kick being recorded. The score fol
