ing the return game with Mount Holly
through the newspapers, missing no OPP
portunity to slur the latter team or it's
manager. This is Burlingtons style, how
ever. 1t is afraid to come to Mount Holly
and play game and when pressed to do
so, crawls behind the excuse that the
boss meaning the beer saloon man who
is back of the team-will not let it come
Mount Holly will give it good guaran-
tee to play game here, not in the news
papers but on a nicely arranged ground
But it is no use thinking of such an event.
Burlington is afraid to play away from its
own roost consequently will continue to
use its only weapon-gas, supplied to
both the Gazette and Enterprise from the
same tank.
Probably the manager of the Mount
Holly team now realizes that there are
others. The defeats at the hands of Bur
lington and Florence made them die hard,
but they must bow to the superior play
ing of these two teams This is from
the Burlington Enterprise Isn't it rich
Mount Holly has always been willing to
concede that there are others 1t is the
Burlington crowd that always clings to
the idea that it is the only real thing on
earth. Mount Holly does not die hard "
1t still lives and is ready to prove that
fact to the Burlington aggregation as
soon as that team can muster up enough
courage to journey to the county seat.
Mount Holly is willing to concede super
iority when it is shown, but it cannot
point to Burlington as specimen of that
article, and the bowling" will not be
done until the deciding game is played
with both of the teams mentioned Flor
ence is willing to meet Mount Holly
again, and is considering the return game.
Burlington is afraid to come, but will re-
main at home and crow over the shut out
it gave this team as an evidence of it's
superiority" calmly ignoring the de-
feat by Delanco, whom Mount Holly has
thrice defeated, and its shut-out at the
hands of Camden on its own grounds
There was an exciting game of base ball
at the fair ground ON Saturday between
the Mount Holly and Delanco clubs
Both sides did some fast fielding, the play
ing of the home team being particularly
fine and errorless
A number of changes had been made in
the makeup of the local club, and every
rooter was pleased with the new arrange
ment. Black, Burke and Leonard had
been released and three new players sub
stituted- Garry Miller, a leftehanded
pitcher from Camden, occupied the box,
and kept the Delanco heavy hitters guess
ing during the entire game. They got
three scattered hits-one in the third in
ming, one in the sixth, and one in the
ninth That kind of stick work is pro-
ductive of shut out, and that's what the
visitors got, the score being to O.
Denness was placed on first bag, which
he covered in good shape, and Gleason,
lately from Springfield, played second in
his usual dashing style.
Hall, who has been playing right field,
was possibly the greatest surprise to the
rooters. He was put on third base which
many of the enthusiasts thought was a
mistake, but the young man accepted his
seven chances with neatness and dispatch.
He has had considerable experience in
the past as a third baseman and seems to
have profted by that experience.
I Gilkeson a young man from Bristol,
was in right field, and gave evidence OF
being good player. He got one hit, two
bases on balls. stole base and caught the
only fly that reached his territory.
The balance of the team was the same
as before-Verga at short Campbell in
left field, Kingdom in centre, and Thack-
ara behind the bat AS now constituted
it is a fast aggregation.
GLENN, a young man with aspirations
as pitcher, can congratulate himself on
the result of his twirling for Delanco or
Saturday. He did remarkably well il
keeping the home teams hits down to six
Two notable features of the game were
Denness' stealing base and Tobin keep
ing his mouth shut If Tobin said wore
during the entire game no one on the
ground heard it.
Mount Holly scored two runs both il
the seventh inning. Kingdom, the frs
batsmen was thrown out on an infelt
grounder to third. Gilkeson got bast
on balls was advanced by sacrifice by
Verga, and came home on Gleason's two
Dagger to centre field Campbell got tt
first on muffed fly to right garden, alst
scoring Gleason. Thackara was thrown
out on a ground ball to short and tina
ended the inning and the run getting
The score follows;
MOUNT HOLLY.
