BASE BALL NOTES.

All that foolish talk about throwing
games is ended now.
Dunn, Logan and Kelly seem to have
solved Hesley's delivery.
Pitcher Torrie has sold his interest in
the Riverside Press and will remove to
Virginia
Beyers' career as an umpire in the Bur
lington County League has ended. He
will officiate no more.
Strange things happen in base ball af-
fairs. One of them is Verga playing with
the ALL Collegiate nine.
Dunn's three base hit was beauty, and
his clean single in the ninth was made at
just the right time. He's all right
By an agreement made after White
Hills former visit to Mount Holly, Berry
and Kelly umpired the game here on Sat
urday.
Umpire Kelly was struck twice on the
chest by passed balls, and on both oc-
casions had to retire from the game for
short time.
Those who witnessed the Cuban Giant
game at Burlington saw many amusing
things, but Jacky Naylor couldn't see one
occurrence to be funny over.
Rogers, one of Beverly's fielders, threw
his arm out trying to catch runner at
home plate, and will possibly retire from
the game for the balance of the season.
Green telegraphed on Saturday morning
that he would be unable to play on ac-
count of illness. Fortunately Adams
came up to see the game, and he filled the
vacancy
Wilson occupied the box for Chester
against the Allentown, Pa, league club
on Wednesday. He was wofully ineffec-
tive and was taken out after the game
was lost. The final score was 1S to O.
Perkins, formerly of the Mount Holly
club, is playing star game in the Maine
State League. He is one of the heaviest
hitters in the league. Boston, it is said,
is endeavoring to make deal for his re-
lease.
One of the Philadelphia papers stated
that the Cuban Giants defeated the cream
of the Burlington County League" at
Burlington on Tuesday. Most of the
spectators thought it was a skim milk ag-
gregation.
The idea held by some that right field
is not an important position and can be
filed by anyone is erroneous. The value
of irst-class man in right field was
demonstrated Saturday, when Kelly made
three difficult catches.
Turner, Beverly's clever second base
man and captain, had rib broken during
the Palmyra game on August 5th by col
liding with another player while running
after fly ball. He will be out of the
game for week or two.
For the first time in the history of the
League, Mount Holly has received word
of praise from Beverly. Even then it
wasn't simply the spontaneous outburst of
good fellowship, for there were Interior
motives. However, it wasn't protest
this time.
Jimmy Berry started in to umpire the
Cuban Giant game, and Stecher went in
on second base for Burlington. They did
not perform to suit the rooters and Mana
ger Cunningham had to remove them
The Burlington rooters control things on
that end of the line.
The Cuban Giant Burlington game on
Tuesday was uninteresting, the colored
men having walk-over Hesley was an
easy problem for the Giants, being batted
freely. Toward the latter part of the
game some of the colored batters walked
to first base in order to be put out The
score was 10 to 2.
Mr.. Neaos, Dan Mills is to our knowl-
edge still with the Beverly team. We are
highly pleased with his playing both in
the field and at the bat. The gentleman
referred to in the article which you cred
tied was very anxious to resign. - eosrzy
Banner. That's great relief. 1t quiets
considerable anxiety. We are all warm
admirers of Dan and are delighted to know
there are others
