the know -alls" missed it again. 1t wa
not fiuke victory either, but was
achieved by clean hitting and good base
running.
1t was one of the most exciting finishes
ever seen on the fair ground. For eight
innings Mount Holly's hits numbered but
four, and the score stood A to 2 in favor OF
White Hill. In the ninth the home team
punched few hits and tied the score.

ately, scoring twice in the next inning
the fifth. Church reached first on an
error by Logan, and stole second. He
went to third on Quigley's sacrifice and
crossed the plate on G.. Hesley's two
Dagger to left field, the latter afterward

the ball, threw to Mcguire, and Stanton
was forced out. G. Hesley was safe on

made fine three base hit and scored on
Denness' sacrifice. Mcguire was out, G.

into Mealey's hands Score a to- 2.
Both sides drew goose egg in the
eighth and the visitors got another blank
in the ninth. The game was nearly over
and the spectators thought it would be. a
defeat for Mount Holly.
But as has been remarked eight or ten
thousand times before, ball game is not
ended until the last batter has been re-
tired.
Logan started the trouble by rapping
out a pretty two-bagger to left centre.
Dunn made a clean single, and Logan
sprinted home. Mcguire was safe on
Jarrett's drop Of thrown ball, Dunn 60
ing to second. Dunn stole third and
scored on Denness' hit. Adams struck
out and Kingdom and Queen were retired
on infield grounders. Score 4 to and
everybody excited.
Queen was somewhat nervous when he
stepped into the box in the tenth, to over
come which he wisely became very de-
liberate in his delivery. F. Stanton was
out on grounder to Denness, and Mealey.
singled. Furth hit hot, line fly which
looked safe but was caught by Logan,
who made quick return of the ball to
Denness, catching Mealey off the bag, and
completing Mount Holly's third double
play during the game. Score to 4.
Mount Holly's opportunity had now
arrived and it was not allowed to pass
unembraced Gleason was out on close
decision at first, the assist being made by
Church. Kelly singled, stole second, and
was advanced to third by Logan's sacri-
fee. Two men out, a runner on third,
Dunn to bat, and one tally needed to win
the game; that was the situation Well,
Dunn was equal to the occasion. He hit
a low, twisting fly which Church couldn't
capture, and the agony was over.
