Carfrey made two hits when they were

Byers and Mitchell have been released
as umpires. Evans should be the next to

One of the features of the Delanco-
Palmyra game was the umpiring of Bob
Black
Florence has lost three games in sue
cession, and has very hard nut to crack
next Saturday White Hill.
Tom Campbell is playing good ball on
the Springfield team. He is fielding mag
niicently and is hitting in good form.
Bruce will pitch two games week for

they play the Lancaster League team.
| Denness hit for double and tive singles
and got a base on balls on Saturday.
| That's pretty good stick work-an average
| of 1000.
1t is said that Gleason has been sus-
pended from the Springfield club on ac-
count of disagreement relative to an in
crease of salary.
Delanco needs scorer with at least
some knowledge of the game 1t is diff
ficult to get anything like correct score
from that team.
That was a rocky game at Burlington.
The home team made lots of errors and
played indiferently all round. Beverly
scored with the utmost ease
Moorestown defeated Westtown on Sat
urday by the score of II to 10. The game
ended in the ninth inning over disputed
decision by the umpire.
| The pitchers apparently didn't try to
fool the batters in the Mount Holly game.
They simply tossed the ball over the plate
to see how far it could be hit
A League umpire did not appear for the
Mount Holly game, so Berry and O'Neill
oficiated. Berry would make an accept
able official for the League staff.
| A new manager is to be elected this
week for the Delanco club, Ships having
resigned. The team is having trouble in
raising sufficient money to keep in the
swim.
From this distance it appears as if Bor-
dentown was not justified in leaving the
field at White Hill. The trouble arose be-.
cause the umpire would not change de-
cision from a ball to a strike.
| The Philadelphia Times says that Gun
der the able treatment of Doc Galbraith
and his oven, Jack McFetridge's good
right arm is once more as good as ever
Burlington's players found his cunning
too deep"
Burlington has released Hitcbner, not
because he didn't play good ball, but on
account of friction with the manager and
ex-manager. Bordentown at once en-
ployed him, and he pitched creditably a
part of the game for them at White HILL
If the League magnates do not have
sense enough to release umpire Evans,
that gentleman should tender his resigna-
ton, for he is obtuse indeed if he does not
realize that he is generally unsatisfactory
The Burlington game again demonstrated
his incompetency.
Riverside defeated Pennsylvania Rail
road in an exciting game on Saturday.
Kervin, who has played in Mount Holly
in number of games, did the pitching
for the visitors. Klemm and Black oc-
cupied the box for Riverside. Each club
made twelve hits. The score was to Z.
At a meeting of the League managers,
J last week, Florence made claim for the
, game, by forfeit, that did not take place
at Burlington on June 10 because the lat
ter club decided the ground too wet. Flor,

It was decided not to allow the claim, but
Burlington was ordered to pay the guar
antee and expenses incurred. The game
