the conveniences have been added, name
ly, grand stand and bleachers and waite
connections.
Wilson was technically at bat only on,
time and then he got hit The othe
three times he was up he made sacrifc,
and got two bases on balls
Florence is the first town to make {
kick about Ayers umpiring. The Other
teams for which he has OBLIGATED have
found him to be satisfactory.
Bob Black, pitcher last year for Mount
Holly, has been put on the league list OF
umpires. He off1ciated at Beverly on Sat
urday, and gave satisfaction.
Bordentown has released pitcher Garry
Miller and signed RAFFERTY,, who occupied
the box on Saturday and did fairly well,
but is not entirely satisf actory.
Florence won at Mount Holly and
Mount Holly won at Florence. What
will the result be next Saturday, when
the clubs again face each other?
About 200 of Burlingt on's citizens went
to Beverly on Saturday, to see their pet
team beaten. 1t was quiet crowd that
sadly wendell its way homeward.
Wilson was very steady and effective,
particularly at critical stages. It was a
novelty for Mount Holly rooters not to
see any opposing batter given a base on
balls
Carfrey made his first appearance on the
Mount Holly team, covering second base.
He had two put-outs and three assists,
taking every chance that came in his di-
rection.
Cunningham is on top in the base ball
war at Burlington. The old club is sid
ing with him, and Atkinson has been re-
leased as manager. Bill Hoover is acting
as captain and manager.
The Burlington Gazette yesterday pre-
dicted The NEWS would be printed in red,
white and blue, to-day, owing to the base
ball victory. Well, we do feel pretty
good, but nothing blue. That blue feel
ing is all in Burlington.
No league umpire has been satisfactory
at Florence, and it is not likely that any
one of the staff will be. The rooters there
are evidently accustomed to having all
close decisions given in favor of the home
club.
Riverside defeated the Crescent club in
a well-played game excepting the first in
ming, in which Riverside made three err
rors. After that they outplayed the visi-
tors, winning by the score of to 2. The
Riverside club is playing good ball.
Brown did not appear at Florence on
account of the death of his wife on Fri
day. Dunn played third base, but had
only one chance. He is a handy man on
the team, as he can fill any position cred
itably with the possible exception of
catcher.
Florence's ball ground is made up of
hills and valleys. The left fielder's po-
sition is on knoll, on all sides of which
there is considerable slope This accounts
for Gilkeson's two errors, one of which
was a muff of difficult fly, and the other
a passed ground ball.
While Beverly may have some players
who have been at the game ever since its
inception, there are some others who are
carrying a lot of seasoned material
Mount Holly has just added Eddie Car
frey, who, while he is star can scarcely
claim that this is his first season. Any
one who picks Carfrey for has been"
makes a mistake. Watch his game after
he gets limbered up.-Phila. Times.
Considerable fault-tnding was INDUCED
in at the Palmyra Delanco game on &C
count Of Mitchells umpiring. Something
must be wrong when Torrie, who is usual
ly exceedingly mild in making kicks,
leaves a game on account of rank decis-
ions. The principal objection seems to
have been on decisions about two or three
balls that were considered hits but were
declared fouls. Delanco suffered in each
case.
Dick Seeds pitched for Morrisville, on
their ground on Saturday, in game
against the Trenton Y. M. G. A., and won
by the score of to 1. He was steadier
than usual, giving only four bases on
balls, and allowing the other side four
hits. He struck out Is hands. Each club
got four stolen bases. Nori, an Indian,
occupied the box for the visitors. He
struck out ten men and had seven hits
made off his delivery. It was pitchers
battle, with Seeds getting the better sup
port. The score was 1 to until the ninth
inning, when by a combination of errors
and hits, the Morrisville team scored six
runs. The Morrisville rooters had the Y
NJ. G. A. boys ratified in the last inning.
The Florence rooters treated Ayers, the
umpire, in shameful manner, calling him
vile names and threatening him with per-
sonal violence. In order to prevent an
eruption, it was necessary for two con-
stables and Captain West to escort the Of
fetal from the ground. West also accom-
panied the umpire to the station and saw
him safely on the train for Camden. The
Florence club acted in a very gentlemanly
manner, and majority of the players ex-
pressed themselves as being satisfied with
the umpiring, which was above the aver
age for fairness and good judgment. Not
once was the.game stopped on account of
any dispute, and it is difficult to deter
mine just where any fault finding was
justifable.
Stone Road Troubles.
All the trouble over imperfect building
of stone roads is not confined to the dis
trict in charge of Supervisor Davis. In
Mansfield township the contractor has
been complaining that the farmers who
are doing the carting of stone and other
material do not load heavy enough.
