The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1899-08-22

Medford's ball club visited Marlton OF
Saturday and after seven innings, witt
the score SO to in favor of the visitors
all hands decided that the weather was de
pressing and decided to quit.
The:Beverly outfeld was hampered il
their work by the rough character of tn,
ground. Rogers errors were on very diff
ficult chances. He retired from the gam,
in the sixth inning, Randall taking hi,
place.
White Hill certainly has large number
of attractive damsels Quite lot of then
were at the station to greet the Noun
Holly players on Saturday Then, aftel
the game, two of the prettiest ones were
so kind in offering consultations.
Mr. Cunningham probably strives hard
er than any other manager in the League
to have games played with the least
amount of friction. He is always disposed
to be fair, and keeps three or four officers
on the ground to maintain order, too.
One of the attractions at the ball game
next Saturday will be Jacky Naylor, the
funniest man in Burlington You will
have no difficulty in recognizing him.
The first man who comes in with priestly
face and mouth all wool and yard wide,
that's Jacky.
THE press tickets are little slow in
coming, but they may be in time for next
year" This is from the Burlington Ga
zette, and is the second of similar ma
ture. The Gazette thinks each club should
be compelled to issue press tickets admit
ting newspaper men from all parts of the
county to its grounds. On what basis Jacky
Naylor claims this courtesy is hard to
imagine. If abuse, slurs, discourteous
and unprofessional treatment are to be
taken into consideration then Jacky is
entitled to a peck of tickets, especially
from the Mount Holly management.
However, we do not want to be hard. If
you are short quarter, Jacky, send us
word, and we will gvie you pass for
next Saturday.
A meeting of the League was held at
Burlington on Wednesday evening, the
principal business being the considera-
ton of protests from Delanco They OBJ
jected to four players signing with any
club in the League. Against one of those
protested some ugly charges were made,
but the young man was present and be-
fore the meeting was ended he showed
that the supposed grievances were great
lY exaggerated. Queen, who pitched for
Mount Holly, was also protested, but that
matter was quickly settled by the Mount
Holly manager stating he had, on hearing
Delanco's statement, discharged Queen.
Delanco entered protests against four of
its former players, giving as an object
that it desired to punish" these fellows
by keeping them out of the game. And
this is how they did the furnishing. "
Queen was not allowed to pitch for Mount
Holly. Ships, against whom they seem
to have special spite, played with Bor-
dentown, presumably given an honorable
release by Delanco, and Demorest was
given one of the highest honors, the po-
sition of umpire. Incidentally it might
also be remarked that Delanco, regardless
of the rule requiring players to be named
in advance, played two men on Saturday
who were not on its list. There is no OBJ
lection coming on this point, but when a
club starts in to stick on fine points il
should do so in all instances.
Charles Snyder, once prince of base ball
catchers, was committed to the Camden
Jail shortly before one o'clock Sunday

battery, with intent to kill his father,
John F. Snyder, on July 10. Snyder left
the state after the assault and did not re-
turn until Saturday, when he made re-
peated threats that he would kill his father
on sight. Mr.. Snyder, who recently
