club. He has been pitching number OF
games for Williamstown.
The Burlington Delanco game next Sat

1t was the best game seen in Burlington
this season. The third and deciding game
of the series will be played in Mount
Holly on August Goth.
Catcher Hill was injured several times
during the White Hill game on Saturday,
but pluckily continued until the end. He
has bad thumb now.
Catcher Black again demonstrated his
value as back-stop on Saturday He
prevented several apparently wild pitched
balls from getting past him,
The result of the Beverly Palmyra game
was great surprise. A close contest was
expected, but nobody looked for both a
shut-out and onesided score.
How would Jack Naylor do for an UNI
pire =? He's modest and cheap-left over
from the spring crop of poets. Former
price 10 cents; now two beers.
The Enterprise has not learned yet that
Thackara is no longer on the Burlington
club. 1t had his name in the score pub
lished yesterday. Wake up, Dave.
The Times was not as interesting as
usual on Sunday Among other base ball
items that did not appear was the score of

letic Association, on Wednesday evening,

White Hill will appear again at the fair
ground next Saturday, and an interesting
contest is expected We make no predict

game. Don't fail to be there
Kelly got back from Connecticut on
Friday and appeared on the Mount Holly
team again on Saturday, much to the graf
ification of the rooters The down-ea
clubs are disbanding quite rapidly.
There was considerable jubilation at
White Hill on Saturday night when the
result of the Palmyra Beverly game was
ascertained. The Seward boys feel quite
confident now of winning the pennant.
Rutherford and Wolff, of the Century
Wheelmen club, have been secured by
Beverly for the balance of the season.
Beverly, notwithstanding its loud protests
about padding" seems to think it neces-
sary to strengthen up some.
For some unaccountable reason Beyers
has been reinstated on the staff of umpires.
Earlier in the season he was given a trial,
found to be incompetent, and released,
and nobody was sorry. Now he is offici-
ating again. It's queer, to say the least.
1t will be some time before any other
team secures fourteen hits off Wilson, pro-
vided Manager Gillian dees not interfere.
-PhiIG Times
Well no manager did or will interfere,
as Wilson has been released. That four
teen-hit game was one of the reasons for
his release, too
Our club would be much improved by
stronger batter in one of the outfield posi-
tions. This gentleman should do all in
his power to have our club win the pen
nant and should give way to better bat
tel. Be0ery Banner.
What ! Can this possibly mean Dan
Horrible thought.
