1t was Mount Holly's last game for this
season.
Three hits Yet they say the pitcher
| was in the air.
| Burlingtons fielding was somewhat of
the hot air variety.
They're real nice fellows, but they're
not quite fast enough.
Perkins made three hits Rogers made
none, but struck out twice.
The trolley carried 200 people to Bur
| lington on Saturday afternoon.
The Enterprise says fully 1000 people
saw the game" The gate receipts showed
526 people on the ground.
Frank Gregory the fast centre-felder
of the Bordentown club, returned from q
three months trip to Europe, on Friday
The betting was very light. The Bur
lington sports took to cover, not having
any confidence of winning. They dis
played good judgment.
'tWait until next year" says the Enter
prise. That's the same gold brick the
Philadelphia management has worked off
on it's patrons for years past.
''Conn was too much" for them is the
opinion of one Burlington paper The
other one says Conn did not prove such
terror after ALL Queer, isn't it?
Burlington has superior team, say
the papers of that city. Where would
they have been without Justice and Van
degrift? They made two of Burlington's
three hits.
About the only satisfaction the Burling-
ton people got out of the game were the
glowing reports of ''the close call, (" and
the denunciation of the Mount Holly
manager for signing Conn
Conn did it ALL say the Burlington
papers Look at the score in the same
issues and you will see that Burlington had
eight errors, while Mount Holly made but
one. The Burlington field had IS chances
Randall pitched an elegant game against
Mount Holly in the first of the series, but
to make the victory sure Justice was en-
gagged. That was all right. For Mount
Holly to strengthen in the same way was
all wrong.
The Burlington reports of the game
say Conn was in the air" during the
seventh inning. The only air noticeable
| in that inning was that which was famed
by Dobbins and Rogers, two of Burling
| toms best hitters.
Burlington had great amount of sport
with Mount Holly last season because we
changed players so often, but there has
not been much said on that point this
year. Burlington had about % players on
| it's roll this season. Of that number three
played in all the games. two in 10, one in
| 10. Mount Holly had three men in all the
games, three in all but one, and one in all

Mount Holly's base ball season closed on
Saturday AS an exhibition of fine ball
work it has been all that could have been
desired, financially it was the same old
story. The members of the team are en-
titled to credit for serving so faithfully.
Perkins, Logan and Dunn did not miss a
game Berry was compelled to lay off in
one game owing to injuries received at
Florence. Fischman was in every game
after he was signed, missing but one,
Kingdom missed one while on his vacation,
and Denness was out of three, not getting
| limbered up until the warm weather set
in Those who attended the games and
who feel proud that we have landed the
pennant, return thanks to the players who
did the work.
