Fire Rues in Jail.

On Tuesday morning, August 2Sth, at
an early hour, the outbuildings on the
farm of Hudson B. Haines, near Rance
cas-, were destroyed by fire. The origin
of the fire was believed to have been by
an incendiary who had grudge against
the owner Suspicion pointed toward
Charles and Frank Smith, of WestamptoD
township as being the guilty persons and
they were accordingly placed under arrest
and committed to Jail. The former bears
a very bad reputation in the township.
Justice John D. Clevenger gave the men
a hearing at the jail on Tuesday morning,
and from the testimony given by the wit
nesses examined by Prosecutor Atkinson,
the prisoners were held for court The ties
timony was to the effect that Charles Smith
had on more than one occasion threatened
to burn Mr.. Haines out. Frank stated that
Oh aries informed him he was going to
fire the buildings and the two men were
together the previous afternoon and even
ing.
There was an effort made by Charles
Smith to prove an alibi by Aaron Stiles,
of near Smithville, by whom he was en-
ployed when arrested. Mr.. Stiles said de-
PENDANT came home from Centreton about
eight o'clock the night in question and
retired at ten, and started to work about

Monday night and was not seen again I'M

at Riverton and brought him to the JUS

Justice Evans, however, could not see
where there was any evidence to connect
the prisoner with the crime and therefore
discharged him Mr.. Conklin's house is
situate on the Riverton road and was
broken into in the day time, a large num-

BASE BALL.
COUNTY LEAGUE SEASON ENDED
MOUNT HOLLY WINS THE PENNANr.

At a meeting of the County Base Bal
League, held at Burlington on Wednesday
night, it was decided to discontinue the
scheduled games this season. Mount
Holly being ahead in the number of games
played, was declared the winner of the
pennant for 1900.
| As Florence and Bordentown have
dropped from the League, Palmyra and
Bristol had no more scheduled games after
September LIST, and interest in the other
contests was tagging. Then, too, many
of the games of late have been so one
sided that the spectators became dissatis-
fed. All phases of the situation being
considered it was deemed wise to discon-
tinue.
Riverside entered claim for the game
played with Florence on June 16, and it
was granted. That game, it will be re-
membered, was first ordered forfeited to
Riverside for a violation of the rules by
Florence. Afterward the League decided
that it should be played over. One at
tempt to play it resulted in no game on
account of rain After that the managers
could not agree on date although Riv-
erside claimed it was willing to play at
almost any time.
The season being closed, the official
standing of the clubs was declared to be
as follows:
w. LP.c. w. L PC.
Mount Holly Ii 4 .765 Bristol 6 II 1893
Burlington II $50 PALMYRA 6 IL 1888
Riverside II .6E White Hill II Sl3
The table below shows how each series
of games resulted. 1t will be noticed that
Mount Holly did not lose series to any
club, while Burlington lost only one (to
Mount Holly, and Riverside only one Ito
Palmyra).

Last season Beverly got the champion
ship. Their percentage of games won
was TIA, or .051 less than the pennant
winners of 1900 White Hill finished sec
ond last year, with percentage Of $50.
This season it is the ail-ender with per
centage of 313. Delanco was at the bot
tom in 1899, their standing being .143.
Palmyra, Bordentown and Florence stand
in about the same relative positions as last
year.
Batting and Fielding Averages.
Below will be found the averages of the
Mount Holly and Burlington clubs and of
their individual players who participated
in five or more League games The aver
ages of Hammer, Faust and Mood includ e
the records made while playing with Pal
myra.
The most noticeable feature ascer tanned
from Mount Holly's figures is the teams
heavy batting average. $50. This was
the principal factor in earning the cham
pionship for the county seaters.
In the II games the club made 216 base
hits Gan average of about 1873 per game),
while the total number registered by the
opposing teams was IA Can average of a
trifle less than 80.
Perkins batting and fielding percent
ages are extraordinarily high. He not
only made 80 hits while " times at bat
but many of them were doubles, triples
and home runs. His total bases number
rs, which is almost an average of two bags
for each hit. His long hits were home
runs, 5 triples and doubles.
Rogers, of Burlington, also demonstrated
his hitting abilities, his percentage being
.492 He easily gets first place in batting
on the Burlington list.
Although the detailed scores from the
other clubs in the League have not all
been received there is no doubt about
Perkins and Rogers leading the League
in batting in the order named.

The League season having closed, a
series of three exhibition games was ar
ranged with Burlington, the first of which
took place on Saturday on the Burlington
ground.
The visitors could not hit Randall, and
made number of costly errors

box Both teams made only eight hits.
The second game will take place at the
fair ground, Mount Holly, next Saturday.

ball. Burlington win come here deter
mined to win. Mount Holly will be
ready for them. This will be the last
game to be seen here this season. Come
out and give US good audience.
Last weeks News said Mount Holly
was acknowledged to be the hardest hit
ting team in the League. Who said so,
joey Burlington Enterprise. The fig
ures printed in another column and made
up from the official scores tell the tale.
Before the game on Saturday, Dobbins,
captain of the Burlington team, went to
his pitcher and gave him orders not to let
Perkins have hit, but to send him down
on balls. Randall tried to follow instruc-
tions, but Perkins got in clean hit just
the same.
Don't blame umpire Mulholland for
roasting Burlington in all his decisions.
Mount Holly caught it just as badly. The
decision declaring Perkins out at first
when Dobbins was nowhere near the bag,
and that where Fischman was compelled
to retire on second hurt us very much.
The Burlington rooters are quite noisy,
but they do not rush to the field and try
and stop the game, nor do they insult the
players The worst gang at the game on
Saturday was the crowd of unwashed
citizens who sat on neighboring fence
and witnessed the play without coughin G
up a quarter.
