NOTES.
Riverside made ten errors
/ They act like hoodlums at Riverside.
Florence is only one game behind the
leaders.
Denness drew three and Kingdom four
bases on balls.
Tobin was overworked The wild
pitching was terrific.
Ward, formerly of the Riverside club,
is pitching for Florence.
The crowd settles disputes at Riverside,
instead of the captains of the teams.
Hammer, formerly of Palmyra, is now
covering second base for Mount Holly.
| Five pitchers were used in the game at
Riverside Dunn was by far the best in
the lot
Eberhardt's arm is in bad shape. He is
not likely to be in condition to occupy the
box again this season.
Brown, formerly pitcher for Mount
Holly, was in the box for Norristown, on
Saturday, against Blacks Camden team,
who got but five hits off of him.
The Palmyra club has been reorganized
by the old board of directors and will
again put strong team in the field. Mr..
Wertz has been elected manager.
Riverside will put the county 'sitters'
to Sleep" said the Burlington Gazette last
week, which was only another exhibition
of that papers damphool Judgment.
Flint would have been justified in for
feiting the game to Mount Holly in the
/ first inning on account of his rough treat
ment at the hands of the mob and the
general disorder on the grounds.
Palmyra will play at Mount Holly on
Saturday. 1t will not be walkover for
the home team by any means, as Palmyra
is playing good ball. Come out and give
the boys a substantial recognition.
What good thing for all hands that
the fire bell rang. Riverside was tired
out trying to prevent Mount Holly from
scoring and the latter was completely ex-
hausted at making so many hits and runs.
In the first two innings Of the game at
Riverside one might have thought it was
the Florence grounds. Threats to mob
the umpire, with one or two attempts to
strike him, made things look very ugly at
one time.
Moorestown beat the Globe Ticket Com
pany on Saturday. The game lasted but
six innings, the score being Is to in ia
vor of Moorestown. Taylor pitcher of
the latter club, struck out IL men in the
six innings.
After the second inning of the Cuban
Giant game at Burlington, the captain of
the colored team said: Glow many did we
maker" When told that six runs were
scored, he said: "Well, that's enough; let
up on EN-"
The comfort of players is not looked af-
ter as carefully on some grounds as it
should be. In one of the games on Satur-
day the manager of the visiting team was
compelled to twice pay boy to carry wa
ter for his men to drink.
Florence has strengthened considera-
bly, and is standing near the top of the
! list. The new men are Sheehan, late
catcher in the Southern League; Collier,
second base, from the University of Penn
sylvania; Ward, pitcher, late with River
side.
Mount Holly will be at home again on
Saturday. We will have three games in
succession. The club is playing good ball
and should be encouraged to keep it up
until the end of the season. We have a
splendid chance to land the pennant, but
the patronage of the public is needed to
make success.
Jack McFetridge pitched for Roxbor-
ough on Saturday, and the report of the
game SAYS he showed 1900 people that he
is not "superannuated. He got a glow
ing headline 'tMcFetridge won the game. I"
That was because he scored the winning
run The opposing team touched McFet-
ridge for 10 hits
Burlington would have made better
show with it's regular pitcher in the Cuban
Giant game, says the Enterprise. What
great thing hindsight is. Perhaps that
is so. The management was evidently
afraid to try him, and preferred to use
Eberhardt even with the knowledge of
what that pitcher did on the previous Sat
urday.
From the funny pen of Weary Walker,
of the Burlington Gazette: ''What the
Riverside team will do to Mount Holly
tomorrow will be caution. Stecher
was up here on Tuesday to see Eberharde
pitch, and went away with an all-wool
smile yard wide.' Stecher's smile after
the game on Saturday was all-rag and
less than an inch wide.
| The Burlington Enterprise takes excep-
tions to our remark that Mount Holly has
won two and Burlington one game this
season, and says we forget that game. on
the Fourth. Now anybody with grain
of Judgment knows perfectly well that
the remark 'two out of three" meant
league games. The two we referred to
were the game in which Burlington was
shut out by the score of to 0, and that
in which the visitors barely escaped
whitewashing, the score being 8 to 1. But
perhaps Burlington has forgotten those
! two contests. No doubt she would like
to erase them from her memory.
The Cuban x Giants played base bal
at Burlington, on Tuesday, and of course
did the local team up to the Queens taste
Eberhardt, Mount Holly's pitcher, was II
the box for Burlington. The darkies tool
kindly to his delivery and hit him abou
as freely as they would have hit any othel
man who had been pitching The Bur
lington papers, sore over the way in which
the colored men made monkies of thei
pets blamed Eberhardt for the whole bus
mess. despite the fact that their star play
ers had errors and their double stars
Dobbins and McDade, had two each. Il
