Queen pitched for Reading again on
Saturday, and was touched up for IL hits,
three of which were two baggers.
Burlington and Mount Holly have been
engaged to give an exhibition game at

That error of Lynch at Mount Holly
lost him his position. As result Bur
liugton had less monkey business on Sat
urday and won the game.
The game played between Bordentown
and White Hill, on May 80, was an ex-
hibition contest. and not one of the league
series, as heretofore stated.
Burlington had the pleasure of being the
first club to beat Florence. Sorry we
could not have had the honor, but willing
ly give to Burlington the credit she de-
serves
Barclay, Burlington's catcher, has
signed with the Roanoke, Va, club. The
vacancy on the Burlington team will be
filled by their last years catcher, Wilmer
Black.
Queen, Mount Holly's released pitcher,
went to Reading last week and officiated
in the box for team in that city. In
two games the following were charged
against him: hits, 43; two-b base hits, 10;
three base hits, 6; home runs, 2; wild
pitch, 1; hit by pitcher, 9; struck out 2.
There will be good game at Burling-
ton this afternoon between the home team
and the Inquirer team from Philadelphia.
Fischman, Mount Holly's third baseman,
will play with the Inquirer, and Denness
will cover first base for Burlington. The
three O'Clock trolley will be in time for the
game.
There are a number of Mount Holly
bows working at the shoe trade in Boston.
When the Chicago team went to that city
last week, the Mount Holly contingent
called on Green, and extended the glad
hand to him. They also went to see the
game and Green set them wild by drive
over the fence the first time he went to
bat
A meeting of the league was called for
Friday evening, but there was not quor
UNI present, Burlington, Mount Holly and
Bristol being represented. The manager
from the latter city crossed the river in
rowboat, while others who could easily
have reached Burlington by train, failed
to show the same interest as was mani
tested by the Pennsylvania man.
There should be some rule compelling
clubs to be on hand in time to begin the
game at 8. 80. When Bordentown went to
Burlington it had no difficulty in getting
to that city by the time mentioned, but on
| its visit to Mount Holly it was, as usual,
| late. This seems to be an intentional
effort on the part of Bordentown in its
games here which little effort by Mana
ger Holzbaur could remedy.
| On Saturday three men sauntered up
Wood lane and climbed the fence into the
ball ground, They were noticed by
George French, who has been appointed
special officer for the purpose of catching
such fellows At first they denied jump
ing the fence, then they said they did not
propose to pay quarter to see the game.
| George told them it would cost them
more than quarter if they did not hand
over the price of admission. Finally the
fellows went out as they entered, went
around to the gate, paid their fee and
walked in in the regular manner. This
matter of sneaking into the grounds is
going to be stopped.
How funny some things are. When
Verga was released, the base ball funny
man of the Burlington Gazette, noted the
! fact and added: "Verga has had the nerve
to apply to Burlington for position
Well, Verga's so-called nerve seems te
have worked, for he was on third base TO
Burlington on Saturday, and the funn,
man says of him: 'Verga, the man tina
! Mount Holly threw away, put up a grea
} game for the home team" In a larg
: headline Verga is called sure batsman.
: After reading all this a glance at the scor
shows that Verga did not get hit an
had two errors. This was truly a ''grei
game,
