Beakey for Smithville; Brick and Cook

dumb and reported to be a very clever
pitcher.
Mount Holly ought to win. Its battery
costs from $12 to $15 week, yet that
particular spot in the team has been re
sponsible for nearly all the defeats this
season. The best victory and the finest
game was with a lad in the pitchers box,
whose services did not cost cent.
Captain Dick Peck, of the Mount Holly

full followers, reported 100 per cent.
stronger than at their previous encounters"

ball game and incidentally $40 on the
side. They returned home very quietly,
minus the ten. Score to 0.
In fast game of one hour and five
minutes the Grubbs, of Beverly, were de-
feated at Florence Saturday by the club at
the latter place. Errors in the third lost
the game, which was the most exciting

one of the hardest parts of the agreement
so far as Mount Holly is concerned as 1t
seems to be the rule that nobody knows
until the nine goes on the field who is GO
