Snoring Notes.

The ]. F. Budd team, of Burlington,
appears to have gone out of business.
Medford also went out of business after
the game with Mount Holly.
Medford Athletics and Marlton had a
very interesting game at Medford, on
Saturday, in which the former were vic
torious. Score, 6 to 5.
Pemberton will play on the Mount
Holly grounds on Saturday. 1t is to be
hoped the Mount Holly team will try to
give good game on this occasion.
White Hill had an easy time on Satur-
day, when the Broad Street Park, OF
Trenton, played them at Bordentown.
The score was White Hill, II; Broad
Street Park. 4.
| Mount Holly went to Pemberton on
Thursday and secured victory over the
team at that place. The playing was not
up to the standard of either club In the
sixth inning with three Pemberton men
on base, Jones dropped fly ball and the
three scored Even at that Mount Holly
won by the scor of to 5.
In the game on the Mount Holly grounds
on Saturday there was a novel decision.
There was Mount Holly. runner on third
| base and the coacher ran down the line to
the home plate with the evident intention
of rafting the pitcher. Beverly at once
insisted that the man on the base was out,
regardless of the fact that he had not
moved. There was quite a discussion
over the point and the matter was settled
by Manager Denness ordering the runner
to go out. The News referred this matter
to Frank Hough, sporting editor of the
Philadelphia Inquirer. and that gentleman.
who is an authority, says: Whether or
not the pitcher (who had the BALD, made
a wild throw or did not. or anything or
nothing resulted, the worst the umpire
could do would be to send the coacher to
the bench for being out of his box.
He could not touch the runner. Many
umpires would not even send the man to
the bench" In short, Mr.. Hough says
that an umpire who would declare a run
ner out on such play would be an animal
with long ears. 1t is evident that Beverly
does not know all the game.
Beverlys players were ready to SCRAP
on the slightest provocation. The ground
rules provided that on an overthrow tC
first base the runner should be entitled to
another base This occurred once and
when the runner went down to second the
other side kicked because the umpire
would not call him out. In another In
stance the batter made a third strike
which the catcher failed to hold The
runner did not start on the instant anC
the catcher did not throw to first claiming
the man was out for not running. The
umpire said no, and the Beverly team
left the field, but after awhile returned
