Thursday was big day at New Egypt,
it being the date for the second game of
base ball between the Pemberton and
New Egypt clubs. The Union Transpor-
tation Company put two extra cars on its
afternoon train and they were needed for
there were large number of enthusiasts
who got on at the stations between Biz
mingham and New Egypt. Quite num-
Der came from Mount Holly. At the sta
ton when the train stopped the visitors
were greeted with music by the New |
Egypt band which marched to the ground |
followed by crowd of admirers. The
inhabitants and the boarders at the thriv- |
ing village turned out in force and by the
time the game began there were at least
800 spectators present. AS an exhibition
of base ball the game was all that could
be desired, but as a test between the two
clubs it was of no account whatever
Pemberton, having in mind the very beau
tiful drubbing administered on its home
grounds by New Egypt a short time ago,
was afraid to meet its opponents with its
regular team and Philadelphia was drawn
on for players regardless of cost. Four
of the nine were of the regular team
New Egypt, with the knowledge that
Pemberton would be loaded, concluded to
play the same game, and hauled heavily
from the Florence club. Rhubart, the
crack pitcher, who once had the idea be
was good enough for the National League,
was in the box for New Egypt, and the
way in which the other fellows landed |
him all over the lot was enough to make
the sand burrs hide their heads Sixteen
clean hits was the record against him.
Conway. Pemberton's regular pitcher,
oft1ciated for that club and was as steady
as clock. Four hits were all that could
be charged against him. The double UNI
pire system was used, Rogers for New
Egypt, Hewlings for Pemberton. There
were the usual disputes over some of the
rulings but Rogers appeared to be off in
his judgment of balls and strikes. Run
getting by Pemberton began in the first
inning and was not stopped except in the
fifth, sixth and eighth innings 1t looked
like shut out for New Egypt, until the
eighth inning, when the ice was broken
and four runs were scored. The score
ended to a.
There will be another game between
New Egypt and Pemberton. 1t will be a
corker.
The game in reality was Florence VS.. a
picked team of semi professionals from
AL Hewlings umpired good game.
What errors he made went to the 1eft
of the New Egypt team.
The general impression was that Mana
ger Thompson would have done better if
he had put his left hand batters in the
game.
The New Egypt sports had great faith
in Rhubart, and backed their tesm to the
benefit of the pockets of the Pemberton
