announcement on the bills advertising the
third game of the series between these
two clubs, but it was part Pemberton,
Frankfort, Beverly and elsewhere VS.. five
Y NJ. G. A. of Trenton and four home
players The rain which had prevailed
for couple of days led to the impression
that the game would not be played, but
the enthusiasm of the hackers of the two
clubs was not dampened bit, and when
the noon train from New Egypt arrived it
brought several passengers from that vii
lage, all loaded with money to back their
favorites. The game was scheduled for
3.45 and when that hour arrived there
were about 500 spectators on the ground
But the Trenton auxiliary did not arrive
until four o'clock and it was useless to
think of going to work without them. In
the meantime the sporting element got
to offer wagers. The rules of the Pember-
ton Field Club do not allow the members
to bet on the home grounds. so the task is
delegated to an outsider who represents a
offers.
All sorts of rumors were heard before
the game and there were many whispered
conferences. To all queries whether Penn
Conway gave out the answer was that he
would last but there was another one on
hand for emergencies. The game started
with New Egypt at the bat. The first
man landed on the first ball pitched to
him and when the other side had looked
it up the player was on second base. The
next man struck out, and the third caught
the ball square on the nose. On reaching
first base he fell flat, but even at that he
made third base. He finally got home
and the score was two runs Pemberton
has an enthusiast who gets off warcry
at each game of zone, two, three, out, "
and that was the way it happened to the
home team in the first inning. In the
second New Egypt kept up its batting
and scored another run. In the Pember-
ton half of this inning there came near
being rumpus. Rogers, who was UNI
piring the bases, declared runner out when
the fact was he reached the base and
touched it while the baseman was high in
the air The decision was undoubtedly
wrong There was heated discussion
on this point, but the matter was amicably
settled by the decision being reversed.
The inning ended with no runs New
Egypt was BANKED in the third. and it
looked as if Pemberton was going to do
something, for in its half the ball was
touched up lively and four runs were
scored. This caused great jubilation on
the part of the Pemberton contingent and
the syndicates agent offered all sorts of
money but the Egyptians were shy. In
the fourth inning New Egypt recovered
from the shock and again began business
at the old stand, sending the ball to all
corners of the field. The batting, with
two wild throws by Conway, Melted four
runs and then the New Egypt syndicate
came to life and began to offer bets.
Pemberton did not score. The fourth in
ming was the settler for pitcher Conway
and he was taken from the box and Bint-
lift, the boy wonder of Beverly, was sub
stituted. He started well in the fifth and
prevented the opposing team from scoring
and once more the hopes of Pemberton
took high leap, but in its half the home
team did not get across the rubber. In
fact it did not score after the third inning.
The sixth inning was repetition of some
of the former occurrences. only more so,
and heavy batting, with costly errors,
Melted New Egypt five runs. The seventh
added one more. The score was now 13
to and there was no need of special effort
on the part of the visitors to continue run
getting so they let up on that line but
did not cease their labor to keep Pember-
from scoring, and so the game ended;
New Egypt, 10; Pemberton, 4. Hits made
by Pemberton, Z; by New Egypt, 18.
Errors, New Egypt, 3; Pemberton, 5.
The double umpire system was used,
and with the exception of the instance re-
lated above was very satisfactory. The
umpires were Hewlings and Rogers.
When it looked as if there would be
trouble there was cry from all over the
field to let Hewlings do all the umpiring
but the matter was adjusted and the
1 original system adhered to.
The feeling between the two clubs has
reached a great pitch and rivals that
which existed between Burlington, Mount
Holly and Florence during the days of
the Burlington County League. The
game of Thursday ought to result in a
change in the arrangements for the rest of
the series. If both teams go to padding
as In the last games it would not be sur
prising to see some of the National or
: American League teams on the field. Go
back to the teams that first met on
Pemberton field and stick to it, They
were evenly matched. The contest on
Thursday did not show anything and the
| result does not give any idea of the rela
tive merits of the two teams.
