the Vincentown ladies gave peach festi-
val for the benefit of their club, for which

The Hamilton team went up to River
side to try conclusions with the team of
that place. 1t was good game, each side
having one error Hamilton scored one

Pemberton and Medford came together
on Saturday in game that was worth
witnessing There was a large crowd
present. Mount Holly being without a
game several went from here to witness
the contest The rooters for both teams
were on hand in force. Some of the re-
marks that were in good shape on the pre-
vious Saturday when Pemberton shut
New Egypt out were brought to light and
they sounded funny for awhile, but as the
game progressed they seemed to lose their
fielded and the last decision rendered by
the umpire the Pemberton hackers went
down the hill feeling just as others have
felt many time before. Craig, who has
shown his ability on other occasions,
pitched for Pemberton, but the others
seemed to like his delivery for they
touched him up for IA hits, while Hafner,
Medford's boy wonder, held his opponents
down to five hits, and struck out ten men.
There were few errors in the game, Medford
not having any, Pemberton being charged
with two. Medford made one run in eacl
of the first three innings and then were
held down until the eighth when they
tailed four more, total of seven. A row
of ciphers was Pemberton's share Gusts
umpired.
