ton Field Club, Saturday, by the score of

interesting game in which the latter was
successful by the score of to 4.

On Wednesday it defeated Pemberton by
the score of to 5. On Saturday, Home
stead, of Burlington, was beaten-5 to 0.
Bristol was the scene of an exciting
game on Saturday, when the Foundry
team of Burlington, won by the score of
to 8, but it took twelve innings to do the
trick.
On Carnival day, at New Egypt, the
Pemberton club took the game of base
ball from New Egypt by the score of to
2. This makes two games out of three to
Pemberton's credit.
Medford will play the Philadelphia
Giants tomorrow. The game of last year
was child's play, the Giants hitting and
running at will. Medford says this will
not be repeated tomorrow, and that the
visitors will be compelled to play ball.
Pemberton is making great preparations
| for its contest with Medford on Labor
Day. when it will play two games at the
latter place, A special train has been en-
gagged and large crowd will go from
Pc mberton, with a special compartment
on the car for the horns and megaphones.
Ike Fenton, the boy who has been pitch
ing all season for the New Egypt club, de-
serted that nine Friday and will finish out
the season with the Pemberton team.
Fenton became displeased when he was
removed from the box in the game against
Hightstown Thursday, and Immediately
resi- gned from the club.
Mount Holly went to Medford, on Satur-
day, with team of players that should
have ensured victory from the start and
the way they went at it seemed to indicate
such result. In the first inning they
secured three runs After that they went
to pieces at critical moments and allowed
Medford to score four runs and win the
game Vickery, the oldtime pitcher, was
in the box for Mount Holly, and he show
ed up in great form, Medford's heavy
hitters being unable to get more than two
hits in the entire game, but misplays and
errors on Mount Hollys part more than
offset the pitching.
The Grub team, of Beverly, went to
Beverly, on Saturday, to try conclusions
with Perkins stars. On the preceding
Saturday team from Palmyra ran up
against the Camdenites, who found them
an east mark They had an idea that
that Grubbs would prove likewise, but
they soon found otherwise, and it was
only by the sharpest playing that the
Camden men were able to secure vic
tory. Wood, who pitched for the Beverly
term, kept Perkins men guessing and
they were only able to roll up but four
hits, two of which came from Fred's re-
liable bat, both netting run, The score
was a to in favor of Camden.
The Pemberton Field Club certainly has
lots of sporting blood in its membership
1t has already given the people of this
neighborhood many fine exhibitions of
the National game, and next Thursday 1t
will have the greatest attraction ever of
fered in this county. The two colored
base ball clubs, the Cuban X Giants and
the Wilmington Giants, have been en-
gagged to play game on the Pemberton
grounds on that day. The great ball
played by these two clubs is well known
to all who follow the records Last week
they had contest in which the score was
l to 0. The game on Thursday will not
be listless affair, but will be a spirited
contest from start to finish. A League
umpire has been engaged and there will
not be any wrangling or disputing his de.
cisions. Game will begin at $50 The
Pemberton people have gone to great ex-
pense to secure this attraction and their
efforts should be rewarded by a large
crowd to witness the game.
The base ball employees of the Burling-
ton County Railway Company, who went
to Camden on special car, Tuesday after
noon, to play return game with the Pub
lie Service Corporation men, came home
wilted and detected, looking like bunch
of candocks on a mud flat at low tide.
When they reached Mount Holly on the
return trip, friends awaited the announce
ment of another glorious victory, such as
was drubbed into the Camden gang at
Rancocas Park, but their long faces and
haggard looks told of the crushing defeat
without word being spoken. A mantle
of sympathy was at once extended to the
players. who were permitted to recover
from the shock before the details were
asked for. 1T was this way, +" said Jimmy
Stills. Jack Burk padded up for the
occasion and with the assistance of our six
errors his bunch threw the harpoon into
us good and hard. Just think of it, they
made eight runs in the second inning,
which put them to the good all right.
Had 1t not been for Warner, our short
stop, who seemed to be off his trolley, we
} should have won the game by a score of A
to g." The game was a lopsided affair,
the score being 10 to 4. "You might
know that something would happen to us
stitfs from Tom Dennisville," suggested
ky Reeves. "They had us from the be-
ginning, because the game was umpired
by II. B. Earnest, an undertaken living Al
a Collingswood. That queried the whole
business" Wolfrom made two hits, on,
of them being good for three bags. Beai
