struggle of ten innings. Four hits for
each side was the total.
The Burlington Field Club, which has
had losing streak. took turn on Satur-
day and defeated the Grundy team of
Bristol. The score was closes to 4-but
it was enough to do the business.
One of the sharpest games of Saturday
was that between the Medford Y. NJ. c. A.
and the Moorestown Y. NJ G. A The
latter was not able to make hit or run,
while Medford had to be content with a
single run.
| Not being able to occupy their own
ground on Saturday, because of leasing 1t
to two other clubs for a contest, the Pal
myra Y. NJ C. A. went to Riverside to
meet the U. S. Foundry team, of Burling-
ton. The latter was beaten by the score
of 6 to5.

disgrace In defeat as the contest was alb
solutely one of merit. Both teams worked
hard, but the visitors were the better men

score of too.
Palmyra Riverton had an exciting con-
test with Burlington on Saturday The
former won the game, getting all its runs
in one inning. 1t had already scored one
run and the bases were filled with two men
out. when long fly was sent out to left

could recover the ball the three men had
scored. Burlington got two runs in the
sixth, but that was all.
The long talked of game between the
Grub team. of Beverly. and the River
side team was played. 1t was at first an
nounced that this contest would not come
off. as the Grubb team was reported to
have failed to deposit the 800 agreed
upon as a side wager. There seemed to
have been some misunderstanding on this
point, however, and the money was put
up. The game was played at Palmyra,
and all ideas that the Grubbs were afraid
to meet their opponents were soon swept
aside, as there did not appear to be any
reason for fear at any stage of the game
Notwithstanding they played with vigor
that should have brought about different
results, the Riverside club did not have
look in at any time, and the score was 8 to
In favor of the Beverly team.
The mere mention of game of base
ball between Pemberton and New Egypt
is sufficient to create any amount of in
terest and this was the case on Saturday
when those two teams met at Pemberton.
Long before the time for the game to be-
gin there was a good audience present and
from the moment the first ball was pitched
until the last man was declared out, the
hackers of the two teams were kept in q
state of excitement Inability to hit,
sharp fielding, double plays of geat bril-.
liancy, prevented the scoring of run un-
til the seventh inning when PembeIton
got in two runs to the great delight OF
its hackers. Nothing further was done
and the score ended to DIN favor of Penn.

over decisions an umpire was sent up from

met with general favor.
The colored base ball club, the Cubar
X Giants, came to Mount Holly and thu
home team was struck with stage frigh
from the moment the dusky players entered
town. Manager Lamb had engaged thu

such good work on Saturday, but it wa

Mcguire, who has been very reliable II
his efforts here, made one error in the be
