Next Saturdays game will be with the

right handed pitcher it is no trouble

Florence could take lessons from the
Sparta team. At least one decision of the
umpire was greatly against them, but they
never murmured The game was the
quickest ever played here, but if the op-
posing team had been Florence ithere
would have been enough wrangling to
have kept the grounds open until darkness
set in.
Richard Lamb, manager of the Mount
Holly base ball club, has issued chal-
lence to play a game with the Florence
club, on neutral grounds, for 800 or 5000
side. 1t is hoped that this challenge
will be accepted and the contest played on
the diamond of the Medford Field Club,
in order to settle the differences between
these two teams. who have never yet had
satisfactory game with each other.
Florence does not seem to care to come
back to Mount Holly. Manager Lamb
took up the suggestion of The News and
offered to put up big forfeit if another
game could be arranged. This is not a
bet, but guarantee that the game shall
be played to finish and the decisions of
the umpire respected. Florence is afraid
to come to Mount Holly and play game
on any conditions that will not allow them
TO kick and quit
In an interesting game, the Mount
Holly Field Club were defeated by Vim
centown, on the latter's ground on Satur-
day, by the score of to- Several times
during the progress of the game the visi t
ors had a chance to win, but each time
fell down. 1t was anybody's game until
the close of the ninth, and it looked in that
inning as though Mount Holly would pull
the game out into extra innings, but Vim
centown was on deck with their usual
luck and our boys took their first defeat OF
the season. Cheeseman was knocked out
of the box in the seventh inning and Oar
wood took his place, holding Mount Holly
safe from then to the end of the game.
For the Field Club, Somers, Deacon and
Reynolds deserve special mention, both in
the field at bat.
