been doing. On Saturday the New Egypt

Medford will go to Florence, on Satur-
day, taking its team and friends on a
special train which will leave Medford at
o'clock. Florence is getting ready for
the event and has engaged Wescott, of
Haddonfeld, to do the twirling. Well,
they ought to have a great regard for
Wescott's ability, for he was in the box,
on Saturday, when Haddonfield walloped

Better team work will be a great adj
vantage to Mount Holly. On Saturday,

handed and had full view of first base,

when second was occupied Parker would

Parker, OF Tuckerton, and he seemed to
be just to the liking of the Burlington
batters. He gave several bases on balls
and In almost every instance runs were
scored from the gifts. Gabel, the pitcher
who did such good work against Medford
both In the box and as batter, was al
lowed to sit on the bench, while Parker
was kept In position, and in addition to
sending men down on balls, allowed ten
hits. Parker simply was of no account.
With good pitcher in the box the result
might have been different As it was the

Notwithstanding the umpire sent to
Burlington was one selected by the Phil
adelphia Inquirer and was supposed to be
thoroughly posted in the rules he
gave evidence that he was not. In the
eighth inning a Burlington batsman
started to hit left-handed. The pitcher
sent In ball which was struck foul Par
ker took his position and the batsman
turned to bat right handed and Dobbins
called the attention of the umpire to the
move and asked that the bastsman be de
clared out. The umpire refused to allow
it on the ground that the batsmen has told
him he was going to change. Section 10
of Rule 81 says the batsman is out eff he
steps from one batsman's box to the other
after the pitcher has taken his position" So
this expert umpire took it upon himself to
declare man safe, regardless of rules,
because the man himself had told him he
was going to do it. On that ground if the
fellow had cut one of the bases about ten
feet and had notified the umpire of his in
tention, that official would have declared
