Vincentown's battery was the entire
team. The two brothers play together
nicely.

The Continental, of Mount Holly, went
to Lumberton on Saturday, and beat the

corps with them.
Medford was again defeated by Burling-
in the box for Burlington and only two
hits were scored off his delivery, H.
Schoenut getting both of them and scoring
the only run that Medford scored.
Mount Holly and Vincentown have
played three games. The second is still
memory, it being the seyenteen-inning
game which resulted in tie. The first
was won by Mount Holly, by the score of
one to nothing, and the third was settled
by the same score A curious coincidence
is that Jimmy Reynolds made the run
that won each game.
One of Vincentown's supporters re-
marked after the game: ''The only way
to successfully conduct game of this
kind is for each side to contribute and get
an umpire who is absolutely disinterested. :"
This is correct. The first umpire in the
position was so totally unfit for the place
ton that it is wonder that he was al
lowed to be considered. Haines did
pretty well, but even he showed that he
was not up to the rules.
A rule that is not looked after sufficient
ly by umpires is No. So, referring to coach
ers. 1t says: "The coacher shall be re-
stricted to coaching the base runner only,
and shall not address remarks except to
the base runner, and then only in words
of assistance and direction in running
bases. He shall not, by words or signs,
incite or try to incite the spectators to
demonstrations, and shall not use language
which will in any manner refer to or re-
feet upon player on the opposite side
Not more than two coachers, who must
be players in the uniform of the team at
bat, shall be allowed to occupy the space
between the players and the coacher
lines, one near first the other near third. "
On Saturday there were frequently three
Vincentown men near first base, one near
third and the catcher would stand between
home and first, calling out Instructions
The man on the third base line would adj
dress his remarks to the Mount Holly
pitcher, with the idea of getting the lat
ter ratified. In one inning the first base
coacher ran out and deliberately interfer-
ed with the play, but the umpire de-
clared the runner out.
