Having secured his point OF getting
sufficient guarantee to come on OF hii
Ecranberry bog with his star aggregation
of ball players, manager "Woolse" Hainei
came to Mount Holly with blood in his
eve and bland smile on his face. con
fident that he would do the peanut
eaters" to finish. The smile was not
one that would not come off, however,
and when the last man was put out the
expression on the face of manager Haines
was one that drew forth expressions OF
pity from all sources. He aged very fast
during the game. He had some new
PLAYERS. One was named Beck, fellow
down on the books to do great stunts with
the bat He got to first base twice, once
on an error, the other time on bad throw
and through comedy of errors scored
run. Garrison was another imported
player. He, too. was to hit hard, and was
also billed as a pitcher to go in when
Schofeld played out. If the latter part
of the programme had been carried out he
would have gone In at the outset, Tor
Schofield was out of tune from the start.
Garrison struck out twice, got to base
on balls and went sleep on first base.
Another star player tried to get his name
ON the score book as Skidder, but as he
was recognized as Bourquin, semi-pro-
fessional, he had to go on record under
that name. He got his base on balls three
times and was caught mapping between
first and second. AS fact the team that
held Mount Holly down at Vincentown
was far superior to that which appeared
on Saturday. The Schonsld brothers were
the battery for Vincentown, and the
catcher was in his usual good humor,
keeping the crowd jolly by his remarks
and acts.
When the game was arranged manager
Hajnes insisted there should be an umpire
from outside. Mr.. Wagner tried to get
one but was unable to do 80, and when
the teams arrived "Woolse" In very In
nocent manner said he had just the man.
He introduced a fellow named Moody,
This chap had come up with the hired
Camden players, hence "Woolse" knew
he must be all right. Wagner offered no
objections and Moody took his place. II
he ever knew how TO umpire he certainly
tried to forget it on Saturday. He was
the worst ever seen here, but as the visi-
tors had brought him they did not dare to
kick. He tried his best to aid them, CIV
ing them the benefit of all close decisions,
but it was no use, Mount Holly had the
best team and outplayed the others in all
points. On one occasion, only, was there
any attempt to enter dispute. That was
when a long fly was hit to left field. The
umpire ran to the foul line and declared
the ball fair and Mount Holly scored two
runs. From the grand stand 1t looked
foul, but the umpire insisted he was right.
Jimmy Berry, who has had much expert
ence in such matters, and who was In
position to judge, says the ball was fair
by four feet. However, Vincentown did
not enter vigorous kick. The greatest
objection came from a spectator in the
grand stand, whose heart was almost
broken because Vincentown went down.
In Judging balls and strikes the decisions
of Moody were ridiculous. He made the
mistake of umpiring from back OF the
pitcher and 1t is impossible to give good
Judgment on balls and strikes from that
position. The score:
