The Mount Holly base ball club went to
Delanco. on Saturday. Deacon, Mount
Hollys shortstop, made run in the first
inning, and that was the whole score so
far as our team was concerned. Briggs
pitched for Delanco, and but four hits
were secured from him, they being made
by Reynolds, Deacon, Thorn and Eugene
Haines. Delanco made five runs.
The Continental Field Club, of Mount
Holly, went to Lumberton, on Saturday,
and Jared very well, beating the team at
the latter place by the score of IL to 5.
Cain pitched fine game and kept his OPP
ponents down to five hits. The Continent
ais made eight runs in the fourth inning.
Without game scheduled for Mount
Holly, on Saturday, several people went
to Medford with the expectation of seeing
something worth looking at, but they
were disappointed. 1t was not Medford's
fault, however. Vincentown was the OPP
1l.,A fNw ha6
anxiously awaiting the date on which
according to their ideas, they would do
up" the glassblowers But it was soon
shown that games are not won on talk.
Vincentowns catcher went up in the air
almost at the start and he was transferred
to the field where he made one or two
bungling attempts to catch ball. Allen
Smith, of Smithville, took his place and
did good work, making two fine catches
and hitting the ball for two bases.
whitley" Schoenut pitched for Medford,
and the other side could not place their
hits safely, Notwithstanding they got six
of them. Medford got ten runs in the
first three innings, while Vincentown did
not score, the game ending 10 o.
GUSTS umpired the game at Medford on
Saturday in his usual good style, to the
satisfaction of the players and spectators.
The superiority of base ball team that
plays together all the time. compared with
a team on which frequent changes are
made, was plainly shown at Medford on
Saturday.
There will be two games at Mount
Holly, on Saturday. Stratford A. A. will
be here. This team was here two Satur-
days ago and played very nice game.
Morning game begins at 10 o'clock; after
noon at 3.
Florence will play two games at Med
ford, on Saturday morning at 1890;
afternoon, 2,9O. This will not be a repetia
ton of last Saturdays exhibition. 1t will
be battle to the finish, and whichever
club is victorious will have to work. In
the evening there will be fireworks.
The Continental Field Club will play
two games at Merchantville on Saturday.
Go to the grounds of the Mount Holly
Field Club, on Saturday, and see two
good contests, at the same time helping
the boys. 1t has been a long time since
Mount Holly has had base ball club
composed almost entirely of home play
ers, and it ought to be encouraged. 1t
deserves to be supported.
Stratford, which will play here on the
Fourth, was well pleased with its last visit
here with the exception of being defeated.
The catcher told us the people treated the
club right, the Mount Holly players were
fair, and there was but single kick on
the umpire. Stratford took notice OF the
weak points in its team and the club will
be greatly strengthened this week.
