Rhubart pitched for Florence on Satur

hits. He struck out eight men. Schoenu

discouraged on Saturday. He had right
to be. Disappointed in not getting the
extra men promised him was enough, but
to lose the game through indifferent
playing was disheartening. Add to this
the fact that the games are not patronized
in the manner they should be to keep the
expense account square is sufficient reason
for feeling that his efforts to give good
are not appreciated.
Charley Humphreys was killed on
Thursday in collision between an auto
mobile in which he was riding and rail
road train. Humphreys was base ball
player well known to those who early took
interest In games hereabouts. He played
with Bristol at one time and was of the
first to put into practice the system of
sliding to first base. He was daring
base runner and worried opposing catchers.
In game between Bristol and Burling-
ton one day Humphreys would call to
Lansing, who was catching tor Burling-
ton, II am going to second, kid" and then
be would start, and Lansing was never
able to catch him.
An interesting game may be looked for
ON the High street grounds next Saturday
afternoon, when the Continental Field
Club, of Mount Holly, will play with the
team from Pemberton. NOrcross, formerly
with the Columbus club, will pitch for
the !Continentals, which position he will
throughout the season, as Cain
has signed with the Lumberton Field
Club. The Continentals have won six
games and lost five this year. They will
play with the Florence Field Club at the
latter place on August 10. AS the Cont
nentals have played all their games away
from home, next Saturdays contest will
give the fans an opportunity to see Mount
Holly's second team play ball
The sharpest struggle of Saturday was
at Florence, where the Medford team
came out victorious. That was victory
for sure To beat the good team that
is was enough to make Medford
feel happy, but to do it on the home
grounds. where the rooters do not show
any mercy to visiting clubs, was a double
cause for citation. Medford went home
with several extra feathers in their caps,
while Florence closed the shutters and
went to bed early. Whitley" Schoenut
pitched for Medford, and it does not
make any difference ''how old Ann or
Whitley is" he played a star game For
eleven innings he sent the ball over the
plate with such deceptive curves that
even Charley Peacock, the crack hitter of
Florence, could not see it, and when
Charley does not get hit, the rest of the
team have to take back seats. Not sin
gle hit was made off Schoenut, and he
has the credit of pitching "no-hit. no.
run" game, for Florence did not score.
In the eleventh inning with two men out,
Whitley" made single, Burroughs fol-
lowed with another single Both runners
then got busy and played off the bases to
a good distance, and when Galbraith went
to bat and made long double, the others
ran like streak and made home. Flor
ence then took their last inning, but ii
was all over, and gloom settled down over
Foundrytown.
