The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1908-09-22

hit to third and that baseman fumbled the
ball. Haines did not run very fast and
the fielder recovered the ball in time
to retire the runner. Thorne hit one to
second, which should have been easily
handled. Worrell took his time, however,
and the ball went through his fingers.
Thorne stole second. Kuhn hit fly to
second which Worrell easily caught.
Thorne had started for third and Worrell
stood like one in dream. The possibili-
ties of making double play unassisted
were too much for him, but he finally
awakened and completed the play before
Thorne could get back. No runs.
Fifth inning-Alloway hit to Deacon
who missed it and Alloway got to first.
He reached second on hit on which
Bush reached first on very close decision.
Alloway, however, got too far off OF
second and Thorne, by a quick throw to
Deacon, caught the runner. On wild
throw Bush reached third base, but he
was left there by Beck striking out and
Worrell going out on fly to Bennett. No
run. Semon went out on fly to right.
emmett drew base on balls, went to
second on passed ball and stole third,
PARCEL went out on fly and Deacon was
retired at first. No run.
Sixth inning got to first on
balls and reached second, Deacon dropped
the ball thrown by Semon. Bourquin hit
to centre and Garrison started for home.
The ball was fielded from centre, but
Thorne stopped 1t and by the play caught
Bourquin who had started for second.
This was a fine play as 1t would have
been impossible to catch the runner at
home and Thorne's judgment was
frst-class. w. Schofeld drew pass and
stole second, but was caught trying to get
to third Wright struck out. One run.
The score now stood four to three and
things did not look as rosy as at the out
set, but Mount Holly went in for business.
Gillian hit nice one to right field and
went to second on an error of the catcher.
Gerts was out at first, Gillian reached
third Haines hit to second, who threw
to first and put him out, but Gillian
scored. Thorne sent nice one to left
field. Kuhn struck out and the inning
ended with one more run to Mount Holly's
credit.
Seventh inning Schofield was caught
on fly to centre. Alloways went out on
a fly to Deacon at second. Bush went to
first on balls, but was caught trying to
steal second. No run. Semon out on a
fly to third, Bennett struck out. PARCEL
got good hit to centre and stole second
but Deacon sent one right into the hands
of the first baseman and the inning was
over No run.
Eighth inning-Worrell out on fly to
Deacon. Garrison struck out. Bourquin
down on balls. W. Schoield sent one
down toward first base which Gillian ran
to capture and Bennett covered first base.
Gillian got the ball, but in his hurry to
get it to first threw wild. Bourquin land
ed on second. Wright hit to Deacon who
caught him at first. No run. Mount
Holly went out In short order. Gillian
on fly to second, Gerts and Haines both
out at first. No run.
Ninth inning-This was Vincentown's
last chance and it did not amount to much
Il. Schofeld was the first man up. He
evidently recognized the fact that 1t was a
forlorn hope for he struck wildly at the
balls sent to him and was soon struck out
Alloways sent one into right field foul
territory. Gillian made long run and
caught the ball when it was within foot
of the ground. Bush sent fly into the
hands of Bennett and the cranberry crop
was all harvested.
Burlington wants game with Mount
Holly.
Florence will be at the Mount Holly
grounds next Saturday.
1t does not matter how poorly Thorne
starts off in pitching, he always gets
stronger as the game proceeds.
The Vincentown players were not
pleased with their managers selection of
an umpire. They say Linton is the best
man that has given decisions in their con
tests.
The "Vincentown Correspondent" will
not have much to gloat oyer this week
He will read the account of the game, az
usual, in a paper belonging to some one
else as he travels over his free delivery
route.
vincentown wants to play off the til
game and Saturday, October 10 has beer
fixed as the date. If the game should
occur, the same teams which played herr
on Saturday will appear. There will b.
another umpire, however, as both side
are agreed that the last one was of no &C
count whatever
