Mount Holly won another game on Sat
urday, and shut out the All Scholastic
team from Philadelphia, but the shut-ou
was gift of the umpire. At the outse
it looked as if Mount Holly would have {
walkover, but this idea was soon dispelled
With the bases all filled and Perinchief a
the bat, the home team was not able tC
score, and there was nothing doing unit
the sixth. With two men out Sims made
two base hit which brought in run. Ii
the seventh Gillian hunted and beat thu
ball to first. Loveland followed with |
bunt which advanced Gillian to second
but Amos was thrown out at first. Deacon
hit to centre and Gillian went to third
Reynolds hit to right field and the bal
was caught, but Gillian got home before
it could be returned, Deacon going tt
third The pitcher hit to left and brought
Deacon home. w. Haines hit to left, anC
the fielder, after long run, failed to hold
the ball, the pitcher going home. Gene
Haines went out at first and that ended
the inning.
In the eighth Sims hit a short one tC
second base which was not caught. The
catcher advanced Sims on sacrifice,
being himself caught at first. Loveland
hit to left and brought Sims home, and
was brought in himself by hit to right
by Deacon. Reynolds went out on a fly.
The only show the visitors had to score
was in the ninth. The first man was
thrown out at first, and the second was hit
by the pitcher, making second base on a
dropped ball thrown to Deacon. The
third man up was sent to first on balls.
He at once started to steal second and the
catcher threw to third and caught the
runner mapping. Reynolds, in his anxiety
to catch the man at second, threw the ball
into right field and the runner went to
third. The next man up made hit to
left field, which was nicely tielded home
by Loveland and the umpire declared the
runner out, but this decision was mani
testify unfair. The next man was out at
first and Mount Holly won the game.
Score 6 to 0.
The Continental Field Club will play
the Pemberton club at the latter place
next Saturday.
Mount Holly has strong battery. The
catcher is very valuable, and his head
work steadies the pitcher considerably.
The pitcher for Mount Holly is improv-
ing. He covered first base once during
the game on Saturday.
The Continental Field Club, of Mount
Holly, went to Hainesport on Saturday,
which was a hoodo date, and were beaten
by the score of 10 to l.
Mount Holly's team is all right. The
attendance is mean. The players on oul
team are home boys with one or two ex.
ceptions. They play good ball and have
not gone around asking the people to &c
