Ninth inning-This was Medford's last
chance and the prospect for that team was
not encouraging as 1t took three runs to
tie and four to win. Thorne, who always
has grown stronger as the game advanced,
had the confidence of the crowd, who ex-
pected him to do good work, but for
some reason he did not live up to his for
mer record and it looked somewhat serious
for time. Brady, the first man up, hit a
foul that was caught by Gerts after a
sharp run. Thorne could not locate the
plate and sent Burroughs down on balls.
Galbraith hit fly toward first, which was
captured by Davis. Once more Thorne
could not get the ball over the plate and
Flagg went to first on balls, the play
advancing Burroughs to second. Two
bases were now filled with two men cat
Davis hit to shortstop, who threw to
second and Flagg was forced out. This
ended the game and the score stood, Mount
Holly, 4; Medford, 1.
