happens TO De nlgner.
Another point that is not taken into
consideration Is that the law requires
property to be assessed at full value. Very
often house is valued by an assessor at a
figure that 1t would readily bring at sale,
but the owner does not want 1t taxed that
way because he thinks 1t is too near real
value. Then he uses the argument that
the house two or three doors below him is
not assessed anywhere near what his is.
AS stated before this Is no reason for re-
duction In one case but 1t is ground for
raising the valuation In the other instance.
The Board of Taxation will be glad to
show any taxpayer the duplicate in which
he is interested and to receive suggestions
on points that appear to need adjustment
Base Ball.
Mount Holly was the centre Of attrac-
ton for base ball enthusiasts, on Saturday,
when the Burlington club came over to
win the game from the home team. The
hackers of the Burlington club were out
In force, and were loaded with all sorts of
arguments with which to aid their favor
ties. A crowd of rooters with mega
phones occupied the first base line and
they made noise enough to win fifty
games, but it was no use, Mount Holly
was the victor
There were several elements In the con-
test that made the Burlington crowd de-
sirous of winning. First was the wish
that is always foremost-to beat Mount
Holly. Morgan, who pitched for the lat
ter team early In the season, was In the
box for Burlington and he nearly pitched
his head off to get revenge.
The game opened with Bobby Costigan
at the bat. Bobby has big base ball
head on him, and his assurance is suffi-
cient to get him position on the largest
team in the big leagues Bobby hit one
to Goodbrod, who at once started in on
his usual custom of making errors and
threw badly to first. Costigan continuing
to second Ash was sent down on balls
He started for second and on an over
throw by Frost, Costigan scored. Craft
struck out, Barton was out at first, and
McQuaid was caught on fly taken by
Goodbrod after hard effort. This was
one run for Burlington and the mega
phones did great work.
For Mount Holly r. Parcel went to bat
and was thrown out at first. Frost hit a
sharp one down to second. Craft, who
the Burlington boys declare always eats
that kind" did not get even a bite of 1t,
and 1t went past him like shot. Peacock,
encouraged by the success of Frost. sent
another of the same kind to the same
territory, and once more Craft failed to
"eat 1t, and Frost landed on third going
home on passed ball. Perkins hit fly
to left which was captured, but Peacock
made third on it. He was left there, how
ever, by Heevner sending a fly ball d.
rectlY into the hands of the third baseman.
Second inning-GroYer struck out. Hay
wood out On fly to second. Sisom sent
beauty to centre field, which M. Parcel
dropped, but the latter redeemed himself
by catching, after long run, the fly sent
out by Morgan.
Lindsay led off In the hitting and sent
one down that escaped both the shortstop
and second baseman. Goodbrod sacrificed,
and Lindsay went to second, reaching
home on M. Parcels out at first. Sweeney
was sent down on balls. He at once
started for second and the ball was sent to
Craft to catch him. Lindsay started for
home and Craft returned the ball quickly,
but did not catch the runner.
Third inning-C ostigan sent short one
down to the pitcher, who had no difficulty
in fielding it to first. Ash and Craft
struck out.
Frost went down ON balls, and went on
to second on ball dropped by Costigan
Peacock got good hit, which advanced
Frost to third. Peacock started for second
and Costigan threw to catch him. He
succeeded. Frost went for home on the
throw, and Craft sent the ball back to the
catcher Costigan tried to work an old
trick of his and planted himself directly
on the base line. Frost accepted the priv
ilege accorded by the rules and ran into
the catcher, who was turned around as If
cyclone had struck him, dropped the
ball and Frost was declared safe. Perkins
was out at first. Heevner was out on q
long fly.
Fourth inning Barton to base on balls.
McQuaid struck out. Grover popped up
fly ball which was taken by Lindsay
after a long run. Hayfeld sent a
high foul which went back of the
catcher and was taken right off the
fence by Frost.
Lindsay hit one down In Crafts region
and the latter failed to gather it. Good
brod sacrificed and Lindsay reached second.
He PLAYED too far from the base and
Costigan threw to second to catch him.
Instead of going right on to third Lindsay
tried to get back to SECOND but he was
too late. NJ. Parcel out on fly.
| Fifth inning.-Sisom was put out at
first. Morgan went down on balls. Swee-
pev threw to Peacock in an effort to catch
the runner mapping, but be threw wild
and Morgan went to second. Costigan
hit to left and what should have been an
easy catch by r. PARCEL resulted in ar
error for the latter as he dropped the ball.
During this fiasco Morgan went to third
and Costigan to second. Things looked
a little dubious, but the agony was ended
by Ash striking out and Craft out on fly
to Heevner.

struck out. Frost was given his base or
balls and stole second, but Peacock went
out at first.
