bases full.
Somebody saw Frost on Saturday even
ing and asked him what the score was at
Medford. He answered, mount Holly
got three; Medford got one and | gave

Mr.. Zimmerman was certainly touched

each, Lindsay and Blackburn two each,
Golden three. Off of Sweeney only five
were SC )red, Kilmer, Schoenut, Braddock,
Hopkins and E. Davis each getting one.
GUSTS did not umpire and Medford did
not win. A Medford sport who, on the

rake and scrape, with the knowledge that
Custis would umpire, could not be in
duced to put up nickel on Saturdays
game.
On Sunday Florence went to Bristol.
In the fourth inning each club got run.
Then the game went on until the eleventh
inDing, when Florence got three runs and
Bristol could score but one, and the game
ended with Florence in the lead by the
score of four to three.
| Riverside went to Egg Harbor on Sun
day and had an exciting contest. In the
fifth inning the Egg Harbor boys made
four runs. They thought they had the
scare In the ninth by making three runs
This was not enough to win, however.
There wss one rooter in the grand stanc
on Saturday who certainly was entitled tC
sympathy. He was boy about II years
| OF age, anu WHICH, uOulOlu kOl AOo hAol VI
he ieered those from Mount Holly anC
sent out all kinds of remarks, but before
the game had gone far he looked badly
and was quieter than an automobile tina
had run out of gasoline. And when the
game was over the little fellow sorrow
fully wendell his way home.
Florence has always had the credit o
having the noisiest lot of rooters in tn
. | h.,f oa Of oil cd
only difference is that Florence enthusiast
are men, while those who do the loudes
screeching in Medford are of the opposit
sex. They do not care whether the peopl
near them are annoyed, as in one case, o
Saturday, one female told Mount Holl
: lady who had merely looked at the fol
mer: eff you don't like it, go home"
