Florence.
Heevner, the new second baseman, is
all right.
Logan has got on the diamond again
He played second base for frankfort on
Saturday.
Thorn's record: First with Mount Hol-
ly, then with Burlington, then with New
Egypt. Where next 2
Vincentown must have rubbed 1t in a
year ago when Medford refused to accept
the decision of the umpire and forfeited
the game.
There was thirteen-inning game at
Bordentown on Saturday, when the Bow
man club, of Trenton, won by the score
of five to four.
Glow is it that Mount Holly is always
right9" asks Medford enthusiast. Well,
now, did anybody ever hear of Medford
admitting it could possibly be wrongH
Custis did not umpire and Medford did
not win. Gusts was on the ground-that
is not joke-and he appeared to be very
much affected by the way things were
going.
Thorn thought Mount Holly did not
treat him right, and he evidently thinks
the same thing about the Mount Holly
Continentals. The boys ought to have
been ashamed of themselves to treat him
that way.
Burlington went to Bristol on Sunday,
and another game was played where hits
did not count and errors did. Burlington
only made seven hits and its star players
divided six errors between them, Ash get
ting two, while Bristol had ten hits and
seven errors. and Burlington won-eleven
to five.
According to county paper, before the
game on Saturday, "Medford sports are
anxious to bet even money that Medford
will win at Mount Holly" They were
relieved of their anxiety as well as their
cash. One ''sport" left $50 here, another
SIS, another So, another IS, another $40,
and the returns are not all in yet.
Thorn, who had an idea he was high
priced pitcher, must have felt rather cheap
Saturday evening, after the game at New
Egypt. He came down on the train with
the Mount Holly boys, but he did not
parade the main street with his dress suit
case In hand. He took the trolley at the
Washington street bridge.
Fred Perkins can still play ball, even
though he is hurt. Coming to Mount
Holly. on Saturday, he stepped from the
| trolley to let a passenger off, when he
was struck on the arm by passing
wagon. He went into the game with 9
large lump on his right arm, but he was
ready with the goods when called upon.

In the Vincentown game Whitley
Schoenut got two runs and was credited
with four stolen bases, and one of his ad
mirers remarked ''pretty good for How
Old is Ann" In Saturdays game will
Mount Holly, "WhiteY'' had one hit, on
sacrifice hit one stolen base, was touched
up for eleven hits In six innings, three o
them for two bases and three for thre
bases. and was knocked out Of the box
"Pretty good for How Old is Ann"
The Continentals, of Mount Holly, wen
to New Egypt on Saturday, and the team
at the latter place had the idea that the
would send the boys home with tears II
their eyes. But they came back laughing
The cause for their merriment was tn
fact that they were defeated by only on
} run, the score being four to three. Ant
this in the face of the fact that Thorn
who left Mount Holly in huff, was il
! the box for New Egypt. And the boy
touched him up for seven hits.
The sporting editor of the Marion
Record had two items in last week tina
did not exactly hitch. The first was tina
sMedford will play at Mount Holly O
Saturday and it is reported the Philadel
phia inquirer will send an umpire. Let
be who it may Medford will not leave tn
field if there is any possible chance Q
continuing the game after kick is made
The next item was that the sports wer
offering to bet even money, and that "a
that Medford asks is square deal. Ur
less they rub it in, the local team wi
nlav TO a finish" See the difference
, Not to leave the field under any condition
then not to leave unless it is rubbed In.
The only semblance to kick" on Sat

crossed second base and was compelled
