ty Y. M. G. A., to be held on the fair
grounds next Saturday, the Continental
Field Club, of Mount Holly, will have no
game that day. but on May 30 they will
play with Pemberton at the county seat. q
Morgan was not good enough for the
company of Saturday, and it reports are
correct he was not entirely up-to-date in
the previous game. 1t is the general
opinion that if there had not been a dis
pute in that contest during which he had
time to recover his wind, that game would
haye been lost.
Steinider, Westville's pitcher. was GER
tainly good one. He did very effective
work. He did not show any fatigue
until the last man was put out and then
fell to the ground in faint. 1t is said he
had not had anything to eat since morn
ing. If he could do such work without
nourishment he must be a crackeriack
when in good shape.
Boys like to see a game of base ball
and there is no reason why they should
not have all the enjoyment that can be
given them. They should, however, be
made to keep in one place and should also
be compelled to keep order. To get In
front of the grand stand and throw balls
and grass at each other and indulge in
other rough play is not edifying to those
who have gone to see the game.
The Continental Field Club, of Mount
Holly, pulled out victory at Burlington
on Saturday, defeating the Field Club of
that city by the score of 10 to T. The
Continentals took on a batting streak in |
the second and eighth innings, making |
nine runs. The Burlington players found
Cain for five runs in the sixth inning, his |
only displays of ineffectiveness, which
permitted Burlington to tie the score at
that point of the game.
Mcclure, who finished the game as
pitcher on Saturday, is well known as a
twirler of ability. Yet he was allowed to sit
on the bench during one entire game, and |
was put in another when 1t was too late.

Holly team are putting up the cash and
have the right to arrange matters to suit
but If the desire is to get the
public patronage some concession must
be made 1t is not to be expected that
the home team win win every game, but
there is no need of allowing defeat when
the means to stop it are within reach. In
