game at Bristol, on Sunday.
Florence at Mount Holly next Saturday.
So far as now known the home team will
be the same as last Saturday.
1t took Just 81 minutes for Riverton to
defeat Spring Garden, of Riverside, on
Saturday, by the score of two to one.
Clermont, of Philadelphia. lost to the
Brown A. c., of Riverside, on Saturday,
when the score was Brown, 5; Clermont. 2.
Lindsay had two errors on Saturday.
With good man at short, Lindsay should
get over his anxiety about that position
and play his own little better.
Finding their team was not going to
make good the Vincentown fans contented
themselves with the remark that Garrison
had an off day. which was certainly the
case.
Golden, a new shortstop, was given a
trial on Saturday. He had three chances
and handled them all right. Quite an i'm
provement over what has been doing in
that territory.
After getting a strong team the Mount
Holly management came near making
farce out of the affair by putting In an
umpire who knew about as much on the
subject as cat does about preaching.
Jack Dobbins, who at one time was on
first base for Mount Holly, was on the
grounds on Saturday, and when q change
of umpires was desired, Dobbins agreed
to act, doing SO In an acceptable manner
On Thursday afternoon, the Quaker
Giants will play at Medford, and the
game will be one of the greatest ever seen
on those grounds. The Giants are colored
men and they do some great stunts during
game.
Steelrnan, who caught for Vincentown,
played with Mount Holly in 1898. He
caught for Bruce in two games against
Bordentown. and was on first base in
game against Burlington. But he is a
dead goner."
There haYe been five games with Vim
centown, one of which was won by the
latter on It's own grounds. Mount Holly
has taken the other four, shutting the
other team out twice. What is the use of
playing any more with Vincentown2
Sweeney struck out nine men Garrison
caught four. Sweeney gave one pass,
Garrison sent four down. Mount Holly
got eleven hits off Garrison, Vincen-
town got one single off Sweeney. Only
two of Vincentown's players got to second
base, one on sacrifice. the other on an
error.
Ten innings were required to settle the
contest between Medford and Haddonfeld,
on Saturday, and Haddonfield won by the
score of eight to seven. Both pitchers
we're touched up pretty lively. Gunner
man had nine hits recorded against him,
and Wescott was hit IS times, yet even
with that score, Medford could not win.
Burlington was pitted against Florence,
on Saturday, and the latter carried the
game and some loose change home with
them. Burlington made three runs, Co.'S
tigan getting all of them, but Florence
went one better and made four. Adams,
of Philadelphia, umpired, and he seemed
to have his wits about him. or per-
haps there were no plays which needed
the exercise of brain power.
The Continental club went to New
Egypt. on Saturday, and was again de-
feated by the club of that place. The
Continentals were not able to get on to
Thorn as easily as In the former game,
and got only one hit, which was made by
Linton. New Egypt touched Cain for
nine hits. Neither side scored until the
ninth inning, when New Egypt got two
runs, and the Continentals failed to get
any cHe over the home plate.
