z z 4 U U U 4-l
After awhile, possibly, the Mount Holly
team will play the Continentals.
Burlington willplay here next Saturday.
Predictions on the result will be safer
after the game.
Heevner did not show up on Saturday,
and Blackburn, of the Masonville team,
was put on second base.
Schoenut played second base and did
all right. While he is not in the pitcher
class any more, he is still ball player.
Perkins was on hand with the stick, but
he could not get his hits In where they
would do the most good He got three of
the five hits made.
Killmer, Medford's fine third baseman
and daring base runner, was not in the
game on Saturday. 1t is said he is threat
ened with appendicitis.
A Philadelphia paper rubbed it in" on
us Sunday. In its heading of the game it
said Florence, n; Mount Holly, l." The
truth was bad enough.
There is no reason why Mount Holly
should be defeated so often. Its players
are getting higher salaries than those of
any other team in the county.
"Herby" House is pitching good ball.
Up against the strong Camden A. c., on
Saturday, he held that team down to three
hits and his nine won the game.
Jack Gillian is playing good ball as
shortstop for Merchantville. While he
was charged with an error, he made two
of the three runs which won the game for
Merchantville.
Sweeney. who has been pitching in the
New England League, will be in the box
for Mount Holly the balance of the sea
son. He will pitch his first game against
Burlington. on Saturday.
Superintendent Gilbert announces that
he will run cars between Burlington and
Mount Holly every half hour Saturday
afternoon to accommodate those who wish
to attend the game of base ball here.
Cheeseman, the veteran player, was
pressed into service at Florence at the last
moment on Saturday, and the way he
captured everything that came his way
showed that the old man liz all right yet.
Hamilton made a beautiful hit, on
Saturday. 1t was a line drive to left field
and struck the top of the fence, bounding
back into the grounds, thereby robbing
Medford of the honor of making the long
est hit on that field. Hamilton had glory
enough, however, as he made both of the
runs which secured his team the victory.
Burlington and Riverside had a merry
time, on Saturday. Thorn was In the box
for Burlington and he was touched up for
six hits. Neither side scored until the
sixth inning, when each made run. In |
the eighth Riverside scored again, and
Burlington, in the ninth, settled the game
by getting two runs. Score, three to two. !

The "Gorman" who pitched for Med
ford on Saturday, put up such good
game that 1t seemed necessary to give him
some reputation, so the story was put out
that his correct name is Zimmerman, and
that he is one of the substitutes of the
Philadelphia National League team. Con-
versation with the secretary of that club,
Yesterday, brought forth the reply that
the Philadelphia team has not got man
of that name on its list In any capacity, so
German will have to rest on his own
laurels.
The manager of the Mount Holly team
received a very nice letter from pitcher
Mcclure, in which the latter stated he felt
it lust that he should write with reference
to his work here. He said: 81 don't
seem to be working right, my arm feels
as good as it ever did, but there seems to
be something wrong. hate to leave you
people because l never got used better in
my life than l did In Mount Holly. You
people are gentlemen in every way. But
l am not working as good as / can work
and l don't feel justified in taking your
money" Mcclure offered to play in the
field If his services were desired.
Just as has been said many times, the
managers of the Mount Holly team are
paying the bills and have a right to do as
they please, but they expect the public to
patronize the games, hence should be will
ing to listen to suggestions. Experience
is the best teacher, however, and Satur-
DAVIS game showed what has been claimed
for some time, that Mcclure was not good
enough for the team. Even at that. with
Florence knocking him all around he was
kept in the box until 1t was too late to do
any good by removing him. Last year lit
was proposed that Fred Perkins be engag-
ed, but the offer was spurned because
perkins could not hit" In two games
he has played with Mount Holly this sea-
son he has had six hits. Pretty good for
man who Cannot hit"
Medford had Palmyra as its opponent
on Saturday. In order to make victory
certain, a new pitcher was secured.

The new mans name was published as
German and in addition to getting twelve
