game and there were some incidents thai
caused the spectators to grow weary be-
| fore the end came.
Garrison was In the box for Vincentown
and If that young man came here with the
idea that he was one of the crack pitchers
who could hold Mount Holly down to a
proper level, he certainly went away with
different opinion, for he certainly got
bumps" that kept him thinking all night.
Steelman caught for Vincentown. He
acted In the same capacity for Mount
Holly several years ago, but he is not as
good as he was then. His arm was evil
IDENTIFY out of gear, as our team stole bases
at ease, and In the sixth inning Steel
man had to give way to another man and
went to second base.
On the other hand Sweeney was In great
shape and had the Vincentown .hitters at
his mercy, while Frost again showed his
efficiency behind the bat.
The game opened with Vincentown at
the bat and Darwood sent one down in
the neighborhood of the pitcher. One of
Sweeney's good points is the manner In
which he fields his position and he got the
ball and sent 1t to first In time to retire
the runner. Myres hunted and this ball
was also captured by Sweeney, who got
another assist by throwing the runner out
at first Baker struck out.
R. Parcel caught the first ball pitched
and sent it out into left field. Frost
sacrificed. but the hit was not in the right
place to advance Parcel who got out at
second, Frost reaching first safely. Pea
cock sent one to the shortstop, who fum-
bled the ball, and Peacock reached first,
Frost going to second. Peacock played
off of first some distance and Steelman
threw to catch him, but failed. Frost
tried to make third but was caught Pea
cock stole second, but was left there by
Perkins going out on fly to left field.
Second inning-Steelman out on a fly.
Bobbie Peacock and Garrison struck out.

fumbled and the runner was safe. Lind
say sacrificed, out at first, Heevner on to
second Goodbrod and Golden struck out.

but Frost dropped the last one and Wor-
rel started for first. Frost recovered the
ball, however, In time to catch the runner.
Alloway was thrown out at first. Bush
got down safely, but he stayed right there
as Darwood went out on fly.
Sweeney caught one squarelY and sent
it to centre field. Parcel out on fly to
shortstop. Frost got good hit to centre
and Sweeney went to second on 1t. Then
Peacock picked out spot in the cornheld
where he thought would be good place
to land one, and he did so for three bases,
sending Frost and Sweeney home. Per-
kins had an idea that centre field was q
weak spot so he sent one there and Pea
cock scored. Perkins stole second, and
went to third on Heevner's out at first
Lindsay ended the inning by sending fly
to centre which was captured.
Fourth inning-Myres popped up fly
which Peacock caught. Baker hit to
Lindsay who fumbled the ball. Steelman
sent up a high foul which went towards
the back fence. Frost ran hard and
caught the ball in his glove. 1t bounced
up and what looked liked an error was
saved by Frost quickly throwing out his
right hand and capturing the ball. Bobbie
Peacock hit to Golden who threw to
second and caught Baker.
Goodbrod was the first batter up and he
was hit by the pitcher Garrison tried to
catch him mapping at first but made wild
throw and Goodbrod went to second.
Golden was given his base on balls.
Sweeney struck out Then Parcel went
to bat and sent beauty to left field, on
which Goodbrod went home, Golden to
third and Parcel to second. With the
same idea that had been in the minds of
other players that centre field was weak
spot, Frost lifted one to that territory,
and Bush promptly dropped it. Golden
scored. Peacock got hit to shortstop,
Parcel tried to get home and the ball was
felded to the plate to catch him. There
was considerable seesawing. and finally
Parcel was caught at the home plate. In
the meantime Frost had gone IS close to
third as he dared and Charley Peacock
had almost touched second. Steelman
threw to third to catch Frost but the ball
rolled into the field and before 1t was. re-
covered Frost and Peacock had both
reached home. Perkins then hit one that
struck foul, but rolled into fair ground.
Fred started for first base and Worrell had
run for the ball which he took about a
foot inside the line. He made stab at
Perkins but did not touch him. Then he
claimed that the runner had gone out of
the line. The umpire decided Perkins
safe, and that started rumpus. After
long discussion, captain Peacock ordered
Perkins to allow the out. although the
umpire was correct. All hands had be-
come tired of the umpire by this time and
he was requested to step aside. Jack
Dobbins, an old Burlington County
Lacquer. finished the game.
