FLORENCE

Struck out by Sweeney, 10; by Rhubart,
one, catching Parcel in the fourth inning.
Wonder if Rhubart thinks he is still
''just as good as Sweeney ?" He got his
bumps" on Saturday.
"Old man" Cheeseman is still pretty
good In the field, but he cannot hit any
better than he ever could.
Whitley Schoenut was not at home In
the game that Haddonfeld won from
Medford, but he was on the ground at
Burlington on Saturday, when Burling-
ton did not win.
Morey was put up to head the batting
list for Florence and he distinguished
himself by striking out four times out of
five at bat, getting to first the other time
by base on balls.
Peacock and Lindsay led In the hitting.
Peacock was at bat six times and got four
hits. Lindsay was at bat five times and
got four hits. The two men made one
half of the hits secured.
Down at Rancocas Park, on Saturday,
members of the Order of Red Men,
crossed bats with the Continentals, of
Mount Holly. The score was II to l in
favor of the Continentals.
Frost played better on Saturday than
any game he has yet been in. The third
baseman, new man, was we'll pleased
with Frost, and predicted that he would
be picked up by league team some day.
Other Saturday games: Riverton, II,
Philadelphia A. c., 1. North Philadel-
phia Browns, 4; Riverside, 2. New
Egypt, Q; Pemberton, 0. Hainesport, q;
Moorestown, 8. Palmyra, 5; Delair, 2.
I'll - ~or,o ,.,ac Goh,aoLo, NJ
knew his business and all of Rhubart's
bluffs when balls were called on him did
not affect the umpire in the least. He took
the measure of the pitcher in the first
inning.
Charley Peacock. after the game with
Mount Holly at Florence, was subjected
marks because his team was defeated. 1t
was different last Saturday night.
One man in the grand stand cried out
to the Florence crowd after the fourth in
ming: "I'm glad am not going to back
Florence any more" And three pretty
girls just back of him said: Were sorry
we have to-"
Next Saturday Medford at Medford
There will be different proposition than
that of Florence, but even at that there
ought not to be any fears as to the re-
suit. Mount Holly has got as strong a
team as has been on the field for long
time.
In the Mount Holly grand stand were
four men who, after Mount Holly had be-
gun to show what it could do, said: 1--WE
came here to cheer for the winning team,
which we thought would be Florence.
But as it appears to be Mount Holly we
will have to change"
Golden, the new shortstop, is all right,
He plays In earnest. One good point
about him is that he does not pretend to
know 1t all, but does as he is told. His
sacrifice hits, which were made under
orders, were productive of good results.
Sixteen hits off of Mr. Rhubart, the man
that Florence thought so good that it did
not seem necessary to carry an extra
pitcher along. But even if there had been
another twirler it would have been just
the same Mount Holly had its batting
eye with it.
Harley kicked long and hard when he
was called out on strikes in the first in
ming, but he hadn't word to say when he
famed at three balls in the fifth. For a
crack hitter he certainly had reason to feel
blue, as he did not connect with the ball
safely at any time.
Lindsay was in his old form on Satur-
day. He devoted his entire attention to
his own position and let the other players
take care of theirs. Even with the few
errors that have been charged against
Lindsay his record has not been bad. He
has played 16 games, in which he had
90 hits, got to first on balls four times,
and had ten errors, the majority of the
latter being made after Goodbrod got to
playing in such shape that Lindsay tried
to cover the entire field between second
and third.
After the game was over at Burlington
on Saturday, the team at that place was
like the boy that was kicked by mule
'he was not as good-looking as he was, but
he knew heap "Medford certainly put II
all over the ''onlys." Morgan, who, after
the ten innings game with Mount Holly
thought he could hold any club down,
was Knocked all over the field, with to-
tai of 10 hits recorded against him, while
Burlington was allowed to get five. Cos.
tigan, as usual, was the run-getter, and
be scored the single made by Burlington.
Medford got IA, rolling up one in the
second inning, seven In the third, one In
the sixth, three in the eighth and two in
the ninth.
