| Mount Holly's baseball fans journeyed t.
! Vincentown with the hope that the Gran
berry vines would be stripped. The hop'
was realized and the Vincentown team
knew when the game was over that some
thing had been doing. The Mount Holly
PLAYERS had come to the conclusion that Il
would be more of a victory to beat the
|, Vincentown nine on its own grounds thar
to win here, and they decided to do thu
trick in a manner as to leaYe no doubt
about the result.
Bert Haines umpired and did pretty
, well, but some of his decisions were of
color. Mount Holly began the game with
Charley Peacock at the bat He promptly
lifted fly ball to the field which was
captured. Frost was sent down to first
on balls. He tried to steal second and
was declared out on doubtful decision.
Kuhn also got his base on balls, but he
was left by Goodrod going out on fly.
W. Schofeld was In the pitchers box for
| Vincentewn.
Thorn pitched for Mount Holly and he
was In great shape. He struck Garrison
out and the next two men went out on fly
balls.
Then Mount Holly tried 1t again. r.
Parcel got to first on an error. He tried
to steal second and was caught, the de-
cision being questionable. The next two
men struck out.
For Vincentown Darwood was caught
at first base, the next two struck out.
Mount Holly began the third inning in
way that led the Vincentown rooters to
think they had snap. Mcclure and
Thorn went out on flies. ALI that was
necessary was to get the third man, but
that fellow was Charley Peacock and he
sent out clean hit and stole two bases
getting home on wild pitch. Frost was
given his base on balls for the second
time, but he was more fortunate In this
instance as he scored, even il it was on an
error by Keller, of Riverside, who was
covering second base for Vincentown,
and who failed to handle Kuhn's hit.
Goodbrod got q hit, but he and Kuhn
were left, r. Parcel being thrown out at
first Two runs for Mount Holly and a
case of blues for Vincentown.
The home team started in to do some
thing and did it. H. Schofeld struck out.
W. Schofield out on a fly. Wright was
hit by the pitcher, but was caught trying
to steal second.
Two runs are pretty good lead in
game of base ball these days, but Mount
Holly thought 1t would be good idea to
increase the number, and they went at it
with a vengeance. Instead of trying to
knock the ball out Of the lot Mount Holly
changed tactics to advantage. There
were six bunt hits, two men were hit
by the pitcher, and five errors, all of
which netted seven runs. Then came a
funny little episode. When the score
board was built on the Vincentown |
grounds the management evidently
thought that no team would ever get as
many az seven runs In one inning, so that
figure was not provided for. When the
boy went to post the result he did not
know Just what to do, but after ealculat- !
ing for short time he substituted three
for the two made in the previous inning
and put up six for the other record and
got the total of nine.
Vincentown was not Growing much by |
this time and the next inning was short.
One man got to first on balls, but the
others did not get that far. When Mount
Holly went to the bat In the fifth they I
found change had been made. Garrison
had been brought in to pitch, but the
only result was the preventing of Mount
Holly running the score up beyond the
capacity of the scoreboard. -Four hits
were secured off Garrison but no more
runs were made.
In the seventh it looked as If Vincen-
town might get a ''look-in." Overfelt,
the home teams catcher, was hit by the
and went to second on Ketler's
hit, the only one secured from Thorn.
Darwood and Alloways struck out, and
Keller was caught mapping at first.
That was about all there was of interest,
the other two innings being devoted to
ending the game as soon as possible,
Mount Holly playing to shut out the
other fellows, both Of which ideas were
successful. The score follows:
