at first.
Ninth inning. -Costigan was thrown
out at first and Ash struck out. Whether
Sweeney thought 1t was good time to
let up In his pitching or whether he could
not help the result, Craft got two-base
hit. Carton got to first on Goodbrod's
fourth error. McQuaid went to first on an
error and Craft scored. Barton got to
third. Grover was hit by the pitcher.
Then came an incident that stopped pro-
ceedings for awhile and 1t looked as if the
game would end In row. Hayf1eld was
at the bat and had two strikes. Sweeney
had the ball and Barton started for home.
Sweeney sent the ball In quickly and Hay
field struck at 1t. Catcher Frost got the
ball and tagged the runner but the umpire
declared the runner safe. This decision
was disputed by Mount Holly and the
crowd surrounded players and umpire.
Before the matter was settled the umpire
had given more excuses than he could find
rules for. Order was finally restored and
the game proceeded. The score was now
tie Hayfeld struck out and the inning
was over.
Then amid bowls and tootings of mega
aphones the tenth inning began. Bur-
lingtons contingent was certain that the
game belonged to their side and the jubil
atoms were of the most brilliant charac-
ter. Sisom was the first batter and he hit
to second, getting to third on misplays
Morgan struck out. Costigan hunted and
Sweeney threw home and caught Sisom
Ash struck out. This ended the game so
far as Burlington was concerned.
Mount Holly, thoroughly angered at
the action of the umpire, decided to win
the game In spite of that official, who
smiled and chewed gum like billy goat.
Sweeney was the first man up and he went
out on fly. R. Parcel struck out, and
Morgan decided to take chances on send
ing Frost down on balls, which he did.
Things looked decidedly blue for every
body but Burlington and the umpire, who
still continued to smile. Peacock hit one
that was fielded to first, but not in time to
have the runner declared out, and Frost
went on to third. Then the old reliable
Perkins went to bat. Apparently Morgan
wanted to send him down on balls, but
"Si' would not have it that way. The
second ball sent in was out side the edge
of the plate but Perkins long arms came
into play. He reached over, caught the
ball on the end of the bat and sent 1t
sailing down to right field. Only one run
was needed to win the game and Frost
scored that, but in order that there might
not be any doubt about the ending, Pea
cock went the round and touched home
before the ball was returned from the field.
Then the megaphones were tucked under
the arms of the owners, who quietly stole
away, many of them leaving their good
money right here in the despised county
seat. The umpire got out of sight as
quickly as possible, but he need not have
been afraid as no one would have harmed
him. The generalimpression was that he
was not worth bothering over. Following
is the score:
