Two games occupied the attention of
the Mount Holly team last week. The
first was played at New Egypt on Tues
day. carnival day. Thorn, who formerly
pitched for Mount Holly, was in the box
for New Egypt. 1t was reported that
Mcclure was to do the twirling, and ru-
mors began to circulate that Thorn was
afraid to go up against his old associates.
That did not sit well with the young man,
and he was allowed to go in. Mcclure
was booked for the game, but 1t was
thought he would be put in an unpleasant
position. If he lost there would be those
who would be so uncharitable as to say he
did not do as well as he could, owing to
having been so recently connected with
the Mount Holly team, and he naturally
did not feel like working against those
who had treated him so well, SO it was
determined to allow him to play the
morning game.
Thorn, of course, after all that he has
said about the mean way in which Mount
Holly treated him, was DESTROYS of
pitching his right arm off to get square,
but he was not of much account. He had
his head with him, but 1t was not a game
of "big head" and the consequence was
that Mr. Thorn got his bumps in good
shape The score was not large. 1t was
three for Mount Holly and one for New
Egypt, the latter being gained in the
second inning on an error This made
the New Egygt people feel as If every
thing was going their way, but In the fifth
Mount Holly did business and secured
three runs, which settled the matter
New Egypt did not leave any stone IN
turned to gain the victory. On the team
were Costigan, Bennett, Bunting, Nc
Quade, Wenzell and Tunney. all veterans.
Costigan was hurt in the third inning and
had to retire. Mount Holly touched Mr..
Thorn for Ii hits, New Egypt managed
to get seven off Sweeney.
Thorn found out that it was different
pitching against Mount Holly than
pitching for that team. The heavy hitters
of our club gave him something to think
about Peacock, Wilson and Perkins got
two hits each. Blackburn got three
O'Neill and Sweeney one each.
The New Egypt score was as follows:

Ed. Davis has also quit Medford. He was
not in the game with Burlington on Sat
urday. He was too severely criticised for
a very excusable failure to catch fly ball
in the Mount Holly game.
The Red Hots, of Florence, played
against Roebling on Saturday The game
belonged to the latter until the last in
ming, when the Red Hots got busy and
won by the score of seven to six.
Morgan will pitch for Mount Holly on
Saturday and in one of the games on La
Dor day. He will find better team be-
hind him then than when he worked for
Mount Holly in the early part of the sea-
son.
The Trenton Gazette club played at
New Egypt on Saturday. Thorn pitched
for the latter and each club got three hits.
The score was one to nothing in favor of
New Egypt. Thorn seems to do pretty
well with second rate clubs.
Schoenut did not play with Medford on
Saturday. Has he been released so soon
1t was stated by some of the Medford
supporters, after the game with Mount
Holly, this will be Schoenut's last sea
son with Medford," but 1t was not sup
posed this idea was to be put into imme-
diate execution.
Riverside and Florence met on Satur-
day and as usual the fur few. Armstrong
pitched splendid game for Riverside and
held the team down to two hits. Flynn,
in right field for Florence, had four put
outs and one assist, in addition to getting
one of his teams two hits, and scoring
the only run for his side. The score was:
Riverside, 2; Florence, l.
Vincentown was booked for Mount
Holly on Saturday, but the game was can
celed and the Continentals, of this place,
went over to see what they could do
They were shut out, but the Vincentown
team, with Garrison in the box, was I'M
able to secure more than four runs. The
Continentals got three hits, and all that
Vincentown could do with Cain was to
get four hits off his delivery.

Can Lift the Lids.

Assistant Attorney General Gaskill has
rendered a formal decision that the lid
may legally be lifted in New Jersey. In
the abstract, this statement would be
pleasing to the liquor and base ball people
of Atlantic City and other New Jersey
cities, but the explanation that the States
law officer merely gives legal authority
for the lifting of the lids of ballot-boxes
in the special constitutional amendment
election of September IA, gives the state
ment different aspect The opinion was
asked when 1t was discovered that the
constitutional amendment ballots are too
bulky to be pushed through the regular
Sits in the ballot-boxes.
Immediately this matter was brought to
the attention of the Secretary of State,
that official called upon the Law Depart
ment for an opinion. Assistant Attorney
General Gaskill holds that If the ballots
will not go through the regular Sits then
an impracticable situation arises which
may be overcome by making the boxes
practicable by lifting the entire lid for the
depositing of ballots. He also holds that
the absence of a box which has been
adopted by custom for voting purposes
cannot defeat the constitutional right of
legal voters to cast their ballots, and he
is incliued to think that any kind of box,
in the absence of the one usually used,
would be legal receiving receptacle.

"The best play of the season, such was
the united opinion of the New York critics
regarding the merits of Joseph M. Weber's
novelty drama 1.-THE Climax" by Edward
Locke, which comes to the Burlington
Auditorium, on Saturday evening, Sep
TENDER H. Since its initial performance
at Weber's theatre, New York, the piece
has been attracting large and enthusiastic
crowds to this famous playhouse, and all
indications point to record breaking run
on Broadway. 1.-THE Climax" is very
simple little story of Bohemian life in the
great metropolis, but the intensity of its
very humanity is so convincing that it
appeals to the heart of the most blase. A
company of exceptional ability will be
seen in the different roles.

rescued.

man, umpired the game at New Egypt to
the satisfaction of all.

Mount Holly had another game on Sat-
urday, but 1t was simply practice game.
The visitors were the Frankfort team, of
Philadelphia, and they had little show
against the Mount Holly combination.
The score was Is to 8 In favor of Mount
Holly. Barnes, new pitcher, was in the
box for the locals. He appears to have
the qualifications for good pitcher, but
he was not up against anything very
strong on Saturday, hence there was not
much chance to get fair idea of his abil-
ity. Perkins pitched the two last in
nings and struck out six men. The score;

BIG LAND DEAL In
HICKMAN COUNTY
]. J. GRAY, JR., AND v. &. SHWAB
PURCHASE THE VAST GRA-
HAM PROPERTIES.

CENTREVILLE, Tenn, Nov. B.
The largest deal in this county in
years is the sale of the H. H. and T.
H. Graham properties at Pinewood to
]. ]. Gray, Jr., of Rockdale, and V. E.
Shwab, of Nashville the purchase
price being about $4,000. The prop
critics consist of $3.50 acres of land,
the cotton mill, the store and resi-
dence, the latter being the finest
structure in the county. The farm,
roo acres Of tillable land is consid-
cred the best in the county. There
are fine deposits of iron ore on the
land. which Mr. Gray will probably
mine and ship to his Rockdale fur
mace. The properties disposed of
have been in possession of the Graham
family since ante-bellum days, and
they constitute principally what is
called "Pinewood" The Grahams
who belong to the first families OF the
county, own vast property in Louisi-
ana, and it is probable that they will
move there to exercise personal SUI
pervsion over it.

HAIR BALL IS
LATEST FIND
E. w. THOMAS BRINGS QUEER OBJ
JECT TO HERALD OFFiCE-TA-
KEN FROM cows STOMACH.

4 hair ball, one of those rare
exotics that thrive only within the
mucous lined bourdoir of cows
stomach, was shown at The Herald
Office today by E. w. Thomas, who
resides on the Gerald Douglas farm
on Route 7.
1t is only in the classic literature
of Mark Twain that we read of this
phenomena, and but few of the Oldest
inhabitants have ever rested their OPP
tics upon anything so strange.
A hair ball may be described as a
compact bunch of cows hair surround
ed by shell of double texture, vary
ing in size from hen egg to croquet
ball The one shown by Mr.. Thomas
is admittedly the largest ever seen
here and is several inches in circum-
ference.
"A young cocoanut' was the first
guess made when Mr.. Thomas PUNK
ed the find down IN The Herald office
desk with a resounding thud and chal-
lenged the entire force to name it.
"A croquet BALI was next ventured,
and he shook his head for the second
time. Other guesses We're hazarded
before the final give it up" was said.
1t is presumed that the hair ball is
formed by nature in its protection OF
the bovine's digestion. The hair is
licked by the COW from her back and
sides and is swallowed. Natural pro-
cesses then form thick coat around
the accumulation which takes on the
shape and appearance of q ball, When
cut open the bali Is found to cotain
hair, so tightly packed, that i cannot /
be easily pulled out. The particular
hair ball shown by Mr.. Thomas was
obtained from a Poll heifer, killed for
beef. The animal was in perfect
health. III

CENTURY CLUB
WINS THE SUIT

A suit instituted by the Centu.
ry Club against J. r. Trail, for the
possession of some barber chairs, mir
rors, etc has been decided in favor of
the Club, by Esqs. Fariss, Hayes and
Guest, who sat on the case. 1t was
alleged that Mr.. Trail had contract
to occupy the Century Club bar
Der shop for three years, and that he
gave mortgage on his outfit. There
was a prior lien on the chairs for $25,
and it was claimed that the lien
should have preference. The court
held that the chairs were the property
of the Club, after the prior lien was
satisfied.
