The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1909-06-01
Base Ball.

Mount Holly went to Vincentown, on
Saturday, accompanied by large number
of enthusiastic supporters who expected
to carry home the news of a victory, but
they were disappointed. Mount Holly
had Mcclure and Foster in the box, while
Vincentown had Garrison and Smith.
Not satisfied with having one Garrison In
the game Vincentown had made assurance
doubly sure by having a brother of the
pitcher to act of umpire. What "brother"
pitcher could not do, 'brother" umpire
finished. 1t Is customary occurrence
in case of defeat to claim that the umpire
robbed us, and in many instances the
claim is without foundation. To be an
umpire Is difficult task, and do so well as
he NAV that official is liable to make mis-
takes. but actions of brother" Garrison,
on Saturday. were actually rank, and his
decisions were SO palpably out of shape as
to give good basis for the claim that he
deliberately ruled in favor of Vincentown.
This is not the opinion alone of a Mount
Holly spectator, but one of the most
ardent home supporters of the Vincen-
town team, after the game said: well, |
thought we got raw deal at Mount Holly,
but / have no complaint now. The UNI
piripg In this game was the rankest ever
seen on the ground.
Vinceutown made run In the second
inning. In the same inning Bennett had
a strike called on him that called forth the
derisions of the spectators so manifestlY
rank was 1t. In the fifth Lindsey got
home, making Mount Holly's run.
Everything went along evenly then, so
far as scoring was concerned, until the
ninth inning. In the sixth inning 1t
looked as If Mount Holly might be able to
get a run, so "brother" umpire declared
a man out at third, when he was assuredly
safe.
In the ninth two of Vincentown's men
were caught on fly balls to shortstop.
Worrell hit one to right field, which Allo-
way could easily have caught, but he
waited for the ball to bounce. Alloway
hit for two bases and Schofield hit to
right and brought In the winning run,
the score standing two to one.
