made in the last inning. Medford had a
new pitcher named Cummings, and he
kept Haddonfield down to seven hitsS

stop for Medford, was laid off and man
named Sisom substituted. The latter made
two hits, two outs, two assists and one
error.
Spottown A. c.. Of Mount Holly, went
to Smithville. on Saturday, and was de-
feated by the team of that place by the
score of Z to 1. Both teams played good
ball. The Mount Holly boys outplayed
Smithville in the field but were weak at
the bat when hits were needed, Smithville
having IA, while Spottown had 10 hits to
their credit. The game was interesting,
but 1t was not so much 30 to the Mount
Holly boys as 1t was to the spectators, and
1t wasn't altogether pleasing to some of
them, as a man by the name of Maxim
was doing the umpiring, who didn't seem
to know very much about the game or
he didn't care to know at that time, the
result being some very unsatisfactory de-
cisions rendered. From the very start of
the game it was noticed that Maxim was
fayoring Smithville very much, but moth
Ing was said until the middle of the game
when the decisions were so rank that there
were some objections registered by the
Mount Holly boys, but Smithville seemed
to be satisfied and were not inclined to
change umpires, so 1t went on until the
eighth inning. when there was so much
ieering by the Smithville rooters that they
changed umpires, the new one being salts
factory. but Maxim was so lnsulted by
being taken out that he tried to get re-
venge by attacking the Mount Holly boys,
as he came In and seized Flenard by the
throat. Like a fash of lightning the Spot
town boys were on the job and Maxim
soon found he was up against hard
proposition as he was getting more than
what was due him. so he gave in and the
game proceeded. But this was not all the
trouble. At the end of the seventh inning
the guarantee was asked for by Mount
Holly but they were told they would get 1t
at the end of the game. The end came
and the Mount Hollys looked In vain for
their guarantee This same trick was
played on the Continentals by Smithville
about two weeks ago when they refused
to give the guarantee and the Continentals
left the field. Smithville seems to be
quite up to this sort of way of treat
ing teams which visit that place. At
the close of the game one of the Smith
vile rooters made the remark 'that it was
case of robbery all the way through"
