The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1910-06-28

close decision. Moser out at first. Hoff
man tried the bunt system and he lifted
one that fell In the infield and was picked
up on quick run by Ballingall, who got
the runner at first. Braddock out at first.
Sixth inning = Peacock hunted q fly
right into the pitchers hands Wolfrom
sent fly that was caught at first. Logan
struck struck out. Hopkins went to FIRST
on pass. Then Schoenut went to bat
and did what everybody was looking for
him to do. He hunted. AS soon as the
ball was pitched Perkins started towards
the home plate and by good running
caught the ball on the fly. Lindsey had
covered first base and Hopkins had ad-
vanced so far towards second that he was
unable to return before a double play had
been completed. Davis was thrown out
at first by Logan.
Seventh inning-Mount Holly did very
little in this inning. Ballingall and Silcox
struck out. Hafner struck out. Miller to
first on balls Kitsner hunted to Silcox
who threw him out at first Moser struck
out
Eighth inning-Barr hit a sharp one
that looked as if it was going over the
shortstop's head Braddock threw up one
hand and the ball struck his glove bound
ing upwards. AS it came down Braddock
caught it and the Medford portion of the
grand stand nearly went wild Lindsey
went out on fly to the pitcher. Perkins
went to bat and with the vision of the
former strikeout before him, the Medford
pitchers face had look of confidence.
Perkins caught one squarely, however,
and made two bases on 1t. Then Peacock
sent one out on which he made two bases.
Perkins started for home and the ball was
fielded to that plate. II looked as If it
was going to be an easy put-out, but
Perkins slid and his long legs saved the
day, as he touched the bag before the
catcher could put the ball on him. VOL
from went out at first. Hoffman hit
beauty between second and shortstop.
Barr started for 1t and picked 1t up while
on run and flelded 1t to first In time to
put the runner out. Then 1t was Mount
Holly's turn to feel proud of its shortstop.
Braddock had his eye on the ball and sent
one In the neighborhood of first base.
Perkins made another famous run and
caught the ball. Hopkins sent good hit
over second. He stole second and the ball
was tielded beautifully to catch him,
Umpire Gusts declared him out but on
Hopkins resenting the decision, Gusts
Immediately changed it and said the
runner was safe. This decision was so
rank that even the Medford contingent
roundly Kissed Custis' change of mind.
Ninth inning-Logan went out on fly
Ballingall hit to shortstop who did not
make as brilliant play as In the other
inning. He made an error and Ballingal
reached first Silcox out at first and Cook
was out on fly to second. That ended
Mount Holly's share of the game. Med
ford went to work with the determination
to do something. Davis went out on a
fly to the pitcher. Hafner lifted beauty
into centre field. 1t looked good for three
bases. From the time 1t started it had
more curves than either of the pitchers
had used. Charley Peacock twisted him
self in several shapes before he finally got
where he wanted to and even then he was
compelled to Jump about two feet, but he
captured the ball. Miller went out at first
and the Medford people went home very
quietly.
