The morning game yesterday was played
In Mt. Holly. 1t was very interesting and
exciting, replete with fast plays, but 1t ter
minated suddenly in the eighth inning
when Burlington left the field on account
of being dissatisfied with decision of the
umpire. When Mount Holly went to bat
In that inning the score stood to l. After

kins stole second. Peacock hit to second
and the ball was fielded to first. Peacock
made desperate effort to reach first base,
sliding feet foremost. The umpire called
the runner safe, and Lindsay and Perkins

lington's players, led by Frost, the quitter.
walked from the field. The decision was
close one, but could not be constructed
as glazing misjudgment. The umpire
said that Burlington's first basemsn re-
moved his foot from the bag when he saw
Peacock sliding and still had it off when
he caught the ball. After waiting five
minutes for Burlington to resume play,
the umpire declared the game forfeited to
Mount Holly.
Burlington had new pitcher named
Penrose, who put up very creditablc

Silcox's pitching and batting were the
features of the game. The score:

also stopped the fireworks. Burlington

the same class. Their names are Snyder,
Comley and johnson. Barr and Perkins
