was on the slab for the visitors. He had
his shoots, curves and twists with him and
the Mount Holly boys could not reach
him for more than two hits. Three costly
errors at critical points-that's the time
errors generally occur-aided the foundry
men In their act of slaughter.
On the other side Silcox was the pitcher
and he did all right. True he was touched
up for 2 hits, but had his support been
as good as that back of the Florence
pitcher, this account of the game might
be different. But such Is the fate of base
