Mount Holly has good base ball team
OF home players. The games are more in
teresting than those of former years when
we had professional team in the
field. Acquaintance with all the PLAYERS
lends to the interest. The attendance is
not what 1t ought to be. Formerly the
team cost too much money to make the
venture paying affair. Then there was
clamor for a team composed of home
players. Now we have that and the sup
port Is not up to the standard.
