G0ulc OdfhuduSH was mlsscu VI OdbuI
day.
Mount Holly has won II out of 10 gam, 8
played. Pretty good for home talent
team of boys.
Jimmy Berry umpired and he had
several close decisions, only one of which
received any serious protest, and 1t was
all right at that
There has not been a ball game In the
big leagues that has been more interesting
than those played in Mount Holly the
past two Saturdays.
Martin did good work as pitcher. He
deserved better support than he got in the
FIRST part of the game. The failure to do
this for him was because of bad judgment.
Jack Gillian was In evidence. He made
the hit which brought In the winning run.
On the previous Saturday his timely hit,
followed by one from Cavanaugh's bat
won that game.
Next Saturday Camden field club will
be here. and on the following Saturday
New Egypt will be on the field. Both of
these games will be worth seeing. Cam
den has won 10 out of 90 games.

Beverly called halt on Taubel's strides
toward cutting down Florence's percent
age in the Delaware river league cham
pionship. The two teams played on Sat.
urday and after contesting for II innings,
and being compelled to stop on account of
darkness, neither side had the advantage,
the score being to 8.
There was another good game at the
Mount Holly grounds yesterday afternoon.
Hainesport and Mount Holly came
together for the second time in the day.
Both scored run 10 the first inning and
then the fight was fast and furious until
the tenth inning when Hainesport, amid
loud cries Of exultation on the part of its
followers, got run which put them one
ahead. 1t was up to Mount Holly then.
Hullings got to first and went to second
on Gains hit. The latter was caug BIT
mapping at first. Stokes Burtis got hit
on which Hullings scored, and Stokes
managed to get to third. Larry" Gillian
planted nice little bunt where it could
not be gathered In and Stokes Burtis went
over the plate with the winning run.
Why not give the calico wrappers
another chance. They would probably
come loaded for bear, but we would have
Cain and Cavanaugh on our side and that
would mean a whole lot By all means
get the city boys up here again. 1t was a
shame to treat them so badly when they
thought they would have such a snap
with the countrymen.
The pitcher of Strawbridge & Clothier
was rather formidable looking fellow.
His uniform was on the undress order. re-
sembling that worn by men in a rowing
contest. He had large arms and his
muscles stood out like that of a prize
fighter, but 1t all stopped with his ap-
pearance. He was touched up for eight
good hits.
The Mount Holly A. c. went to Borden
town yesterday, and won very interest
ing game which took II innings to settle,
Mount Holly winning by the score of II
to 3. The next game was played In the
afternoon, Mount Holly losing by the
score of 10 to 5. Pitman and Fenimore
were the battery for Mount Holly ..Pitman
was in good form and did some very
good pitching In the morning game.
Florence won In the contest against
Roebling on Saturday but it was close
shave. Florence evidently had not
recovered from It's attack of stage fright
administered by Beverly the previous
week. Up until the sixth inning it was
anybody's game and then Florence scored
run. the only one put down on the books
during the day. Sweeney held Roebling
down to one hit. Florence got six hits
but they could not make them count.
There was fellow named Outen with
the visitors and he certainly was full of
enthusiasm. 1t was hard work to keep
him on the players bench. The advice
he gave to willie" the pitcher, was in
evidence very much until Mount Holly
began to show what 1t could do and then
Outen did not have any trouble in keep
Ing quiet. His supply of enthusiasm
oozed out very quickly.
Mount Holly is certainly entitled to

The visitors had strengthened their ranks
by getting the pick of good men from all
parts of the city. Had Cain been in the |
box the home team might have made the
