There was not much interest in the
game at Palmyra, Saturday. The Emer-
aid club was completely showed under by
the score of Is to 8.
Camden B. B. G. went to Delanco, Sat.
urday, to cross bats with the club of that
place. Delanco had five runs at the end

Adds A. A. was at Burlington. Satur-
day, but the latter was not able to cope
successfully with the team from Philadel-
phia, which won, having runs to spare. The
score was: Adds. 10; Burlington, 8.
Florence has good second team and 1t
went to Beverly. Saturday. and won the
game by the score of 2 to 1. Foulk, of
the Florence team, did some good slug
ging, which had much to do with securing
the victory.
Roebling had as its opponent on Satur.
day, Ottawa, of Camden, and had no diff
Guilty In securing victory by the score of
IL to 2. This puts Morrisville and Roebl-
ing on tie for first place in the Delaware
County League-each having won five
games and lost two.
Florence does not seem to be keeping
up the stride 1t set last year. With all
the advantages Of being able to secure
star players-an advantage that was not
neglected-it has not had the winning
team that secured the pennant last year.
On Saturday Florence again went to de-
feat at the hands of the Morrisyille team
by the close score of 2 to /.
Mount Holly A. @. was shut out at
Medford, Saturday. Neither side scored
until the seventh inning, when Medford
got three runs, and followed this with two
more In the eighth inning, and the score
ended that Way to 0. Pitman allowed
Medford to make six hits, while Bowker
held Mount Holly down to three hits.
There was a well-played game at
Moorestown, Saturday, when North Penn
came up from Philadelphia. The latter
did not win the game but it gave Moores-
town pretty bad scare. In the first in
ming Moorestown scored 1--WE runs and In
the second Penn came along with two.
That vas not much, for Moorestown got
two in the fifth, and In the next the visi-
tors we're able to get but one more. In
the eighth inning Moorestown got three
more runs and under ordinary circum-
stances that was enough to make every
body feel easy. but when Penn came up
for its share of the eighth 1t banged out
five RUS and that made the score 10 to 9
in favor of Moorestown. The game ended
that way much to the relief and satisfac.

pionship In the Burlington County League
In 1898, still has the base ball fever, and
has organized club that will make Bur-
lington Its headquarters. Howard is not
rusty by any means, as he has been play
ing every season. He has son who he
says Is better than the father This young
man will be on the team and Fred Perkins
will also be with 1t. The manager of the
club will be Fred Poth. whose Beverly
aggregation last year gave some Of the
others much trouble. Taking the record
of the Ottawa team, of Camden, into con-
sIderation, 1t would appear to be good
idea to drop that club from the Delaware
River League and put the Burlington club
In its place. OF course the latter would be
handicapped in the race, but even at that IL
would make a good showing before the
season closed and there Is no doubt about
the substitution being fair paying
proposition.
