Mount Holly Won

| The third game of base ball between
Mount Holly A. A. and Mount Holly
Browns was played on the High street
grounds Saturday and the contest ended
in favor of Mount Holly. There were
two umpires. Copper" who officiated
on balls and strikes did not give the
best exhibition of accuracy that might
have been shown, but his misjudgments
were about evenly divided, although the
Browns thought they were getting the
worst of the decisions and at one time
came near breaking up the game. 1t
was hard to lose the game but the un-
successful team did not act like good
losers. The trouble came in the fifth
inning when the umpire declared ball
and the other side thoughtit should have
been strike. Later in the same inning
the man who was umpiring on bases
declared Mount Holly man out at
third base when he was plainly safe and
was SO admitted by the opposing third
baseman, but Mount Holly accepted the
decision without kick.
The teams were about the same as in
the last game, with the exception Of
George Lippincott being at his post at
shortstop and Charles H. Folwell, Jr., in
right field for Mount Holly. The Browns
had but one change, man by the name
OF Arena playing with them. He had
played here before and had the reputa-
ton of being hard hitter. He did not
live up to his reputation Saturday.
Chance was in fine form and pitched
no hit game, but came near letting in
run by very foolish and careless throw
to first base, the situation being saved
only by the alertness of Ritter. Cain
was not up to the style he had in the
last game and he did not receive the
support that he then had. The game in
detail is as follows:
First inning-Arenz at bat and was
sent to first on balls. He tried to steal
second but was easily caught. Mack
struck out and Orcutt went out on an
infield fly.
Beaudry out on foul fly. Lippincott
reached first on ball that was dropped
by the baseman. Foulks sent one to
circuit who failed to handle it and Lip
pincott went to third, Foulks to second.
McCue blocked ball nicely and Lip
pincott scored, McCue reached first.
Ritter was given base on balls and
this filled the bases. Cline hit to short
and Foulks was forced at home. Fol-
well out at first. One run.
Second inning = Alloway sent one
down towards short that looked safe but
Lippincott made nice pickup and
caught the runner at first. Cain struck
out. Morgan out on fly.
Chance struck out. Burtis out on
fly. Beaudry hit to first and reached
third on an overthrow. Lippincott was
sent down on balls and went on to
second, but the inning ended by Foulks
being caught out on a fly.

Hullings out at first. WorrelI out on a
fly.
McCue out at first. Ritter struck out.

base, but he was forced at second by
Chance. Burtis was given base on

struck out. Hullings got to first but
forced Morgan at second. Cain was
left on third by Worrell striking out.
Foulks out at first. McCue made
two base hit. Ritter base on balls
Cline made short hit and the bases
were full. Folwell was the next batter
and the situation looked bad for the
browns, and there was kick over de
clslon OF the umpire on ball that the
opposing team thought should have
been strike. 1t looked as if the game
was going to end right there, but after
short discussion play was resumed. Fol-
well was given his base on balls, sending
McCue home. Chance knocked long
fly to centre and Ritter started home.
He made the base safely, and the catch
er, who had received the folded ball,
threw to third, and the umpire declared
Cline out but the play was very close.
Two runs.
Sixth fnning-Arenz, Mack and Or
cult all struck out.
Burtis got a hi and stole second.
Beaudry went out on a fly that was cap
tured by Arena after he made long
run and changed his ideas more than
once. 1t was very pretty play. Lip
pincott out on fly and Foulks out at
first.
Seventh inning-Alloway out on fly.
Cain went to first on balls and thought
he could steal second, but the ball was
at that base waiting for him and he was
an easy out. Morgan went to first ON
balls, but was left there by Gibbs out on
a fly.
McCue got hit but was thrown out at
second. the only man caught out of four
trying to steal that base. Ritter and
Cline out on flies.
