.Iohn Wnolman House

On Friday and Saturday afternoons
number of people visited the Johl
Woolman house, on Branch street
where they were received by Miss Grew
and several ladies who aided in enter
tanning those who called to see the OLE
place which has recently been restored
by the John Woolman Memorial AS
ISOLATION. This house has long beer
considered the property formerly owned
by John Woolman but failure to fine
any papers that would absolutely con
firm that idea caused cessation in the
efforts to purchase and put in proper
shape the old house.
Private individuals became very much
interested in this matter and theil
efforts were finally rewarded by the dis
covery of papers in John Woolman's
handwriting that removed all doubt as
to the identity of the house. There
were specifications by which the house
was built. These are contained in
Woolman's manuscript account book,
which is now owned by the Historical
Society of Pennsylv ania. There are
also, his folio journal, marriage certif-
cate and other papers. The measure
ments and description of the house tally
so exactly with the place on Branch
street that there is not any doubt about
the house being the original property of
John Woolman.
Having become satisfied about the
identity of the house the Woolman AS
ISOLATION began to restore it in accord
ance with the specifications that had
been found and to make it as near like
the original property as possible. In do
ing this the rafters have been exposed
and there are two large flreplaces on
the lower floor with one on the second
floor. For those below the original
cranes are in possession. Two secret
closets which had been closed have been
opened, the old brick oven has been dis
covered, and the original front door
with its enormous starp hinges, is in
place.
In III Mary WOolman married John
Comfort. Their marriage certificate was
beautifully written by John WooIman
and is now in possession of the Histori-
cal Society Of Pennsylvania. The
couple lived in the house on Branch
street, and the brides mother made her
home with them until her death. The
specifications indicate that the house
was built for the daughter.
Caroline Laid Crew, of Kenneth
Square, Pa, has been placed in charge
of the property. She will open tea
room and will entertain guests who will
visit the place.
Next Saturday there will be John
Woolman Pilgrimage to Mount Holly
conducted by the Friends Historical
Society of Pennsylvania. A special
train will leave Philadelphia at 1.25 in
the afternoon and those of the party
who want to get off at MasonvilIe may
do so and go by automobiles to Rance
cas- to the farm of Granville Woolman
Leeds, which is pointed out as the birth
place of John Woolman. The old meet
ing house at Rancocas will be visited.
Those who do not wish to go to the farm
will continue to Mount Holly and pro-
coed to the John Woolman house, where
a fine programme will be presented.

Next Saturday afternoon Mount Holly
will haye.as their opponents the Taubel
team of Riverside. This promises to be
one of the best games of the season, as
Riverside has fast ball team.
1t is always in order to boost and not
to knock, but it must not be presumed
for an instant that Just criticism will be
withheld where it seems in order. The
Mount Holly boys are playing good ball
and they are entitled to credit. Where
there lis a chance to strengthen weak
places manager Perinchief does so.
There has been some criticism about his
engaging outside talent when there is
good material at home, but he has look
ed the field over and knows what he is
about. There is not the slightest doubt,
however, that Clifford Cain PLAYED a
good game on Saturday and Clevenger
also showed up well.
Umpiring is as much part OF the
game as any other item and the patrons
want to see that position handled with
as much ability as any other. The ex-
hibition by Devlin. on Saturday, was
enough to disgust any one who has the
faintest idea of the game. His rulings
on balls and strikes were rank and his
decisions on several plays at bases wer(
enough to call forth boots of disapprova
from those who had paid to see d fair
good game. Devlin may have been goot
some time in his life, but he has no
given any evidence of it here. Some
umpires seem to think it is their duty tt
favor the home team, and that no mat
ter what they do they will be upheld by
the crowd, but Devlin discovered on Sat
urday that the spectators believed in fai
play. While his decisions on balls anC
strikes were about evenly divided, hi
base decisions were all against the visi
tors. 1t is bad enough to be beaten b
the players but to have it rubbed in b
an umpire is very disheartening.

Base Ball.


The Decoration day game at Mount
Holly with Hainesport was an ordinary
affair which should have been won by
Mount Holly without much effort, but
Hainesport managed to get two runs
and for awhile it looked as if the visitors
would be the victors. Elvie Wilson, a
former crack player on the Florence
team, was in right field, and he mis-
judged fly ball and his failure to catch
it was responsible for Hainesport's scor-
ing. This error would have ratified a
younger player but Wilson is veteran
and he came up smiling and did some
good stick work. Mount Holly got three
runs. Berner, who pitched for Mount
Holly two seasons ago, was in the box
for Hainesport, and he did his level best
to defeat his former teammates. 1t is
rather a peculiar fact that when man
works for Mount Holly he exhibits in
difference, but when he gets on an OPP
posing team he works his head off.
Berner pitched better chan he did at any
but even at that he did not have any
thing on Forbes, who had the opposing
team right where he wanted them, only
5 hits being recorded against him, and
he struck out IA men; Berner having 8
hits against his delivery and he was
only able to retire men on strikes.

Mount Holly had another game on
Saturday, or at least there was a sort Of
exhibition on the High street grounds.
Manager Perinchief had been disap-
pointed by the local team he had booked
and in order that there should be some
thing doing he took the offer of the
Southern A. c., of Philadelphia, to come
here and play ball. The visitors came
in sections. When it was time to begin
the game there were but six of the team
on the field. The manager and the
balance of the team had been left. The
game began with Clifford Cain in the
pitchers box and Clevenger, of the old
Brown team, catching. Thiswent along
until about the third inning when
another one Of the visitors showed up.
He claimed to be the pitcher and he
took Gains place. 1t would have been
better if Cain had been allowed to re-
main where he was for he had shown
that he has not lost any of his old tricks
and he was able to keep the Mount
Holly team working. In little while
another section of the visitors came
strolling along and in iG was the regular
catcher. He took his position but it did
not improve the makeup any. Mount
Holly simply walked away with the
game and while the visitors got eight
good clean hits off Of Forbes, the score
was IA to in favor of Mount Holly.
