Base Rail-


n Because neither team had lost gam
p this season Mount Holly and Taubel, 0
/ Riverside, went into the field with BLOOD
a in their eyes and determination not tt
have the record broken One had to &c
t under and, after very exciting game,
t Riverside bit the dust. So determined
| were the visitors to win that thew were
not inclined to show bit of courtesy to
their opponents. Beaudry, Mount
Holly's second baseman, was back in
the game, after having suffered severe
injury to his leg two weeks ago, and
when he got to first and asked for run
ner Riverside's captain refused to allow
him that privilege. In this action the
Riverside man was clearly within the
rules, but he calmly ignored the rule
that does not allow spectators to mingIe
with the players and there was bunch
of Riverside rooters, many under the in
ifuence of Liquor, who were with the
Riverside players during the entire game
and who crowded the base lines and
stubbornly refused to go back. There
were two or three men from Riverside
under the influence of liquor, who were
continually making trouble and they
should have been put off the grounds.
Mount Holly should have scored the
winning run in the seventh inning when
Lippincott might have made home, but
the coacher held him at third. River
sides only chance to score was in the
ninth inning. The first man at bat was
struck out. The next man made a hit
but was caught trying to steal second.
With two out the next man got hit !
and the next batsman was sent to base |
on balls. A hit then meant something, |
but Forbes was on the job and retired |
the third man on strikes. In the tenth !
inning MasteEson was thrown out at first. |
Foulks drew base on balls, and was
advanced to second and third on hits by |
Beaudry and circuit. Jack Gillian went /
to bat and the moment Riverside's |
pitcher got ready to deliver the ball |
Foulks started for the home plate and |
Gillian made neat bunt. The ball
was recovered by the pitcher, but the
run scored by Foulks and the play made
by Gillian came so suddenly that the
twirler was dazed and did not seem to
know what to do so he stood still and
held the ball, but the work was all done,
Mount Holly had scored and the game
was over.
yxYnn Nrfx Rrvra H. Co.
but he did some good stick work, getting
three hits.
McCue played star game behind the
bat. In one inning he dropped pitched
ball, which went about four feet back Of
him but he ran and picked it up, threw
it with lightning speed to second and
caught the runner who thought he had
an easy thing of it.
Mount Holly got II hits off of the
Riverside man, but they could not seem
to place them in the proper place at
critical times.
Forbes was in firstrate form and struck
out ID Of the opposing team while the
Riverside man famed but three of the
Mount Holly team.
Jersey" Masterson's first hit was
beauty. 1t would have been a home
run but unfortunately the foul flag was
not in the position to allow the ball to
go in fair ground.
Five hits were all that Riverside could |
get off of Forbes.
You will go long distance and not
see better game of ball than that of
Saturday. And Mount Holly has not
yet lost game.
OF what use is an officer without
uniform or badge? You may use all
the arguments that you want to but the
uniform commands respect. When Bob
Myers appeared in full "blue'' he did ,
more in five minutes than had been |
done all the afternoon.
There was one "kick" over the de-
cisions of umpire Shinn and the game
was delayed for short time, Riverside
wanting Shinn removed, but their de-
sires did not prevail Not being willing
to give runner to a partially crippled
man there was no special reason why
they should have any concessions. AS
a fact the decisions did not affect the re-
suit as the men over whom the discus
sion arose did not score.
Following is the score
