The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1917-06-26

Everham, Lumberton's pitcher, has
the making of an excellent twirler.
Lumberton objected to one or two
decisions of the umpires. They miss
ed Cooney.
Clever fielding on the part of Cam
den A. c., won the game from Roeb-
ling, Saturday, by the score of Z to 2.
Jack Gillian was pressed into SER
vice, Saturday, and he had one hit and
made one of the runs that won the
game.
McCue never caught better game
than he did on Saturday, and Beaud-
ry was right on the spot at second
and doing fine fielding.
Shemeley was unable to be on hand,
Saturday, and Morgan demonstrated
his ability as an all-round player, fill
ing the position at third very accepta-
bly,.
Empire Tire, of Trenton, went to
Florence, Saturday, and up to the
ninth inning it was anybody's game
With one man out Florence scored one
run and won the game.
Florence will be here next Saturday
Still feeling the sting Of the defeat ad-
ministered by Mount Holly on its
home grounds, Florence will come
with the determination to get revenge.
Monnt Holly will have to play ball.
Moorestown won its sixth consecu-
tive game Saturday, defeating Beverly
by the score of IL to 5. They got rs
hits and placed them to advantage.
w. French played star game. He
got two hits and two runs. In one
inning, after sending out a single, he
stole second, third and home.
Jess Foulks made bad error in the
third inning when he dropped a fly
ball that went right into his hands.
There was man going to first base at
the time and Jess probably had his eye
more on the runner than he did on the
ball. But he made up for it later
when he made two-base hit which
gave Mount Holly the lead. Incident
ally it may be said that this was the
first fly ball that Jess has dropped
since he has been playing here.
A funny one was the report in a
Philadelphia paper which referred first
to eddie Williams Youngsters, and
then mentioned the veteran" La
Fi.te. They do say that Eddie writes
the reports, and he forgot to mention
that his youngsters" were composed
of four semi-proressionals, hired es-
peciallv for the occasion. They prob
ably came high, and could not win,
at that.
Lumberton had an enthusiastic
rooter by the name of Jones, who lives
at Medford. He became so noisy and
ugly that umpire Pfester ordered him
placed on the bleachers. Jones at once
donned suit and took position on
the coacher's line, where he jumped up
and down like jumping jack, but he
did not succeed in leading Lumberton
to victory. He called on the latter
players to hit it on the nose" unit,
somebody mentioned a "hit on the
nose" that was given him in Medford,
and then he got another tune.
Eddie Williams, the great ''sport" of
Riverton, has been having an easy
time with the weak teams, but he ran
up against the real thing, on Saturday,
when his opponents were the Straw
bridge & Clothier team, OF Philadel-
phia. In order to secure a victory
Eddie decided not to rely on the local
talent he has been using but, like the
"true sport that he is he at once look
ed around for pads. He got Knots,
LaFitte and Sharpe, of the Delaware
County league club, at Chester, and
Howard Berry, the boy who has pu.
the University of Pennsylvania very
much on the sporting map. And it
was Berry who got the only run that
Eddie's made-up team scored. He got
three of the eight hits, and in the
eighth inning, stole second, third and
home. Strawbridge & Clothier won
the game in the first inning. With
two out, the next man at bat worked
LaFitte for a pass and scored all the
way from first on Bateman's double,
the latter coming in on single. Eddie
Williams name does not appear in
the box score, nor does the paper state
that feature of the game was the
usual monkey shine coaching of the
sporting manager"
