would have caught the other fellow
but Beaudry dropped the ball.
Charley Peacock was happy man,
Saturday, and nobody could blame
him, for the team he plays with won a
game from Mount Holly.
florence has two things to its credit.
1t was the second team to beat Mount
Holly in SO games and the firstto COM
pei Forbes to retire from the pitchers
box.
]. Reynolds, pitching for the Beverly
Field Club, held Vitrix, of Philadel-
phia, down to one hit, that being a
two-bagger. He did uot walk a man.
The score was Beverly IL, Vitrix 0.
Morgan, in the last two games, has
shown himself an ''all-round" player.
In the game with Lumberton he
covered third base and on Saturday he
went into the pitchers box after having
been out of it for three years.
Delanco had an easy time Saturday,
with Bristol, winning by the score OF
9 to 8. Jimmy Greenwald was very
much in evidence with his stick, get.
ting three of the eight hits made by
his team.
| BY the score of 9 to Moorestown
won its seventh straight victory, Sat
urday, when it defeated Lumberton
FL. Murphy, third baseman for Moores
town, made a beautiful one-hand STOP
which prevented possible home Iun
Up to andfncluding Saturday Mount
Holly had played 80 games, in which
it scored IA shutouts-one on Florence
land was beaten in two-one by
Florence-not shutout-the other by
Eddie Williams packed Riverton
team.
| LaFitte had to go hack to Chester,
Saturday, ESQ Eddie Williams put
young Berry in the box and beat Tau
bel, of Riverside, 10 to l. LaFitte was
not so successful as when playing
against the country clubs, as Upland
won the game.
The members of the Mount Holly
team who live in Florence had to take
a dose of their own medicine Saturday
Ievening. When Mount Holly shut
Florence out the players of the former
team told the other fellows all about il
quite often. But things were different
after the game Saturday.
That Florence is not the smuggling
team" that some claim it to be ID
shown by the score. While it goi
eleven hits off Forbes in the first
tour innings, it was presented with five
bases on balls, one man was hit by Q
pitched ball, and Mount Holly made
two errors. When Morgan was put il
Florence was held down to four hits
and Morgan had not pitched for three
years.
Charley Peacock playswith the same
earnestness that characterized him
when he was younger, but he has on'
bad habit, and that is he tries to tel
everybody-especially the umpires-
how they should act. Charley used tt
lead off in the batting list for Florence
J but he is down No. 6 now. He say
Florence has manager who thinks 1
man should be put to the bottom o
the list if he does not hit 400 every
time. The funny thing is that Char
ley allows the manager tell him any
thing about it.
| O'Rourke, second baseman for Flor
ence, says he is going to quit playing
after the next two games. He evident
| ly has been playing for the sport of it
for he told that he had been acting al
"scout''for some Of the big league clubs
He is reported to have said Phila
delphia had given him $751; 900 for find
ling pitcher Alexander. He ought Il
know good player when he sees one
and he says Shemelia, Mount Holly
third baseman, has all the characters
tics of a first-class player, if somebody
would give him few instructions
} Maybe O'Rourke would undertake tn
job for trif1e-say couple of thou
sand. But, from what Shemelia ha
done, he will probably improve with
out any special instructions.
