Bordentown rims
Local Club Again

Beverly and Bordentown played
on the latter's grounds on Saturday
afternoon and the Sons of Bonypart
took the victory by score of 9-3.
Pitcher Lippincott had on his air.
tight clothes and Beverly could land
on him for only four hits. Devine
wasn't in such good shape, Borden
town touching him for fourteen hits.
Bordentown started the fireworks
in the fourth inning by getting three
runs, and Beverly did the same thing
in the fifth, tieing the score. This
piece of work on Beverly's part got
on the nerves of the Bordentown
fellows and they collected themselves
for three more tallies in the sixth
inning and a like number in the
eighth inning.
1t was great day for Lippincott,
moundsman for Bordentown. He
famed the last six Beverly players
to face him, not ball going to the
infield. His hooks had the local
club standing on their heads trying
to reach them. When the Beverly
players were doing their wild fan
ming stunts in these last two in
nings they looked something like
going through unlicensed chiroprac-
tic adjustments. 1t is small wonder
that some of the local boys didn't
break their backs. The score:

Fishing Improves
AS Water Clears

After lot of rainy weather which
kept anglers away from the popular
fishing resorts along the bay, big
catches are now being made IN the
Delaware Bay, with croakers and
weakfish running strong. In spite of
the frequent showers, the bay has
been unusually calm this spring.
While some boats have caught as
high as one hundred and fifty to
two hundred fish on trip to the
fishing grounds the tendency among
parties going out this season is to
take only as many fish as they can
use or distribute among their friends.
There has been lot Of criticism Of
"fish-hog" tactics in previous years
and it is claimed that lot of food
fish caught have been wasted.
Rivalry among some of the boat
captains to establish a reputation
among the city fisherman as to
which boat landed the most fish is
being curbed through mutual
agreement, it is said.

FLORENCE TAKES SECOND
STRAIGHT SHUTOUT AT HANDS
OF MOUNT HOLLY NINE

Cy Young and his league leaders
had no difficulty shutting out Flor
ence on Saturday before one of the
largest crowds at the Mount Holly
grounds thus far this season. Young
did his own teams pitching and the
Florence aggregation could get only
five scattered hits from his delivery.
Jack Sweeney was the motive pow
er for his team and against him
were chalked up nine safeties and
two runs. 1t was anybody's game
until the eighth inning, Mount
Holly having only one run up to
that time. Florence threatened to
score several times, but good playing
on the part of Mount Holly's infield
kept the foundrymen from tallying
anything but ovals.

Babe Ruth Stars
At Delanco Game

Fulfilling expectations of his
many admirers, Babe Ruth, the fa-
nous home-run swatter, came
across with the longest four-bag
hit ever seen on the Delanco ball
field, on Tuesday evening, winning
the game between Delanco and an
aggregation of picked stars from,
the Burlington County League.
The hit was sky high and went
sailing over the right field fence,
amidst the loud plaudits of a crowd
estimated to be in the neighl5orhood
of 5000. There was runner on
second at the time, netting two runs.
On his first time up, Ruth hit y
hot single over second, scoring Horn.
The big Lacquer was advanced to
second on an infeld hit, stole third
and came home on Deitrich's single
to right. The next time at bat the
famous Babe was robbed of a hit
when his terrific line drive to right
was caught by Gilbert. The third
trip to the plate by Ruth brought
the home run, and the last time he
walked when he was hit on the leg
by pitched ball.
Sweeney, captain of the All-Stars,
pitched seven frames against Delan-
co and then ordered Lippincott to
finish the game. Cooper occupied
the mound for Delanco. Barring
Ruth's smuggling the hitting was
about equal. 1t was the work of the
big Lacquer that brought victory for
the home team.
The large crowd of spectators
came from all sections of the county
and from Camden.

Bordentown has postponed game
to play with Riverside and Mount
Holly had regular scheduled game
with the same team for last Wednes-
day night, SO by throwing out both
of these games the chances of the
League leaders will not be impaired.
1t has been repeatedly stated
throughout the county papers that
"Chick" Holmes, who is on the re-
serve list of the local club, and
playing with Camden, had been re-
leased due to batting slump to the
Ascension team of the Penn-Jersey
League, of which Camden is a CON
tender and holds first place. This
may be a fact, but we notice that
Chicks" name generally appears
in the lineup. Only last week he
came up to the old rubber and
clouted out hit that won a ten
inning battle. We feel sure that he
--~----ro :
will come back shortly to his natural
batting stride.
The practice of having all the
managers of the Burlington County
League sign up giving their consent
to the signing of new player is
all right as far as it goes but it
does not go far enough. 1t should
be stipulated that the player must
take part in at least three games,
as this would break up the prac-
tice of pitchers and Others being
signed to pitch one game and then
allowed to CO. A sample of that
case was at Mount Holly on Tues
day night last when Hockenberry
pitched for Florence. The chances
are he will never again be heard
of again in a Florence uniform. He
proved an expensive failure at that,

The Burlington County League
held an Interesting session on Fri
day night at Burlington, one of the
principal subjects being started by
Bordentown when they insisted in
having Longhurst made resident
of that city, probably because they
wanted to go out and get some
more outside talent to boost their
already expensive team. AS Long
hurst is willing to hang his hat any
place he can get good money for
pitching, the League turned the mo-
ton down unanimously. There will
be no more ringers" allowed in
the League either, such as Borden
town worked on Mount Holly, when
they played Lefty Roberts, OF Long
Branch, under the name OF Alberts,
and Manager Jones, Of Mount Holly,
was highly commended by the other
Managers of the League for his
charitable and sportmanlike view OF
the matter when he permitted him
to play sooner than have the game
go by default.

Boxing Attraction
AT r & P Field

Realizing that the last open-air
boxing show at the baseball park in
Mount Holly was a hard one to beat
the Holly Athletic Association, the
managers of the boxing bouts, hav-
ing been casting about ever since
to make up card that win at
least come up to the show of June
10Th.
With this idea in view they have
secured Babe" Ruth, not the fence
busting batter of the American
League, but a young fighter who
hits fast and sure and is a mighty
hard man to hit. Ruth halls from
Philadelphia and weighs 1873 pounds
while the boy matched against him
in the eight round windup of the
night is Tommy Wilson, 1873, of the
Southwark Athletic Club, fighter
who tears in and wears his opponent
down, so this will pit fighter against
boxer, and these are the kind of
fights that the public wants.
In the semi-wnidup Charlie Martin
of Philadelphia, and Johnnie Lewis,
of New Brunswick, will meet at 1l2
pounds and for eight rounds. The
fight must be costing the promoters
real money as both are contestants
fer the title. Lewis has met Marty
Gold and other sterling fighters,
while Martin has newspaper deci-
sions over Pussy Walker, Joe Col
lett, Steve Cole and others.
The bout between Eddie Fisher, of
Riverside, and Jimmy Burns, of Phil
adelphia, would be wind-up attlac-
ton at many shows, but the Mount
Holly management is satisfied TO
give them third place on the pro-
gram. They will fight at 1913 pounds
Fisher is a willing and ready fight
er and is always ready to box any
man the promoters pick out for him
but in Burns he will probably meet
the toughest customer of his Career.
Everybody knows what Fisher can
do. but Burns is touted as being one
of the best club fighters in Phila-
delphia and club fighter is boy
who is known to be on his feet bat
Ting from the sound of time until
the fight is over. This should be a
real battle royal.
No less an attraction will be the
six-round fight to be put on by Ed
die CLANCY, of Camden, and Pete
Mcbride, of Camden. These boys
will meet at 1872 pounds and there
should not be an idle moment after
they start, as both are battling for
a reputation and that is what makes
real fighters. Both will bring d
large following from Camden.
Bob Mcclellan, Mount Holly's fay
orite, will meet Max Berbeke, of
Camp Dix, in a six-round go, also,
and as Bob, has been getting away
with his opponents rather easily in
previous fights, The promoters think
they have them matched with the
strongest opponents yes. Well, he
will have to go some if he bests Nc
Clellan, for Mac is conner and
looks every inch lighter. They
will weigh in at 142 pounds.
The seating is arranged for
over 1000 people, all seats good,
with no distractions between them
and the fighters. Reserved seats
will go on sale at Aliens drug
store, Mount Holly, on Saturday,
June 18th, at noon ard the price
will be $l.65. General Adhesion,
with good seat, Sl.0O. Pouts will
start at $50, and in case Of rain
will be pulled IF on Monday night,
July 14th.

WHEAT DOWN
EARLY TODAY
Varies From Unchanged Fig
ureS to Lower at Start

Chicago, Oct. 29.-(By the A. P.)-
Moderate commission house selling
together with lack of sustained de-
mand, turned wheat downward today
during the early transactions. The
opening which varied from unchang-
ed figures to rs cents lower, with
December $l.4l 5-S to SLAP and May
S1.47 to STAT 3-S, were followed by
numerous changes between yester-
days finish and / 1-2 cents below.
Subsequently declines went about
one-half cent further, but then
wheat advanced on account of bull
ges in corn.
