SPORT S
DELANCO STAYS AT TOP
BY DEFEATING MT. HOLLY

Delanco kept pace with Medford in
the Burlington County League by de-
feating Mount Holly 3 to in a
hard-fought struggle on Saturday.
The game was pitchers battle
between Hansbury and Lippincott,
with the former getting the better
of the argument. Hansbury allowed
but three hits, all singles and had a
shutout victory in hand until the
ninth inning when the Hollys' put
over counter on errors.
Lippincott also twirled a great
game, permitting only six hits and
tanning seven batsmen. Delanco,
however, made good use of its hits,
five of them figuring in the scoring.
Mount Holly's three hits were widely
scattered and failed to do any good
in the way of run-making.
The winners put over run in the
first inning. Horn walked and came
all the way home when G. Shaw
pummeled double to center field
The winning run was scored in the
sixth when ]. Shaw opened with a
double to center and checked in on
Robinson's one-base crack to port
Delanco added another run in the
eighth for good measure when Rob-
inson singled, was advanced to Sec
ond by Quigg, and scored on Hans
bury's torrid swat over the hot cor
nels.
Mount Holly registered its lone
marker in the ninth. Wilson batted
for Albertson and was hit by pitch
ed ball. Eckert drove a grounder to
]. Shaw, who fumbled, Wilson reach
ing third and Eckert pulling up at
second. Rossell also grounded to j.
Shaw, who tried to cut off Wilson at
the plate. In the run down, Shaw
dropped the ball, Wilson scoring the
run that prevented a whitewash.

ford on Saturday by the score of
to 2 Medford scored all its runs in
the fourth inning and all were the
direct result of two costly errors by
Ledger, Roebling shortstop.
Medford could get only seven hits
loft Salaga and Charles Chance, while
A. Vaughn was nicked for nine by
the losers. Vaughn, however, kept
the hits we'll scattered until the eigh-
/ tn inning when Roebling rallied and
scored two runs by heavy clouting.

the eighth inning and gave Medford
a scare. Mitchell, Gotch and Clar-
ence Chance singled in row, load
ing the cushions. Popinka and Led
ger lofted long flies to the outer gar
dens, Mitchell and Gotch scoring.
