BASE BALL.

Last Sunday was great base ball day
in Freeland. The female club of Gin
cinnati was the attraction and proved to
be the best drawing card that ever came
to town. The day was wet and misty
and unsuitable for any kind of outdoor
sport. 1t frightened for a short while
in the afternoon and the players took
advantage of the clearing to begin the
game" Seven innings, more or less,
were INDUCED in, when the rain came
down too thick to continue. The fea-
lures and runs were innumerable and it
will never be known which side won.
Yet the people didn't care. They came
to see the girls try to play and were not
disappointed. The "Reds' did all the
sex is capable of doing in the base ball
line and no one expected any more. But
what an audience The young and old,
rich and poor, the crippled and lame, all
were there The Indians and the color
ed people of town were represented, and
even Ying Lee, the washeeman of Wash
ington Street, went to see the "Melican
gal slide 'ome." Whatever might be
said of their ability to play ball the de-
pertinent of the female club on and off
the field was highly creditable and the
most fastidious found nothing wrong in
their conduct

also was astonisbing as everyone hei;ay'
ed the ASSOCIATION to he one of the
strongest in the State in that resnect
resigned the positions they held under
Coke Bros. d Co., and intend removing
TO other locallties. Much sympathy was
expressed IN base ball circles for the
premature death OF the ASSOCIATION, as
the club was obtaining reputation for
Its excellent and gentlemanly playing,
and was never in better condition
The TRIBUNE hopes to see reorganiza-
ton effected before the men become
scattered.
The Alerts, of Phillipsburg. N. j..
played at Drifton on Saturday afternoon.
The game was well PLAYED and in the last
half of the ninth inning the score was
8 to in Drifton's favor. A Phillipsburp
man was on third and came home on a
hit which Umpire Bonner called a foul.
The Alerts, however, objected to the

Jeanesville plays with Mahanoy City,
at Jeanesville, on Saturday afternoon.
They will play two games at Catasauqua
on July 4.
Jennings is fast enough for the com
pany he is in, and his work compares
favorably with the best Louisville play
er. He has gradually raised in the
batting order of the club and is now
fourth.
