in the history of local base ball. That
Is saying considerable to commence with,
but the attraction booked for that date is
certain to bear out this prophecy. The
renowned Gorhams, the crack coored
club of America, formerly the Cuban
Giants and Monarchs, will swoop down
upon the town with an old plantation
yell and do their utmost to carry off the
honors of the day. This they will find
no easy task, for they will be met with
the strongest team that has ever stepped
upon the Freeland diamond. 1t is des-
tined to be grand struggle and the low
price OF admission, fifteen cents, will put
premium on standing room. Game
called promptly at three o'clock.
Arrangements have been made by
which Freeand will play out Drifton's S
schedule for the balance of the season.
This comprises five games at home and
two trips out of town. Saturday and
gramme.
In Welch and Heffron and Anderson
and Brady Freeland has two of the finest
batteries in the State. The only thing
to be feared is that some of the big
League or Association magnates will step
in and gobble them up.
Jeanesville will play here on July 1S,
when picnic will be held at the park
by the Freeland Association.
The Silver Brook Club went to Sandy
Run on Saturday and defeated the club
at that place by score of to 6.
There will be no game here on the
Fourth, Freeland having been disap-
pointed by the club which was to come.
Manager Hanlon expects to have his
team in Scranton on the 24th, Wilkes
Barre on the 25th, and home again on
the Goth, when the Brooklyn Club will
| be here.
Girardville, Schuylkill County, has a
femal lie club, the "Queens of the Dia-
mond," which defeated the Reds last
Saturday. The latter team plays at Lans-
ford next Saturday,
Anderson and Brady are more than
pleased with the town and its people,
and the latter-well, they are about dead
stuck on the new battery. If they come
out of next Sundays contest with flying
colors there will be nothing in the town
too good for them.
An interesting game was played at
Jeanesville on Saturday between the
Jeanesville and Mahanoy City Clubs.
Jeanesville won by score of IA to II.
Llerdt and Schmear were in the points
for Jeanesville until the fifth inning,
when they were relieved by Lukens and
Simmons. Heiser and Mulvey was the
battery for Mahanoy.
Next Sunday the Freeland manage
ment will pay the largest guarantee ever
given to any club that has played in the
coal region. After this game slight ad-
vance will be added to the usual rate of
admission when first-class clubs are
brought from distance, owing to the
increased expense in procuring such at
fractions. They come high, but we must
have them.

on Monday and Tuesday, and the home
team bit the dust in both games. Swart-
man pitched on Monday and 15 hits were
made off his delivery. Score, II to Is.
Gormley. of Lansford, was tried the fol-
lowing day, and the Gorhams touched
him safely IL times. Score, Is to II.
The visitors created much amusement
by their unique coaching.
Freeman, of Wilkes-Barre, opened
with Washington against the Athletic
sluggers on Saturday. His work was ex-
cellent and Manager Snyder says he is
'comer." Freeman is well-known around
here, having spent his boyhood days in
Hareigh and Highland. At the latter
place he attended school and afterwards
picked slate, but showed no signs of at
tanning a national reputation as a twirer,
although he was member of all the
famous junior "nines" so profolic in
! Highland at one time.
