crowd, styling themselves " The Neversleeps, "

There being no likelihood of the Freeland
club putting in appearance, the crowd gradu

the bag of ducats was seen quietly vending
his way towards the grand stand, and imme.
diately the hungry crowd was in his wake.
As viewed from the grand stand, the scene
presented novel appearance, reminding
one very forcbly of a shepherd leading his
flock. The crowd was finally pacifed by the
liberal offer of the management TO give free

patrons of the park. Two reports were cir

Hazleton aggregation on Saturday, at the lat

suffered greatly at the hands OF the umpire,
Who is manager of the opera con pany playing
at Hazeton. 1t was apparently his desire to
gain the good will of the audience with the
expectation of good house at the company's
last appearance. This he failed to do, how
ever, as the audience gave evidence of their
disapproval Of his partiality on several occa-
siOns. The playing Of the home team up TO

NOTES.
Pottsville was defeated on Saturday by the
score of 8 to 3. The PennsyIvania rail
road team, composed mostly of young boys,
was the club that lowered their colors. Hill.
the formers crack pitcher was knocked out
of the box, home runs being as numerous as
flies around moasses barrel The manner
in which the young boys from Philadelphia
pounded the ball made the heart of the aver.
age Pottsvillan sad.
The next game on the home grounds will
be with the strong Easton club.
Shenandoah is winning, and against strong
base ball teams. The club must certainly be
a good one or it would not put up the game II
does. Pottsyille and Shenandoah had better
get together and decide which is the superior
one. We believe both teams are afraid of
defeat and are not anxious to hav, the game
played The foregoing statement made by
the Ashland Loeai Is incorrect in one mar.
