their slow, graceful dance at the further

seemed to have been especially com

of a much better thing than Auditor, but the

enough to goaround.

For Clerk Of the Court, A. j. shortall, Of

get one of his scares again and balk in harness,
he may be given the nomination. Charley
G. Matten of Pottsville, says he is going to
get the nomination for Register and has an
insane idea he can beat John Curran, of Cass,
who is one of the strongest nominees of the
opposition. In the humble opinion of your
scribe Ben. Severn would make stronger
nominee for Register than Matten, but the
latter seems to want it and his friends are
aiding in getting his little ambition satiated
with the chances of good whipping which
may make him wish he had let stronger
man have it.
For County Treasurer, DIR. Dechert, of
Cressona, will be nominated if Alex. Scott, of
Frackville is no longer a candidate, which
was reported yesterday.
In case the convention decides to put up a

when Umpire Whalen yelled "Play ball" and
short stop Heckman bagged the deciding
ball at exactly Gal, so that the admirers Of
the national game had two hours and thirty
one minutes of it,
For the first four innings the contest was
one that bid fair to become a Comedy Of
errors" In the first inning the home team
made a home run, two bagger and single,
with a cleaning of three runs. Pottstown
evened up with doubles and single, gar
nished with a "hit by pitcher" and an error,
which also netted three runs.
Bradley was in the box for the home team.
He came here with big Camden reputation
for pitching and batting and he was working
before a critical Audience. For the first four
innings sentiment went against him. During
that period the PottstOwns secured seven
singles and two doubtless while from the Is
year old-Harvey tine home team had secured
but two singles and a double 1t looked blue
from home standpoint, and many wondered
where Bradley had sunk the foundation for
his reputation, but before the game was over
everybody was satisfied-so far rs Bradley's
ability was concerned. If he does the same
work in every game he will get more white
flannel suits than Setley received.
True, thirteen hits were made on the new
mans delivery, but at critical points he
showed head as much different from pump
kin as Daniel Websters head was from Bar
NUNS famous "Zip's." He is a cool, calculat-
Ina MA !,
judging from his showing yesterday, wheat
must ,urely be down to 10. In the eighth
inning there were three men on bases and
Bradley had the ball. People who seemed to
know how TO play ball better than he did
shouted the direction in which he should
throw the mischievous little spheer But
Bradley kept his head, and after he saw the
man who had started from the third bag re.
turn, he sent the ball to first in time to put
the runner out. 1t was play of calculation
and Bradley was applauded for it,
After the fourth inning the game was an
interesting one with one exception, which
was the Shenandoah halfOf the eighth inning
In that part ten OF the home team went to
bat. Fulmer Henry and Hotlard got their
base on balls, Hickman and Toole got their
base on errors, and Messitt and Bradley each
made hit. The home team made four runs
in this inning and put an end to the nip and
tuck aspect of the game.
The features of the game were Klink's
work in left field and Cleary's centre field
work. The latter by the way, is a worker
and sprinter.
Young Harvey made an excellent showing
for the Pottstowns and it was generally be-
lieved that the game would have been closer
had he been allowed to remain in the box.
The home team put up pretty good game,
but here and there were noticed some very
slow movements. Henry worked like vet
eTan aud more than counterbalanced his poor
work in the last game; but Martin seemed to
have got the shoes that Henry cast aside, and
showed up pretty weak at several critical
stages. But a few hours consultation will
soon put all the points in good shape, and un-
less something very unexpected happens the
club, three victories will be chalked for
Shenandoah before next Tuesday night.
