LOST GAME TO SHAMOKIN.
There Was Plenty of Brilliant Work and
tho Contest Was Very Interesting

There was Plenty OF brluiant WoIh "hu
tho Contest Was Very Interesting
Throughout.
Saturdays foot ball game at the base
ball park between the team from Sha-
mokin and Manager Cahilps men was
better attended than the games preced-
ing it this season. The game was won
by the visitors, but brilliant play OIL
both sides made up for the loss of the
game. The Shamokin team was pre-
ceded by reputation that gave 1t the
name of being one of the strongest
eleyens in the state and beforehand the
expectation inclined toward the defeat
of the home team. The work of Sim
mons, of Shamokin, and owen Walsh.
of Scranton, was superb. 1t was not
any particular star play made by either
but the all-round good work shown dur
ing the game. But Walsh covered him
self with glory when he secured the
first touch down for Scranton. Fol-
lowed by Simmons he secured the ball
and ran thirty yards. The interference
Of Connery, Dan Colbert and Decker at
this point, created much enthusiasm
and was loudly applauded.
Shamokin won the toss, but Scranton
secured the ball on the kick and by
energetic tackling got it to ShaiOltin's s
thirty yard line, where they lost 1t on
four downs. In twelve minutes the
Shamokins got the ball back to Scran-
toms flve-yard line, and Simmons ran
through Scranton's tackle for a touch
down. Simmons missed the goal. Score,
Shamokin 4, Scranton 0.
The visitors again secured touch
down easily, mainly through the good
work of Simmons and j. Walsh. They
again failed to kick goal.
The first half was within six minutes
Of time and the home team put their
time to good use by scoring a touch
down and kicking difficult goal. 1t
was here that owen Walsh made the
long run for touch down. Score,
Shamolkin s, Scranton 6. The ball was
in midfeld when time was called.
The second half was stubbornly con-
tested. A decision Of the umpire, who
claimed that the home players were
| playing offside, awarded the visitors
the ball and ten yards of a gain. 1t
was not hard for the visitors to get the
ball to Scranton's flve-yard line, but
for five minutes 1t was n fierce battle
before the Shamokins got a touch
| down. Simmons kicked an easy goal,
making the score IA to in Shamokin's
| favor. Before any more scoring could
be done on either side time was called.
| The positions of the players were as

A Ruined Wedding Cake.

An English gentleman residing in
Calcutta brought an action against "a
firm of Paris pastry cooks and confcc-
TONERS under rather interesting circum-
stances. Tho plaintiff was about to be
married and ordered what has been call
ed Il phenomenal wedding cake from
the defendants. a sum of $3.50 was
paid down for the cake on delivery.
The colossal and expensive article of
confectionery was packed by the plain
tiff S order, and he took it with him to
Calcutta. On opening the case contain
ing the cake when he arrived in India,
the Englishman found that he had lit
orally nothing but a shapeless mass of
crumbs. The splendid gatcau had been
hopelessly bruised and broken during
the voyage.
An action was then brought against
the Paris firm for IL sum of $l35, which
included, besides the price paid for the
cake, the cost of packing and transport.
The defendants maintained before the
Paris tribunal of commerce that they
had no more responsibility after they
had delivered over the cake to tho per
son who ordered 1t. 1t was true that
they recommended packer, but that
expert acted under the orders of another
individual, who had been selected by the
plaintiff to supcrintcnd the operation.
The tribunal decided in favor of the de
fendants.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
