sOnerss, Beaten Bat Not Dishsartsned.


Friday Somersct's base bali team met
their first Waterloo this season, AT the
hands OF lockwood on the home grounds,
the score standing l3 10 in favor Of the
visiting nine at the close Of the game.
The game was witnessed by the largest
crowd ever present ON the home grounds,
and outside of its being 80 completely
one-sided was thoroughly enjoyed.
Somerset's players were like 1.-The
bound boy at a husiSing'' from the time
the game was called until the close of the
seventh inning, when they made their
only run, they didn't have anything to
say;'' in fact several of the team have
since confessed that when they stepped
up TO the plate they believed that Alt
man had by some means or other gotten
possession Of David's sling aud was hurl-
ing pebbles at them instead of beautiful
ly curved balls. Players who have here
tofore been looked upon as sure and
heavy hitters pounded the air spasmOdi-
czilly, but always before or amer the ball
had crossed the plate. Altman appeared
To feel sorry for '-Our own" and allow
ed one or two of them to touch the
sphere. His idea evidently was, however,
10 shut the home team ont altogether,
bat his side-play got too far away with
him and he could not prevent SaylOr
from scoring in the seventh.
Altman struck out Is men, and of the
twenty-seven put out at least twenty
four were placed to the credit of the
Uniontown battery.
With due respect TO the splendid abili-
ty of the home team it was apparent from
the outstart that Altman and Sterling
could have shut them out without a base
hit.
The lockwood players encouraged by
the brilliant playing of their imported
battery played unusually well, but not
well enough to bat Pugh. They were
retired in one, two, three order almost
as often as they got TO bat, while Sterling
and Altman hammered the bali all over
the field and made seven of the thirteen
runs, and brought in at least four of the
remaining six scores credited TO Rock
wood.
The Somerset team played their usual eN-
cellent game, barring their NERVOUSNESS,
and i'm excuse for this it can be said that
they were never before pitted against the
acknowledged best battery in the State
out side of the national league. They still
claim 10 be the champion club of the
county.
Following is the score by innings:
Somerset o o o 0-l
lockwood 0 3 o 0-l3
The UniOntown Amateurs defeated the
Johnstown Athletics, Monday, on the
latter's grounds by a score of 2l to /.
Altman and Sterling were the battery for

Dividing an Estate.

Last week the supreme court of Penn
sylvania handed down a decision that has
attracted wide attention. The contrOver-
sy arose over the estate of Jennie Z.
Scott, of Altoona, the amount involved
to about S20,OO0. Miss Scott
left her estate to be divided among her
nephews and nieces, passing over her
brothers and sisters. She had two broth
ers and two sisters, but her nephews and
nieces numbered fourteen. The question
was ~ to whether the estate should be
divided into fourteen equal parts and a
share given to each nephew and each
niece. or whether one of the .legatees,
named as the only heir of one of deced-
ent's brothers. should take a fourth share
of the entire estate.
The auditor and the orphans court of
Blair county had decreed to this one heir
the supreme court by its decision revers-
ed this decision and gives each nephew
and each niece one-fourteenth of the en-
tire estate. Thus the court decided in
favor of y distribution under the will per
capita instead Of per stripes.
