Diamond Stars of Hazleton on Sunday
in very interesting and exciting game.
Heavy slugging was done by both teams.
The features of the game was the ex-
cellent work of James on third base for
the home team, making three difficult
fly catchers, and in the last inning, with
three men on bases and two out the
batter made a heavy drive to James,
who took it, thereby retiring the side
and winning the game. The work of
Bierly on first base and McCauley, the
catcher, was excellent. Brown and
Deisroth's work for the visitors was very
good. Score, Eckley. 10; Diamond Stars,

Today, June IA, is the one hundred
and fourteenth anniversary of the
adoption of the stars and stripes as
the national flag of the United States.
1t has been suggested in several quar-,
ters that the day be recognized here.
after as a national holiday, and the
suggestion is worthy of consideration.
The date comes midway between
Memorial Day and Independence
Day, and on that account might be
objected to as making holidays too
frequent; but there cannot be too
much repect shown for the old flag,
for it will some day wave over this
land when the people are as happy
and contented as the men who adopt
ed the colors intended they should be.
