Ger. The arrest created q sensation a.
a ball game was In grogreSs ~ the
time The officers were hired to Keep
order and prevent boys from coming IN
over the fence. OAicer Metcalf discov-
cred a boy entering by the back renee
and went TO him and attempted TO take
him TO the president Of the association,
who was on the grounds. so that he.
the president, might dispose OF MN as
he wished. The boy resisted ana the
officer grasped him about the body ana
carried him. at which a portion OF the
crowd hissed. Shortly after Terry and
his party left the grand stand and on
the way to the gate offered an Insult to
the officer at which he replied with n
repr,mand, at which. 1t Is claimed that
Terry struck Metcalf In the face. The
officer then attempted to put Terry

The Champions won another victory
from the Wilkes Barre team Saturday
by a score of 2S to 3 at the Luzerne
County Fair association grounds, West
Pttston. The Brewery Hills started
with strong game. which they held
until the third inning, when the rooters
punched their hits for four two baggers
and five runs. This discouraged the
visitors who apparently let the game
go as It pleased. The game became
very tlresome and uninteresting, as
Pittston did nothing but sweep up the
Brewery Hills. The poor playing Of the
Wilkes-Barre team Is attributed to the
statement that only four Of their play
ers were present, the other five being
unable to attend. At the eleventh hour
Captain Hoster. Of the team. was no
titled, and not wishing to disappoint
his Pittston friends, enlisted any who
would assist him.
