in the late days OF the Brooklyn strike or
further back III our Civil War. when out OF
seven hundred men who went Into that fight

officers places in other regiments before the
war ended.

that they knew would be hurled at them by

Base Ball Notes.

Thursday forenoon the Reynoldsville
ball team played the Summervillc club
on the latters ground and were defeated.
The score was li-l1. Our boys claim
they did not try hard to beat Summer
vile, but were saving themselves for
the afternoon game In Brookvile.
Thursday afternoon our ball team
played the Brookville team on the lat
ter's ground, and, to the surprise Of the
county seat club, defeated them. The
score was 3 I in favor Of our team. In
announcing Thursdays game the
Brookville Democrat said: "The Reyn-
oldsville boys think they are cracker
jacks and that Brookville will not be in
it: but they may get fooled" Brook
rille was not 'in 1t" to any great extent,
and Rcynodsville didn't get fooled.
The Democrat would have given ex-
preston to the opinion Of the Brook
vile people had IL said: Brookville
boys think they are cracker-iacks and
that Reynoldsvillc will not be in IL.
The return game between the Brook
willie and ieynoldsvillc junior ball teams
was played on the grounds at this place
Friday afternoon. The score was 1917
in favor Of the visitors.
The Reynoldsvile ball team left here
yesterday on n trip to st. Marys and
Ridgway. The club played at st. Marys
yesterday afternoon and was badly de-
feated. The score was 3-l5. The boys
play at Ridgway this afternoon.

tween Summerville aud Reynoldsville,
In which the latter was defeated. was
