Not Allowed to PLAY.

Five carloads of excursionists from
Pittston and other upper end towns
came to Freeland yesterday morning to
witness game Of ball to be played be-
tween the clubs OF Pittston and Ed
wardsville. When the time arrived to
prepare for the game it was discovered
that several members of both clubs were
intoxicated and were without uniforms,
bats, balls or other equipment.
Under the circumstances, the direct
ors OF the Tigers park refused to permit
the grounds TO be used by the visitors,
as the men were not in condition to
give such an exhibition as would war
rant the charging of an admission fec.
The action of the Tigers naturally
caused the upper ond ball players some
disappointment, but the local people
had no other choice in the matter.
When the park was leased guarantee
was given the late Eckley B. Coke that
only respectable sport would be indulged
in, and drunkenness and gambling will
not be tolerated on the grounds.
