This was too much. Expecting to see
her recoil, possibly break down, eagerly
looked her way for the permission to in
terfere which she might now be ready to
give me. But with a proud lift of her
head she showed herself equal to the
emergency, and her answer, given simply
and with no attempt at subterfuge, re-
stored her at once to the dignit1ed position

ARCHIBALD.

The Scranton Alumni base ball team,
which has taken two out of three
games from Carbondale, as we'll as
Honesdale, met defeat Saturday on the
local grounds at the hands Of the Arch
bald base ball team, The home team
outclassed the visitors from the start
and but for rather loose plays would
have shut them out. The feature of
the game was the hitting by some Of
the newer additions to the team
Boland and Dougher, especially, The
work in the outfield was worthy of par
ticular mention, each OF the fielders
having difficult put-outs. The visitors
found Dougher for only four hits, while
the locals secured seven hits. The score
was 6-2 in favor of Archibald. The
next game will be Honesdale VS.. Arch
bald, on our own grounds, Tuesday
afternoon. A generous response TO the
collection will be expected, as the ex-
pense of bringing this team here is
very heavy.

A kick, therefore, on any old thing,
and then retreat from the field II
the kick be not sustained, would be
Infinitely better than sticking 1t out
for a falrly-administered walloping.
This ls the way Captain Franz, of the
Scranton crowd, and some of his men
thought, and they proceeded to put the
idea into action.
Harrison made his way to third base,
when the ball was thrown by Crane
from the crowd in left field. Franz
fell on Harrison, in the judgment OF
those close by, had the base. though
it was mighty close. Umpire Burke
allowed Harrison the base because of
the ball being blocked. He didn't
says anything as to whether or not
Harrison was touched out; he simply
acted on the blocked ball proposition.
Then there was a Scranton howl,
headed by Catcher Jimmie Kane. who
is a basket of peaches at kicking and
grumbling. Manager Ruane Joined in
the kick. advising Captain Franz to
give UP II the decision be not recalled.
Burke would not recant. as he had no
authority. Harrison had clearly made
second DaSe OH crane 1alluTe 10
gather in the hit. and on the blocked
ball. therefore, he was entitled to an
other base. namely third. which he
held. But when this was explained.
Manager Ruane began to kick about
McTierney having spiked Pitcher Reed,
which McTierney explains by declaring
Reed put his feet out, as IL to trip
him. The growing and grumbling Of
Kane. Franz. ct al, continued. agree
ing however to go on if Umpire Burke
be put out of the game. This would
have been notoriously unfair to Burke,
under the circumstances, and the Car
bondale team would not stand for this
stigma resting on him. Accordingly,
the game ended by the decision being
in favor of Carbondale. Thus ended
one of the poorest exhibitions ever wit
messed on a Carbondale ball field.
The Crescents outplayed the Scran-
ton men at every stage of the game,
and that's why the game broke up.
Only two hits were gotten off Harri-
son IN six innings. We got eight. Ros-
Ter had one. McTierney one-a two

Flannelly and Emmett one each, and
Harrison two, the second a three-bag-

though not costly. We got eight hits,
all told.
