LAST WEEK OPENS.

Monday was marked by two events
The British cable was crossed at 4
o'clock in the morning and the Cali
fornia folk sent some news of the out
side world for the workers af1oat.
/; There was some increase in the seas
and the winds and the appearance of
another storm was impaired by the
choppy seas which rose and sent the
great ship rolling about like a porpoise.
The record showed 211 miles for the
twentyfour hours. The first real ac-
cident of the trip was recorded this
day, owing to the slipping of one of
the men whose duty keeps him in the
tanks, where, with a score of others,
he watched the uncoiling, assisting in

and suffered the dislocation of his
shoulder, as well as many bruises.
Tuesday of this week marked the
most unusual meather of the entire
cruise, for it was decidedly uncommon
for the latitude in which the ship then
was. The great vessel was rapidly los
ing its load, and in consequence be-
came more and more the sport of the
waves which swept over the rails. The
roll was something terrible, and the
handlers of the slender cable had a
bad night of it. Another man was
caught in a coil and had to go to the
sick bed; but despite wind and sea the
day netted for the record of progress
1877 miles.
The end was approaching and every
one was ready to welcome it, for be-
tween the westerly winds and the
light draft of the ship there was a roll
which made it far from pleasant, even
for the men whose lives had been
spent in the business of cable laying.
The wind did not freshen, though, and
Wednesday was greeted with applause.
for the sky cleared and the ship rolled
right along, adding the score of 2O7
miles to the long line Of strand which
then connected the California coast
with the mid Pacific. The first vessel
of the trip was sighted, schooner far

Honesdale on Duffy's Field.

With magnanimity and generosity
characteristic of Carbondalans, Man.
ager Tappan, of the Crescents, has
granted the use of Duffy's field-the
Pets training ground-to the Mayfield
and Honesdale teams for the game to
be played tomorrow afternoon. When
one observes a broad-minded action of
this kind, he cannot help but compare
1t with the smallness of Honesdalians
in refusing to play the Crescents either
on the Honesdale grounds or in this
city. Let us hope, however, that kind
ness of this character will bring the
contracted Honesdalians to a sense of
their obligations to us, even though
this hope be desperate one.
Manager Sam Mendelsohn has lined
up strong team to meet Billy Millers
crowd, and it goes without saying that
hundreds OF the Crescents' rooters will
be on hand to smile encouragement to
good-natured Sam and his men. The
game will commence at $50 o'clock
sharp.
This afternoon the Archibald team
will meet the Honesdale team in the
White Oak borough, and will likely
give the latter another spanking.
Burke, formerly with the New York
Giants, lately Of Atlantic City, will
pitch for Honesdale. A few Carbondal-
ians. more or less, will go to Archibald
to see the game.

ONE NOTCH IN STICK.
Honesdale Team Wins from Jermyn,
Through Several Misplays.

The canal boat aggregation from the
other side of the huckleberry noun
tain cut a large notch In their stick for
the week, not due to any abundance of
ability as base ballists. but rather
through good luck and errors made by
the opposing team.
A large crowd from this city attend
ed the game and, choosing the lesser
Of the two evils, decided to root for
the Jermyn players, and again we
weep.
Our Owney was in the box for the
home team, and among other credit
able things he struck out Mcdonald, of
Archibald, and Billy Miller. Only in one
inning did the Maple city lads connect
with any degree of "muchness." Mil
Ter, the white cOlored man, the player
behind the ball, performed very well
and had the swat artists bending in
all styles for his hoaters and speedy
ones.
1t was not a good game. What spec
tacular playing was seen was offset by
the many misplays. Flannery, Roesler,
McAndrew and Murray, Of the Pets,
played with the losing team. but did
not contribute to the loss of the game.
In the ninth inning F'lannery lost a
chance to score by being caught at
second base on Miller's excellent field
ing of wild throw. 1t was risk and
he lost, but the play was one that any
good runner would have made.
The game was not one whit one
sided. Each team had chance to win
and had victory in it's grasp several
times, but it slipped through every
time but once, and then Honesdale
broke shoe strings holding on to it.
Late last night common council, while
in session, received a message from
their Jermyn brethren, requesting the
loan of the city and it's suburbs, as
Jermyn was not large enough to hold
the swelled head youths from the Della
ware and Hudson branch roadside.
The request was refused, as the solons
do not care to have thin limb plague
on the new board of health's hands.
Miller was hit for ten safe ones, and
McAndrew for eleven. Miller struck
out nine men; McAndrew, five.

LOOK OUT, NOW!
High School Team on Warpath for
Foot Ball Scalps.

The Carbondale High school foot ball
team is ready for the season. The line
up is as follows: Left end, Ed. Mace:
left tackle, Clarence Becker: left
guard. Richard Wilson; centre, Gar
field Williams; right end, Jos. Conner
ton: right tackle, Silas Tucker: right
guard. Rich. Wilson; right half back,
Ed. Connerton: left half back. Harry
Robinson: quarterback and captain,
Rex Copeland; full back; Kenneth
Raynor; substitutes, Messrs. Peck and
Moore.
A glance at the lineup will disclose
the fact that it is made up of the
best material that has represented our
High school in many years.
Every man on the team has been
selected with the utmost care, and is
expected and able to play a gilt-edge
article of foot ball.
A noticeable and worthy selection for
centre is Garfield Williams. whose her.
culean proportions and expert knowl-
edge will make of him an important
factor in the success of our High
school team. His coaching will be of
great value, because of his knowledge
of the game.
