make up the Greater Scranton, knew
what 1t was to hit Fleming as he i'm
agined he could when the Archibald
knight of the spheroid doubled up in
the first inning, parted with some of
the essence of-Battle-ax, the biggest
chunk for cents, and sailed a ball over
the plate that was as noisy as the
swishing of the tail of a Kansas cy-
clone. Before couple of innings
passed Johnnie Gordon and his laddies
were asking what time the next train
left for Scranton.
Six of the first twelve men that came
up were struck out, then Sir Richard
eased up bit, after he got a line on
Gordon's crowd of ping-pongers, and
they made few cuts. They got six in
all and Johnnie Gordon Gordon of the
noisy purple and white stockings, got
two of these himself. One was a
"peach," a two-bagger than was good
and clean. Seven men in all famed.
In front of Sir Richard was Lotus,
like the Rock of Gibraltar, when the
hot ones were sailed into him, and as
agile as cat, when it was necessary
to throw one of Johnnie Gordon's men
out at second, third or any old base
HIS playing was gilt-edge, and though
he hit the ball only once. it was be-
cause Gordons pitcher struck him
twice with the ball. One was a ter
rble rap on the side of the head that
would have put a less plucky player
out of business for the day.
While "our pets put up a good field
ing game, it was their batting that was
the feature of the contest. Murray
batted, Monahan hit, Cuff slugged. EN-
NETT also smashed, Monahan, all Of
them got credit, for hit, more or less.
Murray and Cuff had the honors for
batting, each having three hits. Four
teen hits in all were gotten from Man.
gan of Gordon's team.
The team work of the Scranton, ETC.,
team was of the Sweitzer-cheese va
riety, chock full of holes. 1t would be
sort of rubbing it in to dilate upon it,
so We'll mercifully pass it by.
Four runs were gotten in the first
inning on hits by Murray and Hart,
two bases on balls, hit by pitcher and
an error.
In the third three more We're added
by hit by Cuff, another by Roessler,
a dead hit by Lotus and an error.
base on balls, and three singles by Mon
ahan, Cuff and Emmett brought two
more. One more was added in the
fifth, three in the sixth on singles by
Murray and Monahan, a dead ball and
a base on balls. The last two came in
the seventh when Murray and Roessler
singled and a few errors We're made by
the Gordonites.
The Gordonites made one in the Sec
ond on singles by Centre-fielder Man
gan Connery. A single by Harmon in
the sixth aided by an error by Gal
lagher let in another run, and in the
ninth errors by Murray and Gallagher
let in another run, the last of the game.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING
And Exercise Solves the Problem.

DIR. IL. l.. Warner, in recent issue
of the New York World, says:
"Only small percentage of the
American people have perfect diges-
tion and assimilation of food and the
elimination of the waste matters of the
body. In the matter of food and eXer-
else. the whole problem of health is
contained. BY making these right, we
can create perfect health.

GOING TO PHILADELPHIA.
Joseph Gilhool Secures Place with
the Correspondence Schools.

Joseph Gllhool one of the towns best
known young men, has accepted a posi-
tion with the International Correspond
ence schools in its field force and will
leave in short time to take up the
work.
Mr.. Gilhoors location will be in
Philadelphia, which is perhaps the hest
field for this work at the present. The
opportunities are so good there that the
schools officers have transferred to
that district Captain Thomas Murphy
who left the Carbondale district this
week, and John Brown, OF this city
who has been supervisor in this sec
tion. Mr.. Gilhool is, therefore, quite
fortunate in being assigned a place in
the Philadelphia district. He is the son
of j. B. Gilhool, the hardware mer-
chant, and has had business train
ing in his fathers store that will serve
him well in his new work.

gentle influence of the warm sunshine
after the continued rain, the big circu-

blooming picture of beauty. The whole

The policemen took Smith across the

the policemen suggested that as Smith was
feeling so bad it would be better they go

Although it was believed at the time that
the fight for colors at the Shortridge-M. T.
H. s. baseball game Monday afternoon
would be overlooked and forgotten by the
faculties Of both schools and only consid-
cred an incident of the game such is not
the case. The principals of both the Man
ual Training and Shortridge High Schools
are very much opposed to the scraps which
have come to be a part of all contests i'm
which these two schools meet. They do
not object TO their students defending or
even fighting for the colors Of the institu-
ton, but Professors Emmerich and HUFF
ford object TO the grabbing of a banner
and thus causing a fight.
The last combat between the high schools
at Washington Park was one of the fiercest
ever waged and probably caused more
black eyes and bloody noses than any one
previous The faculties realize that this
cannot continue. and il is said that the
students of both schools will be warned not
to start anything" at the State field meet

BLOOMINGTON. Ind, May pa boiler
explosion in sawmill at Mahalasville.
Morgan county. at S o'clock this morning,
resulted in the death of Watson J. Perci-
field and serious injuries to four other men.
The mill was running and II is supposed
that Perciheld. who was firing the engine,
had let the water get too low in the boiler.
which caused the explosion.
Percifield was standing near the boiler
and was hurled several feet Both legs
were blown off and his body was mangled
beyond recognition, parts Of it being scat
tered in all directions.
The four men injured are Ed Townsend,
Roy Lemon. Harry Lowry and William
Wilcox. Wilcox is very dangerously in
jured and probably will die. Townsend
and Lemons are seriously hurt. but may
recover. Lowry is only slightly injured.
Watson Percified was about forty years
old and leaves a widow and four children.
He was a brother OF Anderson Percifeld,
OF Nashville. Another Of the Lemon boys
was in the mill at the time, but escaped
without injury. The mill shed was almost
demolished by the explosion. Mr.. Wilcox
formerly lived here. He was the owner Of
the mill.
