Landlith Disputed Umpires
Decision and Left the
Field

There was a warm contest at South
Side Park ON Saturday between xviii
mdngton and Landiith and the game
ended i'm "a now in the ninth enning.
The score at the time was 4 TO 3 in
favor Of X-Wilmington. Landlith
questioned a dociaion made by Umpire
MoCurdy and loft the field and conse-
quently the game was given to X-Wil-
nington by the score OF to 0.
Both teams had a large following
and there was considerable excitement.
when Landlith went in to bat in the
ninth, Ferguson who was the first up.

e1cr. and Stibe. who batted for Henry,
Tanned. but Landlith claimed that Um-
phe McCurdy oaMed four balls and
consequently waved the man ON second
to tfird. The runner WAS thrown out
at third. and this caused the trouble

Wild Goats kin vipors.

Though vipers are very abundant in
many parts Of both England and Scotland
there is no such general feeling against
them as causing injury to focks as is cur
rent in the Swiss mountains. Doubtless
they are there very mischiovous to lambs
and kids.
In England no shepherd ever reckons
the viper as among his natural enemies,
except on the Cheviot Hills. on those
green mountains. swarming with sheep
the injury debited to the vipers has led
to the survival of a very ancient race Of
quite wild goats. These goats, correctly
or not are believed to kill numbers Of
vipers. and consequently no farmer ever
kills one, or sees one shot, as Is OCCASION
ally done, without regret.
No one knows how long these goats
have continued to exist as privileged ami
mails, owing to their reputed usefulness,
but as the keeping of sheep became pos
sible on the border after the union Of Eng
land and Scotland had made property
safe, the breed may have an antiquity Of
nearly three centuries.

G0ATESVILLE DROPS
OUT OF TRI-STATE
Club Claims Umpires Dascrim-
mated Against 1t and
. Disbanded

Coatesvillc, Pa, August AT meet
ing Of directors of the Coatesvine Athletic
Association held Saturday night it was
decided to disband. This conclusion was
reached because Of the. alleged treatment
the club received whilo on their Western
trip. They claim that the two extra-in-
ming games at wnliainsport the umpire
robbed them Of the contests. Even though
the locals were known as the baby team.
,he directors objected TO continuing the
season with a loss of several thousand
dollars, besides getting the worst of the
deals Manager Stoler was in communion
ton with President Creamer yesterday.
The Tri-State League may keep the
Coatesville team In the league, but all
games will be played away from home.
West Chester, Trenton. N. j., and Read
ing are favorably mentioned to take
coatesville's place All the players were
paid Off in full today.
The news of the team disbamding came
as a big surprise to the townspeople, be-
cause they had clamored to spend money
nc the baseball fair held here friday and
Saturday nights, which proceeds, We're for
the benefit of the local association. Nearly
$1,000 was realized by the event.
If the team does not remain in the
league Zimmerman will go to Toronto
Jackson and Smith to Detroit slattery to
Milwaukee. Reisling to Harrisburg. Com
nors to Columbus, Griffin to Baltimore,
Alamang to, Cincinnati. All the other
players also have positions. The disband-
ing Of Coatesville places the Trl-State As
sociation in an ugly position Lancaster

games. by quitting Coatesville forfeits
$500 to the association.

That's wrong.
Faint spells are often accompanied by
biliousness. but you will also notice short
ness of breath, asthmatic breathing, op-
pressed feeling i'm chest. weak or hungry
spells, which are all early symptoms OF
heart weakness.

Social Wealth and It's Right Use.
