BASE BALL.
LAMBERTvILLE LOSES SECOND GAME.
The American Bridge Company Too Much
For Locals.

The inability of "Scott- Reeds" men
to solve the merry Widow" curve of
big Bill'' Middleton, slab journey
man for the American Bridge Com
pany of Trenton, added to the costly
errors of the locals, caused the defeat
of our boys on Saturday last. The
first inning began the trouble, when
MacKay erred twice and Matthews
hit two men and sent one to base on a
complimentary ticket. This resulted
in run. Again in the second Cleary
threw one, after good stop, over J.
Patterson's head that hit the weather
vane on the Delaware House in New
Hope, Pa, and Walter Everitt threw
imperfect to Matthews to catch Mid
dleton ut the plate and the second
run came in. In the fifth, four
straight clean hits brought in two
more tallies, which proved TO be the
undoing of Lambertvile.
When Butler came to the bat i'll the
first inning and smacked out dandy
single, it looked as if our boys would
win hands down, but big Bill, with
sly wink to his assistants, says
Don't worry, boys" he struck the
nail right on the head. Two hits
were all that were made off his decep-
tive delivery from thence on. Walter

Lambertville securing both. With
the score to in favor of American

thought it time to get busy, and busy
they did get. but not busy enough to
win the game. Kline, the first man
up, received base on balls. Nolan
likewise on j. Everett's smack. Sam
erred on j. Patterson's drive. He did
Patterson hit one to short aud Kline
died at the plate. Cleary flied out to
third. Walter Everett then soused
out single and Joe Patterson and
Jack Everett scored. Madam"
Matthews stepped to the plate aud in
stead of waiting like good fellow
that he is, he famed at three bad
chicks and the game was ended. 1t

Prohibition Chairman Disposes o
Various Presidential Candidates.

tional committee, is in New York on
his way to New England, where he
will visit a number of places in the
interest of his party. He said in an
lost the confidence of the Prohibition
powers of the government against
liquor. Bryan had no chance of cleo
ton to the presidency and Taft no
chance for the Republican nomina-
ton, because they are not in sympathy
with the prohibition movement. Mr.
Jones is enthusiastic over the rapid
growth of the prohibition sentiment.
He said:
I'VE have gained six prohibition
states in the last year; we had three
already. In two more years We expect
ten more, and soon afterward twelve
others. The party convention will be
held on July 5 at Columbus, o. There
will be 1,512 delegates, the apportion-
ment being based on the party vote of
1904. The New York delegates with
number 108.
THE prohibition party will make a
great showing in this campaign. Pro-
hibition is SO strong in the south that
there is even slight chance that the
Democrats will adopt prohibition
plank. If they do not no Prohibition
Democrat will support their candi-
date.

have to handle. and this city, next to
