HUGHESVIILE 2
SAYRE Z
Exciting Plays Made By Both
Sides. UmpireS Were Fair.

The most exciting game OF base
ball played at the Athletic grounds
this season was witnessed by a fair
sized crowd Tuesday afternoon.
The Sayre giants came down to
cross bats with the noted Hughes
vile team. They accomplished more
than was probably anticipated, as
they were successful in sticking the
harpoon into the "beat everything'
team to the tune of to =.
Neither side made an error during
the first five innings and was the
fastest game played here this season.
The score at that time standing 20.
For the first two innings neither
side could get within touch of the
home plate. Confidence on both sides
now ran high and considerable
money was said to have been bet on
the game. The "fans" were also
getting their share of the excite
ment and the women took fanatical
interest as we'll. Old men cheered
Justify and the young peanut venders
lost track of themselves and were
strictly "Gff the job" AT the 9TH in
ming a bad throw to first base by the
Hughesville pitcher gave Sayre a
comfortable lead and hypnotised the
whole Hughesville team. They all
went to sleep in comfortable man
ner and the result was few more
scores for the Sayre Lehigh Valley
Shop boys.
The Hughesville nine doubtless
never played team quite the equal
to Sayre. Their playing was almost
faultless throughout the game, and
their manners were marked with a
stamp of genteelness and culture,
If they were to be given nickname
the Sayre team would be best identi'
fed as "Gentlemen of the Diamond. y
Were these two teams to meet
again there would doubtless be q
.reeoras-breaking crowd present t9
witness the game.

Mildred Murray Play Ball.

In an exciting game of base ball
played at Murry between the Mil
dred Athletics and the Murry Stars
the former was defeated by the close
score of o.. Battery for Midi ed,
Weed and Collins; for Murry, Ly-
mott, Lynch and F. Lynch.r Hits
off Lynott 3, Lynch 2, Weedg
Features of the game were7a great
throw over the heads of the crowd
by Collins of Mildred and. clever
base work by p. p. Murry at second.
The Mildred sports left little of
their money in Murry.
The following is dispatch from
Muncy:
After years of agitation and effort
on the part of Muncy's business
men, this place stands chance of
becoming the terminal of the Will
Transport and North Branch Rail
road, a connecting line between the
Reading and Lehigh Valley system.
This prediction was made by S. d.
Townsend, of Hughesville, general
manager of the Williamsport and
North Branch line He thought
that the plan would be possible
| within year.
At present the road strikes the
Reading four miles north of Muncv,
at Hall's Station. 1t is Il junction
and offers no business to the Will.
Transport and North Branch. Ac-
cording to the proposed change OF
route, the Williamsport and North
Branch would turn toward Muncy
at Lime Bluff, several miles east OF
Halls Station.
For two reasons, Muncy would be
advantageous as a terminal, it is
argued. First, it would open the
way for Williamsport and North
Branch extention to Montgomery,
six miles south of here, where the
line could tap the Pennsylvania
North Central division. Already
the Williamsport and North Branch
owns the right of way to Mont
gOmery along the old canal bed, that
follows the Susquehanna river.

Quick Road Work.

Bright and early one morning twen-
ty-two farmers living south of Tren-
ton, n. j.. undertook the task of put
ting a quarter mile stretch of road in
a passable condition. 1t was as de-
termined set of men as ever assem-
bled for purpose. Every man was
a volunteer and gave his service free
ly. Their work was admirably ac-
complished. and road that was
fraught with danger for travellers was
in a single day transformed into one
that may now be used for heavy dray-
age as well as for pleasure. The num-
Der of loads of cinders hauled during
the day by the farmers amounted to
over 200.

Richard Kelley, prominent
farmer of Beech Flats, near Canton,
was terribly injured a few days ago
by being hit with binding pole
while hauling lumber down the

and fixed one of the poles and was
in the act of fixing the other, when
the first one broke loose, striking
him across the head and cutting a
frightful cash and destroying the
sight of one eye.

Here's One On Lap0rte

Hundreds of bushels of black
berries are going to waste in Sui
livan County in the vicinity of La
Porte, because bears are so numer-
Gus that the women and children are
afraid to go berrying. The bear
scare was intensified few days ago
by the experience of two LaPorte
women and several children who had
gone into the woods on berry eX-
peditiop. This crowd was confront
ed by big bear that showed no
inclination to be disturbed in his
own berrypicking; in fact he dis.
played so much pugnaciousness that
the women ana children fled in ter
ror. or.-Exchange.
If these bear stories are true, it
must be that the people of Laporte
have just awakened from Rip
Van Winkle sleep and likez-Ala
Van have not yet learned about
the bears that are such a terror to
the neighborhooa.

CARNIVAL.
Laporte Enjoys It's Annual Roat
Exhibition.


The carnival Oh Lake Mokoma
which took place Saturday evening
was glorious success and the spec
tacular array of illumination was
witnessed by hundreds of people on
the shore of the lake with unabat-
ing interest.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
small prize was to be awarded, it
was plainly manifested that the de-
sire for possession of this honor had
crept into the hearts of all contest
ants and expense and labor were
features that had no consideration
with the preparation of this lumi-
nous affair. The result was simply
gorgeous. Besides the thirty odd
boats contesting for honOrs there
were many other prettily decorated
boats which added to the charming
scene.
With but few exceptions the
boats were all profusely Illuminated
with Japanese lanterns that shone
like miraculous mirrors reflecting
tongues of light into the waters sur
face like quivers of golden arrows.
The prize was awarded to Mr.. J.
A. Muller, of Philadelphia, whose
boat was particularly brilliant.
The Commercial Hotel float was
a representation of log cabin filled
with jolly party of musicians pro-
vided with stringed instruments.
This float, with the one exception
its lack of illumination, surpassed all
the others i'm every feature and was
thought by a majority of spectators
