With both Danville and Nanticoke
winning in Saturdays game the race
cor the leadership in the Susquehsnna
/ league remains unchanged. Nantiooke
is tbreesgames TO thesgood at present
reading. On August IA Danville plays
Nsnticoke in this city. and should the
/ locals take that game Nanticoke would
be but one game ahead. Danyille has
at least two games TO play OF, with
Shickshinny sndsAlden, both Of which
should be victories. DanviIle : sohe-

After that he allowed them to hit ex-

he would hold them down to inefectu-

at his mercy.
For Alden Smith and Gorham alter
