MORNING GAME.


The morning game ON Labor day be-
tween Danville and Nescopeck furnish
ed one of the most exciting contests of
the season-a one run game which
DanvilIe won in the eighth when Llv-
engood's mighty swat sent nice new
white ball over the right field fence
and brought Hess romping over the
pan.
There were frequent moments, from
the time when Coyeleskie served up
his first sizzler until Center Fielder
Lawrence made the 27th out for Nesco-
peck on fly to Liyeugood, leaving
two anxious Nescopeck runners on
base. when the large crowd was brought
to its feet to yell itself hoarse.
The honors of the game are divided
bv Coveleskie and Livengood. The
Premier Pole had his curves breaking
lust to suit him. He duplicated his
record of Saturday by striking ont IL
batsmen. Seven hits he allowed them,
but their bingoes We're so scattered
that the visitors We're unable to make
any of them good for tally, although
ON two occasions Nescopeck runners
got as far as third but their life ON
the third station was only long enough
to enliven the performance and not to
spoil the chances of Danville's single
tally winning the game.
Opposed to Coveleskie was the re-
doubtable Ross Shipe, he of the 2l3
strike outs in II games. He pitched Il
good game, too, although he didn t
fatten his tanning record off the Dan
Vile batsmen to any appreciable ex-
tent. Six succumbed to his wiles, and
of these five were i'll succession, start
ing with the last man in the fourth
i and lasting through the fifth and in
cluding the first man in the sixth. His
| other strike out was the last man in
the eighth after Danville had made her
winning run. During the other parts

peck twirler freely, but mostly in
places where they were safely gather.

ORDINANCE REFUSED.

Mr.. Marshall moved that franchise
be granted to the Peoples Ideal Tele-
phone Co. Mr.. Deutsch seconded the
motion. The matter was discussed at
length but the motion was lost.
On motion it was ordered that the
several fire companies of the borough
be paid their double quarterly allow
ance of seyenty-fiv dollars.
Mr.. Pursel moved that the communi-
cation from Engineer White of the d.
L. and w. Railroad company relative
to the pollution of the canal by the
borough be accepted and time be fix
ed for a conference between the eng
ineer and the sewer committee of coun-
ell. The motion opened way for
long discussion III which all the old
familiar arguments We're thrashed over
again. The view that generally pre-
vailed was that if the canal is pollut-
ed within the borough limits it is done
without permission of the borough and
that the ID. L. and W. Railroad Co.
as Jlle owner OI Illc Cdlldl is res SpOflSl-
BILE for whatever nuisance is caused.
1t was the sense of the members that
this view of the matter should be pre-
sented to the ID. J.. and W. Railroad
company by the sewer committee in
case "A conference be arranged with

AFTERNOON GAME.

The afternoon game was easier to
take, but caused not whit less Joy in
the hearts of the crowd that overflow
ed grand stand and bleachers. Danville
put the game i'll the refrigerator in the
first innings, by tallying four times
and sending two pitchers to the tall
timbers. As it turned out Danville' S
scoring in the first was enough to win
and then some.
Peck Rowe was ON the mound for
Danville and pitched superb game
A little wild at first, he soon settled
down and served up the twisters in a
style that had the Nescopeck stickers
so mystified that not once during the
contest We're they able to ring up "A
safety. Eight strike outs and no bases
on balls was his record.
Now listen to this. But three Nesco-
peck runners reached first base; two
by being hit by pitched ball and one
on an error. Not visiting runner got
near enough to see second base with "A

FOUR IN THE FIRST.

NcScopeck opened the game with
"Pinkie' Fowler, the newlywed. in
the box. and the way Danville landed
on him was enough to make his bride
shed tears. Hess selected one that he
sent down by third base, and then
went to third on Livengood'S sacrifice
Umlauf reached first ON Pitcher Fow-
ler's error. Hess scoring. Umlauf stole
second, while Coveleskie flied ont to
right field Umlauf making third on
the throw. Mackert put the quietus ON
Fowler's pitching aspirations by driv-
ing a home run over the left field
fence. At this point Short Stop Lavel-
le, another new made husband, was
put in the box. Dooley hit him for
two bases and Stock did the same,
scoring Dooley. Metzler went out on a
grounder to second.
In the second innings Manager
Splain was compelled to call upon
Ross Shipe to rescue his demoralized
team. And despite his hard game of
the morning the nervy little pitcher
went in and held Danville down to
three hits and one run during the re-
mainder of the game.
Danville's fifth run came in the
fourth innings Doc. Stock who was
first up tapped the sphere into center
field for one that looked like two

III You BUY HENS-

The question which worries one
most when starting with poultry, is
which kinds OF hens TO buy. The
breed is often not 80 much to con.
slider as the kind OF hens. We do not
know how TO select the good hens,
those that viii lay. and for this rea
son we buy hens and feed them
throughout the winter and get no
eggs.
IL Is very important that We know
the kind OF hens to solect-the kind
which will be healthy and lay during
the winter months. OF course, there
Is no way 10 tell how this may be
done, but the trained eye can see at
a glance Just which hens we should
select
The practical farmer can tell IN.
stsntly which ear Of corn will make
the best seed, or which horse or COW
VIII make the best 20 breed from. and
the poultryman can tell YOU at a

buy Tor eggs. II YOU select the right
kind OF hens and give them the right
kind OF treatment there should be no
reason why YOU should not have eggs

II Is sometimes perplexing 10 figure

years Of experience we should advise
the grain, just a small portion early

food OF cooked vegetables and scraps,
with more grain during the day aud
afternoon. If hens get a full feed
early in the day, they soon become
lazy and will not hustle, therefore We
should try 10 keep them busy. The

should be made 10 keep the hens hun.
