SPORTING NOTES.

Have you awakened to the fact
that the Honesdale base ball team is
playing good ball? White Mills has
the best team this year that we ever
knew them to have (and that's 60
ing some) but they were not as
good as the locals on Saturday. 1t
was the best played game seen here
this year; the locals again showing
the effects of the coaching of Captain
King Brader, while the playing
of the White Mills boys was, as
usual, very good, although Tuman
failed to show any of his state league
form. Taken as whole that White
Mills bunch are a gentlemanly lot
of fellows as we'll as being good ball
players, and we are always glad to
see them scheduled to play on our
lot. White Mills defeated Hawley
in three straight games, which
shows that the locals were playing
good ball, especially as White Mills
had their star slabman Loll in the
box, who let Hawley down with four
hits on one or two occasions; but
either he had an off day or the
crowd got his goat Che is a youngs-
teri or King Braders little boys had
their batting eyes open, for they got
nine hits and got them Just when
they were needed. "Mathewson"
Hessling pitched his usual "heady"
game, being like the wonderful
Christy at letting the other fellows
hit, except when hits are needed, or
forcing them to pop" to the field

Brader's work at shortstop and at
the bat again featured the home
teams work, having eight chances in
the field without an error. "Duffer
Weaver, by the way, is playing as
nice a game on the initial sack as we
have seen played here in many a
day.
Ed. Isbell of Seelyville, umpired
the game, and the White Mills boys
questioned some of his decisions, but
while he did make some mistakes,
one side seemed to suffer as much
as the other, and on the whole his
work was good.
Right here we would like to call
the Hawley Times Sporting Editors
attention to the fact that the game
| passed off very peacefully, nc
| 'hirlings" of the ball team crowded
the base lines or caused any trouble
whatever, and we would also like tC
say that we could get along just as
good with the Hawley team as the
players are also a nice lot of young
fellows and get along just as gooc
with our boys If it were not for the
outsiders who come looking fol
trouble, If it were not for the fac
that the majority of those outsiders
cannot see anything but the Hawley
side of the game, and forget al
about the stones thrown by Hawle!

boys minds" when visitors are play
