BY WILLIAM S. DALLAS

THE Perkasie team hns added another
L to its list Of victories in the Mont.
comerv County Baseball League, maxi
ing six successive victories, and Dick
Smith and his gang Of regular hall play
ers loom larger than ever as champions
of the Pike circuit for the season of
1902
The chase is going to be tough
on. even though Porknsic has a COM
manding lead at this stage of the race.
COnshOhocken is starting to be heard
from. and jim Bonner will gradually
get good club together at Amber.
while Lansdale has already started
campaign TO retain its championship.
All of which means that the ball
players are due to profit immensely and
some fancy salaries are going to be
paid. Six teams want the champion
ship and are not afraid TO spend money
TO gain the title. Baseball is n sport
with them, If not with the players. and
they are not in the game for the
money the team can draw nt the gate.
