Flori-da, :i former resident of this borough, has been spending a six weeks' vaca-tion here He preached In the Metho-dist Church on Sunday morning and Has {rooted by a large number of his former meoclatea, lie left for home to-day.

In an endeavor to organize a ladies' branch of the Red Men, known as the Red Ladies, a meeting will be held In the lodge room of the Red Men In Tra-cy's Building on Elm street on Wed-nesday evening. There will be present ■Otae prominent members of this order from Philadelphia who will give a dis-course on the subject and a general In-vitation is extended to the public of this borough. It is a subject of much interest and will prove of as much benefit to the men as the ladies and it is Imped that there will be a large turn-out. The meeting will start at about 8.16 p. in. It is said that a cigar making Indus-try will soon be established In this bor-ough. The Alan Wood Company, own-ers of the large mill on Poplar street, which was recently occupied by the H. C. Jones Co. Is making an addition to smoke-stack. It was cracked for a con-siderable distance and this is being torn down until a safer portion, when ten feet will lie added to the remain-ing part. If the reports turn out to be true It will be a great thing for Con-shohocken. There are a great many girls and young ladies who could se-cure first-class positions and thus It would be a big addition to the Indus-tries of this borough. While a number of boys were play-ing marbles at the corner of Eighth avenue and Fayette street, last night, Samuel Davis, of Ninth avenue, had his shoulder blade broken by being run over by a two horse rubber tire carriage, which was occupied by two men The boy with a number of oth-er hoys was playing In the middle of the streets when the team came dash-ing up the street at a very fast pace. Some of the boys shouted to Davis and some others who were stooping around the ring but they werer unable to get Out of the wny. It Is quite apparent that the men did not try to prevent The Literary Society will meet at Henzs Parlors on Thursday evening.

It was only a, trille and he did not mind it long. On Sunday the hand had swollen and pain-ed him greatly. He had it dressed by a physician, who found that he wap threatened with blood poisoning. A number of the storekeepers on Fayette street are greatly worried over the reported establishment of an Ital-ian department store and hotel on Fay-ette street near First avenue. It Is said that the lease of the marble yard has been made by William Sullivan of Norristown to an Italian syndicate. Mr. Sullivan's lease from Miss Eliza- Iwth McNamee of the ground called fur five years; six months of this time has expired, and It is Bald that be has sub-leased the ground for the four years and six months of his unexplred time.

Harry Messinger wus awakened from his warm bed last Friday night about eleven o'clock by a stranger from Hryn Mawr, who wanted gasolene for his automobile. The machine was standing near the canal bridge, and it contained two ladies and a gentleman. The gasolene was supplied, but it was found there was something wrong with the machinery. The ladles were made comfortable by Mr. Messinger In his office, while the men tinkered with the machine. After two hours of hrtrtl work they decided to get a team from Liveryman Moore and drive to their home in Hryn Mawr. This wap done, and on Saturday morning an expert auto machinist cume over from Dryn Mawr and fixed the break. Christopher Kelly, the sixteen year old son of John Kelly, of Maple street, was caught by Special Officer Harrold on Sunday morning, about half-past two o'clock, trying to break Into Stew-art *.

He was taken to the station house and searched. In his pocket was found a knife with a broken blade. The windows of the store were examined and It was found that the broken portion of the blade was between the window and sill.

Subecrtoe for the KECORDBR Before an enthusiastic assemblage of over a thousand persons the local foot ball season was auspiciously opened on Saturday afternoon by a glorious victory over the Bethlehem team. All day the sky was heavy and the weather was very threatening but It did not dampen the ardor of the lovers of the game and the loyal rooters. Long before the game started there was a continual rush for admission to the grounds and by the time for the game to start both sides of the field were lin-ed. The local team had for their oppon-ents the crack Bethlehem team from Bethlehem, Pa., and although the game was a victory for the home team, it came only by the hardest kind of foot ball playing and by I small score. The visitors arrived in the borough about twelve o'clock and went im-mediately to the local club's rooms nt the Central Hotel where dinner wns served. As soon as their arrival be-came known crowds began to flock to the corner of Hector and Fayette streets and for a while a person unac-quainted with the location of the park would think that the game was to be played In the street. There had lieen much said as to the ability of the 'Bethlehemltes as foot ball players and It la now generally conceded to be pretty much the troth, especially in reference as to their strength, and many a sigh was heard when Conshohocken would hit their line for little or no gain and again when their own line was smashed for gains of from three to six ya^ds at a time. Bethlehem won the toss and chose the east goal .It was about 3.20 o'- clock when Burgess Ulrlck walked to the centre of the field and placed the ball In position and welcomed the vis-itors who responded with their "cry." Hourk kicked off and the hall wns downed on the 45-ynrd line. By hard consistent line bucking the visitors rushed the bull to the centre of the field where the home team secured it on a fumble, but they had It In their possession only for a short while as they were unable to gain the neccssary number of yards on the four downs and were compelled to return It to the visitors. After gaining 20 yards by line bucking nnd n neat run of 10 ynrds hy Mullen, the iocnls ngain got pos-session of the ball on a fumble. Hut despite their united effort they could not reach the coveted goal and the half ended with the ball on Consho-hocken's 20-yard line. In this half the visitors had the better of the argu-ment. They had possession of the ball most of the time nnd kept it in Con-shohocken's territory. In the second half a change was made in the line-up. Hlggins. who arrived late, went to centre, Ramsey taking Hannnn's place at guard, the latter retiring from the game. Bannan. for Bethlehem, kicked off and the ball was downed on the 35- yard line. Line plunging and end runs hy Houck and Rnmbo advanced the ball to the 25-yard line where Beth-lehem held the locals for downs and secured the ball. The visitors began gaining ground rapidly and things looked blue for any score but fortun-ately Conshohocken secured the ball at the centre of the field. They hit the Bethlehem line twice with little gain and Houck bobbed Into prominence with a beautiful punt to the visitor's 1-yard line. The ball waa advanced four yards when Black made a sen-sational tackle. The ball was rushed to the 15-yard line when Conshohock-en gained possession of It on downs. Here a decided brace was taken. Ram-bo hit the line for 5 yards and on a trick play Hoffman shot around the right end like a greased arrow and carried the pig skin over the line for the first touchdown of the season. Eight minutes of actual playing in the second half had elapsed when the touchdown was made. This was the end of the scoring, although the lo-cals played the better ball during the rest of the contest. The features of the game was the magnificent work of Ilnnnan and the playing of Sheehan and Talbot for nethlehem. All of the local team played a great game and it would be Injustice to give credit to any single player. Coach Hoffman has the mak-ing of a great team and Judging from the game on Saturday, he will develop the strongest team thr.' ever represent-ed Conshohocken. The line-up: Conshohocken, Pos. Bethlehem. Shaw left end Uowe Fager left tackle Kennedy Hannnn left guard Mellon Ramsey. Ramsey centie Smith Hlggins. Black right guard.. Cunningham Cohee right tackle Burns Neville right end Talbot Custer quarter-back Sheohun Hoffman L. half-back Bellue Rnmbo R. Half-hack... Dougherty Houck Full-hack Batman Touchdowns—Hoffman. Referee— Gorman. Umpire—Irvin. Linesmen— Iluzzard, nurns. Timers—Ramho. Mal-ley. Time—20 minute halves. The crowd swarmed on the field af-ter Hoffman made his touchdown. Captain Powers, of inst year's Villa Nova team wns present, but did not participate In the gnmo. Cohee, of last yeur's Rlverton team, played at tackle throughout the entire game and did credit to himself. llaivoy Shaw played a great game at end. lie was everywhere and uny-where and did brilliant tackling. Fager. the old Royersford player, played a strong game at tackle and worked haul for the success of the lo-cal team. Kumbo bus lost none of his old-time speed and the way he broke Into the game inspired the large number of en-thusiasts present. Hannan played In only one half but his work was gill-edged. Some of his tackles were of the hair raising order. He formerly played with Mechanics-burg Seminary. I human, the giant full-back of the Bethlehem team, Is one of the greatest players ever seen here. As a star he shone with brilliancy, being In every play executed. He alone is more than one-third of the Bethlehemltes. The management of the U. of P. de-sire neutral officials for their game here on Saturday. Several college men have been written to and the names of those chosen will be published with the line-up in Friday's issue. Black was In the game with both feet. His playing on Saturday beat anything that he has yet come up to; his line bucking being of the first or-der while bis tackling was phenome-nal. Just before the game started Custer, who has always been looked to by many as the greatest little quarter-back in the business, was presented with a handsome bouquet of chrysan-t lieu in ns. It was a gift from his fel-low workmen. Houck was a big benefactor in the result of the game. He hit the line with telling effect while his kicking caused everybody much surprise. He did not do very much In this line but what little he did do was right up to the mark. Hlggins was late in arriving and I'.amsey played centre Into the first half. "Teddy" got down to business in Un second round and played a great game. Ramsey went to his old pos-ition at guard in the last half and there was an improvement all around. Neville's Increased weight only tends to naka him more firm In his playing He Is feared by all who have ever played against him on account of his "butting" qualities. He Is the only man in the business who uses his head as a battering ram—but he works it successfully. Shaw did not have time to play on Saturday. He Inaugurated his opening of a lunch bar and he did a rousing business. Two assistants could not pass out his goods fast enough to sat-isfy the appetite of the spectators and by the time the first half ended ulmost his whole stock was spun out. The Philadelphia Ledger this morn-ing printed the following in regard to the teams of the University of Penn-sylvania. The so-called Scrub team plays here on Saturday: Judging from the ability of the two teams to advance the ball, the one des-ignated the Varsity did not deserve the title any more than the one termed th scrub. The latter made a touchdown on a fine end run soon after the prac-tice began, and for a long time that was the sole scoring done. The Varsi-ty seemed unable to advance the ball either by line plunging or end running ns the scrub put up a strong defence. Toward the latter part of the practice the Varsity made a touchdown.

SPORTING NOTES The Keystone Base Ball club cros* i bats with the Spring Mill club on i e latter's ground on Saturday and 08- feated them by the score of 12 to 1J, and thereby claims the championship of Conshohocken and Spring Mill. The features of the game was the pitching of McCarter for the Koystone Club ho striking out 12 men and the batting of Wllllahn McFarland for the Spring Mill club, he striking out In the ninth inning with three men on bases and two out. The announcement of tho selling of the five players of the St. James cham-pion t.urn, of the Interstate l-eiigue, by P. F. Loy to Frank Morgenweck, the new magnate of the National League, promises to cause trouble between the two leagues. As there Is a disagree-ment in the Interstate League as to the ownership of the St. James fran-chise, and which the Interstate League has not settled yet, Mr. Loy bad no right to sell these players. If the In-terstate League decides that Messrs. Carney and Leary own the St. James franchise, the board of arbitration will no doubt decide that these players must play for SL James. Under the rules laid down by the board of arbi-tration, when a team disbands, dis-rupts or becomes stranded the players thereof belong to the league of which said team Is or was a member.

Mr. Iiutlll notices a number of changes since his last visit here eight ago, The trolley cars, arc lights, the opening of a number of streets. am) the buildings on upper Fayette street, made It another town to him. In an endeavor to organize a ladies' branch of the Red Men, known as the Red Ladies, a meeting will be held In the lodge room of the Red Men In Tra-cy's Building on Elm street on Wed-nesday evening. There will be present ■Otae prominent members of this order from Philadelphia who will give a dis-course on the subject and a general In-vitation is extended to the public of this borough. It is a subject of much interest and will prove of as much benefit to the men as the ladies and it is Imped that there will be a large turn-out. The meeting will start at about 8.16 p. in. It is said that a cigar making Indus-try will soon be established In this bor-ough. The Alan Wood Company, own-ers of the large mill on Poplar street, which was recently occupied by the H. C. Jones Co. Is making an addition to smoke-stack. It was cracked for a con-siderable distance and this is being torn down until a safer portion, when ten feet will lie added to the remain-ing part. If the reports turn out to be true It will be a great thing for Con-shohocken. There are a great many girls and young ladies who could se-cure first-class positions and thus It would be a big addition to the Indus-tries of this borough. While a number of boys were play-ing marbles at the corner of Eighth avenue and Fayette street, last night, Samuel Davis, of Ninth avenue, had his shoulder blade broken by being run over by a two horse rubber tire carriage, which was occupied by two men The boy with a number of oth-er hoys was playing In the middle of the streets when the team came dash-ing up the street at a very fast pace. Some of the boys shouted to Davis and some others who were stooping around the ring but they werer unable to get Out of the wny. It Is quite apparent that the men did not try to prevent The Literary Society will meet at Henzs Parlors on Thursday evening.

It was only a, trille and he did not mind it long. On Sunday the hand had swollen and pain-ed him greatly. He had it dressed by a physician, who found that he wap threatened with blood poisoning. A number of the storekeepers on Fayette street are greatly worried over the reported establishment of an Ital-ian department store and hotel on Fay-ette street near First avenue. It Is said that the lease of the marble yard has been made by William Sullivan of Norristown to an Italian syndicate. Mr. Sullivan's lease from Miss Eliza- Iwth McNamee of the ground called fur five years; six months of this time has expired, and It is Bald that be has sub-leased the ground for the four years and six months of his unexplred time. The Italians intend to open a store that will have groceries and a little of everything for sale, and In ad-dition there will be a number of board-ers kept on the premises. Harry Messinger wus awakened from his warm bed last Friday night about eleven o'clock by a stranger from Hryn Mawr, who wanted gasolene for his automobile. The machine was standing near the canal bridge, and it contained two ladies and a gentleman. The gasolene was supplied, but it was found there was something wrong with the machinery. The ladles were made comfortable by Mr. Messinger In his office, while the men tinkered with the machine. After two hours of hrtrtl work they decided to get a team from Liveryman Moore and drive to their home in Hryn Mawr. This wap done, and on Saturday morning an expert auto machinist cume over from Dryn Mawr and fixed the break. Christopher Kelly, the sixteen year old son of John Kelly, of Maple street, was caught by Special Officer Harrold on Sunday morning, about half-past two o'clock, trying to break Into Stew-art *. Forst's store. While Harrold was making his rounds, he found the gate nt the rear of the store yard was open. He went Inside the yard and found Kelly crouched in a cellar win-dow of the store. He was taken to the station house and searched. In his pocket was found a knife with a broken blade. The windows of the store were examined and It was found that the broken portion of the blade was between the window and sill. He wns given a hearing by Magistrate I leywood and was held under $500 ball for his appearance at Court. The 200 mile young bird race of the Radnor district was flown yesterday from Orange. Va.

Subecrtoe for the KECORDBR Before an enthusiastic assemblage of over a thousand persons the local foot ball season was auspiciously opened on Saturday afternoon by a glorious victory over the Bethlehem team. All day the sky was heavy and the weather was very threatening but It did not dampen the ardor of the lovers of the game and the loyal rooters. Long before the game started there was a continual rush for admission to the grounds and by the time for the game to start both sides of the field were lin-ed. The local team had for their oppon-ents the crack Bethlehem team from Bethlehem, Pa., and although the game was a victory for the home team, it came only by the hardest kind of foot ball playing and by I small score. The visitors arrived in the borough about twelve o'clock and went im-mediately to the local club's rooms nt the Central Hotel where dinner wns served. As soon as their arrival be-came known crowds began to flock to the corner of Hector and Fayette streets and for a while a person unac-quainted with the location of the park would think that the game was to be played In the street. There had lieen much said as to the ability of the 'Bethlehemltes as foot ball players and It la now generally conceded to be pretty much the troth, especially in reference as to their strength, and many a sigh was heard when Conshohocken would hit their line for little or no gain and again when their own line was smashed for gains of from three to six ya^ds at a time. Bethlehem won the toss and chose the east goal .It was about 3.20 o'- clock when Burgess Ulrlck walked to the centre of the field and placed the ball In position and welcomed the vis-itors who responded with their "cry." Hourk kicked off and the hall wns downed on the 45-ynrd line. By hard consistent line bucking the visitors rushed the bull to the centre of the field where the home team secured it on a fumble, but they had It In their possession only for a short while as they were unable to gain the neccssary number of yards on the four downs and were compelled to return It to the visitors. After gaining 20 yards by line bucking nnd n neat run of 10 ynrds hy Mullen, the iocnls ngain got pos-session of the ball on a fumble. Hut despite their united effort they could not reach the coveted goal and the half ended with the ball on Consho-hocken's 20-yard line. In this half the visitors had the better of the argu-ment. They had possession of the ball most of the time nnd kept it in Con-shohocken's territory. In the second half a change was made in the line-up. Hlggins. who arrived late, went to centre, Ramsey taking Hannnn's place at guard, the latter retiring from the game. Bannan. for Bethlehem, kicked off and the ball was downed on the 35- yard line. Line plunging and end runs hy Houck and Rnmbo advanced the ball to the 25-yard line where Beth-lehem held the locals for downs and secured the ball. The visitors began gaining ground rapidly and things looked blue for any score but fortun-ately Conshohocken secured the ball at the centre of the field. They hit the Bethlehem line twice with little gain and Houck bobbed Into prominence with a beautiful punt to the visitor's 1-yard line. The ball waa advanced four yards when Black made a sen-sational tackle. The ball was rushed to the 15-yard line when Conshohock-en gained possession of It on downs. Here a decided brace was taken. Ram-bo hit the line for 5 yards and on a trick play Hoffman shot around the right end like a greased arrow and carried the pig skin over the line for the first touchdown of the season. Eight minutes of actual playing in the second half had elapsed when the touchdown was made. This was the end of the scoring, although the lo-cals played the better ball during the rest of the contest. The features of the game was the magnificent work of Ilnnnan and the playing of Sheehan and Talbot for nethlehem. All of the local team played a great game and it would be Injustice to give credit to any single player. Coach Hoffman has the mak-ing of a great team and Judging from the game on Saturday, he will develop the strongest team thr.' ever represent-ed Conshohocken. The line-up: Conshohocken, Pos. Bethlehem. Shaw left end Uowe Fager left tackle Kennedy Hannnn left guard Mellon Ramsey. Ramsey centie Smith Hlggins. Black right guard..

Captain Powers, of inst year's Villa Nova team wns present, but did not participate In the gnmo. Cohee, of last yeur's Rlverton team, played at tackle throughout the entire game and did credit to himself. llaivoy Shaw played a great game at end. lie was everywhere and uny-where and did brilliant tackling. Fager. the old Royersford player, played a strong game at tackle and worked haul for the success of the lo-cal team. Kumbo bus lost none of his old-time speed and the way he broke Into the game inspired the large number of en-thusiasts present. Hannan played In only one half but his work was gill-edged. Some of his tackles were of the hair raising order. He formerly played with Mechanics-burg Seminary. I human, the giant full-back of the Bethlehem team, Is one of the greatest players ever seen here. As a star he shone with brilliancy, being In every play executed. He alone is more than one-third of the Bethlehemltes. The management of the U. of P. de-sire neutral officials for their game here on Saturday. Several college men have been written to and the names of those chosen will be published with the line-up in Friday's issue. Black was In the game with both feet. His playing on Saturday beat anything that he has yet come up to; his line bucking being of the first or-der while bis tackling was phenome-nal. Just before the game started Custer, who has always been looked to by many as the greatest little quarter-back in the business, was presented with a handsome bouquet of chrysan-t lieu in ns. It was a gift from his fel-low workmen. Houck was a big benefactor in the result of the game. He hit the line with telling effect while his kicking caused everybody much surprise. He did not do very much In this line but what little he did do was right up to the mark. Hlggins was late in arriving and I'.amsey played centre Into the first half. "Teddy" got down to business in Un second round and played a great game. Ramsey went to his old pos-ition at guard in the last half and there was an improvement all around. Neville's Increased weight only tends to naka him more firm In his playing He Is feared by all who have ever played against him on account of his "butting" qualities. He Is the only man in the business who uses his head as a battering ram—but he works it successfully. Shaw did not have time to play on Saturday. He Inaugurated his opening of a lunch bar and he did a rousing business. Two assistants could not pass out his goods fast enough to sat-isfy the appetite of the spectators and by the time the first half ended ulmost his whole stock was spun out. The Philadelphia Ledger this morn-ing printed the following in regard to the teams of the University of Penn-sylvania. The so-called Scrub team plays here on Saturday: Judging from the ability of the two teams to advance the ball, the one des-ignated the Varsity did not deserve the title any more than the one termed th scrub. The latter made a touchdown on a fine end run soon after the prac-tice began, and for a long time that was the sole scoring done. The Varsi-ty seemed unable to advance the ball either by line plunging or end running ns the scrub put up a strong defence. Toward the latter part of the practice the Varsity made a touchdown.

The announcement of tho selling of the five players of the St. James cham-pion t.urn, of the Interstate l-eiigue, by P. F. Loy to Frank Morgenweck, the new magnate of the National League, promises to cause trouble between the two leagues. As there Is a disagree-ment in the Interstate League as to the ownership of the St. James fran-chise, and which the Interstate League has not settled yet, Mr. Loy bad no right to sell these players. If the In-terstate League decides that Messrs. Carney and Leary own the St. James franchise, the board of arbitration will no doubt decide that these players must play for SL James. Under the rules laid down by the board of arbi-tration, when a team disbands, dis-rupts or becomes stranded the players thereof belong to the league of which said team Is or was a member.
