■Otae prominent members of this order

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,

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:

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

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.
