The team from this place is composed of some husky material and they expect to give a good account of themselves, notwithstanding that they are out-weighed by the Clearfield ag- j gregatlon. On Monday afternoon the high school team will journey to Indiana for a second contest with the strong Indiana Normal eleven. Their success in holding the heavy Indiana team to no score on last Saturday has filled them with confidence and with several new formations and the strengthening of different positions on the team they fully expect to win.

Tfre annual meeting of the Punxsutawney Fishing & Hunting Club was held in Weiss's store room last night and the preliminary arangements for the opening of the Club's camp in Clearfield County, .were made. The meeting was called to order by Q. S. Reams, president of the club. Reports were made by several members who had visited the c amp recently and they were all t» the effect that not since the organization of the club have the evidences of the presence of bear and deer been so plentiful in the famous ClearfielJ County preserves, as they have been the past summer and this fall. Scout and Camp Warden James Brewer, who has been on the ground almost the entire year, has a line out for some big game and he is now dusting up a compass and getting the bearings on a number jf promising bee trees. A committee including Herman Weiss, Joseph IJaumgardner and Harry Nickes >n was appointed to secure a competent cook and arrange for the supplies for the seasjn, which will begin Nov. 15 and last for two weeks. The officers of ihe club are Q. S. Reams, president, James C. Greene, vice president, Herman Weiss, secretary and treasurer. During the meeting last night several phases of the amended hunting laws came up for discussion the, most important of which was that relating to the limit and restrictions imposed upon deer hunters. The law prescribes that where more than one deer, with horns, is shot a penalty of $100 is imposed on the offender for each violation. It was explained that the entire membership of a club is held responsible for the acts of each, but only in Instances where the club attempts.to shield the offending member. MRS.

DETROIT, Oct. 12.—In the first game of the world's series on their own field the Detroit American League team was beaten yesterday afternoon by the Chicago Nationals 6 to 1. It was a well deserved victory for the Chicago team, as it p'.ayed superior ball throughout the game. Thcru were several errors of omission on thu part of tiie Detroit team in addition to the two errors scored against them which figured in the Chicago run making. It was anything but baseball weather yesterday afternoon. The temperature ranged between forty and fifty degrees during the game, with a cold 12-rnlle wind from the north blowing across the diamond. Several times there were showers of rain, one, while Chicago was batting in the fifth inning, being so heavy that it was necessary to interrupt play for fifteen minuts. Again in the seventh inning there was a sharp shower for a few moments, but it did not last long enough to interrupt the game. Captain Chance of the Chicago team was hit on the right hand by an inshoot while at bat In the opening inning, and his second and third fingers were badly erushed. The game was stopped while they were dressed, but Chance last nl«ht said he feared that the Injury might prevent his playing today. Just before play was called at two o'clock Manager Hugo Jennings was called to the plate. where Mayor Thompson presented him on behalf ot local admirers a life-size floral tiger I and a gold watch. 1 In the first inning Slagel flew out 1 and Sheckard followed with a single, 1 only to be thrown out when he tried to steal second. Chancc was hit with the ball, and stole second, but Steinfeldt's fly ended the inning. Jones, the first man to bat for De- troit. was given a base on balls, and Chaffer sacrificed him to second, but neither Crawford nor Cobb succeeded In getting the ball into safe territory. Chicago went out In one, two, three fashion in the second inning. Cough- lin singled in Detroit's half after Koss- man was out on an infield grounder. Tinker then retired the side unassisted with a double play on Schmidt's liner to him, catching Co ugh i in before he could start back to first. Chicago did not get a man on base in their half of the third inning. Detroit went out in regular order In the third.

Kossman followed with a dingle and Schmidt walked. The crowd was on the tiptoe of expectancy, and shouting to O'Leary to clear the bases, but he struck out. O'Leary handled 12vers* grounder slowly in the fifth Inning and ho reached t>. t base. Schulte got a base on balls and Tinker advanced both with a sacrifice.

Tinker tried to sacrifice, bunting to Donovan. The pitcher threw high to second to catch Schulte, and both were safe. Overall advanced them with a sacrifice. Then Slagle grounded to O'Leary, who threw to the plate to catch O'Leary. The Chicago man, however, slid under the ball and scored Sheckard- forced Tinker with a safe bunt. Chance forced Scheckard at second and then started to steal. Schmidt threw to Schaefer, and while the Detroit second baseman followed Chance down the base lino to retire him Slagle scored. Chance was then put out. (Continued on Second Pagre.)

Local Democrats were kept busy today in an effort to locate the spellbinders who were to have come in over the 1?., R. & P. railroad this forenoon and a large delegation of the faithful were thereby disappointed. The committee of local Democrats appointed to meet John G. Harman and W. li. Berry, who are to address a mass meeting in Snyder's hall tonight, after meeting with disappointment at both the 10:32 a. m. and 12:20 p. in. trains over the B., It. & P. railroad, because of the non-arrival of their guests, began to fear that there would be no one to speak to- I night. Klittannlng, where the speakers were last night, was called up on the long distance and the committee was informed that the delegation at tho last moment before leaving this morning, had decided to come to Punxsutawney via Reynoldsville. The telephone was again brought into requisition and at about 1:30 o'clock it was learned that the spell biners had reached Reynoldsville in safety and had taken the 1:50 p. m. street car for this place. The change in the program so upset the local arrangements that there was only a small delegation at the street car station when Candidate Harman and State Treasurer Berry finally got here at 3 o'clock. The party was escorted to the Pantall hotel, where this afternoon an informal reception is being held and where the speakers are meeting and shaking hands with prominent Democrats and sympathizers from all parts of Southern JefTerson and Northern Indiana counties. The meeting, which tonight promis.'s to bring out a large crowd, will begin at 8 o'clock. The evening session was attended by a very large ludlence, and listened to the interest ».g addresses of the Rev. D. H. Leader, D. D., superintendent of St. Paul's Orphan Home, of Butler, Pa., on the "Cause of the Orphan," and that of the Rev. Rufu* W. Miller, D.D., secretary of the General Synod Sunday School Board, on the subject of "Larger Sunday School Work and a Wider Field of Usefulness in this Special Educational Work of the Church." The partial report of the Committee on Overtures took the remainder of the day session. By Special Correspondent, GREICNSBURG, Oct. 12. — The Pittsburg Synod had a day of work yesterday, hearing many report*. The president defined the bar of the house and appointed committees on the general and special Items of business. This business was followed by the order of the day, viz: the reports of the several Boards of the Church. The report of the Board of Home Mission's was ably presented by the Rev. D. A. Souders, D. D., who was followed by the Rev. D. S. Fouse. D. D., of Des Moines, Iowa. The report of the Board of the Foreign Missions was presented by the Rev. J. H. Prugh, L>. D., of Pittsburg. He presented the cause ably, and brought many interesting things before the Synod for consideration. The report of the Board of Publications was delivered In a most interesting manner, showing the great work this Board has been doing. Rev. U. 1). Dickert, p. D., of Reading, Pa., then gave an elegant descrip- tion of the Reformed Church Review, asking for a more general support of that worthy organ of the church. The report of the Board of Visitor* of the Theological Seminary was laid before tin* Synod by Rev. D. B. Lady, I). D., of Duquesne, Pa. He touched upon the serious question of dearth in the number of young men who are willing to study for the Holy Ministry.The reports of the Sunday School mittee on the Theological Seminary was presented by the Rev. J. Bowman, D. D., of Lancaster, Pa. He reported splendid progress, but feelingly said' we must appeal more solemnly to those whom God has blessed wtth large means. To do the work we will need a largar endowment. The reporta of the Sunday School Board, of Pittsburg Synod, showed a great gain over that of former years. It was presented by the Rev. C. E. Wagoner, D. D. The treasurer's ; eport was a most interesting document, and showed that the church was wide-awake in this special department of church work. WINSTON'S V. M. C. A.
