E. Hewitt and his strong Adrian team will play with Punx'y at East End Park. The Adrian team-is said to be strictly O. K. and their friends are confident that the boys will make a creditable showing against the locals. the afternoon, the games being so i close together that he might have said to have pitched a 29-inning game. When Wilhelm came up to bat in tne sixth Inning in the game witn Hiitlei last Thursday, and had two strikes, a Butler rooter yelled at him "Wilhelm, why don't you hit the ball?"

Williams re turned to Butler for the closing series of the tirst half of the season with orphanated Jimmy Breen's team. Punx'y walked away with the first game in a manner that was unprecedented and were defeated in a ten-inning game Saturday, score ;{ to 2. It was in Friday's game that the sensation of the season in amateur baseball was sprung when .1 Lloyd MacKown, Punxsutawney's newly discovered spit ball artist. Shut Butler out without a hit or a run. In Its write-up of the game the Butler Times savs, in part; "Mr. MacKown, a muscular looking fellow with a mighty arm, yesterday evening established a new record for the hojne team on the home grounds by shutting Butler out without a hit. The clever man from Ptinxsutawney was a whirlwind in the box and he worked away with a pleasant face, always smiling and with never a kick when the umpire called a strike a ball. "It was all coming his way and It could not be otherwise it seemed from the start to the finish. Each and every player, front Bates down to the foot of the local's batting list looked the same. All they could do was to strike out or knock the ball to an inflelder. Just to show what a tough proposition they were up against, they never got but one ball into the outfield and that was a fly knocked by Traynor In the seventh inning. Everything else went into the hands of an inflelder and the Punx'y tribe had an easy way of following after the man in box. Butler played a fast game and the only thing that looked like an error was made by either Marshall or Shotwell. Marshall threw the ball and it was not what it should have been, but Shotwell dropped It when it seemed he shou'd have held it." In the above clipping the Times, you will note, says that "he (Mac- Kown) worked away with a pleasant face, always smiling and with never a kick when the umpire called a strike a ball." The Butler papers are eminently correct In roasting Graham, the umpire. Butler audiences do likewise, and so rank were the decisions of that individual in Saturday's game that the Punx'y players could have carried Graham off the field and dumped him into the city sewer without a protest from anyone excepting the policeman, whose duty it is to preserve order. 2 5 27 11 4 Bl'TLKlt.

Mr. Jordan was a member of the Hopewell M E.

He is survived by a widow and two sons and one daughter, namely: i.enry, of Oliveburg, Clark, who lives on the old homestead and Miss Lydia .Jordan, at home. He is also survived by two brothers, namely: Joseph Jordan, of Oliveburg, and James B.,of Punxsutawney.

Mr. Jordan had been critically ill a number of times during the past year, but each time had made a remarkable recovery. About a week before his death, however, he contracted pneumonia and owing to the feeble condition in which it found him the disease made rapid progress resulting in complete dissolution of the vital forces. The deceased was born on the farm now occupied by Samuel and oilliam Jordan, near Oliveburg, in March, 1K25. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jordan, deceased, who were among the earliest settlers of the county. Soon after his marriage to Nancy, daughter of the late Judge James Bell, of Bell Township, he moved to the farm near Frost burg, which was then covered with fine timber. By observing strict rules of economy and by his industry, Mr. Jordan prospered and became one of the most successful farmers in Perry Township. In early life and during the lumber manufacturing period in Jefferson County he cut and rafted much valuable timber.2 8*28 14 1 AMONG THESE SUITS YOU WILL FIND $7.50, $8, $9, $10, $12, $14, $10 & $18 VALUES The Rintl Contest.
